Brentford 2 Burnley 1 - Foster 52 mins

Devils_Advocate

I've often noticed that fans really get behind the team and make a lot of noise when they get a player sent off. Im not sure if its allowed but instead of waiting for the ref to send one of our players off we could just start the game with 10 men and get the crowd behind us from the first whistle. I...

Hopefully Brentford's ground isn't close to any rivers with whats happened in Rotherham and this storm hitting the South East pretty hard

Devils_Advocate

No point the club going to all the trouble and expense to start trying to move and rehouse away fans (as well as the displaced home fans) when the home fans can't be arsed to sing and make any noise at all. At least when I watch it on TV you usually get some noise out of the away end that makes a bi...

Devils_Advocate

Not sure how we would organise it but I think the all the fans should remain deathly silent for the whole match. I reckon it would confuse the opposition fans and players so much that we would be 3 or 4 up before they managed to work out what was going on. I have emailed this suggestion to Mr Pace t...

Vegas "Arsenal have really improved their atmosphere this season"

CT "But I have been to Arsenal 9 times in the past so how can they have improved their atmosphere this season"

Devils_Advocate

As someone who watches our games on TV I have been very disappointed with the Burnley home support this season. If you don't want a drum then my advice is to pull your finger out, up your game and make some bloody noise.

Last time he was 4th official he held the injury time board upside down and they played 9 mins extra instead of 6

Devils_Advocate

Equivalent of having two margarines on the go and if you ask me thats a nightmare scenario

Devils_Advocate

Dont think we beat both Palace and Brentford but I think 8pts is definitely doable

Devils_Advocate

To play devils advocate are koleosho, Tresor Odebert and Brun Larsen any better than Zaroury and Benson. We seem to have spent a £100m on 14 players but have we improved the quality of the starting 11 Its left back, right back and centre back where I think our business has been poor as I think the ...

I prefer Dyche’s approach to the Premier League than Kompany’s.

Kompany’s style edged in the Championship, but Dyche Ball was far more effective at this level.

Yep we got relegated the first Dyche Prem season so I doubt we'll better that

Devils_Advocate

Is Zaroury any better than Koleosho, Tresor, Odebert and Brun Larsen? Its very close and debateable but post World Cup Zarory had a pretty quiet second half to the season and we've seen the size of the step up when players like Beyer, Cullen, Brownhill and Roberts are struggling. Cullen looked like ...

There’s plenty of internet forums where rugby fans slag off and call the ref corrupt with big club bias blah blah blah, so your argument falls down at the first hurdle. Rubbish, nothing like to the extent of football and you wont have a Sky Sports program dedicated to analysing and explaining every...

Devils_Advocate

There isnt the money and more importantly their isnt the obsessive passion in the fans like football which makes it a lot more easy for things to be accepted. You can have ago at the footy players about dignity and respect but show me a rugby teams fans forum where they are as biased and pathetic as...

Devils_Advocate

Been out all day so missed first 20 mins but surprised at some of comments on the team. Koleosho was due a rest and Andoumi is a no.10 so with 3 midfielders (Berge, Brownhill, Cullen) he doesnt really fit in. I expected it to be Larsen and Tresor but swapping the wide men isnt shocking at all. At th...

Burnley 1 Chelsea 2 Berge 50 mins

Devils_Advocate

Its a long way off and a lot can change but Id be tempted to try and keep hold of Southgate as I think he would be the perfect manage to lead us into a home tournament. We was a penalty shoot out away last time and with 5 more years to prepare for I cant see how we would fail to win. The only risk I...

Devils_Advocate

Only played 2 matches against teams who finished outside the top 8 last season. Both those matches were away and we've picked up 4 pts in them. Long way to go and there's a lot of improvement to come but so far so good and reckon there's 4 teams already looking worse than us and by January I think w...

Read the thread fully and what I wrote I said do not go the motorway and to go that route your talking about so they'd be entering the centre the opposite way. Im not gonna argue bout this as its not that important but you literally said this which is nonscience Get the train to stand any chance. L...

Devils_Advocate

Depends which way you go and also depends where you live in Leeds, he went M62 then M621, J2 closed all traffic sent through J3 with 10 roads in Leeds centre around the city square all closed. One way traffic took hours and missed his show. Not nonsense at all it's fact You said to stand any chance...

