Us and Sheffield absolutely shite

ksrclaret

Which bit of 'he turned us down' are you struggling with, because that certainly doesnt suggest we rejected him. At least read my post if you're going to quote it. I think we're all struggling with that, because it's not true. https://www.burnleyexpress.net/sport/football/vincent-kompany-reveals-de...

Luton & Rob Edwards put any words of a 'project' or other nonsense straight to bed.

Huge indictment.

Absolutely. Every club in the land has the same project, ultimately, and that's to win enough games of football.

ksrclaret

I know you’re very much an over emotional type as seen with wishing Tresor was dead after a last minute leveller and with a rival winning tonight it’s quite hard for you to cope, but it’s quite literally the opposite of a ‘fact’ that the team isn’t improved, it’s what’s called an opinion. I think t...

what are you basing 'we haven't improved the team' on ? We are playing at a different level.

It is a different level, but if we had improved the team, would Luton currently be this far ahead of us having finished 21 points below us last season?

We've gone backwards.

Anyone starting to think our result vs Luton wasn’t that bad?

We've just holed beneath the waterline, everyone.

Luton 4-0 Brighton

Tresor isn’t a disaster, like foster did, he needs time to settle.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree there.

I was fully supportive of Foster in the Championship last season because I could see he wanted it and was trying.

ksrclaret

I'd be saving the money this window and certainly not committing to another loan with a requirement to buy situation after the Tresor disaster.

ksrclaret

You reckon Kompany signed a contract extension because players were being bought for profit and not to improve the team ? Nobody knows why he signed a new deal, but it's a fact that we signed players who haven't improved the team. To be fair though, since they were his signings, he probably did thi...

I reckon Luton are the only one of the three promoted clubs with a chance of staying up.

That's been the case for some time now.

ksrclaret

I know some people get their knickers wet if you praise Luton on here, but they are simply a much better football team than Burnley are.

Staggering how they've overtaken us after our respective Championship seasons.

First one he arguably should have done better. Second one was calamitous - no back tracking at all. Stop embarrassing yourself.

I don't blame you mate. I'd be trying to save face too after that humiliating back track

ksrclaret

So we’ve gone from the keeper being “calamitous” to “arguably the keeper should have done better” in two posts.

How humiliating to have to back track like that

Seen this and few places now and I appreciate I'm almost certainly missing something, but what exactly did Southampton so that was so heinous apart from set a price for their player that we didn't want to pay?

They didn't get their heartstrings pulled by the Pace Family's Free Tella video.

ksrclaret

That's the thing about public social media forums - everyone is entitled to post as they wish (within reason) and nobody owns the space.

This board isn't any one posters personal property and so sometimes you have to be prepared to read things that don't particularly interest you.

So you would start Benson over Odobert? I wouldn’t.

Not sure you can have two lazy wingers at this level especially when we’re lacking in other areas.

No Odobert has done well.

I'd certainly be having him brought on over the likes of Tresor and Bruun Larsen though.

ksrclaret

There have been multiple people commenting that benson hasn’t been putting it in at training and yes that could of started by the fact kompany didn’t give him a chance but if you aren’t willing to put the effort in training then you won’t get a game simple as that The Benson shirking training nonse...

I don’t think we can afford to start him with his non existent off the ball work.

Aside from JBG, every winger on our books could be described as having non existent off the ball work and that's why we're down.

At least Benson has decent on the ball work unlike many of the others.

ksrclaret

I do love that RV has gone full on Lowbankclaret tonight, though.

Great Thursday night entertainment.

Stop embarrassing yourself.

Perhaps you could clear up how you’ve come to claim that Manuel Benson regularly cops out of training?

ksrclaret

It's difficult to reconcile the Benson who cops out of training and obviously isn't good enough with the Benson who signed the bumper contract extension in the summer. That’s cause it’s made up ********, innit. Unless of course we’re to believe RVclaret joins Lowbankclaret on his regular visits to ...

Maybe there'll be one tomorrow.

Another team that tries to play out from the back like Barcelona with players who could be playing for Burton Albion It might be the trendy thing but it's dogshit if you don't have the players !

Unless you genuinely expected to be 2-3 years in the championship when you were trying to rebuild a squad from the ground up then some do. We, as a club, have simply progressed probably quicker than expected out of the championship which has brought forward a different level of player that is neede...

One of a collection of players whose signing to the club has not made much sense.

ksrclaret

I'm not disagreeing with you. My point is the majority of the young players have something about them, they certainly aren't ****. I feel they miss the physicality alongside them to allow them to flourish. You think Premier League experience is the missing ingredient. I say decent Premier League qu...

ksrclaret

Why would I disagree with them? I can't possibly know whether they'd be a success and neither can you. I can give my opinion, I do know that we were heavily linked with Lokonga and Townsend was with us, the recruitment team chose neither. Many on here would have wet themselves if we'd signed Barkle...

Who? Okay, if you really want me to provide a list, I will do.

All I'm asking is which players?

It's obviously simple

Players with PL experience.

ksrclaret

So which players are we signing? Berge, Redmond and O'Shea fit the bill. Berge was deemed useless early in the season, Redmond hasn't played and O'Shea was hammered every week until December. My point is if we signed another three of this quality are you telling me we'd be half way up the table? Yo...

ksrclaret

But we signed him and he has barely played, so what is your point? O'Shea has Premier League experience with West Brom. I think Rileybobs point is an absolutely obvious one. We should have signed more players like Berge and Redmond (both PL quality players, despite Redmond having been ignored by th...

Last season's business was a huge success based on the outcome of the season and the fact we sold players for loads as well.

This season's business has been a huge failure and we will need sales this summer.

I could argue that this Leeds team are making a worse fist of the championship than our team? You could, and you’d be correct.

And yet one of these poor sides made a better fist of their previous PL season than we're currently doing.

Guarantees = none.

Bristol City were excellent and fully deserve their win tonight.

Best of luck to him down there.

I'll be hoping we retain his services for the Championship next season. He's one that actually plays with intensity and determination.

This site doesn't allow sub ratings on the players ratings thread, if less than 20 minutes. Yet you call a 10 minute appearance as a display. Did you really expect much from any sub coming on for a few minutes at the end on a freezing night? I expected much, much better than what I’ve described. I ...

ksrclaret

How can you describe something as a gutless display after a 10 minute sub appearance? It’s simply because in that cameo he ducked out of at least one challenge, didn’t show any effort in closing down, didn’t make any runs into the spaces when we had the ball, and appeared very nonchalant on the bal...

Agree - no connect at all now. The 'character' philosophy which served us so well has gone now and those players still here are hardly involved in games.

You are absolutely spot on CT.

It does mostly seem pointless to bring the lad in on loan but if it means VK will sub Foster off when he's clearly knackered it's worth it just for the sake of Foster. It might also help if the other players on the pitch would do some running to close down as well, instead of Foster having to sprin...
