All to play for. Beat Everton and the bums will be squeaking louder at Everton and Leeds. Both of those teams were lucky this week but their luck may run out. Frank Lampard prancing around like a 5 year old with their last minute winner and Leeds getting yet another appalling decision from a refere...

I was also at that game, sat in the cricket field stand and remember the Alan West goal seeming to take an age to go in.
The longside chants of there's going to be a riot when sung on masse was more risque than swearing is nowadays.

The first column is if we play it to Wout's feet, the second column is if we boot it forward anywhere.

Why did he have no option and at what point should he have sacked the manager?

The option of sacking Dyche wasn't really an option at all because the players would have downed tools for a new manager. I can't recall the timing, but will have a look back to find the related incidents.

This old tale - I am still waiting (it has been over a year now) for someone to show me evidence of this, preferably with an understanding about the accounts throughout his tenure (or at least or current run in the Premier League) taking in the overall costs of running a football club (you know the...

Penny for Mr Pace's thoughts tonight.

He's still laughing at Newcastle giving us £25m for Wood.

If we are going down, lets not go down with a wimper or a told you so. Lets go down giving it a fight & try to give the fans something to hold on to over the summer.

Should’ve gone out all guns blazing before last Saturday.

That's what I said to Dyche before the game, but he went 442

Nonayforever

Agree. We've had multiple opportunities to win a game to climb out of the bottom 3 and each time failed to capitalise. We still have a chance but it's going to take an extraordinary turn around in form and results. I think we need to win 4, maybe 5 of our 7 games next month. A great shame but so ma...

We hit the woodwork it bounces to safety, other teams do it, it bounces back to an attacker..lady luck really has deserted us I'm afraid

Both goals were defenders giving the ball back to attackers.

Nonayforever

Brilliant game to watch. Literally anything could happen.
Wolves forgotten how to defend, Leeds going for it.
Must be more goals in it , but for who ?

Nonayforever

With the nucleus of the current squad and Dyche, we will struggle. As many posters have pointed out, we are stale and that is with a new ownership. We would be even worse under Garlick. A proper clear out is required. Norwich geared up to be an up and down team but have changed their strategy mid te...

The thing with this match wasn't the fact that we were torn apart by a better team, we just didn't do the basics right which is far more worrying.

Nonayforever

I would imagine this applies to a lot of the British players.
It's the X factor syndrome.
The youth of today believes in instant success.

Dyche is employing a heart surgeon to knock a shed together.
He isn't a target man.

Cheers John for that.

Welcome back to Dycheball.

I like Wout, I think he is a clever talented footballer. Far better than Wood with the ball. However I feel we would never have signed him had Wood stayed and also feel that Dyche didn't want to lose Wood at any cost. After watching the Palace game my fear is that Dyche will revert to his Dycheball ...

Confidence is flowing through the team at present. Josh Brownhill epitomises that confidence. Is it the "Wout Syndrome" or has Sean taken everyone out of their "comfort zones" ;) It's definitely the Wout syndrome. Wood won many headers but flicked it forward to no one or laid it off to the oppositi...

To be honest something has changed for the whole team in the past few matches - maybe Dyche has taken the shackles off and decided if we going down we are going down fighting. We don't look like that pre-xmas team that had no belief in their ability to stay up. or maybe the new sports psychologist ...

Right So a player who played at the top, top, top level for his entire career looked a different class in all those around him in League One (or was it still Div three then?)

Everyone blaming the weather, service, first game, tactics etc etc.
I remember Ian Wrights first game for us, he didn't have a good game but clearly looked a different class to those around him. I didn't get that impression with Wout.

Nonayforever

Dyche won't get sacked, he won't change formation or tactics. The threat of relegation is now pretty high. Going down and having a clear out may be a blessing in disguise. Unfortunately Dyche will still continue with his system , even with new players in a different league. The most telling & disapp...

Doing deals on Wall Street is not signing professional footballers though. It would appear we couldn't shift Rigg quick enough but I do think he needed replacing.

We won’t go down, and we will be fine. At this present time, I think staying up will be far more of a financial burden than being relegated. Staying up means a huge financial cost in replacing OOC players. Going down will reduce the wage bill by about 50% ? and make the cost of replacing players si...

They are quite hefty fines no matter what each player earns.

You have to remember that any player earning £40,000 per week will be paying 45% tax plus NIC. So a £10k fine is substantial, and for some dopy clever charlie's they will be paying every week.

Nonayforever

I'm giving it a 1.
We didn't actually need to improve the squad, just add to it.
A young ( 23 or 24 Yr old) lad with a bit of speed to replace Cork or JBG off the bench for 10 or 15mins at the end of the game would have been sufficient.

Nonayforever

I welcome any new Burnley player, but it reminds me of all those years ago when we used to play Stockport.
We had David Eyers & Ted Mcminn supplying Adrian Heath & Johnny Francis.
Stockport had big John Francis.
I thought then and still think now that skill and speed is better than height.
