What a gut punch to serve up a real feeling of injustice for what we mostly expected and you could probably anticipate from the balabce of play. Burnley were tidy and obviously had quality, but until we scored looked like they couldn’t finish their dinner. Despite having the beating of us down their left flank all game. Not surprised they draw a lot at home. I remember Rodriguez being a real threat... age catching up with him I guess. Much better in extended patches from us. Higher energy and higher up the pitch. We still colapsed back into our shell too often and for too long though. I've said it before and I'll say it again. If… More →

I defend referees but I have to say that was utterly appalling. No good him saying “didn’t see it, not the angle for me” - just piss poor. He could see it, it was the Lino’s side who could also see it and between them they were never giving that in a month of Sundays. Galling not giving it but to then concede at end was sickening. Against a top team in form that was a decent, battling performance and deserved more. So important they pick themselves up and go again Tuesday but fear for all these games coming up. I was so fed up I had to go for a long walk.

Lumley couldn`t have made two quality saves because Burnley only have 3 on target and 2 of them went in.

We should smash Preston Friday

He was blameless for them

having seen the highlights I’m a bit disappointed wit( Lumley’s efforts for both goals. He seems to be slow to get down to any low shot and this one really didn’t seem this far away from him and he got a touch on it.

I will say that I commend the whole town of Burnley for getting into the Halloween spirit. Lots of derelict, creepy buildings and scary looking people. Bravo.

We should but would like us to stop this run of away defeats on Tuesday first. Home form is key this year but we need to pick up points on the road esp. when we take the lead.

Personally hope the team can target their frustration from this game into the remaining games before the World Cup insanity starts and deliver some stirring performances in collecting points (or at least the collecting points part anyway).

It's frustrating because Ince has definitely improved us. We look a better team, playing much better football, with more belief. But his insistence on 3 CBs and 2 wing backs and a counter attacking style, is just seeing us camped around our box with no outlet against the better passing sides. Just like Swansea, but for portions of the game rather than all of it, we saw our wing backs pinned back by Burnley's wide players, who were good enough to beat them anyway, whilst our three centrebacks marked one striker. At times with one or two midfielders sitting in the backline. With so many teams playing 1 up front, if you're going to… More →

Vincent Kompany said he understood Reading’s frustration and admitted he thought it was a penalty too. This is now getting to be inexcusable, either all clubs just accept the “rub of the green” and tone down the general complaints and whining (after all it is just a game) or the FL accept that because of the money involved in the game now that VAR must be introduced into the Championship next season.

My Burnley supporting colleague asked me last week if I was going to the game, I said going to Burnley once was more than enough. He replied with "don't blame you, why do you think I moved down here?"
