I haven’t said that at all. I’m talking about his behaviour on social media. It’s immature and bitchy. It shows a certain lack of character in my opinion. I don’t know what’s gone on, but from all the noise around this it does seem to portray him as entitled and with a chip on his shoulder.

What a knob! Have I said that already? Seriously though… the kind of person who posts shit like this tells you all need to know about that kind of person. Get rid!

What a dick!

I'd forgotten we were in the UEFA competitions this year. Oh wait, we're not....

Gone with Pickford. After an unlucky ricochet to end the first half, the save at the end to get us a point out of the game could be pivotal. If it had gone in we would all be moaning and depressed, but a point away, two goals and a decent performance puts things in a better light.

Just my luck. I turn away for a minute and we score our only goal of the season!

If you'd have given me the choice between Gray and Iwobo to go, it would have been this lad.

We've got a striker, and he's already scored a goal. We're gonna win the league!

Very easily done.

Dyche is going to have a real problem on his hands concerning who he starts up front at the weekend: Beto, or not Beto, that is the question.

As long as you partially agree, I'm fine with that. And I don't completely disagree with you. I just don't think the win should paper over what was an embarrassing first half. It really was like watching schoolboys: passing the ball to where players were 5 minutes ago; running forward with your head down straight into deadends; balls bouncing around everywhere; running around like headless chickens; frantic, panicked, and amateur. It was obvious we were playing straight into their hands; their crowd were bouyed, and they were lifted by that. We needed to calm it down and take the sting and impetus out of them. They were obviously going to be up for it, pumped up with visions of giant-killer glory. We were never going to beat them at that game. And perhaps Gana should have come on after 20 minutes to offer that bit of composure. But I agree, the right subs were made at half time and we managed to impress a bit more dominance in the second half. Hopefully, we'll kick on from here. But I'm not forgiving that first half because it was an absolute disgrace.

Will give opposition defenders a lot to think about. Could have had a hattrick really - if the goal was a few inches wider and Gana had have played him in earlier at the end. Some of his passing/crossing was a bit wayward, so I can see him being a bit frustrating at times. But it's great to actually have a proper striker.

He's just one of those players that you don't realise what he brings till he's not playing.

Thought he tried quite well to link up play around the box, much better suited to that role.

Better second half, and glad we managed to pull ourselves out of the shit. Hopefully, that win will give us the jump we need to get our season started. Beto - at last a proper forward player. Can't wait for him to become the next Lukaku! Can see plenty of holes in his game, but at least he scored. Maupay even looked better playing off him, able to to run around a bit more and link up play - as for the second goal. Overall, just relief we got through that, and that we didn't have to suffer the agony of penalties. However, we can't let the win whitewash that diabolical first half. Someone has to answer for that, and that someone is Dyche. If we'd have gone on to lose that, I'd have been straight on the Dyche Out bandwagon, and I'm not one for changing managers at the drop of the hat. But he's showed tonight that he might well not be up for the job, because there's is no way we should have been played off the park and embarrassed the way we were by the worst team (position-wise) in the country. But if we don't get a result against Sheffield United at the weekend, especially if we play anywhere as near as badly as tonight or we have done recently, then I think the wolves will be out.

Thank fuck for that.

Redeemed!

Beto!

Looks like an upgrade on what we have at least.

Looks like Garner at right back with Young in front of him.

Should have got a foot on the ball early on and slowed the game down. Playing like headless chickens just played straight into their hands, got their crowd up and ultimately gave them the impetus to score. Desperately needed a calm, experienced head in there.

They better had be because forget lack of effort - they ran around enough (in circles and deadends) - but just absolutely zero quality. I said earlier, it's like watching schoolboys playing.

Absolute dross. Don't think I've ever seen a poorer half.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha All I can do is laugh at these clowns!

Jesus Christ! What the fuck am I watching?
