I just feel mightily sorry for him. Set up to fail by Dyche by playing him in a two with the hapless Westwood when it was obvious that Leeds would run all over us.

Tried his best of course, which is more than I can say for some of his mates, but never stood a chance today.

ksrclaret

Disagree with both. Dyche signed them both knowing his favoured formation being 4.4.2. Stephens injury may impact this, but Cornet has been our bright spark in the number 10 role and offers far more than anyone else in that position. Fair enough. Cornet has looked his best in the number 10 role but...

ksrclaret

I'll have a stab an answering the questions... 1.) Because Stephens probably can't do much in a 442, especially against a side as energetic dynamic as Leeds. Brining on Stephens would probably have required a formation change and we know that is just not possible. 2.) Cornet probably isn't a number ...

Does anyone know if Tony Loughlan's departure has had a significant impact on us, or is it that him going has coincided with this wretched run of performances and results? Last season wasn't really much good and he was here then. I am genuinely interested to know if anyone has any "inside" info that...

ksrclaret

Just watched Dyche's interview on the BBC.

He's talking about Leeds running with purpose and giving it all they've got. Working hard for each other.

So now even Dyche himself acknowledges that our opposition want it more than we do.

ksrclaret

You only have to look at Norwich to see it rarely works by trying to play a better brand of football with limited players though. I'm not saying we can't play defensive and direct football. I am saying that to do that, this 442 setup with the players we have is making us so unbelievably bad with th...

ksrclaret

Ultimately though, it was always about stick or twist. Stay up with rigid football for six seasons, or drop down like many others have done after a season or two. I don't accept that our football has to be as bad as this to give us any hope of staying up. Anyone else would see playing such terrible...

ksrclaret

I agree. It’s like watching table football when someone just spins and bashes it about, only in real life football. It's beyond terrible. Our players play in zones and are left to navigate their zone completely on their own without any help from their mates, even when it's obvious we're being press...

ksrclaret

Somebody has clearly scribbled out that mantra on the walls of Gawthorpe.

The way I've seen our players lazily walk back after giving the ball away in the last couple of matches has confirmed to me that effort isn't a big deal anymore.

ksrclaret

If there are any takers we need to sell him this month and focus on the development of Nathan Collins.

ksrclaret

K'off Dyche

Every single one of us knows it'll be exactly the same 442 poorly coached rubbish next week and for every week after that.

ksrclaret

Hennessey 5
Lowton 4
Tarkowski 3
Mee 4
Taylor 6
McNeil 3
Westwood 3
Cork 4
JBG 4
Wood 5
Lennon 5

Cornet 6

Down and out.

ksrclaret

100% gone. We are a terribly coached team for the league we compete in.

ksrclaret

No surprise to see the direction this thread has taken.

Arguments and posters saying you can’t have your opinion because you’ve not managed the team. Pathetic.

ksrclaret

The scariest thing for me in football is how easy it is for one person, or small group of people, to take the passion and lifeblood of thousands upon thousands of supporters and ruin it through neglectful financial mismanagement. It’s happened up and down the leagues and is currently happening at De...

So you’re suggesting Rice makes ours look like puddings. Not sure I would agree.

No he’s not suggesting that at all, what a stupid response.

ksrclaret

West Ham are some team. Huge, strong, athletic, full of pace, and with plenty of technique and skill in the forward and midfield areas.

Every team who plays on the break should look at them as the model.

ksrclaret

All I will say is, as I did last January. There'll be surprises. Good surprises. I have been not only bang on accurate with telling you this I've been astonishingly accurate but can tell you now. There will be signings and some of those are going to top Cornet's signing. Don't be surprised to see o...

ksrclaret

He quite clearly cannot stand his manager. I think Tuchel the Tugger has shown the whole of the football world why that is over the last few weeks. I'm not exaggerating here when I say I think he needs help.

ksrclaret

Some of those should be in the gutter.

Shame on whoever compiled and approved that.

ksrclaret

I doubt he can play in a midfield two anymore. He did it very successfully alongside Kayal at Brighton in the Championship for a couple of years, but when they came up Hughton always played in three in midfield with Gross in place of a forward. As I've said further up though, I'd play him at Leeds a...

Both his and Dyche's wage are almost identical

Not in the championship it won’t be

ksrclaret

Wayne Rooney would not come to Burnley in the Championship. No way would we be in a position to match the salary he picks up at Derby, or get anywhere close to it after relegation.

ksrclaret

I have to say I’m getting mightily fed up of reading this pampered little PL fannies bemoaning their inhumane working environments. They are an embarrassment. The good news is though nobody outside of the football world has the slightest bit of sympathy for these little bitches. Dyche’s response to ...

ksrclaret

Yes I'd give him a start at Leeds in front of the back four. I thought he did well when he came on in difficult circumstances and kept the ball well. It really does say everything though that as we get ready to go to Leeds, which has now become a crucial game for our survival chances, we're pinning ...

Heck. That can't be good. I take it the rona will relegate us should it not relent soon.

What kinda crap is this?

Okay I'll spell it out for you. I'm saying that Papabendi is a fair weather supporter who won't be seen for dust when we've rolled our sleeves up and got down and dirty in the smelly old Championship. X

I'm only winding him up though. Don't worry about it. X

As long as people keep voting like this we'll end up with the squad we have, led by the manager we have.

Not sure it works like that, mate.

ksrclaret

I really don't mind the Championship. Sure it gets quite tedious if you're hanging around in mid-table with nothing to play for from February, but plenty of fairly local away games and not having to be subjected to "Pep" and his ilk more than make up for that. So it looks like this is goodbye Papabe...

How is that trolling? It’s a fact, Ronaldo missed two sitters.

Just because I’m not kissing Dyches arse after we get pummelled weak in weak out

Only player we have who can pick a pass out.

Absolutely, but he’s still part of the team and should be working hard. His reaction just before their second was rancid.

ksrclaret

Well played Lennon. Good lad.

ksrclaret

We’ve not been thrashed yet, was the line of choice for the happy clappers this season.

Sheff Utd said the same last year until they were.

ksrclaret

I’m a huge defender of his, but the way he walked back with total disinterest was utterly disgraceful.

ksrclaret

Wood is rotten.

ksrclaret

One of the worst goals I’ve seen us give away under Dyche.

Everyone just walking back, not even jogging, no interest in making a challenge, and Sancho walks it in.

Yep I’m sure they faked covid results (even though it’s done by an external company) to get games called off.

They made up injuries, I think you'll find, not Covid cases.

That’s exactly what it means. They are literally the rules the premier league released. Clearly we don’t meet that standard. Neither did the other teams meet that standard. They had young players to fill the bench, just like we've got Thomas on the bench tonight. You know, an inexperienced lad. The...

Pope, Brownhill, Rodriguez and Cornet all missing. Couldn’t we have had this called off?

No, because as you can clearly see, we can field a team. I'd rather us not resort to the sort of dishonesty and cheating we've seen in recent weeks.

If McNeil is playing as the third central midfielder/ number 10 then great.

If not, then rubbish.

And if they test negative after 7 days. I am still yet to meet anyone that has tested negative on day 7.

You obviously have a very small sample size, then. Not representative.

ksrclaret

Pope out is a blow but Hennessey does inspire far more confidence than our options did last season.

Hopefully both Nick and Jay will be back for Leeds, depending on when their positive result were. Isolation time is 7 days now I think.

Some rumours on Twitter that this game might go ahead.
