Huddersfield v Burnley

[CANARYKING 708]

Burnley’s new players combining well , one up

[MORDENCANARY 71]

Burnley look like they'll be right up there. Uddersfield look like they're in for a long season.

[Darth Canary1 92]

Started well and look very good. Could of been out of sight already 

[king canary 8,757]

Huddersfield getting to the play off final last year was a really clear indication of how weak this league is.

More to so with the excellence of the previous manager ,who sadly for Hudders decided to leave.

Burnley is sure playing some good football! They also have lots of variation in building the chances, so hard team to defend against

I'm sorry I think it's more Huddersfield being poor than Burnley looking good.

Burnley have lost a fair few players but their core is still PL, whereas Huddersfield seem to have had to tighten their belts a little too much along with their manager leaving…not a great mix

[Don’t be Krul 452]

When are you lot gonna learn? It's not Burnley, it's Vincent Kompany's Burnley

[Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,618]

Huddersfield punched well above their weight last season, and even if they'd kept their squad together, they would've found it extremely difficult to mount another promotion challenge. The fact they've lost several important players, and Corboran, means they're likely to finish mid-table at best (and I was thinking that before kick off).

[ricardo 8,034]

Massive difference in class so far. Burnley should be three up by now.

[MORDENCANARY 71]

Difficult to fully get a handle on Kompany's Burnley due to just how poor the opposition have been.

[duke63 739]

There is no way Burnley can play at that level intensity over 90 minutes for 46 games.

West Brom started that way last season and soon ran out of steam.

[Mason 47 1,925]

Nothing proven after 45 minutes. Whilst  I do think they'll be in the top 6, Huddersfield do look pretty rubbish.

We tonked Blackburn 4-1 away in the opening game a few years back and finished 8th

[Naturalcynic 817]

Huddersfield booed off the pitch at half-time.  I believe some have described such behaviour as “tin-pot”.

[MORDENCANARY 71]

Indeed and despite all Burnley's control they're only one up.

Huddersfield still in lockdown or something?  Whole lower tier is closed off.

Yeah, this. Luton, Watford and Hull in their next three after this... how many points they have after four games will be a much better barometer of where they're at.

That's down to ticket sales, isn't it? Rather than open a fourth stand with all the costs that entails (staff, stewarding etc) they close it unless ticket sales justifies.

You'd think they would close the upper tier though?

I would have thought an upper tier would be cheaper to run than a lower tier. 

[Terminally Yellow 2,614]

That Anjorin looks a player. We were linked weren't we? Seems like the sort of player Dean Smith would want in his midfield, big, dynamic, strong, picks up the ball and runs at the opposition.

Huddersfield looking better this half. 

[Google Bot 3,934]

That kick out from Thomas, imagine the fuss that would've been made in the prem league.   Must say I do like this league PL does my head in!

Probably more to do with them getting decent advertising revenue from those banners, is the real reason now I think about it more.

To be fair, booing your team at half time in the first game of the season when 1-0 down is pretty ridiculous, even if they have been crap.

[cambridgeshire canary 7,798]

Imagine getting booked for timewasting in the 64th minute

I was shocked that neither the ref nor the two commentators noticed it. 

And after just booting the ball at Taylor when he was on the ground, how on earth has be still not been booked, never mind sent off?

[Terminally Yellow 2,614]

Interesting. Clamping down on time wasting. 

[Google Bot 3,934]

They say not handball on commentary, that would've been given under VAR wouldn't it?

akin to Farkeball i.e. will walk the league?

[ricardo 8,034]

Burnley gone a bit quiet now. Much more even game.
