Dyche: Burnley should have taken three points in Rovers clash

10:37am Monday 3rd December 2012 in Sport

Sean Dyche Sean Dyche

SEAN Dyche felt a point was the least his players deserved on derby day, declaring it would have been “a travesty” if Burnley had been beaten.

After bossing the first half against Blackburn, the Clarets fell behind to a Jordan Rhodes header in the 68th minute.

But Sam Vokes made it all square by heading his second goal of the season past Paul Robinson in the 89th.

Dyche believed his players had done enough over the course of the game to warrant all three points.

But despite encouraging his players to re-write the derby history books – after an almost 34-year wait to beat Rovers – in the circumstances he admitted that he was satisfied with the draw.

“I like the mentality of these games,” said the Burnley boss.

“I was even suggesting the turnaround in history, making it clear to the lads what better chance have you got?

“When it’s so far against you historically it’s time to turn it round and we so nearly did, and probably should have.

“But to give the fans that goal at the end is really important because it would have been a bit of a travesty I felt to come away from that with nothing.

“In the first half I thought we were very dominant on every level, the physicality of the side, the organisation and what I was very pleased with and I thought was very important was the quality of it.

“Not just the quality, but you want to shift the ball, you want to keep it, but you have to penetrate and I thought we penetrated on many occasions and came across two centre halves and a keeper in fine form in the first half.”

But Dyche admitted it was difficult to sustain that level of performance for an entire game.

“They’re good sides that you play against in the Championship and it’s very difficult to dominate 90 minutes plus whatever else the referee plays. You’re trying to do that and you want that consistency of performance,” he said.

“They got back into it in a spell when it wasn’t great football but rough and tumble and then got a goal against the grain of it, on the break, which we were disappointed with.

“But the mentality of the group was fantastic.

“After that little soft spell in the performance I thought we came back very strong and finished in fine shape, and going forward on the front foot as I call it.

“The mentality got affected for about 10 minutes and then it came back again, and we started playing again and shifting the ball. I really enjoyed the impact the subs made because that’s important over a season that they’re ready to come on and ready to affect the game and they affected it on the day.

“Overall I thought we deserved minimum a point and probably on reflection all three.”

Should never won anybody anything. You didn't win and that's that. If Rovers put all their team on garden leave, Burnley still couldn't engineer a win.

but its not though and thats the point that seems to elude most Rovers fans. In previous years we have watched with more hope than expectation and have been second best in every match.
.
Yesterday was perhaps the first time that the crowd spent the match actually focused on the football not shouting insults and that was because we were the better team (and thats backed up by all the statistics, shots on and off target, number of passes, time spent in oposing half, corners, throw ins etc in fact the only stat that Rovers were clearly ahead was saves by goalkeeper (who was the man of the match).
.
As for "baloney leading up to the game" what do you expect the players and management to say? Burnley didn't bottle it, Rovers where saved by some excellent goalkeeping from Robinson (who was the man of the match) and some brave "body on the line" defending. Rovers didn't have a meaningful shot on target until the 61st minute. 3 corners of which 2 didn't get past the first man, 2 direct free kicks into the wall etc.
.
We may be a small town mid table Championship club but for the first time in years, having watched probably the weakest Rovers team I can remember, we were the better team and thats why there was so much joy when we equalised, not just because it was the 89th minute and it must have been a crushing feeling, but the realisation that not only was it deserved but it highlighted just how far Rovers have fallen. Promotion? you wont even get in the playoffs.

A draw was not the worst result. Fact is you dont always get what you deserve, so if you cant win.... dont lose, respect the point! Sean's record is still playoff form and I like what I see and hear. Actually, I always fancied us more in the away fixture anyway. We'll see!

When will the B******s realize that their time is over. Jack Walker and his money are long gone. The owners of the club are Indian businessmen who only care about making money and promoting their name. They will have no hesitation in closing the club down if it starts to lose money which it surely is. They have already had a nice return on the original investment. BRFC is simply a plaything to the. The appointment of Berg and the sale of any decent players supports this. Rhodes was only bought in the hope his value would increase. Dreams of a return to the PL are exactly that.......dreams and wild ones at that. Rovers are poorly supported, poorly run and the fans need to face up to fact that they are back in the real world and not Uncle Jacks Fantasyland.

however, i have always enjoyed your smug contributions which are usually laced with wit and insight.

i wouldn't normally comment on anybody's typos and grammar. but for one so normally precise - i feel compelled to make the observation that your often high standards are progressively slipping.

