I just don't understand why we let players run from the halfway line unchallenged. It happens nearly every game.

Worst team in the league and we make them look like world beaters.
Wonder what’ll take to see us play some attacking football and pass to a team mate not just **** it as hard and long as possible to an empty bit of the pitch.

Ok. 3 subs needed Pieters for Dunne. Vydra for Brownhill. BPF for Norris

Performances like this hammer home how lucky we've been this season to have Fulham, WBA and Sheffield United performing how they have. This squad needs a monumental overhaul. Somehow.

I’ve seen Burnley relegated so many times and it always goes like this. Brilliant for 10-15 minutes, fail to score and then fade away. Thank goodness we are safe this time. August we go again.

Vydra for any of Cork/Brownhill/Westwood at half time please, and I’d rather an out of position Pieters to Dunne on this evidence too.

We don’t have the wide men to play this formation in an attacking way. Needs quick lads who get up alongside the front man, not orthodox wide midfielders.

That goal shouldn’t come as a shock, we have two players playing who couldn’t get regular football in league 1. Both way way way out of their depth at this level. It’s disgusting that they are realistic options.

They’re obviously told to defend like that. Keep your shape and trust Pope.

The sad thing is, if we did, we would be winning - and wouldn’t have lost so heavily to Leeds (if at all), in my opinion.

It has always felt under Dyche that when the pressure is off we just don’t turn up. That goes for league as much as Cup.

I can only think their fans haven't watched them on TV all season. Dirty bunch who could have injured 3 of our players today and the fans booing us.

Not to mention that idiot tackle on Gudmundsson earlier this season.

Your agenda against Tarkowski is really weird. He is easily one of our best players yet you have a go every game at him.

I genuinley think we have an issue with our mentality. The zoned in attitude until safety gives way to a complete lack of oomph in our game once safe. We are seeing it this season and we have seen it in past seasons. As though they are mentally exhausted.

Dyche will persist with the same approach and hope for a 0-1 to keep goal difference down. Post match interview will be about fine margins, injuries and no money zzz

Have the players and manager not heard of professional pride, yes we've secured safety, but that shouldn't mean we down tools, and they'll all still expect to get their hefty salaries won't they, so how about showing some passion, last game of the season or not it shouldn't matter they should want to play for the shirt.

Really poor, needless from Taylor. Just clear it, minute from half time and does that to give a corner away.

We’ve had some pretty awful halves of football this season but that has to be up there with the absolute worst.

We have to improve second half.
