Ask Dyche. We played our best football this season with Jay and Wout up front. Cornet is a winger and not a striker, certainly not a striker that can suit our system. Everyone can see that we play better with Cork in the middle and Jay up top with Wout. That is everyone except Dyche.

thelaughingclaret

This has been a joke. The players must have no confidence in Dyche after we played so well with Cork in the side and Jay up with Wout, to then drop them was crazy. Dyche is tactically inept. We are the easiest team in the country to play against, Brentford would have known all week long how we would...

We played our best football this season with Cork in midfield and with Jay upfront. I think everyone except Dyche can see we are netter with Cork in instead of Westwood. And I do not understand this fascination Dyche has with playing Cornet upfront. It doesn‘t work. He is a winger. I hope I am wrong...

thelaughingclaret

We look far, far better with Cork in midfield instead of Westwood, but this is Dyche we are talking about. This is the same man who thinks Cornet is a striker and not a winger.

4-0 up or 4-0 down, it's never the right moment.

Why is he on the bench then if there is zero chance of him ever coming on?

thelaughingclaret

I liked the lack of PA system on Tuesday, made it feel more like a proper football match. I come to watch football not to listen to crap music and Ian in the stands.
It was great being able to have a conversation with those around us as well without being drowned out.

thelaughingclaret

Vout and Jay have played well together and I don't get the obsession with changing that. I really don’t understand why Dyche dropped jay to play a winger up with Vout yesterday, it didn’t work. It was madness to change the system that had done so well over the last few weeks. Vout and Jay together b...

thelaughingclaret

We missed Jack and Jay badly tonight. No idea why they were dropped. Have done so well in the last few weeks, bonkers to drop them two and unsettle the side. Cornet is not a striker and I really don’t get this fascination Dyche has with playing him upfront. We need Jack back and Jay up with Wout aga...

Why was St Petersburg allowed to play in the Euros against Real Betis? Surely they should have been packed off home? Why do you think? I’ll give you a clue, it begins with Mon and ends with ey. Same reason they aren’t any real sanctions against Putin, everyone is more bothered about how this will a...

They shouldn't be thrown out of the league, but any club with Russian directors should have their assest frozen and not be allowed to put even a penny into the club.

Needs a rest from that!

He must think the Spuds fans/owners are really stupid coming out with sh!te like that.

I don’t get why some people always seem to defend the ticket office. It is a shambles. The administrative side of things is worse than a lot of non-league clubs.

thelaughingclaret

Obviously Micheal hasn’t made an appearance yet, but how many Father and sons have played first team games for us if any?

thelaughingclaret

At times our midfield always seem to afraid to shoot, I hope that has now changed. If you don’t shoot you seldom score. A shot can take a deflection or anything, always worth a go

thelaughingclaret

1 win isn’t going to keep us up. At the moment yes, we are still going down. We are second bottom and have won 2 games all season, them are the facts. But we still have a chance, and we have to take it as it is probably our final chance.

thelaughingclaret

Come on!!! Lets keep this going! Don’t sit back as we have done previously when winning, keep up this momentum in the second half!

thelaughingclaret

Now lets not sit on this! Keep going and keep doing what we are doing! Lets get another!

thelaughingclaret

Bournemouth’s game tonight is still on at the moment. If that goes ahead but ours gets called off when things aren't meant to be as bad tomorrow then that would be very annoying.

Train to Birmingham new street, walk to moor street then train into Marylebone?

Possibly the worst possible answer

If you seriously think Tebay is the worst services then you obviously haven’t been to many services.

We need 10 points if we want any hope of survival.
Realistically that isn’t going to happen.

God please no, not another Mcneil, closer to the top of the tackling charts than assists/goals.
[/quote]

It is the Dyche way. Any player we have with any attacking quality soon has that trained out of them.
And then we wonder why we don’t score goals.

thelaughingclaret

With Cornet the most important thing is that we make a profit so we can service the massive debt pace has lumped the club with. Hopefully we can stave of becoming the next Bury by a couple of years.

thelaughingclaret

Taking Lennon off and keeping McNeil on until the end shows how tactically inept Dyche is.

thelaughingclaret

A main thing about management is motivating the team. You have players like McNeil who look like they want to be anywhere but on a football pitch. If Dyche can’t get the team motivated then he is busted as a manger. We won’t get promoted next season playing like that. We need more enthusiasm. You ca...

