There's only one here with a thin skin

What’s the full story ? Did teams overspend thinking they was getting a lump sum which never came because of the collapse ? Which teams did the collapse affect the most ? I do remember watching matches on ITV Digital around 2000s but I would of only been young. I can swear when we got beat 5-1 at M...

I think it's been difficult to judge Beyer fairly this season at this level because he's not had settled partners and fellow defenders alongside him, he's had a young rookie goalie learning his trade and inevitably making mistakes behind him and I'm not certain he's ever been fully fit even when he...

Bar LWB we have all the personal to play 3-4-3 / 3-5-2 Beyer-O'Shea-Esteve would be a solid back three, with Delcroix/Chaz being able to provide cover at LCB and Ekdal for the central CB position In theory, having Beyer in a back three/defensive midfielder role in certain scenarios gives us flexibi...

I've lived in the US, working in sport, for over 12 years mate - and you're talking nonsense. Maybe once he could bring it up as a 'cute' story. But it's almost every time - including, unbelievably, on the Jimmy Fallon Show (a top US talk show) where a Bene tasting made up the bulk of his appearanc...

Fully agree with you Goody ,but all have a sudden anyone who calls anyone suddenly has an agenda ,when did this phrase rear its ugly head? There were some who were grinding their teeth when he was on the open top bus. Their thought process was that he's been here two minutes and will run for the hi...

Is this some kind of sick joke?

Goody1975

I find it difficult to compute keeping players out on loan, playing different systems to different expectations for a season helps mould a Burnley team. Surely, the objective is to have a core coming through together and another following… in a hopefully slowing down continue cycle of improvement… ...

Goody1975

I don’t disagree with Goody’s assessment, but you touch on the problem. How many of the better performers are we going to keep if we go down? We could end up with an endless cycle of rinse and repeat, new builds every season. If we are relegated, that is a major concern, we may well look at loaning...

Goody1975

I know it's highly unlikely but Assignon would be an unreal permanent signing Speed and physicality are imperative at this level, it's something we have lacked all season. I still have major concerns in the most important area of the pitch (central midfield), but we saw on Saturday how Esteve match...

and I'll just add, regardless of Burnley I think JJ and his Mrs come across as decent human beings and the world has a shortage of them at the moment Yes they do. Think he loves coming across to Lancashire and part of the reason is how the fans have taken to him and his wife, well except for a smal...

I'd love to believe we could suddenly cut out the soft goals but surely that is wishful thinking.

I agree, unless we cut out the soft goals we are dreaming but I think overall we are a better outfit (especially with the three new guys) than we were in the early stages of the season.

Goody1975

it does seem that way, it's a shame but whatever floats their boat. I guess some people get a buzz off being negative. Interviewed on the strip in Vegas by Sky Sports for their pre match coverage of the Superbowl. Again the interview starts with a discussion about Burnley. Anyone questioning his mo...

Goody1975

Because this is football and stranger things have happened. Totally against everything that has happened this season up to now but looking at our run in gives me confidence we can actually do it. I'd add to that, we have been better overall since the Arsenal game away when we finally realised that ...

Pretty sure at this point he's done far more for the club than you ever will. Like I said, unnecessarily petty.

Too many on here desperate for things to fail so they can say, I told you so.

NO he doesn't

Goody1975

Don't let the law makers see this, I'm sure they'll have some hair brained scheme to add 'excitement' to the game.

Maybe one player getting the use of an invisibility cloak for ten seconds after conceding.

Goody1975

Since the change to a more pragmatic approach at Arsenal in November, we have played thirteen games. Played 13 (6 Home & 7 Away) Won 2 Drawn 3 Lost 8 Scored 17 Conceded 23 Points 9 We have scored in ten of those thirteen games but conceded in twelve of them. We have to start looking like keeping cle...

The letter we receive this week will make all the difference.

Goody1975

Or, we just stop messing about with the game?

Goody1975

What a difference it makes, having Berge being able to pick up the ball in midfield and drive forward with it.

Good for dissent, the cynical fouls part will get them into a whole heap of trouble though, not sure Man City will have any players on the pitch

The massive frustration is many were saying we were dead and buried at Christmas. The last two home games on paper are the ones we had to target to get maximum points, we have been poor in both but six points would have seen us only two points from safety and only four points behind Forest in 16th p...

Goody1975

I thought he looked promising but remember he's played 45 minutes, he needs time to settle. Al Dakhil and Ekdal have looked fantastic at some stages of their time here but are now written off by many. Let's see how he does over the next few weeks before claiming he's the next big thing. If he makes ...

If it was going to happen, it would've happened long before now.

Trafford 6 - Some decent saves, some regulation ones. Not good enough on the ball when we need him to be and still doesn't command his box enough. Assignon 7 - Looks a good addition on first viewing. O’Shea 5 - Not helped by the change in tactics again. Ekdal 3 - As poor as he has been for us, we kn...

If everyone is fit (minus Koleosho who is long term): Muric Assignon O'Shea Esteve Taylor Brownhill Cullen Fofana Berge Odobert Foster. I really want to see Berge playing further up the pitch, Amdouni is stealing a slot in the starting XI. I genuinely think he can come good but he looks a shell of ...

You wait until one of the big six concede under these circumstances, it'll be in the bin by Saturday evening.

Remember the big fanfare about players leaving the pitch by the nearest point? Yep, almost never happens now, another fad that gets brushed away as soon as it's implemented.

Like it. Swap JBG and Berge to their more ‘natural’ side though.

Brownhill for JBG but that is just about the team I'd select. We give goals away and that's been a problem all season but we surrender the midfield battle week after week.

Goody1975

Yes, it added a lot of time for people getting in, resulting in many (who were there in plenty of time on a standard game) to miss the kick off.

Just to balance out the obvious negatives. I thought he was excellent when he came on, composed in possesion and excellent in the air. Lets hope he can keep that up.

All three newbies did well

Goody1975

As posted on the Burnley Vs Fulham thread... We tried Berge in a deeper role earlier in the season and it didn't work. On paper him stepping out of the defence to dictate things is a good idea, however the lads in front of him have to get a grip on the game otherwise he'll play as a centre half all ...

With a home record that reads P11 W1 D1 L9 Away P11 W2 D2 L7 I think relegation is a near certainty Hard to see where we are going to collect 22-24 points from 16 games It's a tall order but the home record is skewed by the fact we've played Man City, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Man Utd, Chelsea and Li...

Goody1975

Looks a decent signing in a position we needed to improve upon. He and Estéve need to be superstars though if they're going to make us better in central midfield, left back and up front as well. I personally have no issues at left back if Charlie Taylor returns shortly and stays fit till the end of...

Goody1975

Correct. Shocking maths from me. That’ll teach me for posting whilst stood in a queue 🤣 General point still stand though. Hell of a turnaround in form required. Tomorrow is a must win, you'd then assume the following two fixtures will end with defeats. That leaves us needing at least six wins from ...

Goody1975

You would hope we don't continue with the massive turnover of players each summer. If we can keep the core of this team together next season (no matter what division we are in), you'd assume the players will be fully acclimatised to the English game, have settled to the lifestyle and more importantl...
