None of us know who might be part of any future investment with our new owners. Probably best to stop worrying about it and give them a bit of time to see what they do for the club. Give the new owners (who passed the extremely strict and thorough fit and proper Premier League requirements) longer ...

Isn't this AI scouting thing not primarily for the youth and development team recruitment rather than the first team squad?

Yes, I don’t think it’s got anything to do with senior recruitment.

Jakubs Tash

I honestly have no clue or how you can tell. Regardless the other two sources are as good as gets for Burnley I thought it was just obvious....Forest fans on the wind up! They probably thought nobody would be gullible enough to believe that a young Irish footballer’s brother who was also his agent ...

Apparently his agent has said Burnley have been in contact with him. So that’s now three different sources saying something along the same lines.
Would suggest there is something in it.

Agent?? Do you mean the Forest fan on Twitter with the same surname who is pretending to be his agent?!

Jakubs Tash

Monnington

Farrell, Duff, Mee, Branch

Weller, Jakub, Spicer, Eyres

Jones (Steve), Lafferty

Duff selected on the basis of his one (disastrous) game up front v Reading at home

(And his 5+ at centre half and right back)

EDIT - Manager = Adrian Heath

Jason O’Connor has said we are one of the front runners for Jason Knight

Let's see. This has a familiar feel to it whereby we show an early interest but then usually can't compete. Hopefully this won't be the case this time around.

Jakubs Tash

Why would they postpone a press conference because we were signing someone?

Jakubs Tash

I'd hoped we might be in a position where we are able to sign one or two of the top Championship players that could come straight in and improve us, but the only links are with younger players with limited experience, so I'm coming around to the idea that we're probably going to be looking at signi...

Jakubs Tash

Baah scored two - his other goal was very decent too!

Also, a stunning 4th goal last night scored by Humphrys from a free kick.

Jakubs Tash

Anyone thinking we can get Siggurdson, is on a different planet I did mention that I "wildly suggested" it.... The reason I suggested it is because Everton signed others for his preferred position (centre mid/no 10) and logically they couldn't all play (Delph also in the same category) so there wou...

Jakubs Tash

At the time of the substitution we were being over-run, our two forwards weren't making the ball stick up there and Man Utd were controlling the game and pushing us further back. At that time I thought it would have been wiser to take off one of the forwards and put Dwight in a central/no 10 role. A...

Jakubs Tash

Everton fans do tend to have a rather inflated idea of their team Absolutely, this ^^^^^^^ Back in October, I wildly suggested on Twitter that Gylfi Siggurdsson would be a brilliant signing for us if he wasn’t going to play many games for Everton and LOADS of Everton fans came back and said “you ca...

Personally, I thought he was costing us. He played his last league game at Middlesbrough just before Christmas after which Lowton came in. Maybe the Championship was just a step too far for him. Would agree with that. I was never a fan of Darikwa - he always seemed so indecisive and lacked quality....

Jakubs Tash

Don't know much about Kenny but he's only 23, and looks fast, energetic and aggressive from youtube clips. If we can get him in a decent deal then I'd be happy to give him the break he perhaps needs.

Jakubs Tash

Dyche says We have four covid casualties,no names though. Reading between the lines, Dunne, Long and BPF must have been 3 of them - all 3 would definitely have been involved at the weekend, I'm sure. So that would mean one of Westwood/Brownhill was rested/injured and one was positive. I would guess...

According to the Daily Mail, Burnley have Swedish international attacker Robin Quaison on their radar in the January transfer window as Sean Dyche looks to bolster his misfiring attack

Literally nothing on Twitter about this which is very unusual.

Jakubs Tash

Crazy idea......but play a different shape? As others have said, maybe the answer to the a few issues (creativity, ball retention etc) might be to play extra midfielders (and add pace out wide).

Jakubs Tash

I wasn’t overly impressed by any of their players today. On another day we would have won that game comfortably. They weren’t very good.

I agree with you to a large degree about Benson, but he is a young inexperienced player that might come good. What I've seen so far does not warrant th e praise he has has on this board. I don't think he has been overly praised....perhaps some posters are trying to be positive and encouraging but h...

Jakubs Tash

Many great FA Cup memories - mainly from the late 80s/early 90s - others have mentioned most of them already. Derby County away - the epic home draw, the abandoned fog game and the rearranged replay with incredible chanting. Sheff Utd away - Over 9,000 away supporters. Unreal!! Shrewsbury Town away ...

Jakubs Tash

Seen him probably three times this season. Not a lot I know but he was great each time I saw him. Pace, dribbling ability and the area he has improved on his final ball. You're right that there are certainly some rough diamonds out there in League One and Two. Hopefully, with a little but more fina...

Do you just go round every thread disagreeing with people ?

No.

Jakubs Tash

Correct, the same as when I saw Tarks come on against Arsenal as a 70th minute (around there) sub. After a few minutes I realised he was class. I suppose its about the individuals eye. You either have an eye or you don't. Lets see where he ends up. We will re-open this when he's playing non league....

