I want Ireland to qualify.

If they fail we will have at least three players on a downer on Saturday compared with one likely non starter in Vokes

Down_Rover

The FA should ask our Board to recruit a new manager.

1. They have an excellent record in recent times, only Laws was poor, and even he might have been the best applicant given the perilous state we were in, and more importantly,

2. They would ensure the best candidate was not Sean Dyche

Down_Rover

Comparing the teams player by player does not answer the OP question. If it was a matter of who had the best players there is no doubt England are better than Burnley, but they are also better, on that basis, than any of the home international teams ( inc Republic of Ireland). Their record against t...

Anderson may only be 24 but not all players grow up at the same rate. Long is 27 and it took him until last year to show he was a first team candidate. I am not making any wild predictions about Tom but don't write him off yet. In a year or so he just may save us a small fortune. It is that hope whi...

They want independence then they can form their own league.

Ask anyone in the media and Keane will always be better that Mee or Tarks.

Why?

Because he played for Manchester United!

I like MACCA's idea of spending money rather than paying the taxman and this is very sensible if we know what our squad moving forward looks like. With the exception of Marney, and who knows how fit he ever be, there are few key players out of contract at the end of this season. But the list of thos...

What did you expect?

Rather have Nigel Farage

I was one of the fans who contributed £1000. Got a framed shirt with the names of all contributors woven in, my name on a brick just inside the main entrance, and did a lap of honour round the pitch with the other contributors. Felt proud as the fans stood up and applauded. It's true we do look at t...

tony morley or Nahki Wells?

Down_Rover

There is absolutely no chance of us playing 4-3-3. We do not have enough quality to do so. We defend with 6 across the back and this wont change until we have trillions to spend. 4-5-1 makes us one of the hardest teams to beat in the PL and, in my view, Vokes should always start in this formation. W...

went to Norwich early 70's. Crap game lost 1-0.

Things got better when the prop shaft fell off the coach and we all had to visit a thatched pub in a village near Swaffam. All the landed gentry were there for their pre dinner snifters.

They weren't pleased to see the 50 of us

Pope 6 not much to do Bardsley 7 played well going forward, adequate cover if needed Tarkowski 6 played ok Long 6 would rather he was 4th choice but adequate Taylor 5 Now I know why folk want him on the wing.

defo needs a solicitor.

I fear claretDiver is right as it appears she has not lived here long enough to qualify for residency rights, I think she has to have lived here for four years and not left the UK for more than 90 days in any year.

I think Wood has every chance of turning out to be the best of the two strikers. However, as said above, Vokes knows our system and has played his part in making 4-5-1 a successful structure for us away from home. Wood has only played as part of 4-4-2 to date and we should not expect too much too ea...

Down_Rover

For my money this is the best balanced squad we have had in recent times. The number of quality midfielders who are comfortable with the ball at their feet is the bedrock of the team. Cork, Defour, Westwood, Hendick is now the engine room which should mean our defence is under less pressure and our ...

I don't think Either will make it. Think both will draw final two games (including when they play each other) Meaning Wales finishing 2nd but not making the play offs. Probably right.

Good point. Those that get hot under the collar about whether we should pay £10m or £15m for a player, or think we need an international world-beater to be our fourth choice centre back should understand that we are highly privileged to have those discussions. Lets hope the next generation of this C...

Joe Gallagher. Sorry changed my mind to Ian Wright. That's if you ignore all john bonds signings from the retirement home

Down_Rover

He will be ok on appeal. He has lived in this country long enough to qualify for U.K. Citizenship, irrespective of where his parents were born.

Provided of course he is of sane mind and has no criminal convictions. Wanting to live in Colne may therefore count against him

Any idea when leeds tickets go on sale?

Down_Rover

He is a true claret and I would keep him if only to win free kicks for Brady and Defour. To lose him just might damage the ethos of what this club is about. Dyche knows the type of player that works for us, now Cork Walters Bardsley and Taylor all fit that model and hopefully Wood too. Barnes was an...

Honours? OK Leeds have underacheived, but come on? As a successful prem team they would be capable of filling the capacities of turf moor and ewood park combined with their fanbase.. They are way bigger than Burnley(and rovers).. On that basis both Bristol teams and Bradford City would be huge clubs

I think you will find we played more hoof ball when gray was on the pitch than Vokes Vokes gets you higher up the pitch and with 5 in midfield is better supported when we do move forward. You can't have 2 up front and 5 midfield. The Chelsea performance suggests we are going to play more football th...
