Just out of interest CT who at the club has identified Weghorst and Cornet ? Seems bizarre that Dyche had no input into these arrivals.

If Rob Key gets the Director of Cricket I can see Sam Billings getting the job. Far too much of a workload for Ben Stokes.

onewillieirvine

Selection would be interesting if Jennings, Buttler, Livingstone, Jimmy and Mahmood were added to the mix

onewillieirvine

I think Athers lad played against Lancs recently for Leeds Bradford Uni, alongside a lad with a future from Leyland, Kurtis Watson.

A sad day indeed, Andy was everything you would want a Burnley footballer to be. Thanks for the many memories. RIP Andy.

onewillieirvine

Crawley gone, nicked to the keeper. No idea where his off stick is again. 4/1

onewillieirvine

I reckon these two are a fourth seamer at best in most test sides. Not opening the bowling.

onewillieirvine

Good report CT, Let's hope it's our Mc Fadden and Whitehead time. Here's to three more against Spurs

onewillieirvine

Safe journey to all Clarets travelling in for the game. Here's to three points.

onewillieirvine

Looks like Thorpe has gone as well. Busy time for Strauss.

onewillieirvine

Thanks for the Tech Service update CT. I expect he's now aware of the problems.

onewillieirvine

Out of interest who is accountable for the website ? Is it outsourced or have we a TS dept of our own?

onewillieirvine

Same here CT........ Exciting times..

onewillieirvine

Yes he spent a fair time coaching the young lads at Liverpool, certainly one to watch for the future. A little more investment in the summer and I see Blackpool as a top six side.

onewillieirvine

He is CT, with what appears to be a fairly limited budget as well.

onewillieirvine

If I were West Brom I'd be making the lad at Blackpool an offer he couldn't refuse.

onewillieirvine

We've played the last twenty years or so in the top two leagues and as far as I can recall only managed to get Jay Rod and McNeil into anything like seasoned campaigners. So I don't see anything will change overnight. Exciting times indeed Silky

onewillieirvine

Mind you CT it was worth the wait, Frank Casper was a great signing for us. Signing a player of his ilk would go down well this weekend. I expect Mr Pace will be a busy man.

onewillieirvine

Good job this board wasn't about in the 60's I don't think we paid money for a player from Alex Elder in 1959 to Frank Casper in 1967

I've got faith in Mr Pace to come up with the goods.

onewillieirvine

Under the new regime, I would have expected they have understood what our failings have been regarding transfers under the previous ownership and look to not have a repeat show.

onewillieirvine

Where to next one wonders. I fully expect us to have a plan B, anything less would be extremely negligent.

onewillieirvine

I reckon we need a minimum of seven more wins. A point on Sunday gets us going again. I think the Leeds game will be our Everton moment.

onewillieirvine

If I had to pick one then it would be Ralph Coates, May 71. A sad day for our fans.

onewillieirvine

All the best CT, hopefully you've got a few reports of signings at the ready.!

onewillieirvine

I'm hoping Ben has some positive information to go with his earlier post. I'm sure the sale of Wood hadn't been remotely any part of the equation.

onewillieirvine

I think what our board and manager say in public, will be far different to what is said behind closed doors.

onewillieirvine

I'm hoping that the positive information from one of our trusted posters Ben Wickes comes to fruition. Any updates you can share as yet Ben ? We sure need some good news.

onewillieirvine

The next couple of weeks will need to see us improve our starting eleven, by at least three signings. It will also give us a clear indication as to where our board see us next season. Twenty one games left roughly twenty seven points needed. Hopefully yesterday's game is our Everton moment.

onewillieirvine

Even after fifty years I can still feel how I felt after reading in the newspapers about the sale of Ralph. In five years we had disposed of our team that finished third, save for John Angus, quite an achievement even for our board. Great article CT on one of the saddest days for many Clarets I'm su...

In my time watching

Brian O'Neil
Martin Dobson
Brian Flynn

In the current climate it would be a P A disaster for Aussie cricket to re appoint Smith. Cummins would be a bold move, he would be the first quick in sixty five years!

onewillieirvine

Nike have now withdrawn as their kit supplier. I would imagine a few may have to fall on their sword here.

onewillieirvine

The Hants commentator is Kevan James I think, left arm seamer who played for them and Middx in 80's and 90's

onewillieirvine

Our former central defender is his uncle!

onewillieirvine

He should be ready to be unleashed against Rochdale.

onewillieirvine

Tom Heaton playing for us again?

onewillieirvine

Our top three is a major worry, I can see Joe Root calling it a day as captain after the Ashes tour. Another thumping series loss might be a bridge too far for him. Knowing our system they'll probably burden Stokes with it.

onewillieirvine

Good game to win now, what a shambles of a day

onewillieirvine

A fantastic goalscorer, on a par with Jimmy Greaves and Willie Irvine for me. RIP Gerd

onewillieirvine

Indeed it is but they managed to lose seven for approx a hundred today.

onewillieirvine

One of the problems is there's no red ball cricket played through the summer, no chance for any of this lot to run into any form.

onewillieirvine

We've managed to bat for sixteen overs and gone nowhere again. The Aussie quicks will be rubbing their hands

onewillieirvine

Haseeb on the Bakerloo line....

onewillieirvine

The Everton left half was Brian Harris I think

onewillieirvine

The new Willie Morgan

onewillieirvine

Hameed appears to be the in line, effectively still three openers who bat overs but don't seem to cash in. Mind you three openers worked on the 70/1 Ashes tour so you never know. Twice in fifty years is a good average.

onewillieirvine

Yes, very unusual indeed. Looking back the board had some vision building two stands with no standing facility beneath. A massive change away from how the ground looked circa 1965/6 season.

onewillieirvine

I was meaning teams usually got changed in an area which had a terrace/paddock or a stand and a paddock/terrace. I was wondering if we were the first to have an all seater stand behind a goal ?

onewillieirvine

I think they might mean purely a stand not a stand with the paddock underneath. I don't remember an all seater stand behind a goal before ours, however, as ever I'm open to correction.

onewillieirvine

I sense a one year deal coming up for Lennon, with the obligatory option of a further year.
