As difficult as it is to recruit, we also need to try and get players in sooner rather than later. We can't keep leaving it until the last minute in the hope that something falls into place. The manager also needs time to work with the players and get them acclimatised to how we play. We simply can'...

Begs the question as to which other players in our history would you say also deserve to be called “Mr Burnley”? ... Duff, Payton, James, McIlroy

I have often wondered whether it would be possible to have a sensor in the ball and sensors on the players which could be linked by software and used to determine whether a player is offside. Problems would be 1) having sensors robust enough to withstand the rigours of a game, particularly those ins...

I'd completely forgotten Rodwell existed.

Now there's a man who's wasted his career.

Been paid consistently well for it though. Had Sunderlands trousers down for years and seemingly now doing the same at Sheff U.

Biden saying “don’t be surprised” if Vydra starts!

I’d go Wood & Jay, keep it tight, then a good 30-40 minutes for Vyds to pull the defence all over the show.

Trump disagrees

When players are towards the end of their contract or out of contract and the headline fee is therefore low or there is nothing at all, this does not necessarily mean they are cheaper to buy than an identical player who is still under contract. Reason being that the player (via their agent) will try...

I think it’s fair to say Charlie had two fantastic seasons at QPR but their fans have a big shock in store if they think they are getting the same player back. He did, although not sure he ever bettered the run he had with us when he scored 20 goals before November. Everything he hit seemed to go i...

Now there's a striker who's legs have gone for the top flight. Just looking at his stats and the most appearances in a season were with us. He peaked with us and QPR, steady decline ever since Lots of players seem to have left Burnley for bigger and better things but, other than better wages, very ...

I thought BPF looked good against City at home and Millwall away but had a bit of a shocker against City away. Norris looked ok yesterday but, barring the penalty shoot out, didn’t have much to do. Pope is still our best keeper by some distance though and offers an extra dimension to both of the oth...

kaptin1

It is not the players though is my point. Dyche will have to drastically change our style for our central midfielders to start contributing more goals. Creativity wise i don't think we are too bad..yes it could be better but when our strikers are missing the chances they are it becomes irrelevant. ...

If we could finish we'd be strolling this. MK did a brilliant impression of a pub team from up Towneley up until they scored and suddenly they're passing it round like bloody Barca!

Brightons centre backs are League 1 compared to ours. Funny thing is, prior to Potter they played a back four with Dunk and Duffy in the middle, who were generally viewed as one of the better defensive partnerships in the division. He got rid of Duffy and went to a back three which doesn’t seem to ...

I would think nothing can be done now, mid-season.

Nail on the head MACCA, if that's what it takes to ram home the message then so be it, if Fulham can assemble a squad of 13/14 players and it's safe for them to do so, then they should be made to fulfil their fixtures, credit to Sheff Utd they were depleted the other night, but they didn't cry off....
