Huffed and puffed but created almost nothing then conceded a soft goal. How many times have we said that over past couple of years?

Lost Fadz and O'Hare to injury plus others. Been left with just 1 first team striker and 1 attacking midfielder.
It's been a disaster.

Zero shots on target today.

Chins up fellas, I for one was expecting a hammering after Wrexham. We had an emergency formation, a ref with a Burnley kit on underneath his black and yet had a great spell first half. You look at their bench and you look at ours, they were ALWAYS going to be able to bring on quality as our knackered players faded totally, and so it was. At least Doug knows we need more (as I am sure he did already).

On paper that's not too bad given the state of the squad and the off the pitch stuff. Most people were expecting a loss today, but having watched it we had our chances to win, which makes it even more frustrating to get nothing out of the game
We need bodies through the door asap as the squad is paper thin, it won't take long before we start picking up further injuries to the starting 11 if we dont rotate

I don’t even think fifa know, games fucked and rotten past 10 years the game has been changed so much and not for the better.

FIFA trying to send a message, respective domestic FA's saying "we can't hear you!"

Did alright, better than expected. Once Vik fluffed his 1 on 1 you knew how it was gonna go.
New lad looks promising.
Dabo defended well and deserve a mention after recent criticism.
Nobody shocking, nobody brilliant.

Pissed off and proud at the same time. Should of taken a point from that. Vik didn’t even miss that one v one because he didn’t even get a shot away, shocking. Dabo laziness lost his man and he scored, piss poor from him.
apart from that, a great effort considering the bench we had from the rest of them.

Switch off once they score. They switch off half a dozen times and get away with it. Today isn't on the defence

What was the point of the World Cup? it’s stopped our momentum.
How many times has Gyokeres missed a 1 on1 this season. Cost us at least a point today.

Less moaning more just disappointment. Harsh result really

Stating the obvious but we need 3 or 4 decent additions in.
It's inconceivable we don't get at least a couple in before next Saturday.

I assume that the directives in place for the WC weren't part of the league's at the start of the season and don't want to/can't change them mid -season

I didn't think so either, they did well.

Same old story - don't take our chances and then get punished because our team hasn't been adequately funded.

How many goals has he scored this season?

They pretty much did what was asked on them. Allen twice in the first half, then Palmer, and then Gyo inexplicably not even shooting for a 1 v 1. A better side would have torn Burnley apart today.

Losing fair and square is one thing, but losing to a goal that shouldn’t have stood is another blow to the player’s confidence. If only, if only…
We need a striker, a goal scoring midfielder, a centre back and probably two more players for the bench at this rate. Simply has to be done, otherwise I’m not confident that we can even stabilise and finish mid table.
Some positives though, from today: Cuffy looks promising and we’re clearly creating chances, but there’s no end product. Allen can’t shoot for shit, Palmer wants too much time before taking a shot, and there’s Vik running his arse off with no support.
Hopefully, there’s a few signings in the pipeline next week.
