Watching only the highlights it appears to me that this wasn't much different from the Milwall game. Looks like we had to suffer wave after wave of Burnley attacks and were pretty much out everythinged most of the time in most areas. Burnley's finishing was poor which let us off to a large degree. Sacko's goal. if I'm not mistaken, went through the keeper's legs - goal's a goal, but perhaps some luck involved - great ball to him mind. Our penalty in normal time looked something between a very soft decision and no penalty at all. The shootout saw us shine but we should have been well buried long before that.
We got through and I'm pleased about that, but it doesn't bode well that we can be pinned back and outplayed / outmuscled so easily. Our great start to the season saw us doing that to our opponents. All teams seem to play a weakened line up in this competition so there's nothing in it there. Let's hope we can return to stamping our mark on games. Milwall and Burnley both had us chasing to try and adapt to what they were doing.
