Now winless in seven - our worst run since the eight that Steve Bruce served up on his way out two years ago - the last thing Albion need at the moment is an encounter with a side we haven't beaten since August 2017, but all the same, 4th-place Burnley are rolling up to the Hawthorns tonight in search of consecutive league wins over us for the first time since August 2007. Keeping clean sheets at home hasn't been a problem for us so far this season, but alas, finding the net has been the issue: if we fail to score tonight, it'll be the first time since April 1939 we've gone goalless for four consecutive matches at the Hawthorns outside the top flight.

A visit to struggling Hull is next up on Sunday, and might be the friendlier prospect to get back to winning ways before another fortnight's break. But one way or another, the big result's got to come from somewhere, and the sooner the better.

This is the 8th game on the trot that has been absolute dross!!!! It’s just mistake after mistake after mistake. How we are still level god only knows. Please please please get Swift off now.

All over. 0-0. We can not buy a result at the moment. Four games at home without a goal. Third best defence in the league but a lack of goals could kill our season.

Only four teams have scored less than us and three of them are in the bottom four, Swansea are the only exception. The bottom five are at least on par with us.

I didn’t see the game but was following it on the BBC. Looking at the team before kick off, it seemed like most fans had got what they wanted in terms of selection- Fellows and Molumby in, Diangana on the bench. So, I suppose I’m asking whether this is a Corberan issue or is it underperforming players taking wrong options, playing misplaced passes, failing to get on the end of decent balls in the box and/or crap shooting? To have taken only 5 points out of the last 21 and still be 5th in the table maybe says more about the quality of the championship than it does about us.

I would call it a bore draw, but that's probably unfair on Burnley who came away from home and had a go.

Luckily for us, we managed to survive. 0-0 was the best we could hope for.

Special mention to the ref, who disallowed Burnley's perfectly good goal. Probably our best player on the night.

I just don't know where we go from here...

That game felt like we could've played all night and not scored. Not for the first time either.

The team selection feels like it's been picked out of a hat, with changes every week.

3 attacking midfielder who couldn't pick a pass between them.

A gap between the forward and midfield that was reminiscent of the Tony Pulis era. At least then we were playing against Man City and Liverpool, now we're doing it at home to Millwall and Burnley.

I don't want to call for Corberan's head after the excellent job he's done in the past 2 years, but what we're serving up now isn't good enough and it needs to improve fast.

2 goals in 7 league games at home. Not like we're creating and missing either. We're not creating a thing.

Clearly we're going nowhere so on that basis, I'd at least like to watch exciting football. There's nothing worse that mid table obscurity based on 0-0 draws.

Corberan needs to get back to basics and fast. He needs to select his best XI and stick with it, for 3-4 games, regardless of the results. He need to give players time gel and return to form.

He needs to figure out how to get Mikey Johnston back in the team and firing. In his cameo tonight, he looked more creative in his first 2 minutes than the rest of the team in the previous 65 minutes combined. Sadly when he's starting, it feels like he's trying too hard. Probably knowing that if he doesn't score, he'll be dropped for a couple of games again.

Had Leeds (or otherwise) poached Corberan in the summer I'd have been gutted. However, at this point in time, I couldn't care less. I feel like our current league position could be achieved by any half decent manager giving the size and quality of our squad. Sometimes in football you need a change and on this reckoning, that time isn't far off...

[Blue Baggie]

I'm not going to repeat myself.
Until we change how we play we are heading downwards. This only means one thing.
We were lucky tonight Burnley had a good goal disallowed.
As promotion is now gone, why aren't we giving the youth a run.
Everything around our squad is just wrong.

On reflection a point against probably the best side in the championship is not such a bad result. We're still top 5 we just need to conjure up a win. Carlos has to find a solution.

Slick, to me, your paragraph says it all:
"Clearly we're going nowhere so on that basis, I'd at least like to watch exciting football. There's nothing worse that mid table obscurity based on 0-0 draws."
Spot on

I am guessing this is not going to be very popular, but all things considered we are holding our own. Of course we are not attacking the way we would want the team to, but show me any team in the league that you could take out their three starting centre backs, leaving only one first choice centre-back in the entire squad which could? (I don't rank Holgate as 1st choice anymore). Players are not playing their normal game as they have to be keeping that extra eye behind them and that is the basis of many the mistakes and opportunities we are seeing. Do you think that player would have got passed Bartley for their non goal last night or Mowat would have made that mistake against Luton, if one of the normal defenders had been behind him? OK we still need to be scoring and some of these issues crept in before they were all out, but would they have lasted so long?
