Pope 7 couple of good saves Bardsley 6 a bit rash at times prefer Lowton Tarks 7 solid Mee 7 great tackle in first half to stop a certain goal but maybe at fault for 2nd goal. Would need to see again so benefit of the doubt 7 rather than 6 Taylor 7 a couple of Super balls in today and generally defe...

Not been for a while but you used to be able to turn up and pay about £3 to use the track. You ran ring TEL: 01282 661616 to check. The gym at the track seems to be open until 9 so imagine the lights will be on until 9. What sort of running do you do?

Flat Stanley

Thought he was superb first half but not great second half. The ball was not sticking up front and coming back too easily. Would have made the change earlier.

Was a little boring but that seems to be how we have to play to win. You can tell from the lack of atmosphere at times it was not the most exciting. Was quite a cagey affair with two well set out teams but we just did enough to win I thought. We are a good team but we are not that far off being a gr...

The disappointing thing for me was the soft second goal. We were still doing ok until then but Mee hardly seemed to get off the ground and it was game over. Was not disappointed to lose but extremely disappointed we didn't even manage 1 shot on target. Our ball retention today was appalling, general...

Pope 6 Not sure if he should have been quicker off his line for the goal but to be fair probably expected Mee to deal with it comfortably. Flapped at a couple Lowton 6 didn't offer much going forward and we needed it against 10 men when were struggling to break them down Mee 6 bad mistake for the go...

Flat Stanley

Thought we were pretty poor really. No guile in the final third, no penetration. Playing against 10 men surely spread the play and you get wingers wide, double up with the full backs and try to get crosses in from behind them instead of the easy to defend balls into the box from 30 to 40 yards out. ...

Flat Stanley

There was contact but went down far too easy. Deserved booking

Flat Stanley

Never doubted him. What a man, a proper defender, built like a brick **** house. We still desperately need another centre half to fill in should Mee or Tarks get injured or suspended. Playing with fire not getting another in, really silly not to get someone in the transfer window and we will be very...

Pope 7 not a lot to do but generally did it well. One early on he dropped but ok after that Lowton 7 solid Mee 7 looked vulnerable early on but grew into the game and was his usual solid self Tarks 9 superb better than Keane Ward 9 fantastic attacking play. Nice to see competition for places playing...

Richard the Lionheart. Starved the country to death to fund his silly religious crusades!

Flat Stanley

Hendrix out for Westwood with Defour playing the advanced role for me too. Think that would work nicely and would be a well balanced midfield.

Really not sure how Hendrix and Arfield kept their places after the Leeds game ahead of JGB.

Flat Stanley

Pope 6 Poor kicking at times, one good save Lowton 6 Average. Didn't offer much going forward not helped by the fact there was rarely anyone wide ahead of him Mee 5 worst game of a while, poor distribution at times. Please at least put free headers in the vicinity of one of our players. Tarks 6 Aver...

Seems like a bit of fun this. I Remember Linford Christie used to get upset about the Sun publishing photos labelled Linfords lunch box or something to that effect. He was ****** off that he was the best sprinter in the world and rather than give him credit all they were bothered about was making fu...

Flat Stanley

Definitely need a centre back and a winger with a bit of pace. Wish we could have got Dwight Gale instead of Wells (if we do sign him). Wood and Gale together would be exciting. Agree defence is weaker and we need cover. In terms of wide players Walters can play there and I'm sure Taylor could if ne...

Flat Stanley

He had a great game overall. Yes he lost his man for at least one of the goals but was totally dominant in the first half. People gave Ben Mee a free pass when he was making mistakes and giving away goals and we should give Tarks the same chance. There is a great player in there he just needs time t...

At his best I would go with Bale as he is almost unstoppable and very exciting to watch. However, there are players who have done it far more consistently for a long period of time. Giggs, scholes, Gerrard, Lampard and Shearer all better for me because of that

Flat Stanley

Thought Darikwa was excellent when he first came into the team. Remember him gettin a few MOTM awards early. He was exciting going forward and created a few goals including the one for Vokes at Leeds. Lowton was lucky to get his place when he got fit. Darikwa had been excellent up to that point. Def...

Thanks for the responses. Looks like points have been added and I don't have enough points to buy a ticket on Monday but I know someone who is not going who does so hopefully will get a ticket.

I have about 4600 loyalty points showing at the moment. Just wondered if this includes points for renewing my season ticket. When do points get updated? Also are they sending new season ticket cards out? I have not had mine yet. I was hoping to get tickets for the Chelsea game on Monday but won't be...

Not just a Burnley expression but definitely northern is Pictures instead of Cinema. My mate came up to visit from London and had to ask my wife to repeat it 3 times before I explained what it meant.

Ecky Thump as an expression of surprise or astonishment is another good northern one.

Flat Stanley

Oh to have Austin and Tripper back. What a combo! Imagine those two added to the current squad, we could definitely be top half.

Definitely Maybe is a great album, one of my favorites, but people keep saying there is not one bad track on it.

Irrelevant whether Labours maths are correct. They have no chance of getting into power. What people need to decide is do they want a functional effective opposition that is going to oppose and put scrutiny on some of the Tories worse policies or do they want to see Labour wiped off the map and give...

Sounds like a load of nonsense to me. Seen Defour interviewed and he does not come across as a stupid man. Very much doubt he expects the club to chose him over Dyche. All the stuff about body language is nonsense too he always looked the same ever since he arrived it's just the way he is. He seemed...

Been poor lately and lucky to have a place in the team after recent weeks but was absolutely brilliant in that game. Back to his bothersome best with a goal threat to boot.

Yeah staff have input but Dyche has the final say. It's a Mangers job to surround himself with good people, listen well and make good decisions based on all the information you have. Doubted the team selection but we were magnificent today. I have been critical of some of the football this season wh...

I agree Gray was better than Barnes today. Barnes had a very poor game.
