To be more interested in Rovers losing than in Burnley winning is ludicrous!

He sounds like a glory supporter to me....

Either that, or he is a secret Leeds fan infiltrating our message board?

Maybe JJ Watt is ALKs exit at some point in the future?

clarethomer

I have seen them providing instructions on what to do on X but I just listened on apple podcasts instead this week.

Was another good episode

Looks like a wing back more than a right back.

clarethomer

I'd say Vitinho is a right mid who does his very best when played at right back. Possibly he'd fit as a right wing-back. I think he is classed as a right back but I think he has played pretty much every position on the wings for us at some point. I have also seen him called a right wing back also t...

clarethomer

Sorry, I wasn't getting what you meant, you mean that Vitinho isn't classed as a RB but Assignon and Roberts are?

Not doing at all badly, but I'd take Assignon and even Roberts to be ahead of him as specialised RBs
I'd hope that we sell Roberts and have Assignon and Sambo as RBs next season.
Vitinho will be a regular in the 1st team squad next season, at RM.

whats a specialised right back?

clarethomer

Depends on your view of the world I guess. He could for example have had a massive hissy fit and had a falling out with everyone and him being ill is the cover story. Or he could just be ill. You can read into it however you want but not sure what benefit reading beyond the way it has been explained...

clarethomer

Which one of you is this guy?

Had a solid game.

He is the fullback you want when the pressure is on at the back.

Not so sure our fullbacks will be up the wings, that often.

That’s the balance VK has to manage.

Point is no less valid though.

Come on Burnley- let’s dig in

clarethomer

He has been caught out because he has had little or no support from the wide left midfielders It's a team game not just an individual https://youtu.be/7Hosa5xQfrA?si=HPqn2I6qK1KOVgs2&t=42 - case in point. Can't get back quickly enough - miles off the pace when countered. Love Taylor as a player but...

clarethomer

Taylor has been superb this season at times and very much deserved of his place.

However he has been caught out so many times and he has looked knackered at times and his lack of pace has really been his downfall.

clarethomer

Maupay?? When he moved there - he wasn't there I don't think so not sure of the relevance, however who knows what Maupay is like off the field? Michael Duff on an interview has said that there was (Barton I think) a player who came in and tried a few things that wasn't inline with the dressing room...

clarethomer

I remember Ben Mee being on a video when he was signed by them and the one thing he said is that he liked about his move and was a deciding factror was the fact that they had a similar rule to Burnley in that they didn't want players who were D*** Heads. They are a community club surrounded by many ...

There it is......agenda
Pointing out the obvious is now an agenda, not the fact we're bottom

What else can it be? We play tomorrow and if we draw or win, we won't be bottom.

Beggars belief.

clarethomer

Last season's team had a winning mentality and momentum, they showed heart and desire at times last season. We haven't seen that at all this season, I think last season's team would have more points now without a doubt because they'd have run through brick walls for VK. He's lost all that respect s...

clarethomer

So we're now bottom of the league with our flops, what has VK got his recruitment data based on? We had a great squad last season, wingers scoring goals, keeper keeping clean sheets, players in the team of the year, all had played for a winning title side yet we swapped them out because VK said the...

ST for JHU plus about £15-20 in the pub each home game. Lift in and home also so probably about £1 in electric. I bought a pie in the ground last game - thats the 2nd time I have bought something all season and that was only because of the kick off time and by the time I realised I would need to eat...

This season has been quite a disgrace in our vicinity. I’ve occupied my current seat for nearly two decades, and during this time, I’ve interacted with several people beyond the four others I attend with. I’ve grown accustomed to the guy who openly shares his opinions with the referee and players. L...

clarethomer

Sounds good in theory.. See the problem is the short-term in football massively impacts the long term; especially when players have been purchased with cash that the club has borrowed... At the end of the day - a business plan is theoretical based on forecasting so you are correct. From what I have...

clarethomer

No I don't think we are witnessing a failing experiment. What we are witnessing is the problems of short term impacts against the longer term goal. We have been what - 18 months into VK tenure. We have players like Koleosho, Odebert, Amdouni, Esteve, Bayer, Trafford, O Shea etc who are all very youn...

I was confused because a single picture without context can be interpreted in many ways. Having watched what had happened - I didn't see/pick up on the frame that was screenshot but having seen what had happened and knowing what a servant Josh has been to this club, I couldn't for one minute believe...

clarethomer

Always look forward to listening and no difference this time.

That question though about stopping players from playing who won't be here next year just makes me realise what simpletons some of our fans are to even think that.

clarethomer

Horrible day and season sums it up perfectly CT.

clarethomer

Potter being paid out by Chelsea. We would need to pay VK out too until he got a new job.

Never going to happen.

Personally I don't think we should be thinking about a new manager either but each to their own I guess.

clarethomer

Just listened- another good episode

clarethomer

Could be, just with McNally we never seemed likely to give him minutes even when in the Championship. You look at his experience - he played in an Irish league then Oxford UTD and then to us. I think we clearly saw potential for development. We had 4 other CB all of who I believe were either full i...

clarethomer

One of a collection of players whose signing to the club has not made much sense. Unless you genuinely expected to be 2-3 years in the championship when you were trying to rebuild a squad from the ground up then some do. We, as a club, have simply progressed probably quicker than expected out of th...

clarethomer

From what I understand, Potter is still getting a healthy pay check from Chelsea. I also understand that he had been doing some consultancy work which has meant that he can keep on earning some money on top of the salary that Chelsea continue to pay him. I would believe that this has now has complet...

clarethomer

We’ve wasted some money in the last 18 months. Like VKs team selection, his transfers are a lucky dip too. Just wanted to share a slightly different view from my perspective. When we bought Foster last year - how many fans thought we had wasted our money then? I was leaning to that way of thinking ...

clarethomer

Typically self made would indicate that they have created wealth themselves rather than inherited or won it through the lottery. Given that he worked a number of senior roles in some of the world’s biggest financial institutions at the time- I believe that term would be accurate. Don’t confuse how h...

According to the BBC today, 'Chelsea accepted a £31.5million bid from Burnley for Maatsen in the summer but he did not want to make the move' Im sure that was reported at the time. If you remember, a video emerged of him watching SSN saying he was still at home and going nowhere or something. It's ...

Last time we went we stayed in St Julians so another vote for this area. We stayed in the Marriot Westin Dragonara resort. Easy walk to lots of bars/restaurants and found plenty to keep us entertained. Haven't been this time of year though so sounds like we have a local on here but would highly reco...

Thought the light show seems to have been a good idea - the video is well crafted with a good message. I sensed that this has been a success when the natural "come on Burnley!" (repeated) chant that followed it from the crowd happened. Clearly an initiative that has gone down well. However that song...

Loved McNeil when he played for us but is it just me that thinks he has really stepped up a level in the last few months?

Yep he looks a far more mature/confident/experienced player who now has players around him which are probably a level above those he played with at Burnley.

Merry Christmas all.

First home win of the season - going to enjoy it so my apologies.

Good episode of what I have got through so far. Enjoyed the discussions but the key points for me were. - Settled team and its showing with improvements in performances. Best team performance in first 85 mins. - Trafford isn't showing to be any better than Muric (yet) and whilst had a decent game, t...

I blame the change in away points and loyalty scheme......

clarethomer

Wish they would get rid of it.

If it was meant to correct clear and obvious errors then it shouldn't be like it is. Need an automated offside system like goal line tech and I think that improves VAR ten fold.
