Burnley 1 Blackburn Rovers 0
By Burnley FC
March 5 2016
Andre Gray's 16th minute penalty fired Burnley back to the top of the Championship! Gray's cool spot kick, drilled down the middle, proved the difference as the Clarets celebrated the league double over their old rivals for the first time since 1978.

In the process, Sean Dyche’s men also extended their unbeaten league run in 2016 to 12 games as the race at the top hots up. To read the complete match report please click on the link below; |

Well here it is, the day of the big one.
There's been much talk of what he will do with Keane returning.
No brainer for me, Keane starts alongside Mee and Tarkowski drops back to the bench.

"Following the game, home supporters in the Bob Lord Stand exiting Turf Moor will be directed left down Harry Potts Way, where they must find alternative routes if heading back towards the town centre." It really is remarkable that pedestrians can be so inconvenienced.
What if you are not a football fan but wish to walk down Harry Potts Way towards town?!

Personally I'd keep well away, too many uniformed, tooled up thugs weilding batons in that area, and not too fussed about who they use them on.

They've certainly perfected the art of winning while playing poorly, just need to perfect the art of playing well and winning now and we'll take some stopping.

50/50 on the possession stats, that surprised me, I thought they had far more of the ball than us.

Allardyce style defending from rovers and no space anywhere but we still got the result. I think dyche's comments after the game just about covered it................next game.Almost forgot,Joey got caught out fecking about again 2 games on the trot, last game cost a goal today it didn't other than that MOM very well deserved imo.

It was Jones fecking about that cost us a goal at Bolton Brian, but Joey did get caught out yesterday, and it wasn't the first time, something we'll just have to live with I suppose.
Just thinking back on the game and there are only two highlights for me, the goal obviously, and Joey proudly parading his MOM trophy in front of the locked in Blackburn fans. Did they not like that.
Overall though a poor game, possibly the worst I've seen this season.

Joey played through the pain barrier with a groin strain, said he couldn't kick the ball with any power and couldn't come off cause jones went off injured. He was pretty impressive all things considered.

We'll miss Joey if he is out for a game or two with a groin strain but the squad is so strong with Marney ready and Ulvestad I have every confidence we will keep calm and carry on.

Most impressive thing about Joey for me is his reaction when he gets kicked up into the air, which happens frequently. He just gets up, shakes hands with the offender, who is invariably very apologetic, and gets on with the game.
The over-reaction the opposition are hoping for just isn't there, it's like water off a duck's back to Joey these days, he even seems to enjoy them trying it on. An absolute diamond.

A great win yesterday in whatever way it was achieved. Keeping the points machine ticking over is now paramount.

Thanks for elegant match coverage . At least far away fans may deduce an idea how Burnley fared during the match . i cannot understand when some posters say that Burnley played poorly and still gained the tree points .i believe that we have a strong iron shielded defence which is impregnable .We should speak of the great contributions of our great GK who may soon play for England .Anyhow i am glad that we defeated Blackburn

I think quite a few Championship managers would like to know as well how we manage to keep picking up the points without 'playing well' Dave. One of the main reasons is in your second sentence, we're very difficult to score against.
In very few games this season have we looked the best team in a footballing sense, not often have we even had most possession, but it matters not, they usually find a way to win, Sean Dyche himself has mentioned it on several occasions.
