Fantastic movement and a brilliant finish.

[Archie's penalty]

That's Romanian I reckon.

i know im biasedm, but i thought he bottled a few bookings for them, and booked a few of ours totally wrongly(hunt/gorkss-neither a booking in a million years- hunt clearlt didnt know he was offside, and if the balls on the floor under a players leg in the 6 yard box you have to try and dislodge it.)even roberts' for trying to wind up their player was harsh imo- the bloke desevred it for a few horror tackles imo

The Wallace "tackle" on Harte that got Roberts involved and booked was actually nothing serious at all. Virtually nil contact.

He could have sent of Rodrigues for the 2 footer I suppose but overall I thought the ref had a pretty decent game.

add sigurdsson, long and doyle to this team, and who knows what it could achieve in terms of final position, and attractive football

Couldn't play all three of them. And two of them would mean dropping Roberts.

PS... oooo What a goal.

[melonhead]

dont think roberts is really going to be first choice premiere league striker for most of the season when hes 35
id take just long and sig though

It looked nasty at the time but having now seen it on TV it was nothing-Harte managed to get a player sent off last year again on TV (?Norwich?).
An earlier poster said that his one criticism of Pearce is that he plays the ball into touch too often-I think this is a case of orders.
Last season he used to dwell on the ball much more and,as with Sonko,it looks as though the management have tolfd him to just play safe.

Never a foul on Harte never mind a booking! Roberts did not need to get involved and showed unnecessary aggression. One booking too many in that incident.

never said it was- just said all roberts did was give a bit of mouth.

[paultheroyal]

And a barge with his chest!

[melonhead]

their plaers were flying in recklessly all over the place by that point-and as a whole watrranted the reaction

was a stern talking to for both at best


although, already that was the least of the problems i had with our bookings

[Big Ern]

Not many games are teleivsed this side of the ATlantic, so it was nice to watch the team for once.

Overall, I think Burnley will feel bitterly disappointed they came away from the game with nothing. We certainly rode our luck duing periods of the game and it took the woodwork (twice) and an outstanding save from Feds to give us the 3 points. Grinding out these sort of results are the things prmotion contedners do, so hopefully it bodes well and there is certainly a lot of confidence in the team at the moment and a feeling of optimism we have not had since our last promotion season.

There were some excellent performances last night, especially from Pearce and Feds. That is the best I have seen Feds play. He look assured with his handling and made an exceptional save from Austin. Pearce is looking more and more assured, and although I had doubts about him last season, I think he is developing into a sound and secure defender who will only get better. Ledge also put in an excellent shift and broke up play well, rarely giving the ball away.

All in all, things are looking good. We have some tough games still to play this year, but I can see us sneaking into 2nd place this year. Barring a disaster, I think he should be safe at the very least for another go at the playoffs

[Hampshire Royal]

Let's forget about Kebe's shot that was cleared off the line or that unbelievable clearance from Mee or Kebe's wild shot near the end, which may well have ben more accurate had the score been different.

Not to mention the fact that the bloke who hit the woodwork should have been sent off for his brutal tackle!!

Thought it was bad at the time,confirmed on TV and as Don Goodman said 99 times out of 100 he gets a red.
Lucky boy (oh and shit ref again)

[bcubed]

I quite like TBs comments usually so giving him the benefit of the doubt that this is not a windup, here goes ---

Well, where do I start? Thank oxf*rd I did not spunk £400 plus on a ST to watch that shit. For anyone out there who genuinely thinks Reading are the real deal then think again. What football that was played came from Burnley. Gorkss's positioning for Austin's header was not even Sunday League. Roberts took his only chance well but other than that...

Referee lost the plot in the second half. How Wallace stayed on the pitch is beyond me. AGREED

Hunt's ball across in stoppage time at the end of the game was a complete joke. THOUGHT THE SAME AT THE TIME, BUT SEEING ON TV ONLY JUST MISPLACED

The back 4 apart from Pearce were a complete shambles. The midfield duo of Liegertwood and Karacan were passengers. Throughout the game there was absolutely no pressing or closing down of Burnley. DEFENCE WAS EXCELLENT AND MIDFIELD DUO PRESSED AND TACKLED FOR 90 MINS

IMHO, a draw would have been a fair result. MAYBE

And don't get me started on that fat lump in goal. WTF does Feds do? Where is the communication or dominance of the box? SHOT STOPPING BRILLIANT AS USUAL - HIS WEAKNESS IS COMING FOR CROSSES THO I THINK HE IS MUCH IMPROVED

I have seen far better non league games this season. That was shit! - I AM AFRAID THAT IS CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL

Whenever I see a post from you, I try and avoid reading it because it is normally DUMP. But this time sir you have managed to embarass yourself beyond belief. If you NEVER EVER wrote another comment on Hobnob EVER again, it would be too soon.
You talk garbage and I am SO PLEASED you watch non-league football and don't bless us with your presence at the Madstad.The club are doing ok, the attendances are pretty good, season ticket prices for next season are incredibly fair, and we have an exciting couple of months ahead.
Go back under your stone.
