It shows how bad Derby must have been to get 11 points from 38 games.....

Herts Clarets

Part of a midfield that wasn't Premier League standard and contributed significantly to our relegation in 2022. No pace, little creativity, not physical enough against the more mobile and athletic midfielders and his set pieces are nothing short of appalling. Significant upgrade required, the sooner...

I did give it the briefest of mentions in this report. You were probably lucky being thrown out that day. I sat next to Jimmy Mac and he just tut tutted all the way through hardly able to believe how bad it was. It was near the end of the game so I had already suffered the shambolic goings on. I wa...

Just out of interest, did you expect us to be first best against a Liverpool side in any areas?

One area. Effort. And we weren't....

Second best in all areas apart from the keeper against a Liverpool side who didn't need to get out of Second gear.

Being 2 rows in front of you Tony, as soon as Odobert hit that shot I shouted yes. Behind it all the way and it was destined for the corner the minute he struck it. Hope your confidence has been restored a little!

Is Chris Boden going for the record for number of 'you knows' on a podcast? Its pretty hard to listen to once you notice

I think, you know, he, you know, breaks that, you know, record, you know, quite early, you know, in, you know, the podcast.

We try to inject a bit of humour where we can (Woody is our Director of Quips!) but we are conscious that most episodes are pretty negative. I think our hope is that we're not negative just for the sake of being so and we do try to add some reasoned analysis in there so it at least feels like we're...

50 years of one of the best quiz programs on TV killed off within 2 years of McGuinness hosting and 2 non entities as team captains. Stan's blind man on his galloping horse could have seen this coming.

We must have a few wingers we can either sell or loan out and sign players in the areas we are desperately short. Right back, centre back (unless Ekdal is going to be fully fit) and centre forward (even if Foster comes back we need another)

Good teams and players, I believe, are good teams and players in any era and they would still be very talented players today.

This.

The best players of any era would adapt and be similar in any era in my opinion. How would the players of today cope in the 1960s when we were kings?

Just seen this on a FB post about Gerry Francis. Who are the 2 Burnley players? I am thinking Geoff Nulty and Jim Thomson?

Watched it on TV so can't score. Didn't have a bad game but some of the really high scores are puzzling. Failed to give what i thought in normal time was a clear penalty.

From watching on IPTV I could hear Burnley fans loudly backing the team. There are always a minority who will look for the negative in anything and everything, in an attempt to say 'I told you so' when something goes wrong. It is a trait that seems prevalent amongst Burnley fans and I would say Burn...

Not that I’m disagreeing with the overall post but on points 2 and 3, the added time is always stated as a minimum which makes them two points void. The rest though absolutely.

Haven't they been £40 since the start of the season? Then increase the price to £50, mark it down to £40 and make it appear to be a saving. Black Friday is nothing but a massive marketing exercise.

From what I remember, we didn't have much luck with free kicks; seeing them going over the wall and being on target was novelty enough

To be fair, last season and Scott Twine/JBG excepted, it still is a novelty. We are used to Josh Brownhill and his 'wall or row Z' efforts.

I recall being in the away end at Grimsby when Gazza came on at half time with us 3-0 down. Gazza was giving it some to the away end to try to get everyone going, and his face was beetroot red.

Tinfoil hat on but Imo they’ve handed this knowing that they’ll still stay up as the bottom of the league is that poor. An attempt at a deterrent. My thoughts exactly. Even with the deduction they only need 1 win to take them out of the relegation places. They will be fine with Sean Dyche in charge
