Re: Can we reach 30 goals this season?
If you haven't been entertained in the last few seasons then perhaps Burnley is the wrong club for that individual. In my eyes a supporter supports (especially in the tougher times) and a fan wants all the above you have listed to make you happy. You are starting to sound rather patronising now. I’...

Re: Can we reach 30 goals this season?

Re: Can we reach 30 goals this season?
Probably not but as long as we stay up who cares, it's points that matter not goals. And we're more than capable of eking out a few 1-0 victories if needed. Ah that’s fine then. So we have got a few 1-0 grind out the result performances to look forward to, several stink the place out performances l...

Can we reach 30 goals this season?
With 21 games left to play and only having registered 9 goals this season I think reaching 30 goals will be a tall order. We managed 43 last season. 30 of those goals came from our 4 recognised front men with only 11 from the rest of the squad. This season our strikers have only netted 4 times. I kn...

“After all, fans weren't hoping that the takeover would go through just so Garlick could bank some dosh. ”
Sadly that is all that has happened. Garlick has had a major return on his investment, nothing will materialise in this window and our club is now in debt. Happy Days.
