I said so many times that not all Defour's issues were physical. The fact he has played weeks ahead of where he was supposed to be with Burnley just supports this. The bloke was a fraud and a wage thief. Sadly some people believe him to be the best player since McIlroy. Good fecking riddance to his...

I saw an interview with Botham earlier this year when he said he was considering cutting down on his TV work but didn't know they'd axed him along with Gower. On a personal note I'm not too bothered with Gower going but it's who they bring in to replace them. I get the feeling Hussain or Atherton h...

Gower and Botham will be missed hugely on SkySports cricket coverage. Didn't realise Botham was going as well. Can definitely tell with Gower that it wasn't his choice to finish. Might get a job with the BBC, they've got the rights to some cricket from next summer, mainly highlights but better than...

Not seen anything posted to say 1) he has had an offer of a new contract or 2) he has turned a new offer down. Has anyone else? Nothing official, I just get the feeling Dyche would rather keep him and that we wouldn't let him get into the last 12 months of his deal without offering him anything. We...

I reckon it's likely we'll have offered him something but he's chosen to run it down. Can't say I blame him really, since his first season he's never been given a proper run in his favoured position.

jrgbfc

Fair play to Wade he's battled well here. A few of the Aussies have looked ready for home this week tbh.

I don't know how you get comparing the two. Just showing how good Wilson is.

Not a patch on Ashley Barnes according to plenty on here.

jrgbfc

The young lad Tom Davies seems out of favour there. If it continues worth looking at this summer or in January? Hendrick likely to leave and Cork another year older, we could do a lot worse than this lad depending on us affording his wages.

jrgbfc

There's being fit and then there's Dyche fit. Being able to run around a lot is more important than technical ability in a Dyche team.

jrgbfc

Wouldn't mind seeing Hendrick given a decent run in the middle instead of Cork. Cork seems to be one of the undroppables but unfortunately his performances these days are nowhere near justifying that status.

jrgbfc

Without Hart in the team and some are realising Hendrick isn't as bad as they thought , UTC posters are scratching around for a scapegoat. UTC posters like Taylor so Pieters is easy to dislike, I think that's how it works. Not about making Pieters a scapegoat at all, more about thinking we should h...

If Wood continues to look out of sorts Dyche might consider a change by November.

jrgbfc

I'd say the reason Bardsley is on the bench ahead of Taylor is that he is capable of covering both sides. As others have said Pieters is the perfect player for Dyche, experienced but limited footballer, does exactly as he's told, good pro etc. We aren't going to progress if we keep picking players l...

I know they were gifted the third goal but from what I saw Norwich played well, particularly in the first half.

But if we beat City you'd no doubt say it was a well deserved, comprehensive victory

We have some decent options upfront now. No need to blindly persist with Barnes and Wood if it isn't working.

Spijed wrote:You just can't resist forever having a dig at us, can you?

Just because someone thinks we were poor today doesn't make them less of a fan. You seem obsessed with defending every aspect of the club no matter what, are you Mike Garlick by any chance?

jrgbfc

Bairstow gone again. Nowhere near our best keeper, and surely can't claim to be a better wk batsman than Foakes or Buttler now. Could do with another 100 runs, otherwise it's all down to Smith. If he makes 150+ then the the other 10 might well scramble enough to take them beyond a 360 / 400 target....

jrgbfc

Wasn't Nick Tilsley from Corrie in it? Star midfielder?

jrgbfc

This whole episode may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. This scenario may pan out. Dyche gives him last chance but he has not played come January. Chelsea want rid because of disciplinary issues, nobody else will touch him with a bargepole and we sign a penitent for next to nothing now desper...

jrgbfc

Maybe Vydra should start going out on the lash and causing himself some self inflicted injuries then? Not really sure why Drinkwater gets a second chance while Vydra never been given one in the first place. Certainly has his favourites does our Sean.

jrgbfc

Was gonna say if you're travelling from the Burnley area it's not really worth booking that far in advance anyway. Won't be much cheaper than just buying it on the day.

jrgbfc

If we're saying 2 weeks out the reality is probably 6-8 weeks. Then once he's caught up, he might be Dyche fit by December. All the while picking up about 50 grand a week from us.

jrgbfc

Managing to make Mitchell Marsh look good should be the final nail in the coffin for some of these batsmen.

