"I think fans who expect us to walk the championship again are going to be in for a nasty shock"

why?

Strange that - there’s me thinking McNeil, Branthwaite, Garner, Dobbin, Patterson, and Onana are all 24 or under.

How many of those did Dyche buy?

Ric_C

This season is done, we need to start planning for the championship unfortunately.

6 month loans maybe, but I'm not sure how committed they'll be, failing that, then we need some decent full back options who are willing to drop down a level, and maybe a new GK if Muric leaves (I wouldn't blame him)

Ric_C

Looking how it has panned out, it would never have worked between Pace and Dyche. One wants experienced battle hardened players, the other wants youth + potential profit

Ric_C

The thing that’s annoyed me most about this season is why we have just abandoned last seasons tactics? We are at home 2-0 down to Everton, where is the press? Where’s the overlapping fullback? Where is the inverted fullback creating a midfield 3? This whole creating overloads has gone. Now what are...

I applauded Dyche at the start, as we all should I also applauded McNeil by the Bob Lord in the second half just as a quick gesture of appreciation and to combat the mindless people who were booing him. I must've missed the part where the Turf was such a cauldron of passion and feverish support for ...

Few points 1. VK is really going to die on his James Trafford hill isn't he? We are basically playing almost half a season with a GK who isn't fully physically and mentally developed for premier league football. Everyone can see it, and if it costs VK his job, i've little sympathy now as this change...

My car insurance was always around £200-£250

Cheapest I can get now is nearer £400

Absolute robbing bastards

Roberts must never be an option at LB again after the Spurs horror show

Ric_C

Liverpool fans online are trying to frame this as if he meant it was a tough place to go. You couldn't make it up!

Ric_C

Scousers calling anyone else grasses must be the most ironic thing I've ever heard

Ric_C

Barton RIP you sick excuse for a huiman being you have taken freedom of speach and produced a hate filled rant that should have you investigated by the police, for your latest rant . I appoligise if you did not say those commnets and feel you should have the editors of the news papers who have prin...

Is Bumba on twitter? He'd fit in well there with his hot takes

Ric_C

As stated above I was being sarcastic because some posters keep telling us to stay positive because we just can't compete and £100 million is nothing so should just accept relegation and 'come back up', for some very strange reason some posters believe the new ownership is about building a squad to...

Ric_C

Never say never. We've not been lucky with injuries, and if we can get to January with about 15 points then we might have half a chance. Will Foster go to Afcon? Beyer / Ekdal may make us a lot more solid. We are improving, but we need to just scab a couple of dirty wins from somewhere to give us a ...

Ric_C

Wilder is a busted flush. Sheffield utd are doomed, we don't need to worry about them

Ric_C

I might be in the minority here, but I've never liked the gallows humour when inside the ground when the team is actually giving their all on the pitch.

The "how **** must you be, we're winning at home" made me cringe

Ric_C

Will Utd be drawn at home yet again?

Ric_C

argh didn't even realise he'd been booked?

Ric_C

What a performance, and what a nice change to come away from the Turf smiling again. Don't know if anyone else has these feelings, but sometimes you start the weekend off on a good or bad note and you can almost predict if things will go well or badly for the rest of the weekend. Managed to scab som...

We have a squad full of good up and coming talent. We have also massively ballsed up our recruitment in the summer. For the sake of VK I hope we win on saturday and sneak a few wins before the halfway stage to give us a fighting chance. I'm not bothered about going down, but I'd like to see us show ...

Trafford 5 - Get him out of the team please, I can't watch him dither and flap around anymore Vitinho 6 - Did ok, but he's essentially our reserve utility player from last season playing right back in the premier league O'Shea 5 - Does ok for a while, but then does something stupid or careless. I ca...

Ric_C

Muric, but that should have happened 10 games ago. It's akin to Dyche not dropping Hart when everyone could see that it just wasn't working

Maybe Ekdal will be the catalyst?

Ric_C

For me the point of this season now is not letting our heads drop, keep evolving the style and hopefully get us a decent points haul. It's imperative we keep backing them. I'm not in the VK out camp as I think this is a genuinely interesting way of going about squad growth over time. We all know we ...

Ric_C

I think us, Sunderland and Cov were consistently in the top 3 last season

Ric_C

Not sure about current offers, but the "half in club vouchers" included season tickets. So I've used mine to get a couple of season tickets for the last 2 years.

