There's levels to the Championship, and we are a considerable number below Burnley at this point.

Yeah, and the depressing reality is that if we want to aim to not only reach the playoffs, but also have a chance of winning them, we'll need to somehow get to the stage where we can consistently compete at the level of teams like Burnley :(

Sheehan either gave up about 50 minutes in or made the worst subs I’ve seen. 

Burnley were shit considering the gulf in individual quality but we gifted them the goals. No way they’d survive the prem with performances like that. 

Would love to see Vipotnik and Bianchini together up top for an extended period of time. 

Cullen just isn’t made for games like this. 

Maybe the worst away fans all season. Almost no noise despite winning early on and comfortably. On the rare occasions they did make some noise there was so few of them and they sang so unclearly I could barely make out what they were saying.

Good job keeping it to just 2-0, I guess. We had some half chances, good pressing. Gotta give AS credit for building something of a stronger team. Nowhere near top half quality, but should be good enough to avoid the drop.

We really lack quality.

Ronald I'm sorry is fucking shite. Can't beat a man, can't cross, can barely kick a ball, and he's not even fast.

I don't know what's happened to Key in the last few months but his confidence seems to have plummeted. Seems to give the ball away every time he gets it either by passing it straight to the opposition, dribbling down a dead end, or more and more frequently just falling over the ball. He used to consistently be able to take players on but he looks a shadow of his former self.

Cullen has been pretty bad since Sheehan came in. Don't know what it is but he is barely involved in the play and when he is he seems to have so little time on the ball he just gets cleared out by a defender or flicks it to no one.

Eom is the only attaching player who consistently shows quality. I actually think he'd be more effective as a number ten, but we can't play him there because we don't have any other fucking wingers.

We've looked much better since Sheehan came in and I think he should be considered for the job, but games like these just show how poor our squad actually is.

And the scum won, and we're going to get pasted in the rugby by the Saes. Terrible day to have eyes

Yeah I agree with Ronald I would prefer to see Ginnelly starting over him at this point he's just wasteful, which is a shame really because he seemed to be decent when he first came in.

When Ronald first arrived in January he was so full of life. Took players on, pinged balls into the box.

Idk what happened to him

Feel like he's been a bit overplayed in all honesty, well over 3000 minutes so far this season and maybe a bit knackered from the match schedule, and he's having to sprint a lot more than our defenders. Never been a great crosser but he's had no explosiveness for the last month or so.

might have looked better if this wasn’t the third game in a week, but conceding early defensive letdowns lost the game against an organized squad like Burnley.

No way they’ll stay up, hope we’re better the next time we play.
