What can I say? This was a huge game for us and we took a really decent side up to Burnley (unbeaten in our last 2 games against them) and they were simply better than us and deserved the points. They were sharper than us, quicker to the ball and more incisive when in possession. I can't remember playing a stronger Burnley squad in the 9 seasons I have been playing in these leagues. They had Rusty on the bench which tells you everything as he was just about the best player in the league a couple of years ago when we first got promoted to the top division. Congratulations Burnley, we could have had 2 or 3 goals easily on the day but then they could have too. Apparently Burnley don't take as strong a squad away with them so there is still hope for those due to play them at home.
