He needs to improve his passing massively if he's going to be a success with us. He looks as limited as Jeff Hendrick to me.

I was laughed at last week when suggesting playing the U23s at Spurs to give the lads a rest.

This chasing shadows isn't going to do us any good for the up coming games.

This story doesn’t surprise me. Got in on good authority his open thoughts on Burnley!

They can't be as bad as everyone connected to Burnley thoughts on him.

I'm guessing Sunderland are no great shakes at this level, but even so any 4-0 win has to be seen in a good light.

They seemed very good at producing youngsters in the first series of their Netflix drama.

I think they cut costs since.

He was trying his best to get a move to Leicester or West Ham in the summer, even took a couple of weeks off with a saw toe after the move collapsed. He said he won't sign a new deal to force a move, not run his contract down. I agree, we should have invested earlier, but we didn't. We have to fix i...

How much are we realistically going to get for him? We only got offers of £30m last summer, that was when he had two years left on his contract and before a full season of clubs generating much lower incomes. I can’t see any coming in with an offer >£20 to £25m this summer. Then consider that Brent...

What are the kelpies and the Falkirk wheel? May be popping to Scotland again in the summer with the kids if the bet Fred cup is up and running again... As the pictures in the thread show. Kelpies are mythical creatures of Scotland. The wheel replaced 11 locks on the canal with boat trips going up a...

Tom Heston opened the new ambulance station so at least 18 months ago

Was that before he went to Villa?

The Kelpies weren't there when we visited . ..It was our first trip in Motorhome touring Scotland in 2007 .. How time flies.

We stayed overnight in the car park next to the Kelpies in the motorhome. Not bad for a fiver.

The Falkirk wheel is a great little tourist attraction. Mad busy.

As expected a few South African professionals have pulled out of playing in the league. Shaun Von Berg will now not be returning to be Rishton's professional in 2021. Clitheroe have announced that South African all rounder Tian Koekemoer will not now be joining the club as professional. Taken from t...

Even 10 years ago it was obscene.

I used to work with a footballers brother, who told stories of all the young lads thinking they had made it, buying rolexes and flash cars etc.. Then bang released at the end of the season with no club lined up.

HI quicken - there were hard yards, but they were enjoyable, and like I said, there were 12-15 people doing broadly the same and more as that posted above. Horses wise, still going, Wilde Blue Yonder is now retired and is with his first stable lass, he was an amazing horse, running at a Cheltenham ...

I misread the title and thought to myself 'they're high marks' for the West Brom game.

Quickenthetempo

As bad as the pitches have been. We have been bowled out for less than 200 in the last 5 innings.

Since 2016 we have been bowled out 5 times in just one session.

Shocking really.

Quickenthetempo

Seems you put a lot of hard yards in Dan, and as a volunteer. Fair play. Thanks on behalf of the fans who are desperate for young stars to come through.

How did your dabble into horse racing go? I think you stopped posting on the old board as you were getting into it?

Quickenthetempo

Puzzling decision to open the bowling with the 2 spinners. New ball under lights, give Jimmy a go.

32-0 off 4. They have bowled tripe.

Has there been any update from the LL meeting? I see the Greater Manchester League are progressing with an application which is being considered by the ECB at the end of February. Let’s hope the cricket season can start on time and all the overseas professionals can travel over. https://twitter.com...

Quickenthetempo

Stokes on the counter attack scoring 10 off Ashwins over.
How long can it last though?

Quickenthetempo

We lead by 1 run now.

Need to set them at least 60.

Quickenthetempo

Excellent by Root.

15 balls 3 wickets 0 runs 0 full tosses.

We might have found our no.1 off spinner.

Quickenthetempo

We have a few days of sunshine coming up that can change your mood for the better. Hang in there guys.

Quickenthetempo

Well it looks like (by the small number of posters who have replied) it would be best to carry on like we have been doing. Letting contracts run down and rely on the new owners to find some cash from somewhere to improve the squad.

I think it's more that he's better than Barnes, Jay Rod and Vydra

Do you think any other premier league club would pay a fee for any of them?

First wicket for Archer, hopefully he gets in the mood now.
Seems to sulking so far with not bowling earlier and then Stokes putting Saliva on the bowl so it had to be cleaned, just before he got the ball in hand.

Just about to say. The coastline is eroding quicker than we thought if Norwich is on the south east coast

It's only 20 minute drive from the coast. Good enough for me.

Could we replace Tarky with Gibson?

The fee is agreed with Norwich if they get promoted.

He seems to be happy on the South East coast.

Think everyone accepts Tarks will be gone, Pope needs to be kept as does Wood. If someone offered us 8m for Vydra I imagine the club would as a gesture give them 1m back to make sure the deal went through.

Will just Tarks going raise enough money to improve the squad that's so short on numbers?

Let’s sell the handful of players we own who haven’t yet reached 30.

We have come to this stage as we have too many older players who won't command a fee.

I think the new owners will get us back in the habit of selling players and re investing.

Quickenthetempo

Tarks and Pope could command fees where we will be required to sell. But why on earth would you sell our best striker and biggest goal threat for £15m? I would sell all 4 forwards if we got decent fees but I don't think we will for Barnes or Jay Rod unfortunately. I personally think we need someone...

Surely a wind up

It's asking for your opinions.

Quickenthetempo

Is it time to cash in on the players we can sell and rebuild in the summer? Tarky 35m Pope 35m Wood 15m (if he nets a few when he comes back.) Vydra 8m (will never suit a Dyche team) 100m or so to spend. Try and get a forward like Watkins who can play the front line on his own. This will enable us t...

Just can cope with top class spin.
The two reviews were daft!!

We only lost one review, the other was umpires call.

Quickenthetempo

The good news is they will be batting under lights and might only score 50.

Quickenthetempo

It's a hard pitch to bat on, but the balls we have got out to have been straight up and down.

That's the test of this format though. The very best clear their head of the good deliveries and play each one on it's merit.

Quickenthetempo

Root gone by the finest of margins. Looked plum so you can see why the umpire gave him. But bounce and turn it was clipping by CMs.

Quickenthetempo

49-2 Crawley looks in good nick. Hopefully goes big for us as the pitch looks bowler friendly.

Even before the lights come on.

What a stupid review. Absolute waste.

He's hit the bottom of the pad and thought he's got an inside edge.

Quickenthetempo

I wouldn't like to face Archer on this pitch.

I would need more protection than a Camelot knight.

Well done to Sevco on their first title win

It's great that a club can form and win the league up there within 10 years.

Everyone thought it was a closed shop.

A few more clubs should spring up and hammer Celtic further down the pyramid.

Quickenthetempo

Broad will be lucky to keep his place after the last Test. Woakes to come in for me or even leave Stone in. He didn't do too badly and is quick enough. Bairstow has to come in at 3 and hopefully put pressure back on the spinners early on. It could be very low scoring with it swinging under lights. 9...

We all do, its just that some articulate it a lot better than others. Frustration is understandable, anger and bile isn't. Yes, some are educated to higher standard.

Some of the comments aimed at Dyche and the team's so-called lack of commitment had nothing to do with passion.

Would they say such things if they didn't care?

They just want the club or the manager to improve on things.

Quickenthetempo

Would not supporting the club mean walking away from it and not mentioning again? Heading to a Burnley themed messageboard after a bad performance and venting frustrations, just shows you have passion for the club. If you're not bothered how they play or about the result, then maybe best to get a ho...

You will be surprised. There will be loads of people desperate to get on. Of course there will be. But we will have to attract a hell of a lot of new fans to keep gates as they were.
