The black cloud chasers on here and the last board, wouldn't listen when they were going on about how we should be like Swansea and follow their model.

A crystal ball was not needed.

I remember his first home game because incredibly it was pay on't gate for Wigan in the Cricketfield.

Naturally there were loads of Burnley fans in the Cricketfield, including a last minute dash for me.

The police were pulling out Burnley fans all match. It was like a who's who of Clarets in there.

The chopping and changing of the side was one of the main factors for me.

A lot of the chopping and changing wasn't due to injuries.

Harry Potts would never have played a weakened side in European competition. Weakened side? 8 of the players who have been starting on this run that we've had, started against Olympiacos at home. 2 more came on later as sub. So the only one who was missing was Tarky who was coming back from an inju...

I'm still struggling with this 'thinking'.

In fact if you look at the players we put out and how we played, then you have to say that the 'thinking' is a load of b0llocks.

Bin Ont Turf

I don't know what you are after Bordeaux but playing with a high line doesn't suit us.

We are pretty well drilled, but I'd rather our defenders be in front of attackers than behind them.

Bin Ont Turf

What if playing a high line makes us good at defending? It doesn't though. We've conceded far too many goals at set pieces, and that goal for Brighton today wouldn't have happened if we just defended properly. Tarky and Mee headed and kicked everything away today from open play. We are good at defe...

The criticisms and possibly comparisons to Lennon and Brady are a little unfair. Rightly so, I think that the expectations on McNeil are a little less from Dyche, than they might be on the others. It’s often been said that Dyche doesn’t let his wingers ‘play’ as much as we would like. McNeil perhap...

Bin Ont Turf

No it's not offside.

But we do need to stop playing a high line, as we are pretty good at defending.

Nah!

You can see why he's been with us for five years, and why the stupid belief that Dyche doesn't like 'flair' players, is a load of b0llocks.

I've said it since not long after he joined us.......... the best all round midfielder we have got.

Bin Ont Turf

He really has made a difference.

He carries the ball so well, can beat a man and cross a beauty of a ball.

Bin Ont Turf

It was funny when he was talking about the town and fans.

He said....... "I know the fans up there"

Then after a little pause, he said.............. "I don't know all their names though"

It is greed which fuels the sandal wearing stompers.

Materialistic, money oriented, I'm okay but if my pension takes a nose dive I may have to give up drinking French wine.... as long as I don't have to live next to them Romanians...... they are thick as pig sh1t in Burnley......

Bin Ont Turf

The standing off thing is by design mostly. We play for the block, allowing the opposition the ball when we defend but putting bodies between us and the goal. One of the main reasons why Burnley are the xG stat’s biggest anomaly. Best use I’ve ever seen of it from us was the Liverpool 2-0. This is ...

I think both our central two do quite well at it.

If one goes when the front two are split then one has to stay and keep the shape. It just happens to be Westwood who goes more often, because he's a little terrier.

On seeing Match o't Day I've changed my mind.

The way Barnes' legs were when their goalkeeper went into him, he could not have stayed on his feet or couldn't have hurdled him.

Yes

Yes he did feel he needed to give it.

The first one (that he didn't give) was one of those where he (Barnes) could have stayed on his feet, but it was a penalty.

We now have a like for like except crouch scores and assists.

There should only be two credible reasons for what happened yesterday.

1. We were desperate for the money.
2. We were desperate for a forward, any forward.

None of which stack up and that's why it's so baffling.

The addition of a slow Crouch to our already one paced attack is not relevant?

I was just thinking, for a frugal club we do waste quite a bit of money on the quiet.

It's nothing to do with disliking Hart. He has been dealt a bad hand, even though I think he could have done a little better in a couple of games.
