Re: Koleosho

It's clear that Koleosho looks a great talent for his age and will probably go on to be a real player. Clearly hasn't got the tank and nous to be a 90 minute Prem player yet. Looks good and perhaps some last 30 mins appearances will be the way.

Re: Which teams look set for relegation struggle?

I'm a little nervous. Our next two games are against teams who look the part early season. I hope we don't get through without any points. I wish we had offered to play Luton at home last weekend just for a chance of getting three points on the board.

Re: Royal Dyche

The Culvert area is much better now than it was. Used to be a real no go zone. A bit different now. Not perfect but feel comfortable. Went to a festival in Towneley the other year. Had a mini pub crawl with the wife and was a laugh. Not something I would have considered 20 years ago or so.

Re: Royal Dyche

Sadly, not just a Burnley issue but a society issue. Can't blame anyone such as pubs, public sector, police. People need to look at themselves, and if coke is the norm, then look at harm reduction or even legalisation if that what folk want.
