My heart is broken for him. He is an absolute amazing human being, man and player. To see him crestfallen like that was hard to take. He looked like he wanted to curl up and disappear. His disappointment on his face was palpable.

I pray we see Isidor: The Revenge on Tuesday night v Derby County. They are the perfect lamb to the slaughter. This is his best chance to really make amends.

It’s not a good point when you miss two penalties in the last 10 minutes.

They did fuck all to hurt us.

Let’s not forget we hit the post.

It’s a shit result and purely down to shit finishing.

Let’s not tart it up.

Burnley are the absolute poster boys for how shit this league is this year, mind.

Second top playing like that - and it’s not a one off tonight for a big game. That’s how they play week in, week out. They’ve now scored 22 goals in their last 25 games. Dull as ditch water.

I’ll be gutted if we don’t finish above them when all is said and done.

On a positive note - that’s now Bramall Lane and Turf Moor we’ve come away from, wondering how we haven’t won. And importantly, we now only have one more game left against the rest of the top four. All three of them still have to play each other.

Only got Leeds to play of the top 4 all the others have each other to play

Can't fault the performance or the result tonight, well done lads.

My only criticism is that Isidor should never have been allowed to take the second. I get that he wanted to put things right, but it should never has been his decision.
He's a great asset to the team, but tonight needs looking into.

Is my mind playing tricks on me or did Jobe take and score one/some last year?

The lack of leaders on the pitch has never been so evident.

Wilson was absolutely shitting himself before the 2nd penalty. Somebody has to pull rank and take the ball. He was a mess.

Whag an absolute load of bollocks.
 
Get behind Isidor mind. Brilliant for us. Thought he was class tonight minus the pens and has been all season.
Someone nailed it that Kev Phillips was crap at penalties, it's not slight on his ability as a striker. Huge balls to step up again but let that be the last. It's a problem for this team currently. Take for granted the days of Fabio Borini where penalty means goal.

To be fair I’m not sure who else would take them. If Rigg was on the pitch for me he takes them. Roberts recently missed a huge one.

We don’t have a lot of goal scoring talent in the team sadly.

Penalties are less of a talent thing and more of an attitude thing.

Anyone can say they want a pen but in the moment it’s about arrogance and sheer bollocks.

O’Nien is the biggest shithouse we’ve got or Jobe has a swagger about him.

It’s easy after the fact but I never liked an emotional penalty taker, and Wilson is an emotional player for sure. Still love the daft fucker though.

Just not from 22yds anymore thank you.
