And when we beat Spurs next week and Forest lose at home to Chelsea, we will only need to beat Forest in the final game. Then will the Premier League give Forest a point back to relegate us or will that happen before next weekend. My guess is that the Premier League will wait and see what the result...

If Leicester had won today, Rovers were relegated.

I think you might be right. Let's give him our total support. The same should also apply to our lads who today started well but imploded. Some were poor and some were worse than that, but they are all Burnley players and we need to just get behind them no matter what happens. We are all hurting afte...

I'm sure Wilder will 'encourage' his players to test the physical fitness of their opponents.
If they play it has to be a risk, and probably a greater risk, to start them on the bench.

Darnhill Claret

Apparently Willy Boly and Murillo both back in training and in contention for selection at the weekend.

Darnhill Claret

I'm hoping that if he does risk one or more that it backfires, and if he doesn't, that Sheff U reap the benefit of 3 key players missing.

Darnhill Claret

Neco Williams, Willy Boly and Murillo all went off injured against City. Neco Williams looked like a hamstring tweak or pull. Murillo looked like a twisted ankle or knee and Boly, I'm not sure. Will Nuno be tempted to start any of them or will he go for a fully fit starting 11 and bench? His decisio...

But he does have previous.

Forest had two significant injuries today.

Darnhill Claret

My thoughts are that if he wants to leave and we can get our money back or make a slight profit then we should allow him to go. First, he apparently wants to leave. Secondly, I think because of his tackle technique, I believe he will continue to be dogged by injuries. Thirdly, he may not make a comp...

Odobert lasted the whole game. His fitness levels and stamina now seem to be at the required level.

I personally felt that both Foster and Fofana ran hard and worked hard to pull Utd defenders out of position, but when they had chances their touch let them down. It happens, it's football. Luckily several United players had the same problem.

When we have played with just one up front, we haven't been getting enough bodies into the box often enough. Foster and Fofana both want to get into scoring positions, so our attacking shape is better. Also Odobert is improving in uus forward position and I think we look better balanced. Obviously b...

I expect Potter will be working on tactical plays, studying coaches and managers around the world, having had a break from football. I think that Chelsea might be a poisoned chalice for a little while longer yet. I am not expecting Mr Mourinho to have a trouble free time there. Potter has had great ...

Darnhill Claret

I think he will. Don't think people put as much store into a few bad results when the overall trend is a positive one. First season in Europe and injuries to key players, are quite important mitigating, contributory factors, to a club with a relatively small squad.

Darnhill Claret

The Premier League can now, I presume, charge Leicester and hopefully impose 'a sanction' to be in place early next season. Will be interesting to see what sanctions will be imposed due to changes afoot, or if the 'new sanctions' will come into force for charges dating after the new sanctions come i...

If they don't win the play-offs, they will lose players, quality players may take a lot of persuading to go there and they will have to pay over the odds to land their targets. I think on reputation VK outpoints Farke and we could still avoid relegation, however unlikely that seems right now.

Darnhill Claret

Said on the radio that he would go to Spurs as well, so don't worry about that.

A five year plan renews every 12 months, so don't worry about that either.

If and when, sorry when VK leaves, we well continue with the already established 5 Yr plan, ad infinitum.

Darnhill Claret

It's all about opinions and respecting the opinion of others even if you disagree.

Outfield players mistakes tend to be ignored if we don't concede as a result.

Keepers are often marked down for misplaced passes. Rarely the case for outfield players.

Safe journey to you all.

A girlfriend of mine was the bar manager there for a couple of months in 1989.

As all keepers are possibly 1 game away from a serious error that will cost their teams big time, it pains me to see any of our goalkeepers hammered for errors and opinions like 'neither are PL quality'. In that case no goalkeeper is PL quality.

Roxy in Darwen and Suttys off Livesey Branch Road.
I saw Slade at Uncle Tom's Cabin in Darwen if it was close to the market.

They all deserve a fresh start here, or a transfer that is mutually beneficial to both parties.

I think we may have forgotten that Vincent's wife apparently wanted to return to the north-west. Brighton couldn't be further away. I am also convinced until it's proven otherwise that he wants to build/rebuild a VK dynasty here to prove that a name can succeed at a small club and then succeed at a ...

Assignon does have a similar instinct to find an opportunity in another area of the pitch which VK's system allows, so Assignon and Maatsen are both likely to make a goalscoring play or assist where an 'old fashioned' full back might not. Trent also has this instinct, but does it in a more advanced ...

VAR has decided from the outset that clear and obvious does not apply to offside in the same way as goal-line technology. It has to be judged as offside or onside. They have not made any allowance for a desperately tight decision so there will always be dissenting voices. Even in horse racing camera...

I guess that might also be an example of how Keane as a manager didn't seem to have good personal relationships with his players, ultimately leading to his demise as a club manager. Perhaps Keane didn't lead from the front with his players right behind him. Maybe when he turned round to see where th...

Sorry I was replying to the post that said none of the three were penalties.

If I was a Luton fan I'd have wanted Everton v Forest to end as a draw, so for me VAR failed.

Not sure that it was calculated at all, more likely just an outpouring of immediate emotion, following a performance and result that currently increases our survival chances.

Darnhill Claret

Why would you advise a club that a points increase is unlikely. The options available should be clearly defined and able for a club to refer to. To state that a points increase is unlikely is almost encouraging a club to appeal.

Hi J. James, if you look at the post immediately preceding that post it is from the same poster, so I will confidently say that I am sure there was no disrespect intended. I would like to say that your dad was much respected and clearly loved by many. I'm also 71 so I have many great memories of you...

Doesn't matter where Maatsen lines up, he isn't a 'traditional' full back. The game is evolving continually and there is the four centre back, back fours and the let's try and get 11 footballers on the pitch. Maatsen fits into the latter group. It probably needs a combination of those two ideas alon...
