Oh **** off

DCWat

What is that new song we come out to? It’s bloody awful - limp, bland and does nothing to rouse an atmosphere.

God please no, not another Mcneil, closer to the top of the tackling charts than assists/goals.

I’m not suggesting that but I do want to see more of a ‘for the team’ ethic. I think it’d be naive not to expect a level of that, the way we play. There’s a balance to be had, of course!!

DCWat

Pretty sure he has (had until United) the best goals per minute record in the PL. Only Burnley fans could complain about that. I’m certainly not complaining, I’ve seen signs of a very good player and I’m not criticising him. What I am saying though is that so far, I’ve not seen enough to warrant th...

DCWat

I’m yet to see a game where I think he’s been as great as many of his plaudits suggest. Great goals, flashes of real potential but not yet a wow he really is that good performance.

I’ll get pelters for this, but can only judge on what I’ve seen so far.

Klopp on Burnley: "I had the pleasure to watch Burnley against United. This situation explains the Premier League the best. The quality they produced was incredible. It was a proper team performance. There is a big possibility for them to still stay in the league. "They brought in a new striker [Wo...

The mobbing issue wan one that was supposed to be a focus, years ago. Isn’t it already only supposed to be the captain that can speak with the referee? If they really wanted to stamp out all the silliness in the game, they’d be booking and sending off players. As GIADJ says, all this has been going ...

Shilton retired earlier than that. South all played later - I think he was coaching at Bradford City and was called up due to injuries. I don’t think he played after that, in the league at least.

Being top player in terms of average ratings doesn't make him our best player.

It’s a really promising start for Collins though and I’m sure it’s a sign of things to come from him - whichever division we are in next season.

DCWat

No need to worry - if we all knew the details of this deal, which we can’t because it’s private, we’d all think what a super deal it was.

Nothing to worry about here, nothing at all!

Plus a player called Hamilton playing for Hamilton as well I think

So there is. Hamilton assist for Hamilton too, who lead 1-2 against the three Hamiltons of Arbroath.

DCWat

The £68m (if that is wat it is - we are unable to confirm CVHL/VSL having more than £98m on Dec 30 2020 ) is owed to the 7 sellers proportionately to the shareholdings they sold. Sorry if it’s already been covered on the shareholder thread (or elsewhere) but (and appreciating that our position has ...

Interesting line ups for the Arbroath v Hamilton game. Listening to it on the radio could get confusing

Three Hamilton’s playing for Arbroath against Hamilton?

DCWat

Get in!!

DCWat

Not seen the first point discussed before so who is it that is paid less money if Burnley are relegated? On the second point I may have misunderstood but is the suggestion that MSD would lend us £60m and agree for us not to repay it all should we get relegated? I can see why that would appeal to Mr...

Roberts Lowton has been a brilliant servant for us, but Roberts looks a real player He'll get better and better the more he gets used to how we play I’ve not seen anything so far to suggest he looks a real player. So far (and it’s very early days) I’ve been underwhelmed by him. I’m certainly not su...

One poster after the Watford game said he’s ‘not a patch on Wood’

I prefer him to Wood already!!

I’m amazed at that second half performance, especially when some on here have suggested that players are unsettled, unhappy and want out. First half wasn’t great but second, superb. Fight, grit, determination and some good football. Something seemed to click in Weghorst’s head in that second half - ...

Similar for me JH around the half way line there was a pillow blowing around on the pitch. (same size as used in bedding) Who brings a full pillow to a football game !

Had I known what was to be served up last night, I’d have been tempted to bring one myself.

DCWat

Doubt there will be many games on at Towneley tomorrow. I was disappointed at the final whistle but on encountering the weather conditions round by the Jimmy Mc I changed my opinion. Virtually impossible to play football in those conditions and I wonder if it might have been abandoned at half time ...

Don't know who Philip is but no, I don't know the exact figure but based on his reported £3m per year it would be around £12m. Which we can't afford.

Plus whatever else for Woan, Stone et al.

DCWat

It was like trying to gain yards until we got to a point where the ball could be thrown into the box.

I was expecting a far more threatening throw - it was more like a big up and over that gives the defence an age to pick up the flight.

DCWat

He can go for me. Tonight was the final straw against a poor Watford team. Their first clean sheet was inevitable. The team cannot be strengthened now the window has shut and we can blame Pace/Garlick whoever but we are left to go with what we have. As it stands we are not getting a tune out of thi...

