They are doing great though.

Lets put things in perspective....new manager with a completely differing football philosophy and a dozen new players to integrate.

As for THB....he had a fine first half,his vision and distribution was first class.He is also a great organiser and reads play superbly.A slight lack of pace may be the only thing that prevents him reaching the top.

Cardiff equalised in 90th min... another 2p lost late in the game... seems to be a trend here for Burnley, even though they are on like 11-12 games without a defeat they draw way to many games

It’s something Vinnie needs to sort out, and I’m sure he will.

But if he reads the game well, it will make up for any lack of pace.

Im sure he will. it is a fascinating story to follow with the big turn over in playing style and as Fantasy says a new manager, a lot of new players. VK said he expected it to take 3-4 months before the players gelled and get the new style. He has also said he is positively surpriced how well they have done so far. Im sure he and Bellamy will turn it around.

To a degree,but when up against a pacey attacker,one on one,in a direct foot race,he is found wanting a bit.

Young coaches always have little bits of all of their old coaches that have rubbed off on them. And, don’t forget, Kompany was coached by Hughesless!

I would say I rate VK alot more as a manager than I ever did with Sparky. :-)

I was referring to the surplus of draws. That's what did for Sparky/Leslie/clueless/the Taffia*, wasn't it?
