Good game this. We lost 2-1. Maybe just about right but we went toe to toe with a strong and aggressive Burnley team, kept going till the end and Will Spiers probably should've scored in injury time to level it up.Originally Posted by Loramski
As intense a game as I've seen at that level. Burnley were a decent side but seemed to think we could be bullied out of the game. It didn't turn out like that though as Apter and O'Brien gave us a physical presence along with the excellent Kindon and Debono in central defence.
We played some good football. Jac Thomas linked up well with Will Spiers in the first half, Tankiewicz and Barton too on the other flank. Trey George was excellent all game and a great watch (but, surely, too small to make it) and Jake Davies was impressive as a makeshift striker.
As the game went on, Tankiewicz lost his way a bit and gave away possession a number of times but, like everyone else, never stopped working to win it back. Spiers didn't look entirely comfortable as a left winger I thought and Barton couldn't get in the game as much as he'd have wanted, but took his goal well. The positives outweighed the negatives though, a strong performance overall.
