The ball is slap bang in Garlick’s court.

He needs to be doing everything he can to get Dyche back on side and planning for next season.

Amen to that

JohnDearyMe

Please take note Mr Garlick.

Would be utter madness to lose Dyche

SD's performance is there for all to see...Rigg's ? Not so obvious..

Exactly, seems very surreal

Pieters looked comfortable on Thursday, a natural footballer, as you'd expect of the Dutch.
Cahill and Milejovic are big strong lads in the air. If Jay isn't playing, I'd play 2 fast little uns, and keep the ball on the deck.

I thought Pieters looked quite assured too when he came on

JohnDearyMe

I dont see why Rigg can't use the top scouts. They must have a long list of top talent, that the likes of Man U, Chelsea are after, but they should also have a list of really good players that might suit a 'Burnley', but not good enough for the top 6. If they are out there touting top talent anyway...

JohnDearyMe

It can't be as simple as that though, because what "backing him" means is entirely subjective. If he wants to sign Harry Kane, then we shouldn't back him, because it would bankrupt the club. There have to be boundaries, and its Dyche job to push them and the board's job to try and maintain them, or...

JohnDearyMe

Said this a few times but not too sure we have the evidence to conclude its that way round, rather than a reasonable reluctance on the board's part to push the boat out beyond where they're comfortable. Of the players released this week who is in any way surprising is Hendrick and whilst none of us...

JohnDearyMe

Shame players like Koiki haven't signed a contract. Could have been a great opportunity for him to get some Premier League experience in the last few games (albeit in slightly surreal circumstances)

JohnDearyMe

I was surprised how little of a fight Watford put up tonight after we went one up

He's also playing out of position

What's his natural position?

JohnDearyMe

Pope 7
Lowton 7
Tarkowski 8
Mee 8
Taylor 7
Brownhill 7
Westwood 7
Cork 8
McNeil 7
Rodriguez 8
Vydra 7
Pieters 7

Great comeback after our struggles on Monday and a perfect illustration of why the chairman needs to back Dyche. The man has worked wonders for our club

JohnDearyMe

Great touch and lay off for the goal

JohnDearyMe

Good demonstration tonight of why the chairman should be backing Dyche to the hilt

JohnDearyMe

Excellent. Great response from Monday

JohnDearyMe

The positive feelings around the club off the back of our unbeaten run back in early March seem a world away

JohnDearyMe

Has Brady just picked up a minor injury?

Be a massive boost if they did both stay. Not least for the obvious reason that SD clearly wants them to stay, but also 2 extra bodies would be a massive help these next 8 games

Fingers crossed. Dyche deserves to be backed

JohnDearyMe

Well said ClaretTony. A desperately depressing and infamous night for the club

Brownhill is his replacement, I doubt we’re going to be spending 10-15m but I get what your saying , big pressure on young shoulders which isn’t ideal

Was Brownhill not Defour & Drinkwater's replacement?

Surely the fact that both Bardsley and Hendrick haven’t followed suit today is a sign that maybe they might have been offered something more than just a short end of season extension.

That's what i was hoping too

JohnDearyMe

Will be interesting to see how clubs outside the Champions League regulars approach their transfer and contract business this summer and how their approach differs or is the same as ours

JohnDearyMe

Hope that the board have been carrying out some work to get a replacement in asap if he does leave in the summer. Wonder who is on their shortlist?

They'll have big shoes to fill

JohnDearyMe

I start from just above the Summit but the first mile up to the Waggoners is the most difficult. I'm usually having to persuade myself to continue after that. If it is a straight walk up to the reservoir, round it and back, it's just under 5 miles. Depending on how I feel I add a bit to it, furthes...

New thread - three of my walk photographs but disturbing news this morning, I think someone has stolen Clowbridge, no sign of the place.

That's a good walk up Manchester Rd to Clowbridge whichever part of Burnley you start from

He's done well. How far off an automatic spot were they?

I seem to recall a cup game away at Anfield......Inchy in charge? Lost and barely went over the half way line........said that was the tactic just to keep the score down.....? Seem to remember Little being brought on very late on and he proceeded to cause Phil Babb a lot of trouble but as you say i...

Must admit I was but the one that surprised me even more was Mark Winstanley over 150.

Do you think Pender would have been a better bet than him in the Championship season under Mullen? Hard to recall now but we didn't really seem to strengthen with our signings

JohnDearyMe

Fully agree with the Watford Cup defeat; our approach to the game was shocking. I'd also have thr hammering at Ewood under Stan in there.

JohnDearyMe

Well, Tom had that offer for Villa and wasn't going to sign. Dyche did get it right, but he got it right 2 years earlier when we signed Pope and ensured we had a readily available cover for the position. Was just going to say what a sensational signing Pope was. How much did we pay for him? Can't h...

Would the facilities at the turf need a major upgrade? Handwashing facilities definitely would need improving.

Although I'm not sure what they can do about how cramped the concourses are.

JohnDearyMe

I never knew that Les Thompson was offered another deal. Wonder why he turned it down and dropped so many leagues? Don't remember him as being the best defender but sure he could have still done a job in the football league

JohnDearyMe

That's the problem, it's far more dangerous than reopening John Lewis and Primark, so why have they been told to reopen a week before, and why was it not in Doris's speech? Guessing it will vary from dentist to dentist with regards to their PPE stock but they should all be very well trained on the ...

If the players can't be in close proximity to each other in the dressing room, then how can they play a game of football ?

Think it's all because the dressing rooms are indoors; much greater chance of the spread of the virus in enclosed environments

JohnDearyMe

Good news if done safely. Lots of people have been living in agony because of the lack of dental services in recent months

Tommy played in the recent FA Youth Cup tie against us at their academy stadium. I knew he was Mike Doyle's grandson but someone told me that night that his other granddad was Glyn Pardoe.

There can't be many players who have had both grandfathers play professionally as well

JohnDearyMe

Interesting article. Did the other candidate mentioned; John Duncan go on to have a decent managerial career?

JohnDearyMe

Sunday Times have covered a big piece of work that has reviewed Johnsons failure in March to get on top of the virus. This is a massive read and dont expect it to make any ripples on here whilst the Cummings saga rolls on but once it dies sown im sure we'll be seeing this report broken down into mo...

Who knocked us out of the FA Cup that season and did we beat any teams from higher divisions in that run?

Teachers in "I don't want to go back to work" shock. Covid19 the next in a long line of reasons as to why they need/want more time off, better pay, better pensions etc. Anyone would think they're doing 12 hour shifts in a factory on minimum wage just to eat. Hand on heart don't think I'm aware of a...

We won four and drew two out of the next six but it all fell apart when Gray got injured. Even so, to go from 2nd in the league to 18 league games without a win was astonishing. Gray scored in the last win before that run, against Leeds. His next goal was in the first win that ended the run, a 4-0 ...

Can understand fans running on the pitch at the end of the game but a bit surreal to see people invading the pitch after our first half equaliser!
