Tough night with so many injuries.
Didn’t help that Dwight was so off colour.

Cubanclaret

It wouldn’t take much for another club to step in and scupper this. Leeds type. Hopefully not though.

I'd imagine that Sean Dyche will be very excited by the prospect of ALK buying the club - even though he lost his first job when new owners very quickly told him he wasn't needed going forward. Dyche has got 8 years of managing Burnley and he's achieved a great deal of success within the context of...

Cubanclaret

I wondered that if this takeover was going ahead at what stage would ALK sit down to talk to Sean. If Mike Garlick wanted to ensure the club was moving to save hands wouldn't he want Sean's opinion on them and wether he could work with them. I know Sean doesn't have a stake in the club but because ...

Dawson gives us extra cover at Right Back too - both Bardsley and Lowton are out of contract at the end of this season. I think it would be a good time to get him in, strikes me as the type who could play into his mid-30s. Also means if Tarks still wants away at Christmas we might have enough depth ...

Scored an excellent long ranger for Bristol City against Cardiff too.
The ref was v poor tonight. Romeo should have seen red and Vydra was taken out on the edge of the box and was given nowt. He missed a few others too.

Cubanclaret

It would be nice to have a player who can score a free kick. I remember watching him play for Derby in the play off final against Villa (live), thought he stood out, neat and tidy on the ball, played as an inverted winger.

People can't truly believe in their community 'aspirations', can they? I mean, come on. Don't roll over for money making f.uckers so easily. Have a bit more self respect than that. Receive their money if you will, but don't be so gullible as to believe they actually give a pi$$ about the place. Cou...

I think Stephens, if he signs, will be a popular acquisition and the fans will like him. How about Harry Wilson from Liverpool on loan to solve the right wing berth. He ain’t going to get any action at Anfield. Decent local loan and a guarantee of first team football, at least for the time being. A...

Some good examples of feeling let down here. I remember singing the name of Chalkie White without even knowing who he was! I went down to Crewe as a 13 year old lad. By memory I think my brothers convinced my Dad to drive down. I cried all the way home. Felt like doomsday, but we lived to fight anot...

Cubanclaret

Definitely a few doing Stephens a disservice on here. He's actually a very good technical player; accurate passer and combative. Look at what Joey Barton did for us in his later years. We shouldn't lose sight of what we are - the identity of the club and the team - Stephens is 31, not 34. Both Westw...

Amazed he hasn’t scored since 2013

SD has said that there is nothing close, would seem at odds with this. Can’t see Sean being the one to break the news though with things being how they are to be honest. While solid pros might not have resale value, at the minute we’re firefighting....until Covid passes and the club has more assura...

Brighton forum are just discussing stephens who according to a few of them will be a burnley player this time tomorrow! I would laugh if we brought in Stephens and Dawson this window. At least they are Dyche friendly signings. Always been modestly impressed by Stephens. Brighton have definitely out...

That’s a pretty classic Dyche interview.

As a mate texted me earlier: ‘as long as Dyche is here we’ll still keep digging out results.’

Cubanclaret

Sick to the pit of my stomach about JBG.
Turned down Iceland to focus on being fit for us and seemed like he was in a good place.
Such a shame.

Commentary on talksport 2 - they described Robinson’s challenge on JBG as a ‘terrible tackle’

It’s a sad state of affairs when you genuinely don’t see any advantage in winning a cup tie.
Who wants to go midweek to Millwall with 13 players?

I recall that Peter Zelem had his kit sponsored by the band 'The Macc Lads' in the matchday programme.

You would think that these 2 need to stay in for at least another 15 overs to have the chance of posting a decent total

100 runs from 112 balls between these two - just what was needed - still 14 overs left. Looking like another intriguing clash brewing

Wicket for spinner in first over. Knows his stuff.

Warne's brilliant fun in the commentary box. Always 'on the money' as Nasser likes to say.

Cubanclaret

Whether Garlick is up for selling or not, does the spectre of relegation not seriously undermine the share value that the directors hold. Do we not have enough confidence in the high value of the likes of Tarks, Pope and McNeil to justify squad strengthening to the tune of £20m this window - therefo...

Warney's funny. Already calling for the spinner !!

Cubanclaret

It's something I suppose - the EFL must be going through hell losing their gate receipts.
Will help these clubs get their ops sorted and be ready to phase up the numbers when the time comes.

