This is great news. A central midfield of Cullen, Brownhill and Massengo is more than good enough to take us back up. Assuming Berge won't stick around (I'd love him to but we'd get good money for him.) What makes you think Massengo would be good enough? Not a dig as i've not seen him play, i'm gen...

I wish people would show even half the support to actual Burnley players.

Congratulations Vitinho on winning the 2023/24 Bundesliga.

Any good recommendations for away fan friendly pubs nearby? The first time I went we went to the Irish Centre but looks like that's closed now.

There's positivity and there's delusion. Sheffield United are a poor side, our performances by and large have been better in the last few weeks, and it's a winnable game. But this team and manager are simply not capable of keeping us in the league, especially in this position.

Am I in the minority that it doesn't affect my efforts to get on the Turf whether it's on TV or not? I live in Newcastle, but when I'm picking matches to attend, I NEVER look to see if it's on TV before I book tickets. Not the Turf so much but definitely for away games, particularly the more expens...

I thought he was good first half, then the management team in their infinite wisdom swapped him and Foster over for the second half and he faded.

Horrible Bosses.

It is hard to care about a game that realistically has nothing riding on it. It felt to me in the stadium like nobody really believed we could do it, whereas prior to the Wolves game we'd given ourselves a glimmer. I'm sure with some more meaningful games last year and hopefully something to play fo...

8/9 teams still in the relegation battle , B@stards only 3 points clear and what looks a horrific run in , inc Leicester , Leeds , Cov and a 6 pointer vs brum.

The 6 pointer is against Sheffield Wednesday.

I don't miss his racism, tbh. It was strangely tolerated on here for too long imo

I stopped reading/posting on this forum for a couple of years for this exact reason. Thankfully the moderating seems to have improved a lot.

mickleoverclaret

It might lose a bit of lustre because the expectation will be higher than it was last year, but if we play similar football and get a similar points tally it'll be hard not to enjoy it.

Can somebody explain how relegation works in the NWC Premier please?

Why would we need a fire sale and massive clean up for the championship, this team we have now that would be playing in the championship next season is better than the one that walked it last time As per the accounts we will need to sell some players for financial reasons rather than footballing on...

It was a bad sub, just nowt to do with the weather.

mickleoverclaret

Whilst this is true, the other poster also made a fair point. I remember Dyche being very reluctant to change things in a position like that because it can be difficult to get up to speed. It was a silly change that night but Tresor didn't do himself any favours. He's not who you want to bring on t...

It was absolutely brassic that night against Luton. All the subs had the warm gear on and none will have wanted to come on for the last 10 minutes.
Anyone judging him on that performance wants him to fail.

If he can't hack playing 10 minutes in the cold then he's in the wrong country.

Would these be the same Ex players who incense so many on here with their cheating, diving, falling over if breathed on, shot-by-sniper impersonations, shirt-pulling, deliberate handballs…..

I think poacher-turned-gamekeeper is partly why it'd be a good idea!

mickleoverclaret

yeah, think about it logically - can you honestly say with a straight face that FIVE appearances would trigger a clause as was reported ? It makes zero sense When Chris Wood signed on loan for Forest his permanent deal was triggered after he made 3 appearances, so it can happen. I imagine it's an F...

Chatted to an American who'd been at the game in the pub afterwards, he said he wished he'd been in the away end because "you guys were effing loud!"

Regarding the johnson situation - it does seem a bit rum that Forest are being punished for breaching profit rules by selling a player for more money during the same transfer window.

They knew the rules though when they overspent in the season before.

mickleoverclaret

If we had a few players involved in the play-off games and we were forced to play against a team who didn't you'd probably have a different view.

Good shouts! Although did we see Eto'o play at the Turf? I can't seem to remember if we did or not.

He scored a couple for Everton when we played them in 2014/15. There was one in front of the Cricket Field end which was a cracker if memory serves.

Can't be as bad as we were at their place (hopefully!)

Isn't Ben White one of these people who doesn't like football and just sees the game as a job? Maybe he just fancies the weekends off.

I can't take something seriously when it states that Mark Winstanley was a fan favourite at Burnley. Any mention of him during a game usually had the prefix Bloody Hell. Bloody Hell Winstanley, mark your man as an example. We still refer to a ball that lands on the Bob Lord Stand roof as a Winstanl...

If its less than £150 per ticket increase i wont bat an eyelid, anymore i'll look at it more. That would be a huge percentage increase for anyone, surely? Off the top of my head that'd be a roughly 33% price increase for me. Hard to justify on the back of an awful season and a relegation to a lower...

Definitely better than Penny and Norris albeit very small sample sizes. Suspect he will have a better career than Jensen although I wouldn't say there's much between them in terms of Premier League performances thus far.

Kompany will last longer as the level of expectation from the fans and the board at Everton is much, much bigger than it is here.

Think it helped McNeil to stand out that he was a flair player in a team that was workmanlike without much stardust sprinkled across it, particularly out wide where we'd become accustomed to grafters who'd double up on their fullbacks without having a great amount of attacking quality at Premier Lea...

Berge stayed at Sheffield United for a couple of years in the Champ so don't think it's a foregone conclusion that he leaves in the summer. Hopefully not, anyway!

mickleoverclaret

I think they probably only need three wins and I can't see them not getting that even with a tricky fixture list. That said there's probably 7 or 8 clubs saying the same. Reminds me of that first season under Dyche where about 10 teams could still go down going into the final few games- think we got...

Would love to know what those booing Trafford hope to achieve??? Certainly isn't going to help him or the team!

I don't boo Trafford so I can't speak for them, but I don't imagine they're trying to achieve anything other than venting their understandable frustration.

mickleoverclaret

Correct, they prefer to make things up to back up their ridiculous agendas, than to admit we were good in the main today, one defensive error and not clinical enough up front. Some of the build up play was as good as we've been all season If people had an "agenda" to criticise the performance of th...

You are the deluded one. Had he failed to get us promoted but we were now 2nd in the Championship, you'd be all over him.

I expect us to get 2 or 3 loanees from both City and Chelsea, combined with a few signings and letting a few go. Last season happened, not sure why people are automatically thinking because of this season that next season will be a bad one To be fair plenty are assuming that because last season was...

Playing Trafford seems to be more important than winning to Kompany

Weird that anyone would find the team selection more important than the performance or result. Surely the important thing is fielding a team that will compete and get results. If we started with Muric and Benson for example and then put in our worst performance of the season and got our heaviest de...

Our style of play has changed massively from last season, though, and not for the better.

mickleoverclaret

Thought Rovers turned up in what was their biggest game of the season, fair play. Delighted to see them lose and hopefully Gallagher and potentially Smodicz miss the next 3 or 4, they need a few wins as they've a very tough run in.

I'd like Cooper but an interesting left field shout might be Will Still.

I hated seeing our captain smile as he got sent off in a must win game, annoyed me probably more than it should’ve.

The time where we had any must win games is long gone.