DCWat

Tarkowski was the one that stood out.

For those wanting him gone after two poor displays, that’s two recent good displays on top of plenty of others this season.

DCWat

with our budget he perhaps should have sold some players at the top of their value in order to create a transfer kitty. IMO he has to shoulder some responsibility for our lack of transfer activity, both out and in. I don’t disagree with that - I’m not convinced he’s shown much flexibility in that r...

DCWat

Strange one. Showed some good touches at times but i can’t see how a striker that slow can make an impact. Might improve with better service at some point I didn’t think he looked that slow - certainly no slower than Wood. First game in a new league / country in shite conditions and in a really poo...

Sean could take us down to League One and people on here would still back him.

Had he been properly backed in the transfer markets over the last two or three years, I’d probably be saying his time was up.

DCWat

With the issues we obviously still have in getting deals over the line, it hardly fills me with confidence imagining Pace bringing in a suitable replacement, were we to sack Dyche. I’m disappointed with how poor the team has become - it’s stale and I do think that Dyche has to accept some of the res...

DCWat

Livened up in the second half, by what looked like a black dog poo bag, blowing around in the wind. It was a little reminiscent of the scene from American Beauty. Sadly it blew away and my attention shifted back to the dire display of “football” on show.

Is it Dyche's fault we didn't sign some? I don't think so.

I didn’t say that it was!

Stephens started well and got worse and worse and worse as the game went on.

If only we could have a transfer window to get some.

We need to push Roberts wide right and Lowts on at rb

Early days so I’m not writing him off but I want to see a lot more than that from Roberts - disappointed with him tonight (not that he was by any means the worst out there).

DCWat

Sorry to hear your sad news, BaronGarcia. I have everything crossed for a win tomorrow, doubly so now (if that’s possible). It’ll be really difficult for you seeing your Dad’s empty seat (or it being occupied by someone else) but I’m sure your Dad will be with you and cheering us on - hopefully to a...

DCWat

Far too early for these sort of reactions. However, I don’t expect to hear more rehashed excuses of previous failed windows. I’d like to hear an acceptance of the problems and have confidence that there’s a plan to move forward with. There have been a few pluses in his first 12 months but there rema...

DCWat

For all it was a position that we needed, and of course still do, it was central midfield that was the most glaring shortcoming. It was really disappointing not to address this. Whatever division we find ourselves in next season, we need to find some real quality in both of the above positions, and ...

DCWat

We're going down, it was always going to happen. Just hope we can get back up before the parachute payments end or it's back to selling players just to survive. There always was an inevitability that we’d be relegated. Frustratingly though, I really don’t think that this season needed to be that se...

DCWat

Interesting how this was the most important transfer window for years when really it's going to be this summers one that is. No, last summer’s one was the important one - we did better but ultimately didn’t do enough. The can that’s been kicked for too long has finally ended up down a dead end. Thi...

I would think Weghorst would not have been here had Wood not been sold.

That was exactly my point - had it not been for Wood leaving, we’d have likely brought in no one.

DCWat

We’ll never know but had Wood not been sold, would we have brought no one in? From a before the window to after the window view point, this is what we’ve done, which isn’t good enough.

We’ve not addressed key problems so I can’t see how it can be scored anything above a three, at best.

DCWat

If we fail to address the midfield issues in this window, it’s quite simply another failure in an ever growing list of poor transfer windows. Whilst the summer window showed some signs of improvement, it didn’t address the obvious key issues. These issues have come home to roost during the first hal...

If we don’t sign the RM we desperately need I’d be happier with Roberts teaming up with Lowton, at RB, down that side. He has great energy, when I’ve seen him for Wales he gets in the box and the bonus of his long throw if we can learn to use it.

RM is really needed, CM is a must.

Absolutely.

We’ve heard that one somewhere, once or twice before.

DCWat

The reason given in a number of media outlets (not sure if they have different sources) is that Zagreb were happy with the fee but did not like the method of payment. No idea if that is the truth but that is what is being reported. That would be disappointing if we did indeed receive the Wood fee u...

Hopefully all our irons weren’t in one fire - either way though it will make it very difficult to push a deal through at this late hour. It presumably limits our options significantly if there are also work permit requirements to consider. It’s a real shame as he did look as though he’d be a good si...

Central midfield has been awful this season in an attacking sense , I don’t think many would disagree with you. Too many passes back and not enough forward. The benefit of getting new attacking players in the team is that it should result in players being put on the bench who are no longer able to ...
