Great atmosphere, the team put in a good shift, I think the young lads will gel and cause teams some problems as the season progresses, Antennuci' goal was superb, shame we switched off for there goal, Boydd who had done sweet FA all match suddenly turned us inside out, somebody should have had a foot in even at the expense of a free kick.

Thought we were fantastic the first 30 minutes today and head and shoulders above Burnley. After that I think both teams cancelled themselves out. Cook Mowatt and Byram played well in a middle three, but did we play 4-3-3? I thought Ademyemi had a disciplined game, but looked like 5 at the back to me. Dallaslooks like he'll improve, but I didn't think he was an out and out winger more like an extra man in midfield. Wood had to work hard and I do like the look of him, but he needs help. Their number 11 looked sharp on the wing and caused Beradi issues in the first half. Still things look positive, just think we should me more attacking at home. My MOM today was Bamba. Led like a captain, although the challenge for his yellow card was a little rash :)

Agree Smitch. Only saw game on TV. Fair result but disappointed as I thought we'd won it with Lucy's cracker.
Of course people will say its our usual trick of giving a quick goal away. Which it was.
BUT BUT BUT
To me, the team seemed much more full of potential. I think we will get goals from Wood, Dallas, Lucy in addition to Sams and Mowatts
Basically, nothing happened in the match today that made me any less optimistic than earlier in the week
So MOT lads and let's stick it up them next time!!

Did you watch a different game to the one I witnessed?
We were unlucky not get a win against a relegated premier team. Yes, there will always be room for improvement but that was exciting, attacking football and all the boys put a shift in.
We won't be far off with team.

have to agree with chris lake, what game you watching?

slivestri made one top draw save and no chance with goal 5?
cook did well and did Adeyme, dallas looked really lively and played with purpose, wood looked handful and full of goals and goal threat. yet Bellushi was awful. bad challenges could of been booked 5 times, no marking for goal didn't jump for goal yet he scored higher than some. everyones opinion and all that but come on. burnley just come down, good team and we got decent point, I would say minimum 6 for all apart from bellendshi who I would give a 3 being nice (as I can make puns on his name)

Was at game in my opinion first 30 mins even, then burnley looked better until half time. Second half we were better had chances, great goal, we should have won. Only reason they scored (was a great header mind) was cause Boyde got passed 2 weak challenges, was on my side of the pitch and such a shame cause it could have been stopped, overall we were a bit better in my opinion.
Scores
Silvestri 6
Taylor 7
Berardi 7
Bellusci 7
Bamba 9
Adeyemi 7
Mowatt 5
Cook 6
Dallas 7
Wood 7
Byram 8 first half, 6 second

Overall positive start, looking good but crowd looked more like 30000 plus to me but no didn't count them

Of all the summaries that's the best one for me DG.Obviously 1 or 2, dodgy moments but was encouraged & generally impressed with yesterday MOT boys. PS, like your sister in law MM & never even met her!!

I agree about their goal DG I sit in the NE corner and they were weak tackles and I thought Silvestri could have come for it, but you never know who called for the ball. I thought we were fantastic in the first 30. Mowatt, Cook, Dallas and especially Byram dominated. If we would have took our chances we'd have been streets ahead at half time. Thought Burnley after half time closed us down well and stopped Byram playing as well as he was. I'm not sure about Bellusci, thought he was a little dicey, but overall a good result. Long way to go yet, but still think we could get a play off spot.

Don't think bellusci was as bad as people make out as bamba was more reckless in challenges n bellusci made some decent tackles n one making up for when bamba lost ball in box after trying to dribble it out. Only problem is he should of jumped when they scored the header

have to say I watched it on telly and agree with dg and others and the ball should of been stopped but on telly you see close up how poor bellischi was. feet off the floor in tackles one siccor tackle, losing men, not jumping for header, not challenging in general and when he does it looks reckless. sol did one silly challenge then sorted it out. bell looks like a red card waiting to happen or a mistake. Think it will be a good season in general and hope bell sorts it out as he shows moments of class, but I think he will be last years morrision as the guy who gets most stick on here and if we lose goals it will more often or not be his fault (unless wooten is playing of course)

I saw at least 2 reckless tackles by bamba but one he luckily touched the ball n then tried dribbling it out of box n lost it

Spot on DG. What was encouraging was that after Burnley got on top Rosler changed things at half time something Redders was incapable of doing. Was suprised at the crowd too. There didn't seem to be many spaces looking around the ground.

I agree Early days let's make more accurate judgements come September. I am reserving judgement and hoping that Wood fluffed chances are not indicative of his limited skill level. Bamba is a rock in defense and carries a mix of Sol Campbell and Micheal Duberry (figure that out!)

Not a bad result.was following it on the been website.sounds like similar problem as last season, don't shut up shop for 10 minutes after scoring and give away a goal very quickly afterwards.at least we didn't loose.onwards and upwards!

Another quality addition at the centre of defense is a must

Agree, but the fault for their goal lies with whoever was supposed to be tracking back on our left side. Their guy had way too much time to pick his spot with the cross which gave a huge advantage to their striker.

Dallas looking good but the 433 needs to alternate.
