Totally agree with the above…. If say we had mee and Tarks at the back we’d be nowhere near the bottom

I'm not convinced Mee and Tarkowski would look so good in this set-up.

Quicknick

Thanks for that. Tremendous goal. Decent match, as well.

Quicknick

It needed Duncan Ferguson lurking upstairs.

Quicknick

Blackburn and Leeds lose. That's enough for me.

We must never confuse silky skills and gliding with a crunching tackle when needed. Dobbo the man. Berge bit of a wuss. As are most players nowadays.

Crunching tackles: how about Colin Blant?

Dobbo never lost a tackle!

He glided around much like Berge does. That was my point, Ian.

Quicknick

Ahhh dear dear Sander A tall elegant chap , rather athletic in his physique, does a lot of running whilst on the pitch . Probably a good type all round . Good manners lets the opposition players have ball before him as he doesn’t want to hurt any of the chaps from the other side by putting his foot...

Keyboard slip of finger to next letter! As you say, probably pronounced the same!

Cheers, Ian. I realised after I posted my comment. It looks good spelled that way, though.

Quicknick

Glad he's not going. Work on his fitness and get him back to the form he was in early in the season. Had he not been out, we may not be in the relegation zone.

Quicknick

I'd like us to sign him.

Xaroury was just a bit too early for his own good.

Interesting spelling, Ian. I suppose it would be pronounced the same.

Quicknick

Let's do a Newcastle!

Quicknick

Good article. I didn't go. I did go to the 4-0 defeat in '84. Big fearsome following that day, most in festive spirit and fancy dress and full of beer.

we won't get 9 wins, but we will get a boat load next season in the Championship and come back a lot better for it

Assuming we keep our best players. I could see a lot wanting to leave. But where to could be the stumbling block for them.

Quicknick

This season Chris has started just 6 PL games for Forest and come on as sub in 11 games, one of which he was on the field for just 6 minutes and scored the winner. In total he has played 641 minutes and scored 7 goals with 1 assist ---none of them were penalties. Equivalent of 7 games plus 11 minut...

Pope
Trippier
Tarks
Mee
Maatsen
McNeil
Berge
Brownhill
Koleosho
Tella
Wood

A very good side, but Maatsen? Not sure about Tella, either.

Quicknick

Not a good day for us all round.

Quicknick

Always good to see Leeds lose.

Strikers who regularly score double figures in a premier league season are very rare... Wood was one of them.

Indeed. The best striker we have had in years.

Quicknick

Wood is still a very good player.

Five goal legend Chris Wood, showing nice respect for Newcastle there by not celebrating.

Why is it showing respect? He's a Forest player now.

Of course toon win is better for us but doesn’t mean it’s not a very very soft penalty.

I agree. Soft indeed.

Quicknick

1-0. Can't say it bothers me if the pen was dodgy.

Quicknick

The first match I ever went to was in 1963: Burnley 4 Fulham 0.

Quicknick

He looks one hell of a player.

Best players? How many of those have we got that we could sell for any profit, or at least what we paid for them?

Not many, if any. But if we have to sell, and I don't know whether we will have to, we would have to sell for a loss.

That's the spirit.

Quite possibly as we will lose our best players. How could we afford to keep them. Any way, I said IF we go down. We may not yet.

Quicknick

If we go down, I think we'll be midtable next season.

Quicknick

Obviously still enjoys playing which is good to see.

Quicknick

Posted in error. See above.

Nick - I think relegation was the following season (1970-71)? Serious pre-season injuries (just after Mexico Workd Cup) to Mellor, Dobson and another player (?) severely weakened our young squad. Tony Waiters was called into play as goalkeeper for that season and did well but was past his best by t...

I am co pletely gobsmacked that so many people are bordering on looking forward to relegation!

Whee were all these people in 21/22 when so many fans turned against Dyche in the threat of relegation?

That happened later in the season. I suspect the crowd will turn on Kompany at some point.

Looking at the league table, not one single team has reached that 40 point safety number!

That means we are all in the 'unsafe' zone. Let's show them all that We are Burnley, from the North and not going south!

Scottish optimism, Ian.

Quicknick

It all makes you wonder what would have happened to Kompany's managerial career if we'd stayed up two years ago and he'd joined us then.

Quicknick

Quite probably. And even though the Championship is a much lower standard, it won't be easy to get back up.

I'd love a bit of a Dyche/Kompany hybrid.

Hopefully Kompany will evolve into this.

I only realised after two fines (being over by a week) YOU DO NOT NEED A LICENSE in higher education. Universities buy a license that covers all there students… you don’t need one for your address.

That's interesting. I didn't know it.

Quicknick

As stated above I was being sarcastic because some posters keep telling us to stay positive because we just can't compete and £100 million is nothing so should just accept relegation and 'come back up', for some very strange reason some posters believe the new ownership is about building a squad to...

Of course we'd still be in the relegation zone regardless of manager or how the £100 million was spent, have you seen the gap these days and how much the league has grown in 12 months? NO championship team can ever compete

All in 12 months?

Quicknick

As someone above said, give SD 100 million to play with, and he'd keep us up. We wouldn't be anywhere near the bottom now.

Just seen this. Apologies. I couldn't understand what you were saying, but that was because I thought SU's manager was called Hegingbottom.

Quicknick

Maybe SD was so much cleverer than what we gave him credit for - he "never attempted" to sign players that could change our style around and is that because he knew we never had the money to buy the quality required in EVERY position to properly change the style AND obviously get the results requir...

I meant, got the winner.