Hello Midas, you appear to be easily mistaken. You are correct that there isn't much between the two sides at the moment. But as soon as berg recognises that we have no pace at all in midfield then the rest will take care of itself. Was murphy on the pitch yesterday? they failed to mention him until the 83rd minute and then to only say he looked exhausted. I'd sooner berg put one of the acadamy lads in than this slug. As you well know its easy playing against a team with ten men which is what you were doing for ninety minutes.
Next time we play you i predict a thoroughly good drubbing, and deep down I think you know thats on the horizon too. Your mr van dyke took over a half decent squad. Berg on the other hand inherited a very depleted one and Keans parting gift of Murphy and Etuhu has had every championship club collectively p1ssing their sides laughing. Murphy never had any legs and now he's lost his desire. When you consider that egg head sold an entire first team and replaced them with cheap imports, the damage will take longer than 6 games to put back in order. I believe Berg will do just that. So a better yardstick will be when we next meet so until then a draw on your own patch against a truly awful Rovers side, was as bad as a defeat.

Other issue only briefly touched on is the state of both clubs finances and make no mistake Burnley's are not great but Rovers are getting close to meltdown.

Just watch over the next few months as the noose tightens.

I don't think your idea of football teams without goalkeepers will catch-on, MC. Fancy a goalie making SAVES !!! Anyway, I've emailed FIFA with your suggestion.

You could be right :-) I am starting to find myself responding to the most witless comments! I'm sure I was responding to a much better class of Rovers fan 18 months ago! Where have the "old school" gone?
my opinion....the whole kean fiasco got me really down. there are only so many iterations of the same - reference his incompetence and the way that he (and others tore my club apart.

i can't really stand posting negative vitriol constantly and much prefer a bit of good old ribaldry, rapport and banter.

i think a lot of the old school had had enough of the whole kit and caboodle. you can't stop loving your team, but you can stop it dragging you down. not saying there are green shoots yet and if there is light at the end, but there are signs that at least we are not getting any worse (on or off the field).

some rovers fans think shebby singh is a positive for the club - i think he is a stooge....a paper tiger telling all concerned what he thinks he wants them to hear.....but at least there is a dialogue between the club and the town now, even if it is largely BS. i am no fan of the preston pack and they seem to have little to mo impact on the strategy or even the day-to-day.

berg may prove a worthy manager - i really hope so. he deserves a bit of time to try and drag us out of the pit we had descended in. i hope he proves to be his own man and not a puppet. a bit early to tell.

from an outsider's perspective i think dyche will prove to be a good manager for your lot. i used to live in watford and he was doing a cracking job there and it was a daft decision to fire him - but it was the "new owner syndrome". surprised nobody jumped in for him post his departure. think he is better suited to your club than howe was.

Other issue only briefly touched on is the state of both clubs finances and make no mistake Burnley's are not great but Rovers are getting close to meltdown.

Just watch over the next few months as the noose tightens.
Robinson keeping Rovers in the game that's what goalkeepers are supposed to do I think,
the POINT is you did not win the game
you had your chance even with charlie Austin and still couldn't beat a below par
Blackburn rovers team
and if as you say Blackburn rovers ,finances
are getting close to meltdown there are people who will buy the club from venkys

Blackburn Rovers are finished as a top-flight football club. The premier league days are over. An adjustment to life in the 2nd tier is now needed along with the realisation that Uncle Jack is but a dim and distant memory. I predict a mid-table finish for Rovers this season. In fact I would go as far as saying that if Rovers do manage to make it into the play-off's come the end of the season I will gladly go down on Madam Desai. I am that confident.

All the banter aside the clarets were the better side over the game, and we have to give Berg at least 2 seasons to turn it around and get rid of the deadwood that the bald one brought in, the rovers for me are stagnent and not going anywhere whilst we have venkys in charge of this club, intresting window coming up in 4 weeks, will they or won;t they spend, also any manager worth is salt would bring in his own BACROOM STAFF but no; berg is saddled with a guy Hendry who was out of the game for years as unemployable and the venkys right hand man Singh , he pulls the strings at ewood, also get a chairman please because the guy we got now is another no hoper from Preston who also likes the sound of his own voice, until these guys have gone it is gonna be mid table.

I take no pleasure in my comments about the finances of Bolton, Blackburn and yes Burnley. Obviously upset a few as outlined above but realistically for how long will the Venkys support Blackburn when the losses further increase?

p.s. good to see a Blackburn fan talking common sense on this site.
