In answer to the second part of your question, unfortunately not. I’ve used three different parking apps - RingGo, MiPermit and Good2Go - in the last few weeks alone. You’ll just have to check the signage for which app they’re using. I do tend to find them easy to use and obviously convenient if you...

Not entirely sure what’s wrong with the concept of key performance indicators which I would imagine perform a pretty important role in terms of setting targets and assessing under performing areas in business. There’s a specific section dedicated to them in pretty much every major company’s financia...

Did anyone think the Kompany changed his tactics yesterday? I can’t remember us playing out from the back very much

He’s changed them earlier than yesterday (we were out passed by Luton the other week) partly, I think, to accommodate the keeper.

Swizzlestick

There were a good few games around Christmas/January time where we weren’t just controlling it for fun from the centre circle and we had to dig it out a bit (Stoke away, Swansea away etc) and Muric was a big part of that. And as mentioned, a big part of our possession control in games was due to the...

Two different posters.

http://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?style=2&f=2&t=65392&p=1945347&hilit=Muric#p1945347 Interesting thread. I could go on… 😉 Was intrigued to see my post at the time and it was: Poor performance from Muric today but arguably the two centre backs were worse. Typical hyperbole from ...

Swizzlestick

A bit of an odd OP considering the same poster was bemoaning the lack of fight and old Burnley values, if you will, not so long back. Ironically our previous manager was also serving a touchline ban today. There’s a lot to criticise Kompany for this season, but showing some emotion? Justifiably too....

Swizzlestick

I don’t even think it’s the money. He did drop Tresor eventually and he preferred Koleosho ahead of Odobert pre injury despite him costing less. I think he’s just gone ‘all in’ with him and he’s been expecting him to grow into the role as number one. Unfortunately for us, it hasn’t happened, so it’s...

According to Michael Dawson who was covering the game for Sky, Fofana missed a couple of golden opportunities to get Burnley back in the game at 1-2, one chance being described as “an open goal”. No stick for Fofana though, losing the match was entirely down to a goalkeeper error by Trafford. Well ...

Swizzlestick

It was time for a change months ago but here we are. Past caring for this season now. Totally ****** it so we may as well just keep playing him so he’s ready for the Championship which is where he should have been playing this season anyway. It’s not like Muric is going to want to stick around, and ...

Swizzlestick

And there’s another game gone. Yes, there’s other issues but it’s basic errors that have again cost us. Totally derailed our season. Not the lad’s fault but cannot believe this has been allowed to go on for so long.

Swizzlestick

We were in the game too. And he does that. I’d say he has to bite the bullet with this goalkeeper but it’s too ******* late now.

Swizzlestick

Utterly shocking goalkeeping. Should have been out of the team months ago.

Swizzlestick

Interesting comments from the Birmingham fans about him - I thought he was universally respected due to getting them up the league but his football was apparently conservative to the point of utter tedium, and a lot were happy to see him go. Maybe that’s what Rovers need right now but do they have t...

Swizzlestick

Was Dyche ever challenged at these press conferences? Or indeed anywhere? Always seemed pretty softball.

Swizzlestick

If I was McGuire I’d be telling them to shove their ‘pre contract agreement’ where the sun doesn’t shine.

Swizzlestick

The chief exec, Waggott, was the best thing since sliced bread when he restricted our ticket allocation last season. Life comes at you fast.

Swizzlestick

I've never seen anybody look as disinterested in the manager's job as Tomasson did the other day. He may as well have been wearing a sandwich board saying 'please sack me'. Clearly that would cost money though... He actually comes across as a decent bloke, so I'm hoping he finds himself at a better ...

Swizzlestick

He doesn't have a mainstream opinion that's the problem & he says things the mainstream don't agree with. Some stuff he actually says makes sense when you think about it but some people just want to believe what they are told & are incapable of thinking for themselves or accepting alternative opini...

and the Trafford Hate Squad take over another thread

It’s been a perfectly reasonable debate so far, try joining it.

Swizzlestick

While I wouldn't go as far as being on full display in Burtons shop window, I still think we'll struggle to resell at a profit, certainly based on current form. I get the Ramsdale comparison in that he's young and English, but he won their player of the year award at Sheffield United due to a number...

Swizzlestick

I'm also not entirely convinced about Trafford's marketability for a resale at profit.

As good a left back I have seen in a Burnley shirt since Alex Elder

I'd be having Ward in ahead of Taylor any day.

Swizzlestick

I'd like both back in but he's not going to bring either back unless he's forced to through injury etc.

Swizzlestick

Perhaps they’ve been forgotten because a) there wasn’t that many of them and b) he markedly improved as the season went on, and was a crucial part of the team that romped to promotion.

