further more another example of our young people, these should not see daylight this summer, just my opinion of course: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lancashire-52219080 People need to stop with the "young people" bashing. These are men. IMO most of the people I have seen flaunting the rules ...

Which player has scored the most goals against us?
(I don't know the answer, just interested)

Conroy92

Nicky Butt? United and Newcastle links?

I have heard one or two people say "I won't shake hands ever again..." Some people will not just revert back and this will change there lives, Probabaly the same people who are avoiding corona beer. The rest of us will go back to normality and continue with good hygiene as we have always done or not...

Those big one hand saves are fantastic. The one against Everton is reminiscent of Heaton against Zlatan. Both unbelievable saves.

Henderson
Walker VVD Tarkowski Digne
Neves Kante
Son Fernández Grealish
Aubameyang

Yes excellent news. I suppose you could say we have what Villa are missing at present. An absolute bargain and it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't receive an England call up anytime soon.

As much as I love Westwood, I would be suprised if he got called up.

All 3 players were wonderkids on last year's Football Manager. Makes you wonder where some teams are scouting from! ;) Could all be pants but in the last 2-3 years a lot of "wonder kids" from the game have actually started hitting there stride. Tielmans, Emre Can, Goretzka, Jesus... Even Ziyech were...

Hi Conroy, so we sign a player for £20m - let's say it's a 4 year contract - and we assume wages are the same as the wages for the outgoing player - then net £5m is charged to accounts for the season. Where is the rest of the loss coming from? And, let's take it in financial terms, we sign a player...

Conroy92

I don't see how you can come to that conclusion, we are extremely well run. To keep a club the size of Burnley in the Premier League is a minor miracle. To achieve it without creating debt is equally miraculous. NOBODY has to work within the limits of our budget. NOBODY has achieved anywhere near a...

UTC If players go then the slots need filling. I think we should look to replace squad players with first team players. Your current first team players then become squad players. That's how you improve. [/quote] That would prove very expensive so won’t happen. A couple of starters and a couple for ...

Conroy92

I have a great idea. With all the experts on transfer dealing on this board, why don't we offer Mr Garlick the benefit of our experience. We could elect a committee to represent the intelligence on here and to replace Mr Rigg. If it works well we could replace Dyche as well. Seems to me to be the o...

Can you honestly believe we will sign 5 first team players in the summer window? You have named 7 to go there, which I don't disagree with btw, but there's no way we can rebuild all that over one window. Signing another now gives us a chance. [/quote] Of MACCA's 7 names, Hart, Vydra and Gibson have...

Conroy92

Luckily theres a few out of contract this summer so we can have a bit of a clear out. Hart, Bardsley, Hendrick, Lennon and Brady? Along with Gibson and Vydra probably going as well. Gonna be a massive summer for us. Can you honestly believe we will sign 5 first team players in the summer window? Yo...

I've been assuming that our business this window has now been concluded (at least in terms of incomings). But you never know. Actually, I was having a think last night about our RB position. Assuming we're signing a new RB this summer, who would everyone want to stay to compete for the spot? Lowton...

Conroy92

We don’t ‘need’ a wide man. We have McNeill, Hendrick, Lennon, Brady and JBG. It would be nice and I’m sure that position will be on our shopping list in summer but we don’t need to sign someone in that position today. Looking at that list of names I'd disagree. McNeil and Hendrick are the only 2 w...

Wonder if CT has any more articles on standby?

Conroy92

I have!

Conroy92

It wasn’t constructive questioning though was it? Quite a few on here happily want him gone then of course there are the apparent ‘many’ who won’t be renewing season tickets next season due to Dyche that we keep being told about. Sometimes in life you need a bit of bottle and to stick with the the ...

Where's the best place for a pint and some food before the game please chaps?!

I'm not sure the 'negative posters' were being that negative at all. If someone wants to point out that for a few games we have been sh!te that is their right to do so. I could have been accused of being one of those but my criticism has been, for the most part, constructive and I have never called...

