Pope 6 nowt to do Lowton 6 few touches up front later but quiet Tarkowski 6 Mee 6 brave Pieters 4 left Mee badly exposed JBG 4 couple of half shots but needs shipping out Brownhill 5 combative but loose Westwood 5 lacks a gear and sadly needs an upgrade Brady 5 poor marking awful end product Wood 4 ...

You have to remember though without fans these have any underlying practice game vibe ( not the effort or end results) and without the baying mob I guess players can shake on a good hard contest . That said no ,I didn’t like it but always switch off ASAP after whistle

They’ve been great servants but as a partnership really haven’t performed regularly since season before last imo . Barnes look slow and he was never gifted with pace and I think his time at this level is well and truly over . While he may yet score the odd goal some of the blind faith people store i...

Pope 7 did what he could Lowton 7 good game for him one great block Tarkowski 8 our best player Mee 7 bravery never in doubt Pieters 7 kept Rashford pretty quiet Brady 6 enthusiastic but some awful balls in Westwood 6 grafted but overrun in 2nd half Brownhill 6 enthusiastic as ever but as above JBG ...

I thought Ash was ok tbh though he can kill momentum from forward play as he’s lost a little pace which shows,great servant though and he still has a part to
play .Wood is just woeful and though he’s earnt some credit you have to hope a fit Jay and proper striker is beckoning for Coach Dyche

Are you doing it then ? Maybe if the government and NHS did things like gave their nurses the vaccine before asking them to administer this in Covid ridden situations they were placed in before Christmas then people might be a bit more prepared to help out. If this is what they expect from their lo...

So they want to have people do a job for free in conditions that they may come into contact with Covid-19? Why can't we just pay people. While I doubt you’ve got a days work in you , it’s called public spirit and doing your bit in an unprecedented crisis . The sheer admin that would be needed to of...

Gotta feel sorry for the new top man . Every company’s ultra pain in the arsrse “ meeting the public /shareholders/stakeholders “ In all sectors it’s usually made up of badly educated hard core super fan Facebook type loons . You can only wish him well

AlargeClaret

He’s done wonders imo . Getting ANYONE to play for Fleetwood from the lowest academy ages up is an ongoing problem for them . They have more recruitment events and trials than any club I’ve ever known . I’ve no idea what’s gone on but you gotta remember it’s Joey Barton so everything is a “bust up” ...

As a club who are literally desperate for player investment ,I don’t care where the money comes from . While I’d hate us to become a franchise ,people have to understand that “stadium” sponsorship and other corporate nonsense are part of the deal,it won’t tame the beast within .Though bearing in min...

Well deserved for Jimmy , cracking stats and not forgetting he was steaming when he scored at least half of en

AlargeClaret

Seems decent enough though don’t be fooled by the folksy bullshine ,this is a hard nosed corporate investment . I’m highly optimistic though and providing we keep that individuality and uniqueness and don’t turn into a “ kick the ball harder “ franchise I’m all in .

A quality right wing back and either a quality striker ( someone to play alongside Jayrod) or tricky right winger/quality right mid .

Didn’t our great sportsmen ( he’s truly one of those) have to put a life of achievement in the public domain AFTER their illustrious careers had ended before receiving the honour ? Hopefully the wig wearing petulant clown will behave himself when meeting her maj and not ask her “ why you not taking ...

We only really got Dwight from Utd at 14/15 so will have been pretty polished tbf .

Pope - 7 nowt to do Lowton - 6 was ok Tarkowski - 8 good Mee - 8 Good Pieters - 6 miles off Taylor Brady - 6 busy and nice shot but upgrade needed Westwood - 6 steady Brownhill - 6 steady Benson - 5 seems naive Wood - 5 one header great save Barnes - 7 put a right shift in Awful game beyond words al...

Saw him a few times back in the day , Manchester , Stockport etc . He was great at stories , always remember one about a p1ssed up bloke getting the bus home and puking into a old woman’s hood ,(the woman used to carry her little dog around in the hood).... “ I nae remember eating that “ ... was the...

AlargeClaret

I guess if we could get him cheap which we wouldn’t, he’d possibly surpass the Belgian crock’s 1 league goal ( or was it 2?) haul over his injury ravaged 3 yr tenure .

