Burnley 1 Hull City 1 A last gasp Robert Snodgrass free kick denied the Clarets after Steven Defour looked to have won it with a worldie!
|
Belgian international Defour struck 17 minutes from time with his first goal for the club, following a magnificent turn and run at goal from the half way line. But with virtually the last kick of the game, Snodgrass struck to level matters and break Burnley hearts. Clarets’ record signing Jeff Hendrick was named among the substitutes, after spending just two days training with his new team mates. But there was a first start for Icelandic summer signing Johann Berg Gudmundsson, who replaced Scott Arfield. However, it was a lively start from the visitors and Tom Heaton needed to be alert in the ninth minute to parry away an 18-yeard effort from Abel Hernandez, who looked to find the bottom corner with placement rather than power. An almighty scramble from Burnley’s first corner, which saw two George Boyd shots blocked, signalled the hosts’ immediate intent. And when Gudmundsson’s far post volley was deflected out into the path of Stephen Ward with 25 minutes on the clock, the Republic of Ireland full back’s audacious attempt from outside the box flew inches over.

a defeat will have us all long faced and making wild forecasts that we are all doomed
but a win and another 3 points... what a boost ... an on course again for Europe
it is a must win, if only because we must win these games against the weaker sides.

We are due for a draw...
We're even more due a 5-0 win soapy, now that would make my weekend.
Quote:Brian O'Neil
Hull are most definitely not a weaker side.
If we actually are weaker than Hull, then we really are in trouble Brian. It's going to be a long, hard season.
Only a few weeks ago someone said "Swansea is a must win game cause we're starting off with two homes and I doubt we will beat Liverpool"
My simple reply, and I quote, "Stange thing to say, each to their own, but I can see our undefeated run ending v Swansea, we will beat Liverpool though"
It's as bad as the nonsense "a good start to the season is a must".
No it's not. It's exactly the same as a good run of form at any other point of the season.

What's the forecast for Saturday then mate ? I'm saying nowt, as you know I can't get it right even at half-time, so I've no chance on a Tuesday night.
Yes there is you MORON
If we hadn't beaten Leyton Orient on the 9th of May in the year of 1987,we probably wouldn't be where we are now.
Of course,you would say that wasn't a must win game.
MORON!!!
Apart from the fact that Dyche, Heaton and Mee all saying recently that our bad start last time cost us our place in the Prem.
To add to bobs comment,Surely a good start to the season can only breed confidence and if we can look like a side that has a reasonable chance of staying up come January that can only help in enticing more quality players to join the cause.

Fulledge while you are correct, is there any reason to resort to personal abuse on this friendly site?

That patch of form cost us as we didn't pick up points but it makes no odds where that pitch of form started an ended. There are 30 periods where that winless run could have stated. Didn't make no odds when it happened. Sean has said as much. It's all media BS rhetoric that gets spat out.
The bad start didn't cost us at all. We could have swapped that run or games for the results in another run of games, switched them around and the points outcome (for us) us still the same.

Yeah he abuses others who have a different opinion than him.
I don't abuse anybody you silly old man. I don't lower myself to that at all. Once some pleb decides to call me names for whatever reason then I'll just reply as fit then. Not ONCE have I chosen to "abuse" anybody on rye internet, I'm not six. Once some two-bob c**t who doesn't know me decides they can start with the offensive name calling though, then I'll do what I want.
Think you need to drink a bit less, kiddo.

Remarkable.
State of you, ya silly old goat.

Hey Mystic Meg, never mind playing silly beggars with FL, what's the result against Hull ? Three points or what ?
If you are still adamant that there is no such thing as MUST WIN GAMES,
Of those of us who do,do you still consider us as morons ?

Wembley 2009... no win and we were insolvent... admin beckoned
I rest my case
Quote:Dave Thomas
There most certainly ARE must win games.

Yes,I agree Dave..I respect Manhugs opinions,as he is usually spot on,but in this case I have to differ with him.. It wouldn't be right though if we all held the same opinions ..
It's like a November 5th firework display, light the blue touch-paper and stand well back. Or perhaps a better analogy is the pantomome season,
Widow Twankey, "It's a must win game."
Wishy Washy, "No it isn't."
Chorus, "Oh yes it is."
Audience, "Oh no it isn't."
Love it.

Anyway,after all that,I have to say that I also don't consider this Hull game an absolute must win game.I'd be just about content with a point.
But when some pretentious young brat is insistent that there is 'no such thing as must win games'and refers to them who think different to him as morons.
Well,after going through hell with this lot that's when I can lose it.
Never heard such gobbledigook.

In some ways this IS a "must win" game - for morale, self-confidence, self-belief, contentment with a "successful" transfer window - beating Hull will give the Clarets' squad a boost that will last them a couple of months.Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 2016:09:09:08:28:22 by fulledgelad.
Needs must = must win = must win game

Hull win they get 3 points
3+3=6 Simples! 😉


A draw = 1 point each and both teams drop 2 points
1+1=2 2+2=4 then add thr two totals togethet
2+4=6 Simples!
Burnley have won 10 of the last 12 league meetings, including all four Premier League fixtures. Those four wins account for a quarter of Burnley's total victories in the division.

Imminent was the buzzword in August, I'm suggesting a different word for September.

He's good at doing that Dyche, playing down a disappointment, he will have been raging inside.
I can remember a couple of years ago after a game, he was talking about all the positive aspects, than the interviewer mentioned someone having to go off injured and said that must have been a negative, he just said 'Don't do negative'.
