I’ll ask you again ,What has VK learned since the City game up to the end of February? can you honestly say that one aspect of the team has improved? and as regard to signing the players who got us here ,Muric,Roberts ,Zaroury,Benson ditched. Roberts ditched :lol: Roberts was the first name on the ...

She appeared on the tv programme about JJ Watt and spoke about us winning the league in 1960 with only two professional players in Elder and McIlroy. She said the rest worked down the mine on a Saturday morning and then turned up at the Turf in their working clothes, got changed and played. How do ...

KRBFC

She’s just another one of the wannabe famous social media football fans.

Another member of the Alan Pace brown nosing gang, sorry I meant the fan advisory board. It seems her inclusion in that has gone to her head, she’s now got the power to speak for us all!

Don’t worry I’ll give you my full match review after Sundays performance, I hope there aren’t too many calamities to report upon

Well you said last season was boring tippy tappy lucky football, so you simply cannot be pleased.

KRBFC

Anyway Sunday is the day it all clicks for Kompany so KRBFC can come on here and say I told you so, he is the best manager in the premier league and saves Pace emptying his bank accounts on Monday morning for his massive pay off. Or you can tell us all how rubbish we were without even watching the ...

You assume they will pick at least an odd point up from us, Luton, Everton or Sheffield United who they still have left to play.

You misread my post, I didn’t say we needed 9 points I said that’s how many we need to make up on them.

KRBFC

We have to make up 9 points on Forest in 11 games then beat them at home on the final day to stay up.

And that’s without considering any penalty Forest may face

KRBFC

One of the reasons why not having so many changes to start the year was so important - fielding a massively changed side in a system that infamously took 10-15 games to gel last year against better opposition was really silly. I agree with you about so many changes but there’s obvious reasons for t...

Agree, but my point badly put is that Rovers managed to raise their game - something we seem incapable of doing.

They’re 16th in the league below, the league we are the current champions of, the title we won at their own ground.

Stop comparing us to them!

KRBFC

Now we’ve got people on here praising 16th placed Championship minnows Rovers for losing in an FA Cup game, just to dig at Burnley.

Some of you have seriously lost the plot.

KRBFC

How can you judge anything from highlights ? And if you don't want to watch (and I don't blame you tbh, you truly aren't missing much!) because it's so bad then why even watch the highlights ? He’s a blatant attention seeking troll, at least the other negative posters are enduring the games so enti...

KRBFC

Proper embarrassing to praise Luton when they got walloped for 6 to slag off Burnley.

How long ago was that? anyhow its obvious you just want to disagree with everything i post so best to just block me and ill do the same, enjoy the dross!

So you’re criticising performances when you haven’t watched the game but you want people to take your opinion seriously?

KRBFC

I don't have to explain myself to you but I stopped watching around game 15 i think when i could see there was no effort being put into team selection and the manager was clueless. I will be watching on sunday as its one of the games on sky. You havent a clue what your on about regarding me being a...

I’m jealous of the German Bundesliga, blows our soulless stadiums out of the water. Flags waving and chanting regardless of the result.

KRBFC

Remove VAR Drastically decrease ticket prices and drastically expand stadium capacities. I genuinely wonder how many fans would turn up to Old Trafford if tickets were £15 an adult, £5 a child and Man United were doing well. 100,000+? (This is hypothetical, I’m aware OT has a capacity of approx 75k ...

KRBFC

And I didn’t say you’re pretending because I disagree with your opinion on VK, I said that because you practically said it yourself when you admitted to not watching games. Yet you’re on here stirring the pot after defeats.. And frankly anyone who thinks we were a boring tippy tappy crap lucky side ...

KRBFC

They just love to listen to their own opinion repeated back to themselves, must be comforting. Echo chamber springs to mind! You said yourself you haven’t been watching our games this season, yet you comment after every result? you also said last season was boring tippy tappy football and we were f...

What happens last season is of no relevance.

Why is it not relevant? Winning the title with 3 losses and 100+ points is now suddenly irrelevant to BFC fans? It’s the division we will be playing in next season.

Mark Robins.

Why what has he ever achieved? He’s had like 8 seasons in the Championship?

KRBFC

From what I've seen of McKenna he has certainly got the best out of the resource he's had available at Ipswich, and he's competing with bigger teams. That's a scenario that we could well find ourselves in again- so there's possibly some synergy there. Ultimately I'm a man who wants to see a manager...

KRBFC

Am I in charge of recruiting the next manager now? You're requirements are winning a league in England or a foreign league then- so you wouldn't consider Potter? (Not that I think he would come, but you asked for a name). I'd be happy to take a punt on McKenna, like I said it doesn't matter that he...

KRBFC

Here it is. In response to another poster. You are dismissing candidates who have not won a League in England. Therfore its one of your requirements Vegas is talking about the comparison between Kompany and others. You’re talking about hiring a manager when we haven’t got one. 2 entirely different ...

KRBFC

The ALK strategy is to buy a load of kids, and only kids, when they become good sell them on and pocket the profit. If that doesn’t work then assest strip. They are in this to make money and they will do that. If that means the clubs gets liquidated then so what? Why should they care! They are busi...

KRBFC

Depends on what the barometer is really - No doubt about it, last season was very enjoyable, a breathe of fresh air and a wildly successful season overall. Ultimately it only got us to where we were in August 2021, albeit with pretty much a brand new and much younger squad... Now we look to return ...