Good of the club to let us know!

jrgbfc

If the lower tier doesn't sell out soon then I don't think we'll bother taking the rest. Anyone hanging on for a ticket in the upper tier might end up disappointed.

jrgbfc

Spijed wrote:Makes you wonder why Bairstow keeps his place.

Because he spat his dummy out the last time they gave the wicket keeping gloves to someone else, despite him being a far superior keeper. If Ben Foakes isn't behind the stumps for the winter tour then there's something wrong.

jrgbfc

If getting the train to New Street then the 2 train stations nearest the ground are Aston and Witton. Think Witton will be slightly closer to the away end and handier for the away pub that Leisure mentions.

jrgbfc

If it's right that we've nearly sold the first lot already then surely we'll take the rest. Risking a few unsold tickets is better than ******* off over a thousand of your own supporters who end up missing out.

Apparently Southgate wasn't too happy with his attitude over the summer with the under 21s. Maybe trying to teach him a lesson?

No one can claim this qualifier has been dull! Must admit a midfield 3 of Henderson, Rice and Barkley doesn't fill me with confidence against the better sides this summer.

Awaits all the Ben Mee should be playing posts.....

I’ve just done some searching and it appears we now have a panel of just three selectors - Ed Smith, James Taylor and the head coach. Didn't Bayliss admit once that he has barely bothered to watch any county cricket? Now the World cup is done with time to really focus on the Test side of things aga...

jrgbfc

Hopefully we're onto Villa for the upper tier then.

jrgbfc

If the lads are settled and living over here no real reason why they can't sign longer deals. I know James Price is living here after marrying an English girl, makes it easier for clubs if they don't have to worry about sorting their accommodation as well.

jrgbfc

Better players than both the Irish teams, who manage to be competitive and reached the last Euros.

I have spoken with a Chelsea supporter who was really pleased that Drinkwater had left Chelsea on loan and he and other Chelsea supporters want shot of him It is probable that he will never play for Chelsea again so it would not surprise me if his contract was cancelled by mutual consent at some st...

jrgbfc

What the hell were Chelsea thinking when they signed him? Just checked and his contract doesn't expire till 2022, must have given him a 5 year deal

jrgbfc

What is James Taylor's role exactly? Apart from watching the cricket in a nice suit and sunglasses. Smacks of jobs for the boys to me.

Looks like Colne have had a big turnover of players over the summer. From their team on Saturday there was only really Alex Coleman and Lee Pugh at left back who I recognised.

jrgbfc

Not sure that's such a great move for him really. Huddersfield are a team on a downward trajectory whereas Lincoln are going in the opposite direction.

jrgbfc

Have they given us the upper or lower tier first?

jrgbfc

Colne got their replay at home to South Shields tomorrow night if anyone fancies taking in a game.

jrgbfc

Didn't Keane come on loan first? Apart from that I don't think theres any. The problem is with us signing loan players that Dyche is so big on loyalty and having a settled team, it's not easy for him to drop someone for a player who might only be here short term. That's why I didn't get too excited ...

jrgbfc

Haven't we been looking for the past 3 transfer windows?? No player exists Probably because we don't look further afield than the Championship. We have millions of pounds in the bank and there is a whole world of central midfielders out there, many of whom would jump at the chance to come and play ...

jrgbfc

Think Colne are gonna be in for a long, hard summer next year. Pricey gonna be very hard to replace, hopefully Gary Hunt can find us another good un.

jrgbfc

No doubt the likes of Denly and Leach will be made the scapegoats so people like Bairstow can continue to be picked despite contributing very little to the Test side for a while now. Probably recall Mooen Ali as well now he's showing a bit of form.

jrgbfc

The sooner Bayliss goes the better now. He's done his job with the one day side but he's taken the Test side backwards.

jrgbfc

Colne bowl Enfield out for 126 to win the title. The Price is right with 6 wickets.

Colne bowling first at Enfield. Bowl them out and that's the league won.
