Of course I think the gulf in talent matters. I had no expectations about taking points from Burnley with this squad. I think we'll receive the same treatment next Friday.

It's about more than just last night's showing. Too many of these players have repeatedly shown they struggle to execute the basics. They fold far too easily once we concede more than one. Burnley dont hand out thrashings and we flattered them.
I lost count of how many times a Wednesday stray pass went straight to a Burnley player. This happens every game.
Ball control, passing, movement, anticipation are at an academy level at times. The defending is comical. The finishing is severely bad. To continually be caught offside, especially from your own corner is dire..

I can see Coventry being a playoff dark horse.

Completely agree with that. Not arguing the lack of quality with some players and where we are is where we probably should be.

If Danny gave DC a list of targets then DC needed to get some in, but for whatever reason we didn't strengthen in the obvious positions in defence and to compound that we then lost Bernard for the rest of the season. Ihiekwe has done ok since coming in but he is a notch or two down from Bernard, Iorfa and Famewo, thankfully the latter two are back in training so hopefully we get them back soon. Not perfect, but better than what we have now.

The Japanese kid looked ok when he came on, put a couple of good crosses in.

Pierce Charles has the next 3 games not to pick up a yellow or he's suspended for 2 games which would obviously be a massive blow for the derby game ...will Danny chance him against Sunderland and if he gets a yellow he'll be back for the pig game ?

You mean Shea Charles I assume??

Assuming Preston don't come back from 2-0 down at Coventry, 13th is as low as we can end up today!!
