Tbh I think I'd be more likely to renew in the Championship. Can anyone honestly say they'd be looking forward to watching another season like this?

Yeah great idea. We've finally got a winger with real natural talent, flair and the ability to beat a man. Let's convert him into George Boyd.

jrgbfc

Ben Mee just as much to blame if not more for me.

jrgbfc

It was really poor today. We created nothing, the subs were wrong, the defending was brainless. We gifted Liverpool goals last week and we gifted Leicester two today. We'll go down if we continue in that vein. Its time to get Gibson in for Tarkowski. It's time to give Vydra a proper chance. It's ti...

I'm not bothering. I'll probably still end up going to most games but can't face another year of Dycheball whether we're in the Prem or the Championship. Suppose part of is wanting to send a message to the Board, no matter how small it is.

Not a chance in hell of Dyche walking away from his 3.5 million quid a year deal! Can't see anyone else coming in for him either so think he'll be with us for a while yet.

jrgbfc

If Dyche has to think on his feet or react to something he is absolutely clueless. And that is why he'll never progress beyond Burnley.

jrgbfc

Especially with a big lumbering centre back like Morgan. Was crying out for Vydra.

jrgbfc

Yeah it's obviously Brady's fault that Ben Mee isn't good enough to deal with a simple pass on his favoured foot.

jrgbfc

I'll tell you what i want. To buy some players that can have am actual impact on the first team. Gibson, Vydra, Hart and Crouch cost 30 million in fees and countless millions in wages and have all contributed four fifths of **** all. Our recruitment team and Dyche have let us down. Gibson and Vydra...

jrgbfc

Sunday league stuff throwing on Crouch to try and change a game. Vydra has every right to be royally ****** off.

jrgbfc

Might need a dinghy when it comes to exiting the cricket field stand today!

jrgbfc

Am a bit more confident in these weather conditions. Anything that makes it a horrible, scrappy game suits us down to the ground. I don't think we'll get beat, might just nick it today 1 nil.

jrgbfc

I didn't expect us to beat them, but we should have given ourselves the best chance! Throwing in a keeper who hadn't played for nearly a year behind a centre back pairing who'd played together once before for a tough away game spoke volumes about Dyche's priorities.

jrgbfc

We got beat with a team who have regularly played in the champions league. We were the underdogs and we went as far as we were expected to. That’s the way it “turned out”. It was still a “once in a life time experience” for many of our fans. For some it was a twice in a life experience after thinki...

jrgbfc

However people try and dress it up we wasted a once in a lifetime chance to have a go in a European competition. You can't blame people for being frustrated the way it turned out.

jrgbfc

What did we need? Are you able to predict injuries, loss of form etc? What about the squad size? Well we knew Defour and Brady were injured and JBG picked up a knock at the World Cup. In midfield we were pretty much down to the bare bones for the Europa League, hence Taylor having to play left midf...

Why didn't they make any serious attempt to strengthen our squad then?

Playing in a cup game once every blue moon is not my idea of fun and it's probably not Pope's either...it's about playing EVERY game for your club. He'd get a lot more games as Arsenal's reserve keeper than staying as ours though, and earn more money. If he moves to one of the big boys he'll have t...

jrgbfc

No one is going to pay 30 million for Pope. We're then stuck with an unhappy member of the squad. Say for example the Arsenal rumours are true, that would be pretty much the perfect move for him. He's a Southern lad, and even if he goes as number 2 he'd get to play plenty of games in the cup competi...

As good as he's been for us I'd be tempted to release him this summer.

He went as our third choice keeper! 15 million tops.

I was in there on a Friday night a few weeks back and it was really quiet. Blame it on the young uns who either don't go out anymore or drink at home till midnight then go out.

Hard to see anyone wanting to take on a pub in Burnley town centre these days with the way the nightlife in town has deteriorated. Might end up with another poncey cocktail bar like Illuminati the way things are these days.

:D :D Jesus you take negative and whinging to a whole new level. You mean the money that goes into PSG isn't obscene or Real Madrid or Bayern ? Pretty sure Bayern are fan owned, if they aren't they definitely have some kind of say. Bit different to the likes of City and Chelsea selling their soul t...

jrgbfc

Don't think having 4 English teams in the last 8 is anything to be proud of really, just shows the obscene amount of money that is flowing through the Premier League compared to the other leagues in Europe.

Hard to say really. Going off our away followings this season I'd say you'd be OK but Bournemouth is a game where plenty of people will have planned on making a weekend of it.

jrgbfc

It helps when you are bankrolled by dirty foreign money and basically cheat the fair play rules like City have done.

I don't know, even if he only serves about 4 weeks it might mean him losing his job, assuming he works of course. I'd say that's a pretty big deterrent.

jrgbfc

The players are out there, the problem lies with either our scouting system, or Dyche's stubbornness. Another summer whingeing about how difficult the market is isn't an option now, we simply have to strengthen.

jrgbfc

This season I think we're about where we should be, last season was a complete freak.

What are you basing that on? Feel sorry for the lad really, Crouch coming in and being ahead of him in the pecking order must be a real slap in the face.

jrgbfc

He hasn't been great this year, but the poor bloke must be knackered. He's pretty much been an ever present for us since the start of last season due to our lack of options/Dyche's inflexibility.

jrgbfc

Ben Mee and Cork are clearly undroppable. Even when there's a ready made replacement for Ben Mee already at the club.

jrgbfc

Our only 2 players who looked like they belonged at this level today.

jrgbfc

I'm not sure we're that much better than Cardiff tbh. It might just come down to who wants it more.

jrgbfc

With hindsight probably yes. Although to be fair at the time I thought 1800 would probably be about right given it's on TV and a stupid kick off time. We struggled to sell 3 thousand last season there for a Saturday afternoon game.

jrgbfc

Bit of a shame it starts on a Sunday rather than Saturday. I'll be tempted to have a drive up if on the Sunday if it's dry.

jrgbfc

We need to face reality that at this level we're a poor side. Apart from the 7 game unbeaten run we've looked miles away all season. Our failure to strengthen last summer has well and truly caught up with us.

jrgbfc

If Southampton manage to get a winner today will have been a disaster!

jrgbfc

We can't be relying on other teams. If we want to stay up we need to get ourselves up to 40 points.

jrgbfc

Cardiff winning. Fancied them today against the soft touch West Ham.

jrgbfc

At least we've had some kind of contribution from Defour. What will Walters be on, 20-30k a week for 2 years that we may as well have flushed down the toilet.

jrgbfc

Won't necessarily be easy to move him on. Don't think there'll be a host of clubs queuing up to take him and he may choose to sit out the last year of his no doubt decent contact.

jrgbfc

Is Mooy suited to playing for us though? Dyche wants runners/grafters ahead of footballers.

jrgbfc

I think Billing would be a great signing for us, just what we're missing, a big, strong athlete in the middle of the park.

jrgbfc

Had the perfect opportunity to give him a chance after the Everton debacle on Boxing Day, when Ben Mee should have been dropped along with Hart for me. It's ridiculous the lack of opportunity some of our new signings get, must be pretty demoralising turning up to training day in day out knowing you ...

People have complained that we didn't recruit in the last two windows, but I think it is more the case that we couldn't recruit. We need players who can compete at Premier League level and it is so difficult to sign such players. I would say that Bowen and Cairney are both out of our reach because ...

That lucky win down at Cardiff is looking absolutely massive now!
