Thought about going, but it’s a ballache to get to. I don’t live in the Burnley area, so don’t have access to a supporters coach option. Parking is a nightmare if I drive and the train will cost a small fortune.

Need JDR to sort out a West Yorkshire Clarets bus

This thread has gone off on a tangent now - I don't think any Claret has been critical of JJ's involvement has there?

Just forzagranata’s post I think, which suggested he’s not bringing much to the table except repetitive stories about what Bene n Hot is.

Got about 4 apps on my phone and I’m sure there’s more to come. Drives me mad.

Whilst the away section is now a safe standing area and everybody did appear to stand, the gap between the front of a seat and the back of the seat in front makes it practically impossible to comfortably sit, unless you're a small child or a dwarf! I've probably forgotten the feeling of standing on...

In the first 9 games (up to Brentford away) we conceded 23 goals at a rate of 2.6 goals per game. We've conceded 27 in the following 15 games at a rate of 1.8 goals per game. Whilst 1.8 goals per game is obviously nothing to crow about and we still make plenty of mistakes, there's been an improvemen...

Not sure I agree with this. The first season Burnley went down under Dyche we conceded 53 goals and the season they stayed up 55 whilst scoring 25 and then 39 respectively. So scoring more goals kept them up, but so did having a much tighter defence than they have at the moment which is performing ...

Whilst they are still 7th with a record of 10-7-7?

Taking today out of it, they are doing pretty well.

Shearer’s right, but it’s hardly news. I actually think defending in the PL generally this season is poor. It’s probably an art that’s being lost a little bit. I’m sat watching the West Ham vs Arsenal game and some of the early defending from the former has been **** poor. How does tiny Trossard dri...

Well, regardless of who wins the most historically negative Burnley fan contest between Newcastle & KRBFC, the good news is that neither are the all time winner. That spot is reserved for Jordan Rushworth over on X. The lad is relentless. Twitterclarets is now pretty much him moaning and Indian spam...

Shall we have a friendly bet for charity - say £20 sponsoring jdrobbo for the London Marathon?

I like your odds.

We’re averaging 0.5 points a game, which is better than the 0.25 required to win your bet.

I’d up the ante.

Aren’t Forest likely to get a points deduction? Wouldn’t need that many wins if so.

I’m not even thinking about it, not least because you’ve then got appeals post-season.

Trafford 5 - He did 99% of everything pretty well, but… Assignon 7 - Good player this lad. Shame we won’t be able to sign him permanently Delcroix 6 - Solid enough and gave us a bit of physicality O’Shea 8 - Did well and a fantastic header for the goal Esteve 7 - Slightly unconventional at times, bu...

Once the Arsenal game is out of the way, we’ve probably got as “easy” a run in as anyone else in the bottom 6-7.

It’s too far gone though unfortunately. You’d be looking at 7-8 wins from the final 13 games. It’s beyond us.

My mum worked there from the 70s pretty much through to it closing. My grandad worked there for a bit too and I did a few summer stints there in the late 90s as a student.

Not really. The Radio Lancs guy even brought him food his wife had cooked.

There’s an element of repetitive misery about this season, that goes beyond what’s happening on the pitch. I’m not sure I can inflict the podcast on myself again this week. We’re not very good.

Doesn’t really make much difference to us now, but 9 of Brentford’s next 10 games are against sides in the top half of the table.

They also have to go to Luton and Everton after that.

It’s a tough run in.

Is it possible to have two tickets on one phone?
I've added my own to my Google wallet but the link in the email for my dad's ticket doesn't do anything when he clicks it

Aye. Just scan him in then do yours and go in.

Did that with my daughter at City on Weds.

Both genuinely inspirational young people.

To raise £350k for charity at any age takes some doing, but to do it whilst so young is amazing.

We were terrible, not sure how descirbe most if the first 70mins. Not sure there was toxicity, few groans but out right booing or grief i didnt really hear.

We paid in our world a lot of money and bar the United game he’s been absolute dogs&it. Not saying he hasn’t, but he’s played the equivalent of just over 4 games for us in the league - 386 mins - and he’s 21. The fee isn’t his fault, he’s still very young and I don’t think he’s been given the best ...

I noticed Foster going round before the game talking to everyone.

Didn’t have him down as a talker before today, but maybe he realises he needs to lead this young side a bit more.

agreenwood

He looked pretty good didn’t he? Decent on the ball, couple of good shows of strength and no slouch.

He looks a lot taller than he was billed as being too.

Ramsey hasn’t played well today and had struggled generally so far, but some of the comments I heard about him today were a tad disappointing. I heard at least two people describe him as the “worst signing in years” or words to that effect. To some extent i think he’s another victim of the imbalance...

Agreed in parts - I'm not that fussed about VK doing Q&As etc in all honesty - though him referencing last season a lot whilst simultaneously discarding a lot of that team is a bit hypocritical. My entire point on this and has been throughout the season is that there's just more to building a team ...

It isn't a binary choice between 'stale' and 'detached' by the way; that just highlights the problems at that particular time, which were evident for everyone to see. No, but I think plenty of people were feeling fed up and losing interest. Not sure if that’s the exact definition of “detached”, but...

agreenwood

The flip side to all this of course is that if you went back 2-3 years on here, there was also a sense of apathy and detachment towards the team and the old board. “Stale” was the “buzzword” back then. Similar in post ITV-Digital Stan day, much of Cotterill’s reign, Law’s time and a lot of Howe’s st...

Occasionally Dyche would appear at some unofficial events and so a Q&A and you’d get the odd bit of info on here, but I don’t remember too many official Q&A sessions with either Dyche or the directors. Towards the end, the main players on the previous board very rarely even did in-house media, never...

If there's not an awareness, they could always look at the betting markets. Burnley are median price 1/6 to be relegated... or there is around an 86% likelihood of relegation happening. Yep and i wonder if that awareness tempered any thought of trying to strengthen the squad significantly this Janu...

Agree with all of what you said, although we are 3 wins nearer to staying up than we were half hour ago :D 🤣 Genuinely don’t know how I made the error. Anyway, I just think there’ll be an awareness within the club of what we’re now facing, both in terms of the likelihood of us surviving and our abi...

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.

Whilst the club would never admit this, I’m not sure there’ll be much belief that we can avoid relegation this season and bringing in experienced/low risk/PL ready players who can improve us would be expensive. There may have been very few options that met that criteria. To get to 32 points we’d ne...

He was a regular starter until only relatively recently though. And started Europa League games in that time.

Hopefully he’ll be fine. I just looked back through a handful of Rennes games and saw he was an unused sub.

Surely he could have done better than the Dutch second division?

Roberts is one of those high end Championship players who don’t quite cut it in the PL. He more than played his part last season though once he’d got the World Cup out of the way. My slight issue with this transfer is I’m not sure we’ve got anyone better. Vitinho isn’t good enough either and the lad...

It’s a shame that he hasn’t kicked on like we thought he would. Although I don’t think his form fell off a cliff after the World Cup to the same extent some on here have said, I also don’t think he ever quite hit the same heights in the second half of the season. It’ll be interesting to see if his t...