I would take the captains armband from him and give it someone like Cork in an aid to galvanise him also. Two birds one stone. Easy this managing malark

Conroy92

I must admit I thought the officials were poor today. No consistency in decisions given. In today's game the refs shouldn't be blowing for the above incident, VAR can make that decision without penalising any teams. Again, more examples of how we are using the technology badly rather than the techno...

Did I miss something today. I'm sure Wood kicked the ball for his goal, not headed it as said above. (sorry if wrong Billyblah)

You are quite right. Im also not sure who "O'Neil" is. Guessing he means Dwight!

I have a cunning plan. What we need to do is float the ball really slowly towards Wood more. That ought to work, they won’t see that coming.

This.

Conroy92

As a long time poster on here and clarets mad, I have finally worked up the courage to ask, who actually is madge?!?

Conroy92

Think the second half will be closer, the goal gave them a bit of confidence. Good first half all in all! Wish there were a few young lads on the bench to blood! Hope Vydra gets the second half and we rest Wood.

Conroy92

Why is it as ‘good as it gets’? We’ve created a platform for growth, to sustain and continue to progress this the business needs to invest into its playing product and diversify its offer into new markets. It’s a simple business plan, but one that’s made very easy by being able to predict your inco...

I dont understand this "we've had 4 years in the prem" nonsense? I want my club to fight to be the best and try and stay in the prem. Too many are happy to go down with a whimper! And i dont mean bet the ranch to stay up but we need to invest in quality playing staff from time to time! Unfortunately...

Conroy92

Erm, exactly that. It was the last roll of the dice because as you pointed out our £10-15m striker wasn’t on the bench, which would have made him a little difficult to introduce. True, Drinkwater won the premier league. So did Hart. This is the here and now, Dyche clearly doesn’t fancy Drinkwater a...

Conroy92

How can Kevin Long be the last roll of the dice up top when we have a 10-15mill pound striker not even making the bench and a player with a league title against his name not getting any game time! Give your head a wobble man!

Conroy92

Am I right in thinking we were linked with the Everton lad before too?

Conroy92

Should be sacked to be honest. P*** poor at any level.

Chris Wood is the best striker of headed goals in Europe For the older fans he reminds me of Andy Lochead Like Chris not always appreciated by fans but excellent in the air Chris does the dirty stuff well and could have scored again given more composure Danny is doing well but I'd take Chris everyt...

Stoke is a good example of my fears, ageing squad, one dimensional, walking into a lower league, that ageing squad led them to struggle in the championship. This could equally be our fate, double edged sword. But... I am still Dyche in for now.

Conroy92

I am still uncertain as to it being time up or not but I do not understand this belief that we should keep Dyche to get us out of the championship. A relegation spells the departure or our last bits of quality, the championship gets harder each year and we have an ageing squad. I am not sure where t...

Brighton score goal of the decade. Overhead kick!

Abject performance so far.

Conroy92

Against Everton, it was not the worst performance of the year or the worst we have played. It was bad, but I think peoples stances are starting to change more to do with the continuation of this football style rather than the peaks and troughs of it. We used to mix up play so much more than currentl...

Kevin Long up top... When we have Vydra on the bench who can play football. Bizarre.

Conroy92

Pretty sure Ward had a similar stat when we were relegated from the prem and we were wondering why he wasn't starting too? Might be wrong, seems like eons ago! There is no doubting Taylor is the better out of him and Pieters and still developing. With the likes of Shaw, Rose all having injury proble...

Conroy92

A player that flatters to deceive. Everyone wants a player like this, until they play for you and produce very little in terms of end product.

Conroy92

Was that part of the game plan though? Stay strong, reduce the chances of turnovers and get to half time. Then turn the screw in the second half? We are not going to outplay many teams for 90mins at this level. I actually feel we've been back to our best in terms of mixing the play. Largely helped b...

Conroy92

It means very little but over the past 3 or 4 years he's always been a very good player in football manager, maybe this is what CT meant when he said we had invested in our recruitment team, pre order of FM20?
