Just a few weeks back when we were on our loosing streak,most of you guys were calling for AW to call up the youngsters becuase they seemed to be ready ad had the 'chemistry and talent to beat most teams', to roughly quote a few on you guys.
Well i do really hate to say I told you so but well I did!
Raw talent and chemistry counts for nothing when you have players in the team who shouldnt even be there in the first place.. Like Rodgers; he was like a rabbit caught in headlights and was totally overwhelmed by the whole occasion,Bendtner should have never started ahead of Simpson,the young lad played excellent against Wigan and this is how AW repays him? By dropping him for a very,very out of form striker.
My concerns are starting to grow with Bendy more & more these days becuase he's has just not shown any kind of progress this season in the slightest,its more lilke hes taken a few steps back to be quite honest.
No mate most were calling for the kids to be played because if we were going to lose 2-0 at home and 3-0 away atleast the youngsters would give at better go and seem more up for it.
I don't actually remember anyone saying the kids are better than the first team? Just that they would try harder.
I thought last nights game was good. If we had put in one of our chances in the first 15 minutes it could of been a whole diffrent game. But thats football.
True enough once we went two goals behind we didn't have a good plan B, but i thought that was more because Burnley were set up so well. They are on a good run in the championship, have only lost once at home this season (and that was back in august). Plus they put out Fulham and Chelsea, at the bridge.
Well done Burnley, took your chances and deserved the win. I hope you go all the way.
