Let’s be honest.It would just be really nice to see the back of Gibson. Overhyped as a player , and in retrospect as a good character .A man in love with Teeside And in the little we have seen, not fit to lace Ben Mees boots Someone do us a favour and get the waster off the payroll. You can questio...

Worrying times for football I think, even at our level. The longer it goes on behind closed doors I think more and more people will get out of the habit of going, or realise they don't actually miss it that much, or start going to watch their local non league team instead.

Tindall has never struck me as having much about him tbh, always comes across as a bit of a yes man. I predict he'll be a disaster as manager.

jrgbfc

If Pope were to leave I'd like to think we'd be looking at Ramsdale.

jrgbfc

Still got 2 years left on his deal. Sounds like he's made it clear unless someone matches his wage he'll sit his contract out and play golf in the sun for another 2 years

jrgbfc

Hard to see how Delofeu would fit in under Dyche. I may be wrong but he's always come across as a bit of a fancy Dan who plays when he feels like it. The Deeney link is a bit more realistic unfortunately.

jrgbfc

With us due to tour India this winter I'd say it would make more sense to be picking Ben Foakes, certainly down there. You definetely want your best wicket keeper standing up to the spinners.

jrgbfc

Is it worth sticking with Buttler for the odd 50 or 60 with the bat when Foakes is a far superior wicketkeeper? If Buttler was scoring big runs you could see the thinking behind it.

jrgbfc

Could we not extend his contract to prevent him being a "dimishing assett", unlike the Hendrick situation Only if he was willing to sign one. Which I'm not sure he would, realistically if he wants to further his career he needs to move on in the next year or so. He's coming into his prime and this ...

Should be a decent series this. Pakistan certainly look a level up from the Windies.

jrgbfc

Yeah I noticed Onions wasn't playing. Maybe they've decided to use these games to give some youngsters a chance, seeing as there's no risk of relegation?

jrgbfc

They play that much 20/20 cricket these days that target was always very gettable for Leicestershire. Having said that Lancashires team looked pretty weak, though I'm guessing Livingston, Parkinson and Mahmood will be able to play in the next game now the ODI's are over?

jrgbfc

Chelsea's season will be over soon enough anyway.

jrgbfc

Looking like Lancashire are relying on Vilas again to get them out of a bit of a hole.

jrgbfc

Personally I think lots of people will holiday in the UK this summer and realise what a pain in the neck airports and flying generally are.

There's a simple test for Eddie Howe's time at Burnley which some people want to deny - if it was the total mess people think, we wouldn't have been in the Premier League within a season and a half. As good as Dyche is / was, he wouldn't have been able to achieve it without the base of players he i...

Colne chased down the 80 odd they needed pretty comfortably in the end, only 4 wickets down. Bacup looked to have a really young bowler who showed a bit of promise though. Anyone know who he is?

jrgbfc

Wonder how much Clitheroe are paying Cole Hayman to tempt him from Burnley?

jrgbfc

Personally I thought the whole point of resigning Bardsley was so we didn't have to worry about right back for another 12 months? With money being tight I can't see the logic in us carrying 3 right backs in the squad, all on decent money.

jrgbfc

Not sure where all the bitterness towards Eddie Howe comes from? If he wouldn't have signed the likes of Trippier and Ings then I don't think we'd be where we are now.

jrgbfc

I sure hope the TV coverage is gonna be the same. Because I don't think we'll be seeing the Turf first hand till the season after. I know the plan is for limited access to grounds, but the way things are panning out generally, (and going backwards, if anything) I don't see us attending games for a ...

jrgbfc

Yep some things never change 171-4 at tea, good partnership this and badly needed by Lancs, should be able to get to 300 from here, and with the new look bowling attack who knows how they'll perform, they'll be a lot pf pressure on Tom Bailey to lead from the front, i have TBH i don't know any of t...

Looks like Lancashire carrying on from last season relying on Vilas to rescue the batting again.

jrgbfc

As far as I'm aware, the Snooker World Championships are the first to be trialing this over the next 17 days. The capacity is 980 and they have 300 in today. If successful, I'm sure they'll move the planning over to football and hopefully have close to 1/3 of fans in. Bit different with a snooker c...

