He was b0llocking them. I'm led to believe he said "What the fcuk do you lot get upto when I'm busy improving my golf swing, these lot are all over the show. I specifically told you both to get them to start scoring goals and at least looking like we are capable of winning a match" "More work needed...

I'm pretty confident actually. They'll be tired after a tough derby may be even a player or 2 short through injury or suspension.

I'll post my prediction after I watch them tommorow.

Simon Jordan said on talks port that he would have walked down m6 for the palace job. Was probably when hodgson got it. 5 years was a rediculous contract. Did well but hasn't countered the loss of energy from boyd and afield with enough skill. Too slow too predictable. Timed the 5 year contract ver...

No the turning point was failing to improve your first 11 in 2 transfer windows. If you stand still in this business, you go backwards.

A Premier Curry, a few beers and I'll hopefully manage to persuade someone to take my tickets off me for Wednesday.

Look at the positive, we won the offsides!

So you want people to ring up and lie?

I prefer to look at the positives, we've made 50m profit in consecutive seasons.

We have, I don't believe it.

If this is tactical I salute you Mr Dyche. Baby steps towards evolving right there.

We might just see the first ever SD HT tactical substitution, we have been poor.
Mr Dyche is furious

MACCA

Team selection is spot on today I agree. He's done what i was wanting & expecting line up wise today. Don't listen to the critics like Merson However it's the set up, approach and football I'm hoping improved. If we set up for a 0-0, and keep launching it, we will struggle. Try and play some footba...

Inevitable loss. BUT, we had good framework and other teams have spent more.

Will there be some nice pockets of play?

Did we look to effect the game in many ways?

I certainly hope that's the case

Thanks for answering. I think 46 is a little bit ambitious and goes some way to explaining why you're so critical, but fair enough. What Accrington and others (including Leicester as the obvious one) have shown is that it's possible to overperform their budgets over a short period of time ie one or...

As long as the team turns up, that is all that matters.

2 0 the clarets, if Heaton is in goal, 2 0 palace if he isn't I like how Heaton can be responsible for not only stopping 2 goals, but then scoring 2 as well if he is in goal. We will be turning down upwards of 50m come January... *If Burton is his benchmark of performances, I'd play Lindegaard over...

I think we can keep them down to 3, and hopefully we can give the travelling fans something to cheer about.

I thought it was a fairly straightforward question, apparently not. I'm asking you to forget the performances for a moment, look at the big picture and tell me what your realistic expectations are for our results over a season in the Premier League and put a number on it in terms of points per game...

MACCA

That's all well and good and I agree with some of it, but you didn't answer the question. Here it is again: You started by saying it's first and foremost a results business so let's just talk about results for a moment. How many points per game do you expect us to be achieving in this league? Same ...

Personally think the summer window was our best opportunity to do real business as we were in Europe, had just finished 7th and were apparently in the up. Good prospects for the future but now we are struggling with form, confidence us low and with a possible relegation in the cards why would someo...

MACCA

Obviously I'd be happier if the results and performances were better, but I accept that with our relative budget we're always going to be up against it and a target of a point per game is realistic. Over the last 12 months or so we're meeting that target. The issue is that expectations have been ra...

I've had a pair of previous season's Puma GK shorts - they were just normal shorts. I think padded GK shorts are a thing of the past. I had a pair of silver 1990 World Cup Peter Shiltons.

We've played 30 league games in 2018 and collected 29 points, which isn't great but it's nowhere near as bad as you're making out and just under a point a game would more than likely keep us up. If that's good enough for you and you're happy with the points returns and performances then that's good...

How about all and absolutely delighted. We don't look like winning 3 from the next 10 if our last 11 months forms anything to go by.

Nice goalpost shift. We've only won three league games at home so far this year. I reckon most supporters will be happy if we win three out of our remaining four. Not shifting anything it's what I either read or heard very recently, may have been when I 're watched Monday's game, or what I've read ...

. Maybe, Dyche thought he needed to show we could play another way this season, if only to demonstrate he is not the next Big Sam or Tony Pulis. Maybe, he's trying some new ideas with the players, trying to get them to play more attractively whilst retaining his trademark defensive shape. Maybe, it...

Sorry it was purely home form, which won't exactly bring or keep bums on seats and fans happy.
Also it's still usually still relegation form, only 6 home wins in a season.

Edited now, cheers

According to Wiki David Brooks had played 30 matches in three seasons for Sheff Utd. Was there anything to suggest he was good enough to play for us? Only 30? Or do you mean 30 starts? Yes he was tearing up the league below, on the radar of the national team and great to watch. Put it 1 way for the...

Question is though, had we been more expansive would we ever have got close to finishing 7th? It's a system that has obvious limitations but it's also a system that's delivered success for us as well. There are teams that play more expansive football, but will never be as successful as we've been. ...

I think a few of us are getting a little tired of supporting the Royal Bank of Burnley because at the moment that is how it feels, all take and no give. As for Dyche being gone in January I think if he is it may be that he walks out of frustration. The first part is correct, however itd take a very...

It's been said a million times, the midfield aren't good enough in two's and the forwards aren't good enough on their own. It's what happens when you buy most players from the championship. I'd have certainly took Brooks from Sheff Utd, and IMO our most poorer performers in the midfield have been C...

I’m in total agreement with spice that we can’t play two strikers and Defour. Yep, it shows why we often play Hendrick as a number 10. Also it shows the lack of planning or execution as to why we didn't get a proper number 10, or a upgrade on The Hendrick role in the last few windows. We seem to al...

We missed a trick with Brooks from Sheff Utd in the summer IMO, however I'd certainly like to see a couple of young and hungry players of similar quality. It will take them a while to bed in and it's the odd 30 mins of fearless play that may help us. Should the worst happen they are hear ready to bo...

Allen Certainly fits the SD mould. Nearing his 30's, probably a decent 3 years left in him and a seasoned pro. No need to relocate the family. Stoke maybe looking to offload if balancing the books and promotion not looking likely. It's who starts in the other 1 or 2 places should he arrive. Cork De...
