Can't understand our fans who don't rate him. He is head and shoulders above anyone else in that team. Put him in a side with some better footballers and he'll improve even more.

jrgbfc

No big lads at Palace away and we witnessed some of the best football I think we have played under Dyche, especially in the first half, it can be done, so why don`t we see it more ? We were forced to playing that way cos Barnes and Wood were out. Likewise Bournemouth at home last season, Vydra, Jay...

When we first arrived in the prem I don’t think one claret fan thought we would play a fast paced flowing style of football. We had to be hard to beat, compact, smash and grab when we can. However I don’t think there’s many that would think we’d be doing the same 5 years later, I know I was hoping ...

Jay Rod has to play ahead of Barnes for me. With Barnes upfront we're so one dimensional and predictable. He shouldn't be anymore than a squad player now, someone to bring on late in a game to try and unsettle teams.

Vydra must be so frustrated

As soon as everyone was fit Vydra was always going to be back to not getting a sniff, so predictable. The lad probably can't wait to leave now, and who can blame him.

Hegazi and Ivanovic at CB for West Brom, neither played since July, Wood and Barnes should be a handful for them, especially Ivanovic being 36 as well.

Both decent in the air though, they obviously know what's coming.

jrgbfc

Cork is one of Dyche's favourites. Rightly or wrongly he'll be back in as soon as he's fit, just like Barnes was.

jrgbfc

I think some need to calm down a bit. This was the table two seasons ago after five games, with us at the bottom. Also, those saying how well Villa are doing, just look at Watford and Bournemouth. There was some real rubbish in the league that year, Cardiff in particular. We've stood still and the ...

If we have Bardsley and Long starting next week we're in trouble the way Son and Kane are playing.

Didn't the make clear recently we wouldn't be taking chlorinated chicken?

Sell the NHS yes, chicken nol

Cos obviously the Tories have proved themselves so trustworthy. If Boris has said no to chlorinated chicken then we can definetely rule it out.

jrgbfc

I think all the best centre forward are a bit greedy, it's just a burning desire to score goals that probably helps make them more effective. Mo Salah another example.

jrgbfc

Or put it towards going to watch your local non league side instead. Plenty of worthier causes.

jrgbfc

Probably not good for us. Spurs will come out all guns blazing at the Turf next week now. Wouldn't have fancied being in that dressing room at full time....

Not today but a result of yesterday’s football - Virgil van Dijk injury confirmed as anterior cruciate ligament.

Hopefully Pickford can still face some kind of punishment.

I've said it's not the be-all. I've also said it's pathetic to fail when they have it. It should be an absolute given. It's embarrassing to fail with that sort of money. You said why have Moyes and Solksjaer failed - you've not backed or argued the case. They are both crap managers. My point was mo...

jrgbfc

I disagree. Give a club enough money and they can't fail - or they shouldn't fail. The coaching and managing is secondary. Leeds have thrown £100+ million at the wall and should, IMO finish top 10, because of that. Give us £100 million? Blimey, we'd be cruising. Some clubs are so bad, that even £10...

jrgbfc

Who does he play for? Sounds a bit too foreign for Dyche to be interested?

jrgbfc

Any new lockdown measures are doomed to fail because the majority of the public don't believe in them anymore. They're doing just as much damage as the virus itself, if not more.

jrgbfc

Not a massive Rugby league fan but really enjoying this game. Hoping Salford nick it.

jrgbfc

Imagine that going against you in the last minute of a derby match, you'd be absolutely fuming.

jrgbfc

A horrible scrappy game. But got a feeling we'll just nick it, 2-1.

Go on then Tony,name me one worse than him .?

Rob Green, Scott Carson, David James?

Worth giving a go ahead of Long now for me.

jrgbfc

So what is an acceptable time period to wait for a vaccine while we completely trash the world economy and ruin people's lives? 6 months, 18 months? The long term effects of these measures will do more harm than the virus itself.

jrgbfc

Think there's a bit more to it than being organised. Roy Hodgson has shown that he's perfectly capable of organising a team at Premier league level but didn't pull up any trees for England. Why do people think Dyche would do any better?

jrgbfc

Not sure the multi millionaire Sean Dyche is best placed to answer the question on whether 15 quid is too expensive tbh.

jrgbfc

Park view were advertising it, don't think they do food though.

