Surely if West wood gets suspended then Hendrick will automatically take his place, with Lennon on the right. Hendrick may well move inside but I really can't see Lennon playing much (certainly starting many games) going forward. He's been on the bench most of this season but hardly ever been used ...

There is nothing to suggest that he should replace any of our midfielders.

I think Westwood has 4 yellow cards atm. He's highly likely to get another in the next couple of games I would suggest.

Jakubs Tash

Great news! Expecting a few of these stories over the next month or two hopefully....

Interesting that you have seen so much of him to know he is an outstanding prospect. Tell us a little more about him, jdrobbo?

Drinkwater played 90 mins

Jakubs Tash

Sheffield Utd did us on shape and game plan.

When we play them again it has to be 4-5-1 with wingers playing very wide and making the pitch big.

Could they not just say if it's too tight to call either give the benefit of the doubt to the attacking team and/or go with the on-field refs decision?

Do we even know how accurate these lines are that the VAR refs are working with?

Also thought the foul from westwood was a bit naughty and needless. Naughty, yes - and he got a yellow card. I wouldn't say it was needless....but that can be debated. Westwood certainly didn't mean to injure the player and, a bit like the Son/Gomes incident last week, the injury makes his foul see...

Cheers - that was my point. Not sure why after so many years people think it would be different with Mike Rigg.

They have a cracking scouting network - we dont I think you're being a bit extreme. Brentford's scouting network has been quite good for them, yes. But they are still a mid table Championship team.

Jakubs Tash

Good suggestions. I like Brentford - they seem to have the beating of any team in the league when they turn up. Saw them against Leeds at the back end of last season and they played them off the park. Yeah I agree, Brentford have been an intriguing team for a few years now. Clearly very good at une...

Dyche has clearly been targeting an upgrade at Right Back for a while now....and quite right. So I think defence is one of the priorities.

Whilst it's good that you don't take one for the sake of it, it's a shame that despite having a disability of your own you don't empathise with others who may find that their non-mobility based disability does mean that a blue-badge helps them manage that disability. There's good examples in this t...

Bogle could be an interesting one..... SD doesn't seem to stray too far from his favourite targets. We were in for him last January. He's young, British and is a strong Championship option. Derby don't look like they are going to push for promotion this season. He's just got back fit and playing aga...

Ok - so it's a non story because IMO he's doing it to raise his profile. I don't like the guy and anything he ever does is for his benefit, and his benefit only.

Interesting, didn't hear about that. Wonder if it was the transfer fee or wages that were the barrier then for the board? Article from September 2019.....

Made a point on another thread that Mike Rigg has been in post for almost a year. Hope we don't have any more excuses about him settling in. He needs to put forward a number of viable options that will upgrade the starting eleven Didn't Dyche say that Rigg gave him plenty of options and he wanted t...

It's a pretty unpleasant experience following Burnley away sometimes due to some absolute numb skulls. Also had an incident during a home match recently where a supporter left as we went 3-0 down v Chelsea and as he passed an elderly fan they said something along the lines of "yeah, off you go&...

Bowen from Hull is a great shout.

A quick forward.

An upgrade in CM.

A right back.

Not sure it'll all happen in January but this is what we require.

For what it's worth, I think Chris Wilder is an excellent manager. He's done brilliantly at Sheff Utd and Northampton before that. I also used the phrase 'out fought and out thought' (as someone else did above) about yesterday. I think we were. And when we play poorly we look extremely one dimension...

Can't see Wood playing if this is the case. And Bardsley has spent most of this week in London according to his Instagram so doubt he's going to make it either.

Tall Paul wrote:Why aren't the "tactical fouls" that Man City do a lot of, where they deliberately stop opponents breaking from their own half, downright cheating?

Because it's a physical/contact sport.

And it isn't just Man City who do this. Everybody does it - including Burnley.

Jakubs Tash

Sometimes a foul is a good foul - it's part of the game. Diving when not even touched is cheating.

I saw nothing in the 35 minutes Vydra had on the pitch last night to suggest he could be worth a start. I was willing him to have an effective appearance when he came on....but he didn't.

Jakubs Tash

Brady was very bright. Played a couple of neat reverse passes for the late goals.

I actually think he could be effective playing as a no 10. He can be effective when he's in the middle of the pitch rather than stuck out wide where, for a winger, he sometimes looks uncomfortable and cramped for space.

Jakubs Tash

Jay Rodriguez is NOT a right sided player. If he has to play off one side, it's the left so he can cut in. That's the side he played on for us in his first spell and also the side he played so successfully for Southampton. On the right hand side he neither use nor ornament.

I get all that - but what’s the relevance of his salary ? Nobody has planned what happened - it’s just unfortunate.

We probably have £500k a week spent on players who are not getting a kick of the ball. It’s the way it is. The club can’t win. Fans were wanting a centre midfield player - we got an experienced one on loan. It hasn’t turned out as we want it yet....and the players wages and how much it has cost the...

Jakubs Tash

Excluding a loan fee, Chelsea usually charge a loan fee too, unless we're paying a percentage of his wages. Either way I bet your 500k guess is close, if not under our outlay on him so far. Yeah, of course....good point. I'm sure there is a loan fee too. To be fair, my 'guess' came from reading rep...

He's been with us 10-11 weeks now. It is believed and has been widely reported that Burnley are paying for £50,000 of his weekly wage (which also sounds like a reasonable figure to assume). I managed to add it up without using a calculator too!
