Burnley Match Thread

[topperharley]

Cooks performance goes to show what is needed in this league if you don't setup to your players strengths, grit, steel and effort.

[QPRFCJIM]

Really pleased with that point and clean sheet.

[Martinmalta]

A most welcome point and a clean sheet! This is the first clean sheet of the season, so that's very positive. Ok we defended. What did we expect? To open up and get trashed!

[Jeffqpr]

Excellent result & welcome clean sheet

Far more solid today than v Coventry, Can't really say player lost trust in Marti as done well last couple of games and some improvement

We have to find a CF from somewhere in Jan Celar looks like he wouldn't score if he was out there on his own

[Qpr staines]

Great result was expecting Burnley to get a goal but we defended well thought I would take a proper look at celer today and I thought he looks bad doesn't make himself available doesn't get up for the headers his timing of his runs is crap and his touch is awful apart from that think we got some player on our hands haha should of got Lloyd on a lot earlier he done OK when he came on at least he got involved

[WeAreQPR12]

AHH me east side massive well said Staines, wicked

NATHAN Shepperd has joined QPR.


The 24-year-old goalkeeper, who comes to W12 having spent the second half of last season with Wycombe Wanderers, has arrived on a short-term deal.

Shepperd came through the youth system at Swansea City before joining Brentford’s B Team in the summer of 2019.

After two-and-a-half years at Griffin Park, Shepperd moved to Dundalk in January 2022 and spent 18 months with the League of Ireland side.


He was on the bench.....dunno why tho ?

Don't managers do that sort of thing to send a message to the Board that the squad is too thin and extra players are needed?

[Abseits]

Given we parked the bus and showed minimal attacking intent it was a strangely satisfying result. The amount of effort players put in was massive cos Burnley's pace and movement was pretty relentless.
Let's face it we were hanging on by our fingernails at times, but despite the multitude of threatening situations we faced, can't recall Nardi making anything other than a couple of routine saves.
We were reliant on a lot of last ditch blocks and luckily none deflected into a goal. 10 for effort, 9 for result and 1 for style and panache.

I wasn't fully focused watchinh the game, but what did others think of Ashby? I saw him lose possession a few times, but overall he seemed to have a decent game....?

Their No.30 was a right handful all game. He did most of his work up against Ashby, they must've had at least 40 individual duels. Yeah, you could pick out a few times when Ashby was skinned or roasted BUT in the context of 96 minutes he more or less held up well - I shudder to think what would've happened if it were Paal or Fox we had there. Also, baffling why they didnt send the 30 over the other side for a bit. No disrespect to Jimmy Dunne but he'd have been absolutely shredded.
I thought Ashby and Koki gelled reasonably well too down that flank - a lot more fluid than Dunne and Smyth on the other side. I would happily see Ashby start games at LB.

Per Marti, “In the end we had to use the extra keeper as a bench player because after we did the last (fitness) tests (of Dembele and Fox) it was impossible to get anyone from London here in time for the game.”
