Howe: I wish we could play again tomorrow
8:26am Monday 3rd September 2012 in Sport
By Suzanne Geldard, Burnley FC reporter
EDDIE Howe has demanded a reaction after three straight league defeats, but admits it is going to be a long two-week wait to get it.
Just four games into the new Championship season, the Clarets embarked on a fortnight break for internationals.
And Howe admitted it hurt to go into it on the back of a 3-1 home loss to Brighton, who previously had not registered an away goal since March.
Craig Mackail-Smith scored a deadly double either side of Gordon Greer’s equalising own goal, before Greer made amends by rounding off a first away win since February for Gus Poyet’s men.
Howe stressed the quality of Brighton’s first two goals offered no consolation, and is already looking for vast improvements on a largely lacklustre performance when his team take on Peterborough in the next league game a week on Saturday.
“I’ve said before we’ve got good, honest lads and they were hurt by (Saturday) as much as I was,” said the Burnley boss.
“We’ve got some good characters and that type of display will hurt a lot of the lads in there.
“I’m certainly going to look for a reaction.
“We’ve conceded from three set plays which is hugely frustrating from our perspective.
“We were on the wrong end of two great finishes but, still, we’ve got to stop them.
“The first one’s really disappointing because we ended up deep and it’s a good finish.
“But we should have dealt with that.
“The second one, it’s the second phase, we’re slow to get out and stop the cross.
“Really we shouldn’t concede an overhead kick in our box. It’s got to be our head on the end of it.
“When we equalised we were well in the game and had a couple of great chances to go 2-1 ahead.
“Ultimately we paid the price and it’s a poor defeat.
“The third one he (Greer) just pulled away and lost his man. It’s hugely disappointing.”
Of the international break, Howe added: “As always it seems to have come at a bad time for us.
“We lose a few players but that’s how it is.
“It’s a long two weeks from my perspective, I want to play tomorrow.
“That performance will live long in my memory now.
“We’ve got a break which we didn’t really want now, but we’ve got a game to look forward to against Peterborough.
“We have got to prepare right and make sure we put a performance on.”

1. Learn how to use a dictionary, since spelling correctly is obviously beyond you.
2.Have a few fingers amputated to get it down to single figures per hand. That way, you won't post ostensibly the same message four times.

It's obvious by its posting times that it's a stranger to gainful employment and as it's been disowned by the Grintwums, it comes on here to feel it has something to contribute.
Best thing you can do Keyster is to scuttle back to your sordid grief-hole and stop drawing attention to your inadequacies.

"Sordid grief hole?" What the hell makes you think I live in Burnley? By the way, are you using a Thesauras? To try and resemble a Dingle who has bribed themselves a GCSE? Only, your sentence structure seems a bit iggledy-piggledy. Then again, I suppose that´s only natural for a pig-boy like Chris!
To correct you; it's 'thesaurus' not 'Thesauras', 'higledy-piggledy' not 'iggledy-piggledy' and no space after an apostrophe as you've learned is required after a comma. Whereas your full stop after your erroneous use of 'Thesauras' (sic) which you didn't need to capitalise renders the next sentence unwieldy and makes no sense.
I should be charging for these basic English lessons!

4/10 for grammar, eh? Oh well, it´s better than your 0 out 10 for humour, and 0 out of 10 for looks (no doubt). Oh well, at least you score 12 out of 10 in the finger stakes.....DINGLE ;)
B) You've never been fortunate enough to lay eyes on me so to make something up and then pretend it's real is childish.
C) The fingers thing: see above
D) You may as well refer to me as a Chinky-Chinaman and hope that insults me. Since I'm not one, it's like water off a duck's back.
All anyone on a forum can go on with any hope of accuracy is what can be seen. What we can see here is that you couldn't get your name right (still haven't), your posting times show that you are a stranger to gainful employment and your grammar is poor.
Grow up. There's a good lad/lass.

I can't wait to see the smile falling off chicken rovers, you may be doing ok at the moment, (and you have been very close to defeat numerous times according to match reports) but there's a long way to go and you lot are jumping the gun, I'd rather lose at the beginning of the season than the end and come what may by then lads. We'll see eh.

(Hello Piggy Boy Spellcheck)
I know you keep lecturing this guy on his name, but he doesn't get at you for being male and shaving your legs. I know its each to their own and mincers and munchers deserve equal column space. But I feel that even mincers don't shave their legs, transgenders may do, I may have to ask around. One things for certain though, rough grammar and hairy legs seem more manly than perfect grammar and smooth legs. Next you'll be having your nails done and wearing lycra.

Should have read ´informal´. But don´t sweat it porky, I´ll correct that one for you ;)
He's not actually a Burnley fan, but spends an awful lot of time on these pages defending them, because, as we all know they are too simple minded to defend themselves.
Chris P is doing a community service defending Burnley fans, helping the less fortunate. Like volunteering to wipe backsides in a nursing home.
Good for him!
However, I do worry about him though, if you ask him to reveal what team he supports he throws a tizzy fit and chucks his toys out of the pram!
I think it's because he is too scared, embarrassed or ashamed, which is a pity for the poor mite.
Imagine being so scared that you couldn't bring yourself to name your team on a football forum, to other football fans! It must be horrible for him living like that. Bless.
At the end of the day, poor Chris P deserves our support.
Maybe one day he'll overcome his fear.
Let's hope so.

(Wheres the parachute)
Yer doomed, lots of pointing fingers and the cash just vanished.
Highlight of this season for you guys will be your two cup finals against Rovers.
On the article we wish you could play tomorrow as well, drive another nail in the lid.
