00:00I've just finished here at Turf Moor where it's finished Burnley 0 Preston Loughhead 0
00:07and I feel like I'm repeating myself because it's a similar story for Burnley
00:12really lacking any threat, cutting edge
00:17to be honest in the first half they were lucky, fortunately it remained goal as Preston had the better chances
00:222 or 3 good openings, just couldn't finish those chances
00:26the second half by comparison was a bit of a non-event really
00:29it was more dominated by some weaker fishing from the referee
00:33really stopped the flow of the game
00:362 or 3 times it threatened to boil over because he failed to take control of the game
00:43and in the end it fizzled out on either side, it looked like it was scoring
00:48but yeah, bit of a strange story for Burnley where they're 2nd in the league, unbeaten in 6
00:53yet they don't really look like they're scoring many goals
00:56I think that's 5 in 7 now, it's pretty clear where their issues lie
01:00defensively not conceding many at all, I think that's the third clean sheet in a row
01:04so it's pretty obvious what the story is
01:07but yeah, Burnley have got to be offering a lot, lot more
01:11especially in attack where they're looking really light at the moment
01:15ahead of international break now, they've only got 2 weeks off before they return
