Ronnie's Burnley reaction

Need to anticipate!!
"I was disappointed with the tempo of the game, it wasnt good enough, we were on the back foot and thats not like a home side! We have to play at out tempo no matter who we're playing, be it Leicester be it Burnley. If we play at that tempo we can give anybody a game." Ronnie told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"I was disappointed with the first half, we improved a little bit but wasnt brilliant in the second half. I thought the last twenty minutes we had a go, but I'm disapointed that it took so long to do it.

Ronnie also wasnt overjoyed with the lack of goals, "We're defending reasonably well and we're looking solid that way, butwhen we get in good areas we're looking poor, and I'm not just blaming the strikers for that! Some of the service from Sedgy and Paul Shaw today wasnt good, so its not all down to the strikers." but the strikers didnt get away scott free, "It's hard to coach anticipation, theres one or two balls flying about in the box and we just dont see to be getting onto them."

Proctor, missed chance
"I was disappointed by our set plays the quality of them wasnt good, the ball in wasnt as good as it was on saturday. If we get that ball right then we have a chance, we should'nt be having to wait until set play's to score goals."

Commenting on the chance which fell for Michael Proctor from Swaz's flick on, Ronnie was somewhat wondering what if!... "The chance where Proc just misses it at the far post,if that were Mark Robins or John Aldridge thats a goal, thats what I mean about anticipation, we always seem to be on our heels and just missed it and dont get there. Thats a worry but all we can do is work on it because we cant get anybody on loan just yet but I'm looking to strengthen in that department."
