Terrible defending again, particularly Stephens - again.
Why oh why did they not bring in a central defender?
It's almost like they're doing it deliberately to piss us all off.

He's been much better than Vestergaard. Why Bednarek isn't playing is beyond me.

Vestergaard was at fault for the second, totally lost his man leaving two on one. It was a good finish but Awful defending To give him space

Then add into the fact Ron11, that apart from Ings, we seem clueless in front of goal. Right back to the summer when we all realised that the defence was not going to be strengthened we said that we will need to score plenty of goals to counteract the number we will concede. Ings apart, we are as bad up front as we are at the back.

Playing at home seems to be our achilles heel and next week - home again against another challenger.

Totally. Stephens had his man.

Stephens actually looks better in an attacking role

He's banned for this game. Too many yellow cards.

4 games without a win now and conceding heavily and not cutting it up front. I know I will be accused of bedwetting but starting to feel we are falling back to our old ways and that the tide is turning back. We are not out of this relegation battle by a long way, but I never thought we was - unlike some and unlike our manager. Did not understand dropping Bednarek to the bench despite Ralph's reasoning. I know it was his first game, but did not see anything in KWP to suggest that he is an improvement on what we had or will be an improvement to our back line.

Why are we so poor at home and always poor against Burnley?

Beat me to it. Let's hope Vestergard has played his last game. He was absolute tosh today. No pace out of position and gave the ball away.

Stephens was one of our best players today. The central defensive weak link was Vestergaard.

McCarthy looked out of sorts all afternoon. Should have organised near post cover for the corner, shouldn't have gone so far beyond the goal line.
His distrubution was shocking.

Burnleys defending was spot on, guess they get plenty of practice. Hardly any of our crosses beat the first not one, but two defenders covering every time on the ball side of the 6 yard box.

How have we ended up with a FB even shorter that Cedric. Looked tidy on the ball, but all too easily brushed aside by the Burnley players in challenges.

People are and will vote with their feet. It's so boring and tedious. Terrible defending, game after game. We need a new defender or two and it's even boring saying it, after 4 years of needing one. It's just so pointless. We know we will always let in stupid goals with this defence and Gao won't release the funds to buy one.

I think you must have been reading too many of Nick's weekly Jack Stephens character assasinations. I was at the game today and I thought he was one of our better players, and one of the few to come out of it with any credit. Every time he takes the ball forward he causes panic amongst the opposition and he could, and maybe should, have got us a penalty with one such run. If the rest of the team showed as much desire to get forward we would be considerably more effective at home.

You should meet up with saint22 at the game next week pal. You’d get on famously.

I totally agree that he's good going forward. I made that comment earlier elsewhere on here today. I would put him up front or midfield. I also said this earlier in the season.
Defender he is not.

You don't think we should have invested in a new defender?

You don't think the poor attendances have anything to do with the predictable lack of getting anywhere?

I couldn't care a less who you think I sound like. After losing at home due to more atrocious defending, I'm just questioning the club for not buying a defender. I'm sure Nick will question the defence too won't he? Forget who I sound like, does it not annoy you that our poor defending hasn't been addressed for 4 years? Not a bit frustrated that we would be a good side were it not for the defence?

So because the same problem keeps tearing it’s uglybhead we should just shrug our ahiulders and accept it?
Fork that loser mentality
Why was Vestergaard playing? Why? Bednarek and Stephens have formed a somewhat solid partnership so why disrupt it? Ralph said we need calm, he is misreading Vestergaard being so slow and backwards for calm. He was a liability today inviting pressure, trying to play neat passes which he cannot do, doing cruyff turns
It’s a fkn travesty such basic errors are tolerated ata. Premier league club

We all know what they are and all talk about it. Just not 15 times a a day and accuse anyone who doesn’t of having a losers mentality. The other day you were going on about we should definitely sign mitrovic. How does that address our ability to stop conceding soft goals?
