Blackburn Rovers 0 Burnley 1


By Burnley FC
October 24 2015

Scott Arfield picked the perfect moment to score first goal of the season and earn the derby day spoils. 

   The Clarets wide man found the top corner in the 62nd minute with a wonderful strike to seal a second successive win at Ewood Park. 

   And just how much it meant to the Scot was evident as he sparked joyous scenes, racing 80 yards to celebrate his matchwinner with the Clarets fans. 

   Jordan Rhodes had earlier spurned three chances to put Rovers ahead, and Tom Lawrence wasted the best chance of the game early in the second half with the game still scoreless. 

   And it was left to Arfield to show Rovers how to do it, with a sensational strike worthy of winning any game. 

   Sean Dyche, the first Burnley manager to take charge of four derbies since Harry Potts, made one change, with George Boyd recovering from his rolled ankle to replace Matt Taylor, who dropped to the bench. 

   And in a rip-roaring atmosphere it was an assured start by the Clarets, who wasted a first minute free kick earned by Grant Hanley barging over Andre Gray on the right.

What's the principle FC? The fact that it is Ewood or the ridiculous measures in place?

A fantastic win and three points, but in fairness had it ended a draw I don't think we could have any excuses(Sm152)

THAT is why we signed Joey Barton. I know large chunks of the game the ball was being wellied over his head, but he did what he, and the team, needed ever so well. And if he can keep his head there, which I never doubted, he can keep it anywhere.

We didn't play well, again, but we find ourselves in second. Awesome!

We were awful apart from Barton. Who cares. @#$%& off Rovers!!

Three great points, 2nd in league, bragging rights, but we were Phookin crap, but who gives a toss ,another three points in the bag from a shite performance and rovers edge nearer the bottom..how that guy missed that chance I will never know.. Good lad

24/10/2015 17:28
Great fun, daylight robbery, but a worrying performance. I've never seen us defend as poorly as that since the day Dyche walked through the door, Blackburn could have scored half a dozen, come on Sean sort it out, we can't ride our luck all season.

Wonder how well we'll do when we play well?

BC2
25/10/2015 11:30
We have played well in short spells in a few games, but overall we're not playing well. Worrying thing is we're now a quarter of the way through the season and we're still nowhere near playing well consistently, can't be far off the point when it becomes not 'when' we play well, but 'if' we play well. How long do we have to wait ?

But in the meantime we're 3rd in the league. Beats me how we're doing it but that's where we are.(Sm3)

Dave Thomas
25/10/2015 20:24
Inclined to agree with you BC.

I actually think this is as good as its going to get and we either keep grinding these results out
or
we get found out and when we play teams that take their chances we'll see a few defeats.

But two home games coming up, two more 1-0 wins and by the end of them we could even be top.

"when we play teams that take their chances we'll see a few defeats"


Reading being a case in point Dave, we gave them two chances in the first ten minutes, they smacked both of them into the back of the net, and we lost the game.

We really shouldn't be depending on the capabilty of the opposition forwards to determine our results, but that's the way it's been in a lot of games this season. It's not a sound basis for a promotion push, we need to do more.

Alfie
25/10/2015 22:08
Might help if we start playing football in the oppositions half instead of giving them the ball after fuddy duddying about just in our own half then giving/losing the ball to the opposition..

Just not good enough..

Jabberwocky
25/10/2015 22:52
We looked dangerous when it wasn't being wellied forward. Now we have a midfield we can rely on, we may as well use them.

Brian O'Neil
26/10/2015 01:41
Note of optimism...if we are doing ok by Xmas maybe we strenghthen any weak areas plus we may have players returning from injuries.Could be worse and be in a relegation fight.FFs we have dosh, bought and signed players we never thought we would and sit at the top end of the table.

I am in the glass half full camp at the moment. Not playing top of our game and in the top 3, optimistic that that if we continue at this level we could continue to grind out results and if we can up our game, then I will move into the glass full camp. smiling smiley Cheers!

"We really shouldn't be depending on the capabilty of the opposition forwards to determine our results, but that's the way it's been in a lot of games this season."

I have read on a couple of occasions at least that our strikers should have had a hat full. it works both ways.

I am with you CW. If we are playing badly and in the top three then it is a good thing. Still worried about an injury to Duff or Keane.

I can only assume that anyone who thinks we can continue playing like we did at Ewood for the rest of the season, and remain in the top 6, didn't actually see the game.

It was a tremendous result, made for a great weekend, but I don't think Dyche will be as complacent as some of our fans about it, they'll be on overtime down Gawthorpe today, working out out how a mediocre outfit like Blackburn could easily have put five goals past us.

Brian O'Neil
26/10/2015 23:59
Could have done us a favour showing those glaring weaknesses as long as we deal with them.If we don't every manager in the championship will have taken note and take advantage.Of course we Dick Turpinned them. As for Gray, if he wants to progress then he will have to adapt to the Hanleys and Keane will have to quicken his step.Every ageing midfielder needs to form a partnership with someone who has the legs to do his running and Arfield fits the bill to a T....they are on the same wavelength imo.
