FULL TIME: Burnley 3 Sheffield Wednesday 3
9:44pm Tuesday 2nd October 2012 in Football
CHARLIE Austin's second hat trick of the season was not enough to give Burnley maximum points as they were pegged back three times by Sheffield Wednesday.
The Burnley hot shot has now bagged 14 goals this season but the hosts were left disappointed in a thrilling 3-3 draw with their Championship rivals.
Austin gave Burnley the lead in the 22nd minute as he headed home a cross from Kieran Trippier.
But Chris O’Grady levelled for the visitors a minute later as he converted a centre from Michail Antonio.
Austin netted his second of the game – heading in another Trippier cross - to make it 2-1 seven minutes before half time.
The Clarets were pegged back by O’Grady once more in the 64th minute, however, as the Owls striker capitalised on Michael Duff’s slip to round Lee Grant and score.
Burnley thought they had won it when Austin completed his treble with a fierce strike, after latching on to Dean Marney's long pass, with just minutes remaining.
But a minute later, Wednesday's Michail Antonio unleashed an unstoppable shot to level.
Burnley: Lee Grant, Kieran Trippier, Michael Duff (Kevin Long 89), David Edgar, Ben Mee, Ross Wallace, Brian Stock, Dean Marney, Junior Stanislas (Sam Vokes 90), Charlie Austin, Martin Paterson (Cameron Stewart 70). Subs not used: Brian Jensen, Luke O’Neill, Joseph Mills, Marvin Bartley.
Attendance: 12,122.

.......... Can't argue with your comment chap I'm In total agreement it.
Defending seems to be a dirty word with the clarets but It's not just this season it seems like every bloody season.
What happens when Austin hits a barron patch which strikers do at some point in a season or is injured coz the way we keep letting goals in were be in deep trouble especially as we don't have anyone else matching his goals .
Any news on the hotseat at your gaff?

Both are average championship sides at best and are teams we have to beat at home if we are to harbour ambitions of not keeping too close to the action at the wrong end of the table.
no problem whatsoever scoring looking forward to dane richard coming and ings coming back even more goals with them but defence was embarrassing need tightening up midfield dont help wallace needs chucking in a bin in burnleys fairness the last goal was a wonder goal unstoppable bt for me we shud hav lost and like milwall its a point gained not 2 lost UTMC
Conceded 5 in 2 home games against mediocre teams with poor recent records, time for improvements.
On a positive note, keep going Charlie, top efforts and a shame your team mates are letting you down.

The way everyone is driving a bus through it at the moment is inexcusable - and don't blame Shackell's absence, because he has also been part of some of the worst displays we've seen.
Get into the loan market and bring in a couple of solid centre backs, who can boss the area.
How many other teams are scoring as many goals as ourselves, but coming away with only draws.
4 points dropped in 2 home games against poor sides just isn't good enough.
Come on you Clarets !!!

The mighty rovers are being linked to footballing greats, for the vacant hot seat. Your lot will never have that level of interest, cos you're a small time club....
I rest my case