jrgbfc

I've enjoyed going to watch Colne FC tbh. No VAR, no play acting. Club run by volunteers who do it because they genuinely love it, and as a fan you feel genuinely valued rather than a number who is just there to be made money out of.

jrgbfc

Wonder if this Norris will be trusted to sit on the bench if need be? Legdzins clearly wasn't. We might have to be in the market for yet another cheap keeper.

jrgbfc

A lot of pubs will be making so little at the moment it might be better for them to go into tier 3 so they qualify for government help.

jrgbfc

I always got the impression he had to sacrifice a bit of his game to play for us. From the bits I saw of him before he joined us he seemed really creative and chipped in with plenty of goals and assists, which we never really saw from him at Burnley.

jrgbfc

As others have pointed out, he could have probably got a game at right back ahead of Bardsley. And it's highly likely Tarks will be leaving this summer so I'm not buying that claim by Boden at all.

jrgbfc

Im probably just being a bit thick so someone will need to help me with this one. We went in to lockdown, numbers slowly started to drop We lifted some restrictions, numbers started to rise We are now looking like we will be going into a tougher set of restrictions I expect over the next few months...

jrgbfc

I can`t get people comparing the cost of watching us on TV to watching the Clarets live... There is no comparison Spot on. Going to the game is about the whole day out, the atmosphere, catching up with family, seeing your mates for a beer etc. Paying 15 quid to watch what essentially feels like a g...

Will you be paying?

No I won't. I've managed to survive up to this point without watching every game we play live, so missing a few more won't hurt. If it's a Saturday afternoon I'd rather go and watch a local non league game, and give the money to a club that actually needs it.

jrgbfc

If you feel that strongly about it make a stand and don't pay it, simple. It's not compulsory.

jrgbfc

No, things are depressing enough at the moment without being unable to enjoy a beer.

The Tories will win the next election.

It’s 4 years away and a lot can happen in that 4 years.

I wouldn't be so sure about that with a huge recession looming and the potential for Brexit to be an absolute disaster.

jrgbfc

Feel a bit sorry for the lads making their debuts in such weird circumstances. Particularly Calvert Lewin and Coady getting on the scoresheet and it being in an empty stadium.

jrgbfc

Ben Mee's was a bad one - out three and a half months now, but he is back doing some training so just a matter of getting him fit and ready to play Jay Rod - not so serious from what I've been told Jack Cork - surgery, now in rehab, not sure how long. Kevin Long not good enough? Couldn't agree more...

jrgbfc

The headlines seem to say Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle but I think Lancashire will be included as well. This will finish a lot of pubs and restaurants off I bet.

jrgbfc

At best we've stood still, while the league has got a lot tougher. With a full strength squad I think we'd be fine, but I'm a bit worried the injuries to Ben Mee and Jay are more serious than they're letting on, and Cork clearly isn't going to be back anytime soon. Kevin Long and Barnes just aren't ...

jrgbfc

Without any freshening up of the squad SD has the difficult task of trying to motivate the same group of players that have heard it all before. Many of the players (including captain Ben Mee) had spoken out about the shortage of numbers and the squad lacking any real depth. Let's hope and pray that...

jrgbfc

You could say that we are bringing through players such as Dunne and Benson. But bringing in Dale Stephens has blocked any possible progression for Benson realistically. I'm guessing we'll offer Cork a new deal as well so that will be 4 central midfielders ahead of him, all tied down for the next 2...

Probably the only thing more painful than watching Burnley at the moment.

I'll watch the first 10, is Bale playing?

Bale is injured. Not sure he's even training for Spurs yet.

jrgbfc

If we go down we desperately need to freshen the squad up with some younger blood. The problem with all these 30+ year olds is that they're financially made for life, will they have the hunger for another slog in the Championship, just to get promoted to a league which they know will be a big strugg...

I’m loving Don Winslow at the moment. I’m on the final book of his cartel series at the moment which is more of an epic than a page turner. The Force was a real page turner though, crime fiction about a corrupt NYPD detective. I’d say it’s his immersive style of writing which really gets me hooked ...

jrgbfc

I think he'll go at the end of this season when his contract is up.

As much as relegation is disappointing, I don't get worked up or angry over it, some fans think its the worst thing ever... its not at the top of my concerns A) - I have no control over it B) - When I think about it, I enjoy watching Burnley just as much as I do as when they are in the Premier Leag...
