I missed the hero in action. Just saw the kid dripping blood and stewards on the mike saying he was on his own and been attacked He was with what i presumed was wife and his dad (an old chap) outside cricket club entrance. Probably same jokers that bullied 2 greeks on leyland road after olympiakos.

i think the difference today was Vydra. He took the pressure off the wingers and gave us another dimension and something else for their defenders to think about. He was quick and the runs he was making were intelligent, and also he linked up with the others as if he had been here a while so he read...

The ground was half dull by the time it was full time.

Great win, and a much needed win.
Our season has started.

Couldnt believe that.

Also what a great finish....put his foot right though for power but composed enough to place it with his sidefoot. Little bit of class and composure we have been missing in that role. No offence meant to Hendrick who has been helping by putting in his all in an unfamiliar role Funnily enough i actu...

Absolutely right

cricketfieldclarets

Fantastic. Was everywhere.

cricketfieldclarets

Fantastic in front of goal today. Thats what happens when you shoot! Ironic thing is we didnt play THAT well. Weve dominated more and lost. Olympiakos at home too and drew. Lennon and JBG though were the difference. Huge today. And SDs subs too. winning 2 nil and still makes early subs. Everything c...

cricketfieldclarets

Lennon, Jbg and Vydra have all been top draw. And vokes has brought them all into play. Lowton too.

cricketfieldclarets

Just seen his press conference ahead of this weekend. Fair play to Dyche. He seems extremely relaxed, confident and absolutely aware of where the problems lie and how we need to address them. He doesn't seem fazed at all and his body language and manner suggest that if you didnt know any different t...

He simply wasnt terrible on the ball though. He was probably our most skilful player with easily the best touch (Defour aside). Just not the quickest.

OK

cricketfieldclarets

Hope it works out for him. Wasnt his fault it didnt work out here. Never spat his dummy out, always got his head down and got on with it. Saw us training a couple of times too and he always looked to be involved and hardworking (as they all do).

Precisely. And Arfield offered us flexibility accross and just in front of the midfield. He effectively offered us 3 or 4 different options.

cricketfieldclarets

But what could we have done to keep him here ? He probably thought it was the right time in his career to move on, and to the team he supports ? I mean in terms of replacement. Its akin to when we didnt get any back up on for Marney and Jones in case of injury. Which inevitably happened. This is ev...

He was quality against Dundee the other day. And yes I know it was Dundee. But if you get chance check out his assist in that game. Exceptional skill. Would have him here in a heartbeat. Knew the system. Worked his socks off. Wasnt without talent. The sad thing was we knew he was going in January ti...

Is anyone else a little concerned about the number of times newly employed players seem to be injured/unfit? I'm beginning to question our training techniques. It is cause for concern. Gibson with a Hernia - its obviously not an injury you get overnight. Vydra was injured when we signed him Hart wa...

Yep thats them.

No reason we couldnt or shouldnt beat them, especially at home.

Being a teenager is tough in itself. Never mind with all the pressures and stresses of expectation, fame and fortune.

Would hate to be a kid growing up in today's society and its only getting worse.

Despite our poor start and their good start. We should have more than enough to be beating Bournemouth!

cricketfieldclarets

He is critical to our success. But no way would I risk him this weekend. Maybe bring him on the bench as a confidence boost for the players and fans. But no. Bring him off the bench against Cardiff. MAYBE even Burton. To be honest its a travesty we are so reliant on such an injury prone player even ...

Paid approx £15 for a bottle of water (small bottle) in Ibiza 10 years ago. DJ Was Paul Taylor. £15 for a bottle of water after paying £40 or more in to watch a DJ from Burnley.

People still believe the hype about that place! Scary.

Rochdale. Although I have been there. Just not for a game.

One I havent even been to, despite being close to it most weeks is Gigg Lane.

To throw him in when we are struggling and fans questioning things could be foolish or could be a master stroke. Personally think Dyche has this right. The last thing he needs in his development is to be thrown into negative, losing environment. Expect to see him back in for Cardiff and Hudersfield ...

You know we were bad when the report is focused on 'what if the fireworks went the wrong way!'

The worry for me is that if we were to go down we will carry on dropping through the divisions. This may sound alarmist but if we drop Dyvhe will go. He will leave a squad that does not have much youth in it. Our better players will leave leaving us with a squad of mainly over 30s. The rebuild job ...

Taylor was visibly blowing out of his arse - early in the first half!!! Hands on hips. Looked like something you would see on a sunday up towneley. To say he is one of our younger players he is also very slow. When he first came in I was optimistic. He has done nothing to show he is better than what...

It doesn't help that folk are getting so carried away on what is basically 2 and a half games of football, though. United/Mourinho invariably win comfortably at Burnley, so we can park that one.

And who were these lads queueing up to join us ? Surely any agent worth their salt would have been touting his latest prodigy and making us an offer we couldn't refuse if we have so much appeal ?

As per deleted thread. We have zero pace. Zero creativity.

Even Dyche stalwarts like Barnes havent shown any of the club mantra minimum requirement maxium effort.

The cheap foreign players are cheap for a reason. Correct. They are. Because Burnley earn more money than Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven combined.
