We looked good going forward, a few dodgy moments at the back still. A much needed positive performance

MRG

We just need to keep adding them points, it’s all about the magic numbers

MRG

Nope, all is better now. Today’s performance means that we weren’t outplayed last week. All the problems that were apparent last week actually happened after a great attacking performance this week.

Great thread

MRG

Welcome back Wood

MRG

I hope he didn’t sign a yard past the dotted line

MRG

I’ve been using Grane Road instead. It’s certainly increased traffic on there at peak times

MRG

It is a desperately needed road widening scheme. Before the Burnley Bridge site came on stream I used to queue on the motorway itself well before junction 9 to come off at that exit. It is an accident waiting to happen now, as the queue is much, much longer. This scheme was mooted by the local and ...

You’re the joke on here, certainly one of them To be fair Hibs, the person who posted 10’s of times trying to convince this message board that an over the hill player who can barely get a start for the worst team in the championship should be our first choice left back, is the biggest joke. Hibs, y...

Taylor should never have been dropped

MRG

They were ridiculously similar

MRG

When did it become compulsory for the away team to wear their ‘away’ kit? It used to be a 2nd kit to be worn when there was a shirt clash. Yesterday both teams were wearing strips that were very difficult to differentiate and their main strip would have resolved the issue

MRG

Genuinely started to feel like I’ve lost the love for football. It’s not just VAR it’s a mixture. There’s no doubt that it brings me far more frustration than enjoyment. When was the last time you came off the turf buzzing feeling like we have really gone at a team? We seem to always be trying to av...

Grow up

MRG

You would be crazy to use a high street agent in this day and age. Online all the way, they will come and take photos then get you on Rightmove, that’s all you need and it’s a fraction of the cost

My point exactly. November and we have already given up on teams like Sheffield United

MRG

It’s a sad day when we stop seeing Sheffield United as relegation rivals during their first season in the top division. That’s very worrying in itself

fanzone wrote:Its pretty much the same defence that finished 7th with Pope in goal

If we are basing our goalkeeper choices on previous seasons, Hart top trumps Popes 7th.

MRG

FactualFrank wrote:What position did we finish two seasons ago when Pope played 35/38 games?

How can it be down to Heaton not playing when we finished bloody 7th.

It took 11 posts, more than usual!

Gordon Birtwistle was a far better MP. He was nearly always outside Mark's and Spensers on Saturday morning, in all weathers, visible and approachable. And he raised the towns profile. I say that as a brexiteer. But, fair play to him. Cooper. Rubbish. Birktwistle wasted every Saturday morning telli...

MRG

Yeah, pretty shocking by Derby. If he wasn't injured during the event, he would most likely still be playing like the other two.. with a fine, and community service etc. Yet instead they threaten to sack him if he doesn't accept to his wage being lowered, pretty sure Lawrence and Bennetts wage didn...

MRG

It’s not really funny though, is it?

MRG

13 years? Where the hell has that gone. I have been a member of the board (including the previous one) under various guises since 2002. Time just flies by. There’s some real characters come and gone over those years

MRG

Cheers guys

MRG

The board is unusually lacking in recommendations

MRG

I’m looking to update my bathroom after Xmas. Can anybody recommend anybody local to Burnley/Rossendale that could come and give me a quote?

MRG

And Rovers lose in their local derby after being 2-0 up

MRG

Pope is one of the top 5 keepers in the league. I was sad to see Tom go but you have to move on. The right decision was made when we chose Pope as our number one. 1st goal went through a forest of legs. Not Pope's fault. 2nd goal deflected off Mee. Not Pope's fault. 3rd goal Pulisic found space unm...

MRG

Best English keeper .....that is all. He was barely the best keeper in our starting 11 yesterday. Getting rid of Heaton was a massive mistake that will come back to haunt us. It was clear to see that the back 4 recognise his limitations and were panicking every time they had the ball which led to t...

MRG

For me, we need to consider giving Hart a chance. He’s proven at this level. Pope has failed to impress all season. This isn’t unusual after a lengthy lay off through injury.

MRG

Well well well..... that is all

MRG

I bet I know which house that is near to the Prairie pub

MRG

Apparently there’s a serious police incident on Colne Rd between the Prairie Pub and the playing fields.

Funnily enough, I bumped into Mcgreal a few weeks back in a hotel at Grimsby pre match (he’s currently managing Colchester). Spoke very fondly about his time with us

MRG

I predict that Wood will be offside at least twice to keep him at the top of the offside table

4 of us (2 couples) heading up to Edinburgh for New Years Eve. We are looking for somewhere that will do food followed by music, ideally something quite upbeat. Has anybody got any recommendations?

MRG

We would need a yes man who was happy to work with our penny pinching board every transfer window

MRG

Nobody. No other club at present is in the Premier League without a sugar daddy or a much bigger support. So to counter the op argument that it’s been a poor transfer window you are saying that we should actually compare against clubs in a similar situation to us yet whichever club he compared to w...

MRG

Name another club who does better than Burnley in making signings. Not those with twice the income and rich sugar daddy owners; just those of similar size. If your complaint was on the lines of "we are just about the best in the country for a club our size, but it could be even better ..."...

For the record, the scouse expression that you refer to is, ‘he’s got more faces than Big Ben’

MRG

Lost on points, well beaten but certainly didn’t disgrace himself

MRG

Even if he can get to points it will be a lot more than anybody expected. 3 long rounds ahead

MRG

He’s looking ok so far

MRG

Today’s game should see Wood place himself back in his rightful position at the top of the offside table for the league.

Repeatedly offside once again.
