SkiptonClaret

Not sure anyone has said we're carrying him nor that it's time to get rid. Have you watched us in the last month or so? He's been poor and keeps coming off injured. Dyche keeps telling us he's got an ongoing nerve damage problem. That's because no one did say that. Fact remains it's not 2013 anymor...

SkiptonClaret

Why do we continue to play him every week if he's carrying an injury ? Need to drag ourselves away from the 13-14 axis, these players won't be around forever - youth required.

Villa for 30k pw, or thereabouts allegedly. Cairney might be an option and a longer term one at that. (Yes, fully aware who he used to play for).

SkiptonClaret

We need to sign another midfielder now. Hope we've got more ideas than just Dale b1oody Stephens.

SkiptonClaret

Hope we're regularly scouting Barnsley, lot of good young players and not just the lanky centre half.

SkiptonClaret

Plenty on here writing off such as Swansea and Hull and thinking it's going to be a canter. Nah, not having it - and we've got to go to both. Still think it's 3 from 5 and, yes, we are one of the five.

SkiptonClaret

v Farsley Celtic this weekend, should be a decent game (pitch allowing).

SkiptonClaret

Only started 7 league games for them.

SkiptonClaret

Wouldn't be averse to Pritchard but, yes, ideally with a.n.other

SkiptonClaret

Absolutely no chance.

SkiptonClaret

I expect he will be offered a contract and will start in the team whatever division we are in. However, yes, I would sincerely hope we are considering scouting a younger replacement(s), really need to add some youth to the squad this summer - it's the next step.

SkiptonClaret

One of the slowest players I've seen in a Burnley shirt. Hopefully it is a one way ticket.

SkiptonClaret

Getting in the way of Silent Witness. Tut tut.

SkiptonClaret

Whilst I can see the rationale re short term thinking in bringing in the experienced likes of Barton, as it is all about PL survival this season, I would hope that in the summer we would (successfully) target some younger players for the first team. We do need to find the next Ings, Tripper, Keane e...

SkiptonClaret

I don't know how anyone can really comment on Bamford when, for ever reason, he wasn't given a chance and no one on here could possibly know why. I never thought he was a Dyche "type" to be honest, it alway appeared a pretty pointless signing. I personally don't feel that Ashley Barnes is a Premier ...

SkiptonClaret

Play Defour centrally or don't play him.

SkiptonClaret

Marginalised today. It was crying out for the change with Barton in the middle and Barnes out wide, fortunately we made it.

SkiptonClaret

Good move for him, Wilder is a decent manager. You'd think there might be one or two more hanging around at Burnley that might want to get out permanently and actually play some football.

SkiptonClaret

Some people on here getting very carried away with that win over Sunderland win at Christmas. Still have us for relegation if we can't improve our shocking away record.
Point v Southampton would be decent enough.

SkiptonClaret

Don't watch ROI games (or Norwich), is Brady going to add any pace to the side ? Or is he another grafter / runner ?
Appears highly rated by many on here so just wondering what he would potentially bring to the party.

SkiptonClaret

I do understand your use of `inexplicable` regards Kightly and the Premier League - not saying he is of that standard at all but neither is Arfield. I, like a few others, like him (Kightly) as he at least runs at defenders and can stretch the opposition. In the game at St. Mary`s especially, Southa...

SkiptonClaret

Oh dear, mentions of the inexplicable fans favourite "Kights". Time to be worried.

SkiptonClaret

Can't get excited about this one. Don't see him as the pacey creative type of player we need. In fact I'm still waiting for a decent rumour to start, the likes of Gradel, Cleverly etc. aren't cutting it. Maybe I'm just expecting too much. You're expecting too much if our idea of living dangerously ...

SkiptonClaret

Do we need a 30 plus year old full back ?

SkiptonClaret

Computer says not a runner.

SkiptonClaret

1. Yes
2. Always assumed it would be the last two three days of the month.
3. Not sure we will be affecting the group too much in the current market, in which we are not leaders.

SkiptonClaret

I think comparing him with Marvin Sordell is a tad harsh. Winnall is scoring regularly in a top half Championship side. Sordell ?

SkiptonClaret

You would hope he's the sort of player we've at least scouted and come to a conclusion on.

SkiptonClaret

There's been a couple of exceptions (in terms of younger players that SD has faith in) but, generally, ablueclaret has it right - SD will always favour the seasoned pro over younger players, it's part of his pragmatic, rather conservative approach. It's been successful so hey ho. However to say the ...

Deeney and Jay both came up from lower leagues, along with Vardy and Ulloa.

Its about finding the right player, not the amount they cost.

Yeah but the problem is you need an effective scouting network for that.

SkiptonClaret

What we've learnt is that we appear to have learnt very little from last time in the Premier League. Only one inevitable conclusion, unfortunately.

No chance, not unless there's a dramatic revision in approach and tactics.

SkiptonClaret

Yeah, but we've not been great all season. Whoever goes up are a country mile off PL standard as it stands.

SkiptonClaret

We have a super set of players who give everything and a manager and staff to match. if, by some fluke, we don't make it, I would not have any qualms about cheering them all to the rafters. This is the best squad for years. Really ? Certainly not played the best football, it's been fairly dire for ...
