What a fucking horrible team they are.

It'll probably be enough to get them promoted, but fucking hell, you need a damn sight more than that in the Premier League.

The last two (for different reasons) have shown we're not at the level to make a serious bid for promotion yet.

Lacked a bit of quality compared to the opposition for sure . Can’t fault the effort though. Most of the teams we have left to play are far more equal in terms of quality.

Some of the decision making and control in the final third was very poor.

It's hard to know how critical you can be, though, this is a team that's conceded 12 all season. However you want top look at it, and however hard they are to watch, that's remarkable. They didn't deserve to win, but give the little away at the back, and you're going to win a lot of games that you don't really deserve to.

Would I fancy us against Sheff Utd or Leeds in a final? Absolutely not.

What about against Burnley? Definitely.

Such a frustrating match.

Really pissed off with this result and how it's happened. We are so close at times, but just far too submissive when it gets crucial. The ref let them do what they wanted to do, and we didn't put enough of a fight up.

The defence and goalkeeper will get the headlines, but we aren't sharp enough at the front when we need to be either. I know they're good at the back, but we had 45 minutes of them holding onto a one goal lead and we didn't really do anywhere near enough.

Still many encouraging signs, and we are close. I think against more evenly matched teams we will be OK, but we have to stop playing against ourselves.

Need to cool off after this one.

I thought we matched them pretty well today.

Some very sloppy passes when we got to around their penalty area though.

Bottom line is, you can't gift goals to a team like Burnley. You just can't.

Are you sure it was Lampard. Wright went up said something to the ref and the ref then pulled a red out. I hope your correct and it was Lampard and not Wright

Aye, they won't get away with that against the better quality; teams will pick them open.

EMC was really poor, looks out of his depth again and needs a spell out of the team.

You have to be impressed with how solid Burnley are.

On Wednesday if we play like this we will have chances to score multiple goals I have no doubt

Keeper situation needs attention. Collins needs a confidence boost or Wilson needs to come in.

But overall we ain't that bad as 3/4 losses suggests and wednesday Vs pompey is a massive game for us.

They weren't that solid. They shit it every time we went long.

They just fell over and knew the ref would stop the game for them.

Yeah 100%, but certainly a quality issue rather than application.

Change of GK at this stage was always going to cause problems, even when that’s ignoring the quality of our backups.

Burnley were excellent at slowing the game down and the dark arts and they knew exactly what to do once they had it at 2-1.

Horrible shitty little team represents perfectly the horrible shitty little town where they come from.

Immensely frustrating game that we deserved something out of.

We didn't expect much out of the last three games and here we are. I'd have taken three points, chance to reset and go again. Portsmouth is a massive game.

Our goal was clearly offside and we gifted them two. Matched them in most areas and showed battling quality but Wright got no support from EMC or Sakamoto.

They might do better than the other 2 because they are far more organised

I wasn’t impressed at all by them to be honest. Top flight opposition won’t put the ball in the net for you twice a game.
