Positive thoughts: McNeil looked lively and refreshed against West Ham Lowton is beginning to find some form and his crosses are definitely improving By the law of averages our luck in front of goal will improve Brady is working extremely hard and playing well Taylor will probably be fit for tonight...

You'd like to think that given they have no CB's available and are playing two midfielders at the back, we'd have a real go at them. It'll be the same lineup as Saturday, playing 4-4-2 and we'll give them far too much respect like we do with City and sit back. We have little creativity in the side,...

One £25 million quality signing who is good enough to start with the first team immediately might just be the difference between survival and relegation.

It’s not a question of ‘can we afford to spend so much money?’

It’s more a question of ‘can we afford not to spend it?’

A suggestion for 4-4-1-1

Usual defensive 4

Brownhill Westwood Cork Brady
____________McNeil
_______Rodriguez or Wood

McNeil given free roaming role behind the centre forward which releases him from some defensive duties

Brownhill to play narrow right half back rather than winger

Also, it might be worth trying Brady in a free role behind a lone striker in a 4-4-1-1 formation

______Rodriguez or Wood

The strikers are pivotal to our entire game plan, If they do not hold the ball up then we are knackered. Yes it could be argued that the service they get in open play is substandard but this has always been the case in comparison to other teams. The difference at the moment is on the occasions they...

Yes, but what happens when the lockdown is over?

Another ‘we’ve always done it this way’ habit for Mr Pace to review.

Mala591

If the U23’s played at Turf Moor would anyone else be prepared to pay a few quid to watch them?

At the moment it seems that the club are discouraging supporters (purposely?) by having a distant home ground and poor promotion of games.

Mala591

I think we're missing Taylor and hopefully he'll be back soon but do agree that a formation change might also help. Especially against Liverpool and possibly also against Villa and Chelsea. We've nothing to lose trying a formation change and we can always revert back to 442 if need be. ____________...

Dyche seems happy with our current (near fully fit) squad. The crunch time comes when Pace asks Dyche what is needed for us to keep our PL status but evolve into a more attacking/creative/entertaining team (i.e. a more ‘marketable’ product). Dyche might say to Pace ‘It can be done but it’s a high ri...

Anyone remember playing Whitewell Bottom? They had one player who played with his glasses on (and a chunky elasticated band to hold them on

) and another player with only one arm. Both were very good players by the way.

It's clear to everyone involved or has watched us this season that there is an issue with us as an attacking force. Its' more than reasonable to expect Pace to address this with Dyche. No one has mentioned attacking Dyche because of it or being armed with questions. The OP said looking at it which ...

Mala591

If Pace wants Dyche to play a more attacking brand of football (a more marketable product) then he must ask Dyche what he needs to gradually move in that direction. Obviously recruitment of better quality players is part of the answer but imo better quality attacking/offensive coaching is also part ...

Defensive shape, tackling and blocking shots are all excellent and are the result of intensive work on the training field. But what about improving our attacking skills, are we improving or stagnating? Movement off the ball, powerful and accurate shots on target, clever variations of tactics for cor...

Dyche obviously doesn’t ‘rate’ Vydra (for want of a better word) so why don’t we sell him and get someone new in who Dyche does rate?

Is there an app which monitors THE FANS ‘player of the year’ and ‘young player of the year’ for Championship and Div 1 teams? Now that would be useful.

Mala591

We need a high tempo, pressing and (legally) aggressive start. Two goals in the first 30 minutes (Barnes and Wood) then hang on for dear life.

Why? Small shareholders have had no input into how the club has been run for years.

Thank you for your thoughts Mr Garlick. Might I remind you that Mr Pace is the chairman now.

Mala591

It would seem reasonable to expect Alan Pace to write to/e-mail ALL Burnley Football Club shareholders with a summary of the business plan especially the part of the plan relating to player recruitment and how it is to be financed.

Turf Moor is obviously underused at 90 minutes every fortnight.

I’d play the u23’s there (just open the Bob Lord stand) and have pop concerts over the summer months.

Where does the money/investment come from to improve the pace/technical ability/quality of our playing squad?

Message to Chairman Mr Alan Pace - please bring back our home u23 games CLOSER TO BURNLEY so they can be watched by Burnley fans.

So,
Turf Moor has been mortgaged
The training complex has been mortgaged
The value of the players has been mortgaged

Do we still have £50 million in the bank?

Dyche obviously doesn’t ‘rate’ Vydra as a PL striker (too lightweight?) so:

Identify the best 5 strikers in the Championship and offer Vydra plus cash to each club and see what the response is.

Pace to Dyche - ‘You have £20 million and £75,000 (per week in wages) to spend in the January transfer window.’

What could be simpler?

I think it was ‘Crazy horse’ who played for Keighley Green first team who had to have two pints and a large portion of pie and peas before every match to ‘give him energy’

I wonder if Sean Dyche has ever tried that with any off-form players as a last resort
