WHUFC The Burnley game is massive now, isn't it

Post Come On You Irons »

After the capitulation against Chelsea with Nuno's negative, clown ville second half surrender monkey tactics, the Burnley game is pretty much last chance saloon IMO.

Lose it and we're as good as down. Win it (as we should) and we'll have a fighting chance. A draw is no good to us.

They will sit back and let us have the ball imo unlike Spurs, Sunderland and even 50 mins against Chelsea.  They will also know that we have no bench when our 2 forwards and others tire.

We beat Spurs and then Sunderlund, and were unlucky not to get something against Chelsea due to poor finishing 

I think we will take Burnley to the cleaners

We have the superior players and are in better form, therefore I will not be at all surprised if we lose.

I think for his sake we need to keep him out of the side for the rest of the season then ship him out quietly to anyone for 50p and a pound of grapes.

The script is already written and awaiting rehearsal on the MOTD set as we speak.

Didn't something similar happen to us against someone else in the season? Or maybe a Striker ending a long baron run in front of goal? Burnley did look proper wank against fellow promoted Club Sunderland on Monday though. Can't see them winning but a draw if we fail to score. I think we can manage that as we have been scoring freely of late.

If we do manage to take a lead, hopefully it’s right at the end of the second half, as I don’t think I could take Nuno pissing away yet another 3 points with his retarded self defeating defensive tactics.

I fancy us to win based on our current form and the fact that Burnley are shit. It would hardly be a shock if we lost though.

Agree with fraser though, how many 'must win's' and '6 pointers' have we had now ffs?

Friday is vital too, need a draw or a Forest win.

Yet here we are again a month on with another last chance, so fuck knows if it is... But yes I win would be nice.. 
The difference is, we now have some new signings and some good form, so time to start accumulating points.

Brilliantly, he's perked up since we played Forest in front of 34k courtesy of my MATE who works at the stadium.

I dunno. There was no fight or determination or even frustration on losing his place in the team. The bloke is a fucking melt. Physically he's a prototypical centre back who really looks the part but he's just soft between the ears.

Floats like a bee and stings like a butterfly.