Swizzlestick

NUFC bit of an odd side at the moment, which I guess comes with having pots of money. They did have the joint best defensive record in the league last season (with City) to be fair

Swizzlestick

This is getting boring your backing for Kompany is admiral ,but if he worked in a factory and was a brilliant section leader and you promoted him and he couldn’t hack it ,would you continue backing him if the company was going to the wall? Obviously not ,end of ,off to bed. Sorry my support for our...

Swizzlestick

I’m happy for blue badges to be issued for anybody with this awful diagnosis.

Signed.

Swizzlestick

So how long should we give him,until we’re relegated,until we’re in the bottom half of the championship next season,until there’s no chance of us being promoted,until he’s booed off the turf for his inept management skills ,or until his so call project just pie in the sky? Wow. Nowt as fickle as th...

Swizzlestick

Sorry ,but you just don’t get it ,but when your a little more mature you may reflect and understand what the poster was trying to say . Thank you for the patronising post but I ‘get’ what the poster is trying to put across. Considering what this manager achieved last season, it seems more than a li...

Swizzlestick

Well done Swizzlestick your the first to criticise a post from a long time passionate Clarets fan. So? I’m a long time passionate Clarets fan. But when somebody posts something like “Not one player is worth more money now than when we bought them” - that’s flat out nonsense. As is Trafford doing th...

Swizzlestick

It won’t be well received by all because it’s full of inaccuracies but it seems like we need to get the Simon Bates ‘Our Tune’ music out tonight.

Swizzlestick

That Berge tactical switch was utterly ridiculous. Couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing. Our most dynamic CM playing at times deeper than Ekdal!

Swizzlestick

Is this a serious post?! I’m pretty sure Pace and ALK are very well acquainted with the ramifications of relegation having been through it once already. It actually makes the whole argument that they somehow prioritised resale values over remaining in the league even more bizarre. You need to reali...

Swizzlestick

Well of course you wouldn't, because it suits your agenda. In fact if Trafford had been in the goal for that game I can 100% guarantee a number of his regular detractors would have blamed him for their goal! Of course I wouldn’t what? I’m just stating what I saw. Did the defence look better? Yes, n...

Swizzlestick

Crucially, we looked much better as a team when he played against Spurs. The defence looked more comfortable, the distribution had more zip to it and we looked more like our old self. I don’t think that was coincidental.

Swizzlestick

Yeah, not entirely sure what FC Burnley was seeing. Was surprised so many turned up considering how the season has gone and the opposition.

Swizzlestick

I think a lot want to see him being given a break - from the first team. He isn’t ready. He hasn’t been all season. It’s totally derailed our style, he has limited presence, he’s not great on crosses, he’s not communicative, he erases all tempo from the game, he doesn’t instil confidence in the defe...

They are shocking and they were shocking under Dyche. Everybody just seems to hide and they take an age.

All for show, should of been said in the dressing room

Don’t get this. Been wanting to see more of this all season and it’s been distinctly lacking. Looked like Foster who was getting things going too.

Swizzlestick

Considering we’ve won ONCE at home all season, I think the fanbase have been remarkably patient. I don’t think Kompany should go when we do go down, he should have the chance to get things going again next season but come on now.

Swizzlestick

He seems like a bit of a character, somebody who could ruffle a few feathers and while that may cause some issues, by christ we need somebody like that right now.

Swizzlestick

That is a very good question, I don’t think there’s a viable option currently. I’d love McKenna but you run the risk of being right where we started as he’s unproven. Plus, he ain’t coming to swop places. I think I’d take OGS but I think that’s a risk… But my top two would be (1st) Lopatagui (sp) o...

Swizzlestick

If it’s the toughest position on the pitch, why are we playing a 21 year old with League One experience only in the Premier League in a team where the keeper plays a crucial role in playing it out? It just hasn’t worked and we’ve now lost the style we were originally developing and doing some weird,...

Forgot Esteve - 7 - looked solid and composed

Swizzlestick

Trafford 4 - nope. Sorry, regulation shot stopping cannot cover up another completely overawed performance. Awful on the second and he sucks the life out of any tempo Assignon 6 - did ok O’Shea 5 - a Championship defender trying his best Ekdal 4 - leaden footed and pretty poor Vitinho 5 - he lacks q...

Swizzlestick

Wish you lot would shut the **** up about Trafford. He's a decent keeper already. We have had far far more serious problems this season. Trafford is not the problem. Christ knows what you were expecting to read in a thread entitled ‘Trafford’. And I keep seeing he’s not the problem when, to me, he’...

Swizzlestick

I was absolutely gone at Berge, our most effective CM, playing bloody CB. Mental.

Swizzlestick

I just feel sorry for the lad. Should’ve been taken out the firing line a good while ago. He clearly isn’t ready and it’s killing us. (He isn’t the only problem)