Jakubs Tash

I’m going to throw another name into the hat. This is the type of player Brentford would sign and sell on for 20-30 mil a season later. Siriki Dembélé At Peterborough. He’s really flourishing the season in league one and could see a championship club picking him for next to nothing. How many times ...

Jakubs Tash

Duncan Watmore has signed an extension with Boro until summer 2023. Good for him - showing some faith with a club who gave him a chance after his injuries.

Hopefully our targets shifted slightly from Watmore after the takeover went through.

Jakubs Tash

Leisure that's a good point and to be serious I have seen him only twice. Both times apparently not in his correct position. However we were asked for the Burnley teams marks after the game with Sheff United. I scored him purely on him playing right side mid and on that game! So that's it really I ...

Jakubs Tash

Why would anyone bother paying attention to that list?

Jakubs Tash

I like Snodgrass. Good player, good character and his work rate is that of someone who would naturally fit a Sean Dyche team. However, he’s 33 I think. Maybe if it had been a loan to the end of the season with no commitment beyond that it might have been ok but it comes across as a bit of a desperat...

Jakubs Tash

I can't recall the player's name but Jakubs Tash is definitely right about Peterborough being a bogey team. We beat them 4-1 in April 1991 and it was the first time we'd ever beaten them. We lost in the League Cup in 1966 but then went 11 league games without a win against them from 1985 up to that...

Are you thinking of Noel Luke? Player called Blake equalised for Cardiff City when we beat them 3-1 at home at the end of the promotion season, 91-92.

That's him!! Noel Luke.

Yes, Blake was a decent player - played for Cardiff, Bolton and Rovers amongst others.

Jakubs Tash

Peterborough seemed to be a bogey team for a while in the late 80s/early 90s and they had a full back (Blake?) who seemed to terrorise us. My memory may be playing tricks though...

Not a rumour or link but whatever happened to Alfie Mawson? By all accounts we were very close to signing him when he chose Fulham at the last minute but barely seemed to feature there.

I think he joined Bristol City on loan in the summer window.

Glennon to start. And I’ve a weird feeling Mancini will too

Whilst I would like to see some of the younger players start, I just don't think it's realistic when there are seasoned pros who NEED game time. Would be amazed if Mancini starts before Stephens or Cork. He might be on the bench.

Jakubs Tash

If that doesn't sound like a Burnley squad player.... No doubt that he ticks a lot of boxes. But we already have a lot of industry......and miss the guile, ability to retain possession and or go past opposing players. We could really do with something a bit different. But he would certainly be a ve...

He strikes me as a very achievable signing who would help bring genuine competition in the middle

I think, similar to Hendrick, he can play centrally but is more effective playing the right hand side and putting a shift in. More industry than guile.

Jakubs Tash

Yes. There’s only one team called Newcastle in the Premier League. I’m curious as to why the other poster thinks that we are one of the 5 teams in the relegation mix, but a team with just 3 points more at this stage of the season isn’t. Agree. Not a shoe-in I know, but if we had played Fulham and w...

Jakubs Tash

I'm all for good communication but Pace has made a bit of a rod for his own back here. I've seen an incredible amount of tweets directed to him about who we should be signing etc. Imagine it might not be as pleasant in a few weeks after some defeats.

Totally forgot about Stephens. He definitely needs to start so him in, instead of Jack , then let Jack come on for 25 minutes

It’s more important to us that Cork gets minutes over Benson. I’d try and give Cork 65/70 mins.

Lewis O'Brien is 22yo according to Wiki

Edit- Jason Knight at Derby is the 19yo

Yeah, I was out by smidge. O’Brien was 21 when we were first linked with him. Knight is 20 next month. Both central midfielders and both certainly the right profile to be targeting imo.

Might be wrong but I think he has started something like 19 of the 23 games. Worth noting he’s only just broke into the team at back end of last season. Only said that because I have watched Reading a few times on the tv this season and not noticed him and the 2 or 3 times I have checked if he’s be...

Jakubs Tash

Maybe the lad O’Brien at Huddersfield. Linked in the summer and back playing 90 minutes every game now after an injury earlier in the season. Only 20 years old I think.

Jakubs Tash

Christie and McGregor at Celtic look good players. As does the Rangers right back, Tavernier. He has got ridiculous stats (goals and assists) for a full back.

Jakubs Tash

I got mocked when I suggested his name the other day. Apparently according to some people we have no chance bc rumours are some big clubs want him. Would be ideal on the right with Dwight 9n the left. Rapid, direct, can take a good free kick and only about 19 Broke in to reading squad end if last s...

Jakubs Tash

What does it mean? What is our “Next Level”? We’ve had two top 10 finishes in the last three years and appeared in Europe. We’re in the same division as United, City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Everton, Wolves and Leicester - which of those nine could we expect to supplant in the next few ...

Jakubs Tash

That’s a good point - surely a few struggling this window. I do wonder though, how many actually have players that would give us what we need - players that would improve our first team? Can only be 10 or so Championship players that would immediately improve us, and they tend to all be at clubs ba...
