We could really do with an international break

JohnDearyMe

The whole team looked a bit tired and we picked up another injury. Makes the decision to rest players in the cup last week look a bit more sensible.

Pope 6
Lowton 6
Taylor 6
Long 7
Tarks 8
Jbg 5
Dwight 5
Cork 6
Westwood 7
Jay 7
Barnes 6

Brady 3
Brownhill 6

I take it the Euros are going to be played behind closed doors then?

I also wonder if they'll need to be moved to one country rather than having teams flying back and forth across Europe for large parts of it.

JohnDearyMe

Other than Jimmy Hill, who are the players on the front cover?

JohnDearyMe

Well they are certainly long overdue a win at the Turf...

1-2

Didn't he also get a decent goal in a 2-1 win in front of 30+k Burnley fans once too?

Haha i almost made reference to that world class toe bung!

It was a great goal, but there would be a lot of contenders for that title.
Brennan at Anfield
Laws at Chesterfield
Ward at Chelsea

I'm sure there will be lots of other contenders as well.

Let's say they are all brilliant

Gary Parkinson scored a great goal at Grimsby in a 2-2 draw.

"a few questions marks in the week after I made a lot of changes, which I don’t always do, but we keep losing players with injuries and the players give us a lot. “I felt it was important to make those changes and today it paid us back because I thought the energy levels of the side were terrific a...

Perhaps when Roy retires he could be employed on a consultancy basis, by some of the big clubs. A few lessons in graciously and respectfully accepting defeat, whilst complementing the opposition are definitely in order for too many managers. Well said. Far too many managers of those teams are often...

Mee will be back before Pieters imo. Pieters, a player I didn't rate before this season started, but I've been very glad he's on the squad.

Pieters has been an extremely shrewd addition to the squad

Mr Meee will be tuning into this one if you are interviewing his all time hero the electric boogaloo.

Does Tony consider himself to have been the "scouse Makelele" as Mr Mee often called him?

Ours gets pretty bad each season but it stood out when the cameras zoomed in on Saturday.

Wonder if they've reduced the number of staff who work on the upkeep of the pitch due to the pandemic?

Very enjoyable 2nd half

Didn't Peterborough have a few other high scoring centre forwards at the same time? Can't remember their names but i wonder if any of them went on to better things too?

Channel 4 need to bring back Transworld Sports

I always find Brighton to be a great away day but that's probably more down to it be it being such a vibrant area than the club itself. I can definitely see why some people view them as being a bit plastic

JohnDearyMe

JBG scored a great goal and was everywhere He is our top creator of chances and it was nice for him to score . Sky sports put up a stat early on in the game saying that Westwood had created most of our chances this season which surprised me. There's a chance JBG overtook him during the course of th...

Fair play to Dyche, those pre-match press conferences must be as dull as ditchwater

JohnDearyMe

Good to read.

Out of interest does anyone know if Rovers have brought through any/many academy players into their first team? Their academy seems to be well regarded

JohnDearyMe

Just read The Fortnight in September by RC Sheriff (of Journey's End fame) which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Very simple premise (a family's 2 week holiday) but very humane and contemplative.

That will also depend on which pubs do reopen.

Good point. Not that any of them have had it easy recently but the pubs near the Turf must have been particularly badly hit

JohnDearyMe

Good question. Wonder how it will affect people's pre-match routines too? Hard to imagine going into a packed pub for a good while yet

JohnDearyMe

I was at White Hart Lane for the 1st Leg and for 45 mins we played them off the park. Harry brought on Jamie O’Hara at half time who according to the Spurs fans had been struggling. He then, for 45 minutes only in his career, played like Ronaldo and we couldn’t cope. Which put us on the back foot f...

CT will confirm as I originally saw it from him but after we beat Arsenal I am sure now the only team we have not beaten during Dyche's era, who we have played, is Peterborough and we only played them once with Dyche in the 12/13 season and drew.

Thanks. That's a pretty impressive haul

Blake’s goal beat ManU at home. Yet to beat Arsenal at home in PL but that’s coming.

Sorry i meant during the time Dyche has been in charge.

JohnDearyMe

I was just about to post something similar and ask what are the landmark victories that still elude Dyche? Are there any teams we are yet to beat at all during his reign? I can only think of a need to beat Chelsea and Man Utd at home and Spurs and City away to give him the full set from amongst the ...

Got a ticket off a friends dad. We we were all in the pub and he didnt fancy going on as it was a nothing game, and the weather was poor. So he stayed in the Reedley, and I went on the game instead. I could sense it could be our night as we walked nearer ther the ground. So close, but still a great...

JohnDearyMe

It was great to see the reaction of the Spurs fans as the 90 minutes progressed. Of course they had the last laugh in extra time but they looked increasingly shell shocked as we went about reducing the deficit

Was the guy being arrested 93/94? I was at that game and thought it was later.

Interesting bit from his press conference today: when asked about the new on-line talent thing which I cannot name he showed little interest, saying basically "that's more for the recruitment people" Isn't this AI scouting thing not primarily for the youth and development team recruitment rather th...

The exit from the Spion Kip was a death trap. All the terrace exited by one bottle neck walkway at the side. Being shuffled along unable to move your arms. Was always relieved when I reached the exit gate as a young lad. Wonder how many Burnley fans were on the Kop at Blackpool for those derbies in...

JohnDearyMe

From memory I think someone messed up and it allowed them to take the lead last year. It might even have (uncharacteristically) been Taylor? Up to then we were well in the game and still had a shout right up to the very end when we were inevitably chasing a goal. Against these teams your little err...

JohnDearyMe

Since Robbie Blake's amazing winner against Man Utd have we managed to carve out any genuine goal scoring chances against them at home? Other than the shot from Jones that hit the bar from distance I'm struggling to think of any. Seems strange how flat we have generally been against them at home giv...

Is anyone surprised at this stage of Dyche's reign regarding our approach to cup games?

They are just a sideshow for him. Can't say I'm too bothered either

On JBG: "He's made real good progress, he's played a couple of reserve games and he's certainly in contention and in our thinking."

I hope he has better luck in this cup game if he plays and is spared a clattering

I can't imagine what Sheffield United were expecting. No tickets required ! The 'away end' on Bramhall Lane had 2 tiers with a seated upper level. The whole end was full way before kickoff and had a capacity of around 10,000. Another section had to be made available in the stand next to their home ...

JohnDearyMe

Mine would be the 2-2 draw away to Sheffield in the 90s. The ending was disappointing but at the time it was exciting to see us go in front against top flight opposition and the atmosphere in the away end was fantastic (despite the crush)

Hence my references over the past few weeks to having already got interests in Lancashire & also their reluctance re alcohol.

Wonder if they'll be frequenting the temperance bar in Rawtenstall, Mr Fitzpatricks? Might be why he has been house hunting in Rossendale?!

I'm interested to see whether the takeover will lead to us making signings earlier in the transfer window or whether we'll have to wait until the tail end