Looks as though they are potentially trying to move the kids out of the upper and get them in the lower The Jimmy Mac lower is always empty and looks it on TV, so this isn’t a bad move. Happy they have frozen the prices, if they had raised them even by a few quid given the season we are having and ...

What about the VAR official from that game who was equally if not more guilty then Friend?

thelaughingclaret

Probably Barkley when he realised Ali signing for Everton meant he wasn’t going there. Players and agents leave it until the end of the month to get the best deal but can end up looking just as stupid as the clubs do if it doesn’t come off.

with Ramsey he would have to agree to a relegation release clause/wage drop. That's something I'm sure rangers don't bother with.

Why would you have to have a relegation clause for a loan player?

thelaughingclaret

Well thats that, the window has SLAMMED shut!

thelaughingclaret

Really annoying if we went for Barkley but couldn't convince him, exactly what we needed. I don’t get why you would pick rotting in Chelsea's reserves for another six months over premier league football, putting himself in the summer shop window in the process? I guess it is too much hard work for h...

thelaughingclaret

1/10.
All that has happened is we have £13 million which will disappear into the hole of debt the club has. 1 like for like signing, no new winger or CM, extremely poor window which has almost certainly sealed our fate. New owners maybe, but same old same old.

thelaughingclaret

How long does a medical take? If it takes say 4 hours then if we don’t hear anything about any incomings in the next hour then we know our day is done.

thelaughingclaret

All those lining up to give Pace a mouthful at 1 minute past the window closing would do well to remember that being bottom of the table going into the second half of the season is a very hard sell. Sure, I’ll be incredibly disappointed if we don’t strengthen, but it won’t be for the want of trying...

thelaughingclaret

Really poor if we are throwing in the towel now.
For us to not get a CM in this month is shocking really. Seems like we are admitting defeat and relegation now. The “we tried” line simply is not good enough anymore.

thelaughingclaret

8 hours left to get a CM. I hope Pace can pull something out of the hat. Desperate times.

thelaughingclaret

Barkley is being heavily linked with going back to Everton today so can’t see that happening at all. I have no idea where people are hearing of him being linked to us from as all I can see is Everton and Leeds.

Agree but don't hold out that much hope

The major weak position for which we seem to have no interest (and yes I don't include Ramsey)

I agree. I don’t have much hope. Only one day left and it feels as though we have put all our eggs in the Ramsey basket

thelaughingclaret

I just hope that we also have a CM lined up. For me CM has always been priority

thelaughingclaret

I have got a bad feeling that Weghorst will fall through too. Taking a long time to get it done. Players use Burnley as an excuse to get more money out of their current club. Been happening for years and we still haven’t learnt any lessons from it! We need to stop going after players all month who h...

Seems that Orsic has used us to get a better deal at Zagreb. Not the first time this has happened. He must be laughing right now.

I’ve watched us at eastville, twerton park and the memorial ground but somehow I’ve got it in my head we’ve played them somewhere else as well but just can’t think

They did play at Ashton gate for a bit but I don’t know if we ever played them there?

thelaughingclaret

Good point, but there becomes a time when a point isn’t enough. 12 points from 18 games is grim reading.

thelaughingclaret

I feel we need a win tomorrow to have any hope of convincing anyone to sign for us next week. A loss tomorrow and a performance like against Leeds could be bigger then just 3 points gone. We need to be on it, and I don’t think we will. The players don’t have it in them anymore and nor does Dyche. I ...

Arsenal will be seriously lacking in midfield on Sunday.

It will probably be off then. All Arsenal need to do is get one player to catch covid and it will be off.

The media define how big a club is based in how much money the club owners have. Since our owners have around -£100 million then we are by far the smallest club in the prem.

By the time this comes into affect we should have cornet back and hopefully a couple of signings.
Still allows us to play the system and get the Arsenal game this weekend off if we, or if they, so wish.
