Our survey said...
Paul F:
A distinct improvement on previous matches. Some good individual performances, especially from the front players. Hopefully we will take some positives from the game, and build on them for the rest of the season.
Danny W:
We showed more commitment than on Tuesday, which is the least that could have been expected (although we could have been at least two goals down by half time). I do think that on the second half performance we deserved our point, and indeed could have won it. This level of performance may help us up the table.
Mike:
An encouraging full debut for Papa, but still major concerns regarding the midfield. It was great to keep a clean sheet - let's hope this boosts Nik's confidence.
Chris W:
We were more lively than at the Reading game - a vast improvement. Going forward, we looked better; but the midfield is still poor.
Editor's note: This was young Chris's sixteenth consecutive home game where Burnley have not lost, and his fiftieth Burnley game in total. Hats off!
Barbara:
Papa was Taylor made to Nik a point from Palace. Johnrose to the occasion, though Granted the midfield had Little to offer. At the moment, things have gone slightly West - but hopefully the number of Cox-ups will diminish. The boys had a Brisk go in the second half, but better Mark-ing will ensure that things improve. Well...er...this is what I believe!!
Pic of the day
After the game - tired, but happy!