Quite a recovery, for the first time this summer, Josh Hazlewood seems to have lost his line a bit.

Cubanclaret

Wow, that's pretty harsh on Curran. Surely the unluckiest of England cricketers at the current time.

Cubanclaret

Hopefully the chairman has reassured the manager that they will not let him go for less than £50m and Dyche believes there is also little likelihood of anyone reaching that level of bid. Reading around Tarkowski's story (especially the excellent feature on him in The Athletic) I think he's desperate...

Broncos fan. Soft spot for Bears too.
Von miller’s pre season injury will be extremely costly For
Denver. Expecting Drew Lock to establish himself as a leading QB. Chiefs looked ominous in opening match.

Cubanclaret

He’s had a very decent match. Goal, assist and involved throughout the hour or so I’ve watched.

According to BBC gossip West Ham have been priced out and won’t come back with another bid.
Well done Burnley if that’s the case.

I note that Bielsa has only signed a one year contract at Leeds. They might be looking for a successor once he’s kept them up a year.

I think there is a negative impact of our current strategy in that we’re perhaps not seen as a progressive club going places, not only to potential new recruits but also our own leading players. A combination of Dyche’s inferred criticism of the Board late last season, running with the smallest squa...

Yes still moving forward, still no formal timeframe.

If this is true you’d have thought the Burnley FC board would move hell and high water to preserve the Star quality of the current squad. Keep stock / potential as high as possible and don’t sell any Crown Jewels.

Cubanclaret

A few outlets suggesting it’s just a matter of price between clubs with Tarks to West Ham. Is the perceived wisdom that his move north to be closer to family is a no longer an issue. West Ham appear quite directionless at the minute. Not sure playing well for them would improve his England chances. ...

Danny Ings never played for England as a Burnley player. He was Championship player of the year then shone throughout an entire PL campaign for us without getting a game. He then signed for Liverpool, made a couple of sub appearances and promptly got picked to play for England. This fact reinforces...

Villa Palace Fulham (We are living on a knife edge at the minute and i just hope we can pull the odd rabbit out of hat). A bad start for Palace and Dyche could rock up there by Christmas) **Surprised to see Brighton mentioned so much. Made some canny signings, have a Ben White back, and their manage...

With respect, Nixon’s words here succinctly nails our situation to a tee. They could have been uttered by many a contributor of this Board, but we look to him and others in the journalism world to bring us something we don’t know....rather than something we do. The thing about pay is bang on. At few...

Has to rank as the best sporting feat I have ever witnessed (albeit from my front room). I recommend the Amazon series ‘The Test’ To any cricket fan if you’ve not seen it. It’s a fly-on-the-wall doc charting Australia’s renaissance after the sandpaper scandal and Justin Langer taking over the reins....

Needed a shake-up to be fair. All those guys found wanting, kept going by Jeff Stelling who my 10 year-old calls : "the man who knows everything". Cricket wise Beefy had all but gone also, often felt he offered precious little insight for such a magnificent ex-player (too much red wine?) - all the A...

They should just bin the proms altogether. Get Match of the Day on earlier.

I do think Nixon is dismissive of Burnley. Think he’s always been grumpy with us since the Coyle episode. If Worrall, at 23, with a couple of full championship seasons and England youth pedigree, isn’t worth as much as £10m, then you’d wonder whether he’d be good enough to be a future regular in the...

Chris Wood talks for first time about Lazio interest.

Kieran Trippier at Ewood in the 2-1 win was pretty spectacular- especially given the context of the game. Glen Little away at Birmingham in a 3-2 midweek win also springs to mind as a player who was unplayable. I took a couple of non supporting Burnley fans to that match and they were enraptured. Bl...

Leeds look like they might be taking a little bit of a scattergun approach to signings. They certainly seem to have money to spend - up to £25m for Ben White now.
Harry Wilson been told he can leave Liverpool too. Not sure how good he is week in week out, but can obvs look after a free kick.

Cubanclaret

There's no smoke without fire.

I wonder whether Wood has his agency eyeing up a move, or eyeing up improved terms after a fruitful season. His agency sell themselves of having a "Commitment to Honesty' -surely an oxymoron for a sports agency.

Wood might fancy the move though. Champions League football.
