Burnley and Watford last night.

Sat Aug 13, 2022 8:46 am

Watched the game last night. Two of the favourites for promotion. In what way are they better than us?

In terms of neat football, there's really not too much difference. The two key elements are;

Their players are far more confident playing the style of football they play, and it will take some time for our players to get to that level of composure.

Secondly, is the strike threat. That was clear.

Playing Watford and Burnley at home shouldnt hold too much of a threat for us, inasmuch as it wouldnt be like recent years a 'guaranteed loss, with possibility of a hammering' by the top sides.

At the moment, we are getting to be a nice side, but with no menace. Change that up top and see what happens.

You will probably find that these sides are also finding their way and the difference in fire power is non comparable when looking at our own impotency up front. I expect Watford to be top two and Burnley not far away but we don’t have many players that would start in these sides.

That’s correct and that’s why us fans need patience this season.

Good football but not exactly exiting in penalty area... match stats 4 shots on target 9 off target 2 saves and 8 corners. If we can get decent strikers in we do have a chance to come top 6. We ate not as bad as being made out? We ate evolving as a team and it will take time.

Watford can be having an awful game but they have the strike force to turn it around in one moment. We don't have that.

Burnley are a team that will grid you down and come away with a result. We are no where near that.

Will they keep saa rumours about premier league clubs sniffing around ? One thing noticed is the frustration on both set players because in championship they dont get the fouls use to in premier league.... frustration leads to bad performances

These 2 teams will be up their with others - Burnley have sold a few players of late and are rebuilding .

Watford have the fire power up front - But how many players of the above 2 teams will be sold by Jan 2023 ???