KRBFC

That's just not true at all and for a number of reasons. 1- We had money, we just didn't invest it in the squad. We used it to buy ourselves. 2- We had no debt, not only did we have money, we actually had 0 debt. We could have leveraged some just as ALK have, we'd have been in a much better positio...

KRBFC

Also it’s fickle to really make judgement on the strategy just yet, 6 months ago you would have said it was a success, now you will say failure, 6 months down the line you could be saying it’s a success again.

KRBFC

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the strategy, it’s just you have to find the balance. I’d be interested to know who VK wanted and who he was given, is he the fall guy? Was he really happy with the players we got? Also I don’t understand fans who are saying Ramsey is a waste of money, I thi...

KRBFC

Lukebakio with... checks notes... 2 goals in 12 for Sevilla? Some serious excuses made for VK. Any silly arse can go out and keep buying players - how about managing them in a way to maximise their ability to get results in the Premier League? It’s not an excuse for VK, it’s just the reality of rec...

KRBFC

What happens to a squad that’s checked out this season? Can you just pick them up and dust them down? Do you trust him with another major transfer window after the shambles the last two have been? He failed to spot the gaping holes in the squad and instead brought in winger after winger. He’s sent ...

KRBFC

I hated seeing our captain smile as he got sent off in a must win game, annoyed me probably more than it should’ve.

KRBFC

Also you can say GO without being utterly disrespectful and classless with comments like “ruined the club” “clueless” etc Just remember what this man achieved for this football club last season, you should be grateful to VK for that. Winning the title at Ewood. We are playing at this level because o...

KRBFC

He’s a very young inexperienced manager and it shows but I think long term he’ll develop into a manager good enough for this level. I think he’s been stitched up with some of the signings and some of those we didn’t get. I think he will accept mistakes were made and we simply couldn’t recover from t...

We aren't playing any different to last season, it's just that the quality of teams we're facing is higher.

We aren’t playing even remotely a similar system to last season though, I wish we were! One full back in midfield, one high and wide. High pressing. It’s all gone completely

KRBFC

I’ve no doubt all our players are technically good with the ball at their feet. Unfortunately you need more than that in a team like Burnley. I don’t disagree with you but if the structure of the side was better he could flourish. I’d love to see his distance covered stats, I feel like this lazy na...

Do you honestly reckon there'll be a repeat of that? No hangover? If yes then stick with him. I'm not so certain

There’s no such formula, there’s only one way to find out

KRBFC

We’ve had nothing but upheaval every window, the club is desperate for stability.

KRBFC

Major upheaval before an important Championship season where we will be favourites for the title just sounds incredibly stupid.

KRBFC

Doesn't work like that. This season's VK is not the same as last season's VK, and this season's Burnley is not the same as last season's Burnley. What's important is that we're currently insipid, with nothing to suggest we'll turn this around and lots to suggest we'll get worse. It sounds ludicrous...

KRBFC

You're right - he finished first then lost the playoff or whatever the hell they do. Again, as I said - left field (but half makes sense with our owners) Nancy would be a better fit, possession based style, 4 at the back. Had to replace their best player mid season in Zelaryan. I don’t want a 5 at ...

KRBFC

Pat Noonan did not win the MLS either, Wilfred Nancy did with Columbus Crew

KRBFC

I like Rosenior Carrick Robins and McKenna too but better than VK? I don’t see how

VK has never lost to any of those managers in 8 games. 6 wins and 2 draws.

KRBFC

I don’t know what some fans watch, I think he’s technically brilliant and see a real player in him. Some of the dribbling and turns are outrageous bits of skill, the structure of the team is just terrible. The sides so bad it’s easy to scapegoat the player who runs around like a headless chicken the...

KRBFC

I wouldn’t declare myself a tactical expert but we are playing nothing like the formations last season. In most games I couldn’t even work out what formation we were playing. Nothing but 4 4 2 this season. Exactly which is the most disappointing thing for me, I’d rather we actually did go down play...

KRBFC

We even went to the Etihad last season and high pressed the life out of them, City fans were booing because their keeper was holding the ball until we forced him to boot it long. Fair enough we got pasted 6-0 in the end but I think most BFC fans were encouraged by our bravery and performance in the ...

KRBFC

No - he tried it at the beginning of the Season, Cullen was filling in at fullback but our Keeper and also the centre half he signed couldn't play the short stuff at any sort of speed and we just got pressed to death. Then he changed. At Spurs we saw a throwback to last season with Cullen splitting...

KRBFC

I’m still VK in, I believe he will learn from this season and put it right with time.

We should have stuck to our in depth VK system, 4231 inverted full back, high press possession and overloading the wide areas.

We didn’t recruit to play that way either.

KRBFC

I’ve said it many times but the most disappointing thing is we got promoted with an inverted fullback (Roberts), a high and wide full back (Maatsen), Cullen the deepest man at times collecting off the goalkeeper and filling in for the high full back. Inverted wingers, Gudmundsson not used wide but c...

KRBFC

Good grief, why has he taken Taylor off? Great impact by vitinho, this would allbe hilarious if it wasn't our beloved team Shows how players like Taylor can do no wrong on here, he was absolutely awful today and getting destroyed. 0 tackles won, 0 blocked crosses, possession lost 18 times, possessi...

KRBFC

What I don’t like about this club though, and this messageboard, is the singling out of 18, 19, 20, 21 year old players. We should be better than that as supporters. Players like Odobert will have quiet games at his age. He is a talent. Just supporters scapegoating players, it’s always been the sam...