AlargeClaret

I thought he was pretty good considering the enormous physical pressure we put him under. In fact I thought, despite what we're told that Leeds can't defend, especially from dead ball kicks, they defended very well against us. I suggest this shows our limitations. Without a doubt it shows our limit...

Pope 7 unlucky pen couple of cursory saves Lowton 6 loose passes but ok Tarks 7 good going forward amazingly Mee 5 awful 1st half ok 2nd ,easily stretched Taylor 7 good game defensive and crosses Benson 4 out of his depth Westwood 7 limited player but gives 100% Brownhill 8 combative and keen Pieter...

That was one of the weakest performances I’ve seen from a keeper and that includes grass roots from about u8 up! He dropped and flapped and punched ,how in holy hell he’s getting that gig I’ll never know

AlargeClaret

To be fair Phillips was superb today in that defensive role and their young keeper did well. We are looking a lot better but our final pass and cross so often let’s us down. That was one of the worst keeper performances I’ve ever seen . He flapped and dropped or weakly punched all the high balls ev...

AlargeClaret

One of the weakest refs I’ve seen in years he was terrible and terrified . Unlucky we were today as Leeds are clearly the weakest prem side I’ve seen in years almost beyond poor

AlargeClaret

Was hoping Brady would make it as we’d at least have a natural left winger and Brownhill on the right . It’s looking like we’re back to the reserve left back as a right mid,makes us hellishly weak but we’ve done it before is gonna need some real grit and resolve

AlargeClaret

Maybe a daft question but does anyone have a ballpark figure that may be available to SD for the transfer window if all completed on the takeover ?

Worth noting that Taylor is improving all the time and almost impossible to compare stats with only a 50% “ on field comparison “ Though Ward was a smart defender he’s nowhere near as good at close control ,crossing or interlinking wing play ( though he could land the odd beauty) Taylor is also a lo...

He’s not far off the levels ward was at for us now. Which is some praise.

Taylor is a class above Ward , though Wardy was good for us

AlargeClaret

Awful awful side we’ve got out though best not to dwell on it, as we can only play the hand we’re dealt.It’s obvious why he’s chosen Barnes with their packed out defence and hope has to spring eternal

Its not something I watch or take much notice of but out of curiosity did Gary Lineker win an award this year?

People talking about Barnes like he “ used to be like Messi until he got injured” he’s been a cracking servant and in teams where so few midfielders /wingers regularly score he’s always earnt his corn in goals no doubt about it . Though at 31 he’s past his best and while he still has his uses ,to th...

Doesn’t Colin usually become available around Xmas ?

AlargeClaret

“El Khazi” is more suited to his finishing . Though imagine if we had a fast skilful player !

AlargeClaret

Barnes has become an embarrassment , he’s been a great servant and I’ve loved his attitude but he’s past his prime and really needs to be moved on along with the likes of Lowton, Brady ,JBG et al

Pope - 7
Lowton - 6

She was excellent. Impartial. Although tonight as a Birmingham fan she might not be. She’s as good as any about right now for me. Just let me and CT be dinosaurs please !

AlargeClaret

Oh ffs please tell me Carney isn’t doing the commentary .? Nothing wrong with birds working in football /tv but the female voice just does not work when doing football commentary . Works ok with summarising like on Sky Sat multi games etc .

AlargeClaret

I fancy us 0-2 or 1-2

Villa are an open playing side but they’re nowt special , a side who will allow the likes of McNeil and Jay Rod a bit more service could be painful for them . We’ve a lot more confidence and defensively we’re looking a lot tighter

Fray Bentos are pleasingly disgusting, the urge and desire then the gorging following by queasy slightly nauseous regret. Not unlike picking up a rough old tart at 3am

Quite an amusing restaurant critic tbf ( he’s no AA Gill mind ) Though he’s the last person you can ever imagine at a match . I’m minded of the old fast show “ new football fan “ character but an agonisingly middle class version . Probs says “ boo hiss” when Utd come on the telly

His shot stopping , positioning and command of area is superb though his kicking is same as it’s always been since he was at Bury ( when I first saw him play and train ) He could play it longer off the ground than anyone I’ve ever seen but his trapping of the ball ain’t gonna change , glad we have h...

While I can see why people are mightily ****** off by the lancs boundary thing ( why not just any other tier 2 areas ??) to hear people moaning about “ I might get wet in the JHL” and “ I’ve never had a phone and never will” really does reinforce that Burnley is some backwater hillbilly town with an...
