So. 90 seconds left and we're playing keep ball along the back line.

 

What choice do the defenders have? There aren't any central midfielders to pass to.

That was shocking from the players. Walking Russball still infects the team.

Come on - Ivan has been here long enough so this was fully down to him and his weird team selection, formation and tactics. Prepared to give him time but today rings alarm bells for me. Let's see how he goes for the rest of the season but I'm not liking the 5 at the back formation and it proved hopeless again today against poor opposition.

5 at the back but only 1 CB.

In a season of crap games and endless lows, that’s right up there with the worst. 
Terrible, weird starting line up, 5 at the back Vs Burnley at home. Jesus Christ we get what we deserve.

Woeful, abject, boring, useless, quality free performance. Against Burnley. 😱

Only watched the second half. I've seen some absolute garbage over the years, but that was as bad as anything I've seen, we are woeful. We offered nothing, not a threat at all, swaned about as normal with no attacking intent. Our fitness looks bad and we certainly don't have a 'kitchen sink', because we offered nothing, nada, zilch. 

Anybody who thinks we are going to compete in the championship next season with this lot, no chance. Not enough talent, not enough effort, not enough heart, totally and utterly shyte.

Two incredibly boring teams in an incredibly boring match. Did we have a shot on target after they scored?  Does Juric really think Will 'gamechanger' Smallbone is the answer to anything?

Fortunately, SR have done an incredible job of detaching me emotionally from the club I've supported for over 50 years.

I just don't care .

We have never looked liked scoring since Ings left and we did not buy any decent strikers.Burnley goalkeeper had such an easy afternoon.

Fuck off Ivan with your shite formation.

I hate this fucking team.  Load of lazy cunts.  Even Smallbone couldn’t break into a sprint after being on the pitch for 5 minutes.  Cunts, the lot of them.

Spors watching from directors box today, so expect decisive action! Didn’t look happy…

Pretty much everyone, bar maybe  Sullemana and Wellington, had an off day. 

Passing was terrible, crossing was even worse. 

As for Manning, he was the worst of the lot. Chose the wrong option every time, and missed a sitter. Can't understand why he swopped with Wellington, and why he didn't get hooked after they scored. 

PANTS !

Can we not get a coach who doesn't try to be too clever, is not welded to one system and who sends out a team to play the game as it should be played - simple pass and move, get in between the lines, move the ball around at pace and try to score some fucking goals. Surely that's not too much to ask. I get that we don't have the best squad in the world but it really shouldn't be as bad as the rubbish we're witnessing. These coaches and players are meant to be professionals but you wouldn't know it.

This team piss me off so much, I'm annoyed I wasted 2 hours of my day watching it on the internet. I could've done something more interesting like wash the cars in the freezing cold. 

Seriously though, what is wrong with most of them? Second half just looked so half-hearted most of the time. I don't actually have much to say ... shit and irritating. Logging off to go cook and chop stuff up.

Genuinely cant decide whether I'd love to live in a world where I thought that football was so simple that I just shouted about formations every week or not. The delusion is incredible but it must be such a blissful life in a way.

We did last season, but it didn't involve any of this current crap up front so that was helpful.

Am absolutely done with this lot. Losing is one thing, but losing like that is just pathetic. The whole lot of them can just fuck off. They were an fuckin disgrace out there today, bar probably Wellington and Sulemana. Fed up with watching Aribo just stroll around the pitch offering nothing, then Smallbone who just bottles every tackle going.

Well think yourselves lucky, at least YOU didn't get up at 10 minutes to four o'clock this Sunday morning

just to be rewarded with that load of rubbish. ( NZ time is 13 hours ahead of UK time )

Balancing that, 13 hours is the time our team and coaches are behind the speed of play.

Sadly, this one really feels like it's on Juric.
Bad formation, worse tactics, useless and badly timed subs...
Another sad day

Good rehearsal for next season, expect more teams will set up like Burnley, Juric complete clueless how to approach that.

If you factor out the own goals, goalkeeping howlers and fluke deflections which have gone our way recently, I don’t think we particularly look like a goal scoring team. It’s no surprise that we drew a blank against a team which defends as well as Burnley. Shame really, a bit of a cup run would have given us some mild interest in the second half of this season.

I think people are reading too much into this game, yes it was poor, yes the players were off it, yes the team was a bit weird. I expect the team selection was driven by our shortage of match fit centre backs. We really don’t need a cup run, if you are going to experiment, that’s if that is what Ivan was doing, if you are going to rest players today was the day to do it.

He played 4 full-backs and had 2 centre backs on the bench.  Ridiculous.

I’m not sure I’d agree that today was “experimenting” to be honest, though there is a bit of truth to the injury situation (although tbf we did have two centre backs on the bench so it’s not as if we were completely out of options).

The damage is going to take YEARS to un-fuck.

Too many players still playing walking crab football.  Juric has been disappointing.  I can take losing, we’re used to it.  But I’m not seeing work-rate from the team.  You can count the number of sprints on one hand.  It’s fucking awful.

Yet some people on here think " we " will stroll through the championship next season. More likely go through the bottom of it like a vindaloo through a baby.

As I have said before, I don't understand how we score goals in this Juric team.  What is our plan? I understood more under RM but we just didn't have the ability to carry it out the plan of drawing teams onto us.  Under Juric, what is the plan????

Ok
Juric was poor today as were Fernandes and Dibling.
Training this week:
How to trap a ball.
How to pass a ball along the ground…..!!!!!
How to press.
FITNESS - Burnley were twice as fit as us!!!!
How to look and pass forwards.

That will do for now.

Priorities.
1. Three twenty six mile runs!
2. Head up, pass forwards.
3. Trapping a ball.
4. Passing along the ground. 
5. Pressing properly.
6. Watch how Burnley played in technical detail.
7. Juric. Be ahead of the game, we were being completely outplayed in midfield and you let it ride! Sort it out!

Nah come on, today was our last competitive match of the season, he's got plenty more chances for experiments in pointless league games if he wants to do that