Devils_Advocate

Get the train to stand any chance. Leeds city centre has major roadworks at the moment causing horrendous traffic issues, you will not make it in time if you leave after the Turf. A friend of mine left Burnley at 5 ish Saturday to go to Leeds Arena and was still no where near by 8pm and turned back...

Taylor's been our best player. If we're going to get something out of this then that probably needs to change.

I think Luton have tactically singled him out to be the player they leave free and gave space to as they know he's the least likely cause them an issue

Leeds college of building on Byron Street.. Only has parking restrictions during college hours. Free and a five minute walk from the arena. All the street parking around that area is free on evenings too. No big queues to get out of multi-storeys. This is your best bet and use Trafalgar Street or B...

Five games into a season isnt a long time. I remember 5 games into last season... Going nowhere fast if we continue to play out from the back in that way though. I simply do not understand this passing around the keeper. Ok if you have players the quality of Man City but we don’t have that luxury. C...

Devils_Advocate

Worth remembering 4 of the first 5 games have come against teams likely to finish in the top 8 if not the top 6. I'll judge where we are when we've played at least 5 or 6 games against the bottom 10-12 clubs and if we're still looking like a bottom 3 side then I'll start to worry

Devils_Advocate

Zaroury on for either Ramsey, Berge or Brownhill. Id swap out Brownhill but the safer option is prob to sub Ramsey.

Berge alongside Cullen, Ramsey behind Amdouni and Zaroury and Koleosho wide

Devils_Advocate

Think Ramsey will play the JBG role so wide right on paper but a bit more narrower than Kolesho who I think will hug the left touchline and provide the width. Cullen and Brownhill deeper with Berge having the freedom to play more behind Adoumi. Like the line up and only change I might have made is Z...

Devils_Advocate

Like the line up today. Maybe would have played Zaroury instead of Berge and had him and Ramsey interchangeable between the No 10 role and out wide.

That said I also wanna see Berge get a start cos played in a more forward role I think he offers something a bit different

Can you come up a verse for every player in the first team squad. Could replace "ten men went to sh*t" as our longest song.

Typical of todays older generation who have no thought for the younger generations and seem happy for society to be destroyed as long as they're well off and alright

Salford 1 Burnley 4 - Benson 27 mins

Devils_Advocate

Would like to see some game time for Muric, O'Shea and Delcroix at the back and Massengo and Zaroury in midfield and then whatever team is built around those five. Im torn between giving Tresor and Ramsey some more minutes as they are going to be key players versus giving minutes to Benson, Redmond ...

If it doesn't work our for Dyche at Everton Id like to see us offer him an ambassador role at the club as I think the way he speaks and conducts himself is first class I think he would be a real asset being a representative of our club.

League cup is subject to some sort of black out if I remember correctly. The only games televised anywhere in the world will be the ones that are also on Sky Sports. Close but I think one US channel has the rights and get to show an additional game to the ones Sky Sports show so I think they are no...

I know it wasn't quite at the same level but I reckon Marlon Beresford in his first spell is best keeper Burnley have had probably since the 60's

Very good OP. Id say Man Utd are the only away fans in England who top Leeds away support although its a close one

Devils_Advocate

I think I said that precisely once and I don’t know which specific thread you decided to pull that up from but I bet it was one of the first few weeks of the season - certainly not later on. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was after Preston away after conceding to a set piece. Roberts was absolutely tos...

Zero, and if we return to those suicide tactics then the result will be the same. Aye but this time last year Spijed was telling us we had no chance of promotion with our dodgy defence whilst you was calling for VK to be more pragmatic and play Taylor and Lowton at full back Thankfully VK didn't ha...

Surely you believe that Trafford should have been sent off for time wasting and Cullen should have given away a penalty for handball?

Don't be such a drama queen

Devils_Advocate

Nothing special but at least with the support from VAR he got all the big calls right

Devils_Advocate

Step backwards for me similar to when people were calling to play him at left back last year and for Lowton to play right back at times when we looked a bit fragile at the back. If its a short term fix whilst VK works on how he can fit in someone like Delcroix into a flexible defence then fine but o...
