Midfield needs to support Bassette better. As commentators mentioned he's horribly isolated.

Classic 5-blob-1 performance.

I must say Carr seems to have given us some real defensive stability. He’s set this team up well tonight I think…

Well yeh when we are playing 9 at the back and Bassette up front i’d expect some defensive stability

Some will say that was a solid first half. Personally think it’s unsustainable, but let’s see.

Yeah you’d ply 4 upfront, and completely have us spunk our load 45 minutes in and lose 3-0.

A smash and grab 1-0 here would set us up nicely for super Franky.

Happy enough with that first half personally. Away to a parachute autos chasing team and we look solid under a interim manager should be remembered

Well it's not an exciting watch but it is about time we stopped conceding so much and we have to start somewhere. We'll go at them in the second.

Not been pretty but impressed with how we’ve defended the box and kept our shape. Haven’t been able to say that about many of our games this year if any.

Not sure what people were expecting but we were never going to have much in the way of possession here.

Socked up their pressure well. Just need some sort of out ball to norm

So far we’re doing the job and setting up to Nick a winner. Some think we could have blown these away 3-0 if we went more attacking. I think it’s smart by Carr

No shots on target
No shots at all come to that.

I guess a clean sheet would give the defence some confidence,

I’m actually encouraged by that first half.

We’re up against a team that will probably go up automatically come May.

We’ve started 3421 and shown flexibility to change it up. We don’t usually see this.

Yeah, a little more control and care further forward would be nice but we’re still in this.

Let's see if Carr changes anything. Possibly Rudoni for Saka and Simms for Basette

I can’t even remember us having the ball in the final third.

The yellow for norm has been such a blow.

I know it’s the rules but they had 2 players asking the ref and Scot Parker having a go at the 4th to get the booking

My only concern that half is I want to see a bit more from Sakamoto and Torp in the second half.

Some good performances there so far though. Dasilva (ignoring the dodgy header back to Collins) and Lati both had a good half there.

A strange game to assess. We have defended and pressed brilliantly, but we have been incredibly sloppy in possession giving a lot of cheap ball away. If we are going to get a smash and grab we need to have better quality when we do get the ball. I'd be tempted to get EMC on for Torp now that Lati has moved into the midfield, and keep Tats on the right

You'd take a 0-0 at full time so 0-0 at half time is fine. As we have a strong squad we may even be able to make the changes needed to nick it, but let's see.

The commentators mentioned Burnley have conceded 2 goals all season at home.

We were never going to come here and just attack them

If it’s all we’ve got then feeling slightly underwhelmed.
If it’s a ploy to get the crowd restless and then we smash them on the break then I like it.

Yes, but a single shot wouldn't cause them to combust.

We have defended really well as a whole team. Carr has got us well organised. We just haven't used the ball well enough when possession is turned over. Torp particularly has struggled getting involved. Think Rudoni might be on soon for him. Burnley have not given us any time on the ball, which has made it difficult. Hopefully they will tire in second half and there will be more space.

DaSilva playing well… not put a foot wrong. We are quick to criticise but let’s give some praise aswell

Yeah, looks to me like 3-4-2-1 in possession (not that we have the ball very long), then 4-5-1 when Burnley have the ball?
