. Anyway back to the game, with the amount of injuries and suspensions we just need to try and grind out a scrappy 1-0 (hopefully)

Cannot believe we have double them.
That is hugely weird, we really aren't a dirty team.
But we are a moany team and that gets cards which means refs look at the game coming up and expect to see a dirty side - so they do see a dirty side. And what you get in Burnley ... a ref looking for nastiness where it simply doesn't exist.
Unfortunately I think you're right ... add on Tanno's absurd dives with all the dramatics too.

2-1 to us
Also, look at the bookings/fouls ratio.
The last 5 games we have had 14 yellows and 2 reds from 47 fouls
The opposition have picked up just 9 yellows from 64 fouls.
