That’s usually the case and I’m only avoiding that line of thought because I’m liking the turnaround in performances and have decided to believe Kompany can pull this off

Good luck, he will need to win against some biguns now. Hope still exists

I'm saying the team had an overall cohesion, from playing 46 games together. That was ripped up with 4-5 starters all left at once.

Would have been better off keeping a side who know each other, inside and out

Yes, we lost that promotion bounce

Wokingclaret

Oh and there's always the HOPE

Nobody knew how the signings would pan out

Of course, but we had gone too young. You can't do that and survive in this league.

Wokingclaret

It should be crystal clear to all but dimwits that Kompany has it figured out. The team is improving as he said it would. Cant argue with his intent and commitment. Nobody around could come in and make it better. We are in transition, and his squad under his guidance will come good . No doubt about...

What before the season started?

Yes and no, the season started in August, but the signings we were making was too young for this league

Wokingclaret

Hopefully

This is the same Tella that hasn’t broken in to a Bundesliga side (much lower quality than the Prem) and THB who didn’t get another Prem offer?

Not sure about that.

At least he played with a smile on his face

You want it now ok, don’t we all. Some get it, you don’t.

I got in August

Wokingclaret

Not convinced by either. THB is in the championship and probably doing as well as last year (nobody in the prem fancied a punt on the England U21 Captain - hardly an unknown) and Tella didn't do much last time he was in the prem. No guarantees either way but I think they wouldn't have made a signif...

It’s not gone wrong , you just don’t get it

I get it, toooo young, not good enough at the mo, 2 years time etc............

Wokingclaret

No one

Higher if we'd signed Tella and THB plus experience.

The new group stage of the Champions League is going to be the most pointless exercise ever. At present the group stage has 32 teams, and it takes 48 games to eliminate 16 of them. With the new system, there will be 36 games and it will take 144 games to eliminate 12 of them. And UEFA think that it...

Teasdale stayed too long, without Kilby and Ingleby coming on board, we were heading for the 4th tier again

Wokingclaret

Muric deserved to be No 1, that said, we needed an experienced keeper

Wokingclaret

I initially thought Trafford was our second choice but it does make me wonder if he was actually first choice. Trafford definitely looks the better acquisition. , although it can’t be easy on Verbruggen being chopped and changed all the time. Whilst I was and still am Muric in, some credit needs to...

Young keepers tend to really struggle in this league. Theres not many that come in at aged 20/21 and do well immediately.

Nail on the head

We need to finish above 3 teams. Probably the 2 we have beaten and the one we should have done if the officials had done their job properly. 4th bottom is very possible.

Not possible unless things change big time

Wokingclaret

Ah well, won't need to watch next season.....

Wokingclaret

Sure a few will leave, thats expected, but in my opinion we will retain a large main core and won’t be under as much pressure to sell as last time. But I will note that’s dependant on who is manager. Most of these players are only at Burnley because of Kompany. Might be more pressure financially, w...

Wokingclaret

They have to prove it, they aren't. its a No from me

Wokingclaret

Oh btw this is the worst performing Premier league squad we've had

Wokingclaret

Always a risk. Looking at the clubs who will likely be there next year, I'd fancy our chances at a strong chance of returning. Depends who stays and who goes and who the manager is Lots of clubs in the Championship that thought they'd bounce back but didn't. We must of thought the same in 76 and lo...

Not sure why Trafford is being singled out, he was possibly our best player today.

Perhaps he's weak at corners

Sorry JR but you lose your premier league status at your peril......

Well, we don't look like taking it to the wire

Everton won't have an easier game than this

Absolutely.

Look at the trajectory of keepers. They come into their own when they fill out. He needs to fill out. He will do and he will be a wonderful keeper.

Sadly two years away

Stop these silly corners, get it in

Very unlucky to concede that. Just a ricochet.

We've not been awful, despite what some would assume.

Unlucky! Just crap defending

Surprised Amazon didn't get anything

Wokingclaret

The difference is Holtyclaret, there was an expectation this season rightly or wrongly, there wasn't back in the day of Dyche's first prem season, hope yes!

We all know we are struggling to score goals. Could we sign a free agent to plug the gap, as an example Connor Wickham ( not that I want him) or Josh Eppiah?

No we are full

Wokingclaret

Drat was hoping Fulham would get dragged into it

Wokingclaret

It’s not an argument from authority though, I’m not saying your questioning of why Muric isn’t playing isn’t valid because Kompany has more authority. I’m just explaining why I think he is playing Trafford ahead of Muric, and that’s because he thinks he’s a better keeper. We know that you think Mur...

Time for Ekdal but a mystery why he disappeared at the end of last season and not first choice at the beginning of this

And unlike a lot of people on here, I'm far from convinced with Beyer.

Probably missing THB alongside him. Al Dakil and O'Shea can't of helped

Wokingclaret

Think we were done in the Palace match too, that was a red card assault on Trafford

Wokingclaret

My guess would be is we will need to sell, bring in cheaper versions like last season, a lot of these players were brought in for the premier League, £10-15 million players, a lot will not want to be playing championship football next season, Berge is one for starters and could easily see Trafford ...