Does that Ryan Murton post on here? Winds me up that he always seems to appear on my Twitter feed, I end up clicking on his posts and getting p1ssed off

Lol

Ric_C

Would love to see him as a half time guest and be able to give him a proper send off

Ric_C

If we did go down, we'd have to sell a few to balance the books. Sell Foster, Koleosho, Trafford, Al-Dahkil and Tresor (just examples) We'd still have left: Muric Roberts Vitinho Ekdal Beyer Cullen Massengo Berge Brownhill Ramsey Benson JBG Odobert Benson Zaroury Bruun Larsen Add a few loans, and si...

Ric_C

Pretty solid display against a very average Palace who were lucky to come away with a win due to our gifting of another goal. Think Eduard was lucky not to see red after that reckless challenge on Trafford. We look so toothless without Foster though. Not shelling out for Tella is looking a bigger mi...

Ric_C

I clapped them off as I thought they needed a bit of support after a fairly solid display. Those booing after the second goal are thick as pig ****, as it was a hail Mary from O'Shea that gave them the goal. Being a supporter is about getting behind the team wherever possible, and not slagging them ...

Ric_C

Brentford are the ideal model tbh in terms of building on what got them up. Think we are due another summer of change once we go down. Still think we'll smash the championship next year though. What I want to see from the rest of the season: 1. Adaptable tactics 2. A bit of goddam fight 3. Give more...

Ric_C

Regarding injuries, will Foster be fit?

How far off are Beyer and Ekdal?

If Trafford starts on saturday, I'll really begin to start questioning VK's ability to adapt and change.

Nothing against the lad, but he's not what we need right now.

Ric_C

I was expecting Trippier level delivery with all the assists he had last year. If anything he can hardly beat the 1st man on any type of cross from what i've seen so far

Ric_C

I think one point we fail to recognise and that's how good even most of the lower tier teams are in the PL. On the way to Brentford the Everton team was given out on the radio, and I thought WOW thats a strong team, and they are one of our relegation rivals. Thats why with 10 men they did not disgr...

Ric_C

Also O'Shea is a disaster of a signing. Everytime he plays we ship at least 3 goals

Ric_C

Not read any of the replies as I don't want to be swayed. Tactics We do have pace in the team, we need to evolve (in the short term) to a sit deep and counter type side. We have the players to do it. Personell Muric HAS to start the next game, I'm sorry but wtf was vk thinking giving an inexperience...

Ric_C

Not improving our full backs from last season and not signing a prem ready centre back has been baffling in the extreme

Ric_C

Remember how poor Lyle foster looked when he first joined? Some players need more time than others I guess.

Ric_C

Reading players of that era always seemed to have a chip on their shoulder about anything to do with Burnley

Ric_C

A nailed on red then a nailed on yellow...but he's still on the pitch.

Ric_C

Cards on the table for me : Why did we spend 12 million in total on absolute dross like oshea and Delcroix when we could have signed a dominant CB or even THB? Why did we spend 19 million on a goalie who struggles to play out from the back thus hampering the way we play? Why did we bring in 6 more a...

Ric_C

Can't be bothered with ratings today as the players seemingly couldn't be bothered in the second half. Very worrying lack of effort. Everybody 4 We seem to concede more when o'shea is on the pitch. Delcroix looks hopeless. Tresor seems to think he's still in Belgium. Where is our fight? It's glaring...

Ric_C

I had a similar thing a year ago. The media wouldn't stop talking about Ange Postecoglou going to Brighton from Celtic, so after a while I zoned out as I thought it was a done deal.

Even after De Zerbi's first few games, I thought Ange was the manager lol

Ric_C

Watched the first episode. Was really good. Bit's blown my mind a bit that Victoria told him she was pregnant the night before the Argentina game. Surely she could have waited till afterwards considering his state of mind at the time?

Ric_C

I love seeing clubs win something who historically have suffered over the years. Probably because it reminds me of us a bit.

Like Hibs winning the Scottish cup final in 2016 after 114 years for example

One win like that is worth 5 premier leagues that the big boys win

Ric_C

We are getting battered

Ric_C

Just said Rovers should have had a goal allowed, despite the Rovers player pretty much booting it out of the goalies hands

Moron

I went to watch England v turkey at the stadium of light and Beckham must have put in about twice as much effort as anyone else on the pitch
