We got where we are with baby steps, everything built on rock, not sand. I hope we continue in that vein, trying to do too much at once would leave little for the future, and if it failed would lead to the obvious consequences. Fortunately it sounds as though they will back Sean, but keep that slowl...

The badge as well though??

Unless it’s a photoshop job.

The Badge could be automatically linked with the Name, in order not to post twice. I don't know, I just think it's a far more realistic theory.

Racial abuse of this nature is a crime, punishable in the courts. I don't see how Social Media groups can refuse to cooperate in bringing those involved to justice. It isn't stepping on anyones civil rights, it's complying with the law. Name and shame them, then chuck the book at them. I just hope O...

I’m very concerned about this. I’m not on my own In thinking the club should be run and supported by locals. We only have to look at other clubs to see how foreign investment has ruined the club. As someone from east Lancashire it’s disappointing to see us losing our identity. Utc I can understand ...

Liverpool starting to get the Citeh habit of going into certain types of matches in second gear. Then realising too late they need to up it. A well deserved point for the Geordies, but don't forget the scousers couldn't beat West Brom last week, as someone else said, no win in 5 for Newcastle, we ne...

I too am glad to see MG and JB staying on the board. It will help keep the ship on an even keel, and their knowledge of Burnley and the Prem, will invaluable.

Good luck Mr. Pace, and remember , the Clarets come second only to family.

Rather like dog years are different to humans, 2-3 weeks injury for a.n.other club means 6-9 at Burnley FC. I know we don't like to rush players back, and in Charlies case it's worth the extra wait. Pieters can do a good enough Job until he gets back, but he is such an important part of that defensi...

You've misunderstood my term "the skills". As I've said in reply to dande, I meant the skills commercially to capitalise on our current participation in a globally watched league were we're still heavily reliant on local businesses for sponsorship. I know we're not the only Premier League club like...

1 win in 14 for Brighton now, they are bang in the mix, they do draw a lot, but it's wins that lift you up the table, and until they start turning 1 point into 3 they'll struggle to climb the league. It's a long time ago, but they won 3 0, away to Leicester, first game of the season. Its hard to se...

Watching the highlights from Stoke, where the fog is awful, and it brought to mind a match on the Turf in the late 70s. Midweek night match where the far side of the pitch, and one of the goals was invisible. We were relying on the shouts from CFS to give us a clue what was happening. I think the re...

He picked up an injury not long after coming on at Leeds.
He was limping for a while, but obviously completed the game.

Not sure if it's connected to this though.

With only a 2 day turnaround it surely wasn't worth the risk, even if it was only minor.

I think it was filled before tonight
After Fat Sams drubbing tonight, WBA are all but doomed as well
We really need to do a job on Fulham on Sunday, it won't kill them but it won't do them any good.
Brighton and Palace would be a nice buffer if we can get that win, both are on a poor run.

Colburn_Claret

Benson needs the game time he's getting here.
He's normally in centre mid, so he is playing out of position anyway.
He hasn't disgraced himself in either of the last 2 games, and some senior players made far more mistakes than him tonight.
He's only going to get better.

Colburn_Claret

Made hard work of that but a big 3pts.
I dont think the players were ever concerned, unlike us fans watching.
Far too many silly mistakes conceding possession, I wish we'd learn from them.

Need to get the ball on the deck, this is poor fair and playing into Sheff Utd hands. This is where we miss a leader in the middle of the park, Joey would have sorted ir.

I get the feeling if Jeff Bezos took over and handed the manager 200 million every transfer window and we went on to win the league certain people would still be unhappy I'd be one of them. There's a line between Burnley today, and becoming a smaller version of Citeh. I have a Citeh mate who still ...

Some people say exciting times ahead ,personally I think more on the lines of worrying times ahead.

It doesn’t matter what he could do or what he couldn’t do the fact remains he is doing what he’s paid to do & making a success of that, the way he’s going he won’t be far off golden boot at the end of the season. Presuming that he plays the rest of the season as it started. I don't think he will, b...

Not so sure about ex-players being involved. Look at pundits, they are usually very biased in 50-50 decisions regarding their own position, ex-strikers are generally in favour for the striker and defenders in favour for the defender. For example, Bobby Zamora yesterday said the Leeds one was a pen!...

I hate judgement off stats, just use your own judgement

The stats confirm my own judgement, one shared by many Leeds fans. Besides, surely scoring 10 goals is a stat.

Without a shadow, the people that say we don’t suit his style are quite correct we don’t we play a different way but it wouldn’t take much tinkering for him & us to adapt, any player can adapt & adjust just takes time, bamford could be a foil behind a targetman for the flicks & knockdowns, he’s mor...

We will play lots of better teams than Leeds, considering the pre match hype I don't think they looked that good. If Ben hadn't been wearing ice skates first half it could have been a different story. The way we responded second half. Dale Stephens cameo was a lot better than in his previous minutes...

I've complained for a long time, that everyman and his dog gets interviewed post match, apart from the referee. They are supposedly paid professionals, they should have a duty to explain their decisions. They might make a wrong call occasionally, even refs are human, but just hold your hand up and a...

9 minutes until Gallagher agrees that Pope gave away a penalty, and the ref was unfortunate to miss the clear foul on Mee because he was looking straight at it, so couldn't see the knee in the back :roll: I told you so, the bloke is a complete muppet. It's embarrassing how this arsehole defends ref...

Very strange, in that he scores goals, but the stats show he misses a hell of a lot more, which supports the theory that Leeds create an awful lot of chances for him. Looking at it coldly I prefer our 4 strikers, even though they're blowing cold at the moment. Most strikers have a quiet spell, what'...

I think you ough ask CT to create a "safe space" where snowflakes like you can't be triggered by peoples opinions on a messageboard during a game I dont need a safe place, nor am I a snowflake. If its alright for others to slag our players off, how come its wrong for others to call them out for it....

:lol: Mee has jumped for the ball, missed it and through his jump has blocked the keeper from reaching the ball. Even thought is not deliberate he's impeded their keeper which is a foul. Now the fact the keeper has desperately come out a long way jumping through a crowd of players also gives for a b...

Come next season we could be relying on Benson even more. Where does he get the game time if not in matches and circumstances like today. If he'd set up the winner everyone would be calling SD a genius. Looking back on decisions like this is pointless, and serves no purpose. I don't think Benson did...

Colburn_Claret

Weve improved loads since those first 6 matches, disappointed and surprised we haven't started taking more chances, that second half performance without McNeil or Brady shows we can play a lot better when we mix it. Rather like Charlie Austin, we played netter football when we didn't rely on him. I'...

Wasn't just the inactivity that cost us in those games IMO. It was the clear and obvious disunity between the chairman and manager that had filtered down to the players. The whole thing just looked completely disjointed and stale. We'll never know how many points that stopped us from otherwise achi...

They've just said on sky sports that because the ref blew the whistle so early, it couldn't go to VAR, this is rubbish, it was a penalty on Mee. VAR is there to protect incompetent referees.

Proper fans back their players, they don't slag them off. Proper fans understand you don't have a right to win every challenge or game.

Ben needs to change his studs at halftime and he'll be fine.
Sliding all over the place first half, and that pitch definitely isn't one of the best.

In terms of possession, style, opportunities that first half has gone just as expected, only VAR has screwed us over big style.

I would have kept my season ticket anyway, I could afford to and the club would need the money. Most of all though it was so I could be in the draw when limited tickets were available.

I know I'm in the minority, but I liked the way MG ran the club. Not for profit, and living within our sustainable means, was painful but necessary.