In theory you could still go to a pub or restaurant with your own household? Or stay outside in the beer garden? I'm hoping most of them will stay open.

jrgbfc

Don't agree. He would have much less to do and have many more options on who to pass to. Maybe, but he'd also have to defend high up the pitch with no cover, and be expected to play out from the back under pressure. Would be interesting to see how he'd get on at a bigger club. Personally I think we...

jrgbfc

Most fans go to matches with their mates / friends. What sort of atmosphere will there be if you're on your own 4 or 5 metres from anyone else? The matches will be soulless. That's not what football is about at all. How will clubs choose, who can go and who can't? What happens to season ticket hold...

Trouble is, Guardiola can't spot a good defender.

Stones, Mendy, walker etc.

Defending is a lot easier though if you sit deep with 8 men behind the ball. I'd wager if you put Tarkowski into Citys defence he wouldn't look the same commanding figure he does playing for us.

jrgbfc

The way Guardiola wants to play requires having centre backs who are mobile and can get the ball under pressure and play out from the back. Do people honestly think he wouldn't come in for Tarkowski if he thought he was capable of doing a job for City?

jrgbfc

I'd guess the average is about 40 grand a week now, with maybe a few on 45-50.

jrgbfc

We had 12 points from 19 games last season and that was without getting any further in Europe. The club who had 12 points after 19 games this season ended up relegated, in fact, one who had 20 points also went down. The season before the two bottom teams after 19 games had 13 and 14 points respecti...

Oliver Skipp on loan from spurs.

@standardsport

Dyche is never going to drop Cork or Westwood for a loan player so would be a waste of everyone's time. He may as well stay at Spurs and get to play in the Europa league.

How didn’t we put up a fight, out of curiosity?

By playing a weakened team out in Athens?

Yeah those poor Tories having to answer a few questions. Those doctors and nurses working on the frontline have no idea how easy they've had it.

jrgbfc

For a Southern lad the prospect of playing for Chelsea is probably quite appealing. He'd also earn more money, get to play in the Champions league and improve his chances of playing for England. Doesn't mean we should be selling him on the cheap though, especially with his contract situation. 40 mil...

jrgbfc

I'm sure they've said it's back to normal next season. So if its behind closed doors and not on TV it's tough luck. Don't think Sky and BT were too keen on paying a fortune for the TV rights and them basically being worthless.

jrgbfc

I definetely wouldn't be rushing to offer him another contract yet. Next season is make or break for his career at Burnley I think.

jrgbfc

I wouldn’t be so sure but they do need to act quickly. Say we offered him an extra £20k per week for a 2 year extension. From next season, he’d earn an extra £80k a month for doing the same job. I’d take that - it’s an extra £1m per year, hard to turn down. Plus he protects himself/his family from ...

Due to Deeney’s age I would rather us sign Mitrovic if Fulham don’t go up he is only 26 in September and I suspect he is on a similar wage as Deeney at present.

Think it's safe to say Mitrovic would be out of our reach financially.

jrgbfc

The big one for me is Tarkowski. Personally I'd be amazed if he signed a new deal with us. Which means next summer we need to be thinking about cashing in to avoid losing him for nothing.

jrgbfc

If Cork is fit for our first game of next season he's nailed on to start.

jrgbfc

Is the Palace job that appealing? They'll pay higher wages than us but Hodgson hasn't exactly had money to spend. Big rebuilding job as well, their squads even older than ours.

jrgbfc

I wouldn't be surprised if Pep ended up back at Barca. It's a tough job at the moment though, the whole club seems to be in a bit of a mess.

jrgbfc

I caught some of it, will try and catch the rest on iplayer sometime. One thing that stood out was the training pitches England were using at that time, just looked like a random local park, Sunday league style pitches

A million miles away from what players enjoy these days.

jrgbfc

That Lincoln game was shocking. A premier league side should be good enough to outfootball a conference team on their home pitch. We still struggle when the onus is on us to break a team down and create something.

jrgbfc

In an ideal world there's have been no international travel this summer. Unfortunately lots of countries rely heavily on tourism so they've had to open up for economic reasons. With that comes the increased risk of the virus spreading again. Personally there's no way I'd be bothered with the hassle ...

jrgbfc

Was crying out for him to be on sooner at Norwich last week.

jrgbfc

Think Brentford peaked a bit too early. Fancy Cardiff now, going into the games on a bit of a roll.

jrgbfc

Tarkowski has been in previous squads. Maybe Southgate has looked at him and doesn't fancy him?
