PolicyDrift'Encouraging signs' - Burnley fans react to West Ham draw

[Getty Images] Burnley fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with West Ham United on their return to the Championship on Sunday. Zian Flemming scored two late goals - including a 92nd-minute.

[Getty Images] Burnley fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with West Ham United on their return to the Championship on Sunday. Zian Flemming scored two late goals - including a 92nd-minute equaliser to earn the Clarets a point. Burnley fans have been having their say on the result and here is a selection of their thoughts: Pete - A really encouraging start albeit the defensive frailties of last season are still evident. Otherwise, forward passing and movement much, much better already. It will only get better as the players get used to Hayen's system. It does depend who is left and who arrives by 1 September but the signs are good - UTC! Gav - We need to sort our defence out, cheap goals again but we looked a lot more fluent going forward. Better than the sideways and backwards approach of last season. Thomas - My hopes were high starting the season. After this exciting match against West Ham they are sky high. Ian - Far better spirit and determination from the midfield and forwards. Some players were obviously fired up by the manager at half time, which was good to see. Still lacking a 'get to the ball at all costs' defender. A tall centre back would give us presence in both boxes. Dickie - It takes a lot to fight back from 2-0 down particularly in this division. Encouraging signs from the Clarets. [Getty Images] Shaun - I thought overall it was a decent performance, the fact we didn't lose is massive in the grand scheme of things. Even this early a loss and our fans would have been baying for blood again but that recovery is massive. Shayne - First game and we've come out of it with a draw against the favourites. We have lots of areas to improve, excited for Hayden and the squad for the season. Tim - Better than a lot of performances last year and with more luck we could have won it. Defence is still weak but hopefully will improve. Joe - Thought Burnley were on top throughout, especially in the second half. Clarets seem to have been underestimated by many so far. Richard - We played with greater intensity and belief than at any time under Scott Parker. Although it's early days with our new manager, the performance was very encouraging. Need to hang on to Walker and Flemming though.
