Trafford will be with us for the next two or three years at least (like Ramsay), probably best to see what he’s worth then I’d guess rather than speculate now for something that’s not going to happen. Cullen would have to be in a three for me and Trafford will be picked in goal as he has for every l...

I genuinely don’t think anyone has a “personal” issue with James. The issue is certain players getting a free pass and starting every game regardless of either their own performances or the need to try something different. Trafford falls into that category. Same reason roberts wanted to go coz we p...

A star in the making. Energy, skill, pace, great attitude and stamina.

A step ahead of koleosho for me who is also top drawer.

Kompany said it.

Holtyclaret

I honestly think it doesn't matter what we all think of him whether we back him to come good or he ends up failing. The club can't really afford to sack him so it's grin & bear it & you just have to hope on that basis. I don't really blame Kompany it's paces fault for putting people on long contrac...

I disagree finances are always a consideration even more so when it gets to the stage that relegation happens & some people stop going on. He isn't learning he hasn't learnt a single thing since getting promoted & there's not 1 single sign that'll change, I'm not knocking his management skills as a...

Holtyclaret

He might have offers but I'd question whether he would have better offers than the 1 he's already got that's the point. If pace decided to let him go he'd have to settle up & it wouldn't be cheap & that's probably the main reason why he's being so patient & persevering with him & then you've also g...

Dyches first attempt we signed Marvin Sordell and Duke . Hardly a 100 million Budget

If you listen to vk / Pace neither was this year.

Footy (and BFC) has changed quite considerably from ten years ago but surely the same opportunity and patience should be afforded vk that was given to Dyche.

Holtyclaret

He would just sit it out until another club offered him better terms so it could take time he wouldn't be in demand from any of the so called bigger clubs & I don't see a Rotherham or a Ipswich trumping his existing terms. He’s not the type to sit around and he’d have plenty of offers I’m sure. As ...

Holtyclaret

If we sacked him nobody at the top level would touch him. He looks completely shell-shocked and broken right now. If he starts Amdouni again this season he should be sacked on the spot I’ll politely disagree on both your points, in fact twice on your first. All hypothetical as he’ll be with us a go...

You’re pleased we are being relegated with a whimper. Hmm

Not at all pleased with how the seasons gone. It’s been a steep learning curve (too steep) for the squad and manager. Both will be far more ready for a 2nd attempt.

Like Dyche was after his first failed attempt and he didn’t do too bad.

Holtyclaret

Difficult to judge them three so far given such limited game time. (Loans I can see but can’t see how that benefits the club). They’ll be 3 or 4 that may go off for a 12 month hiatus next season. Benefits are obvious. We retain the players services for future, they develop and play games probably c...

Holtyclaret

I’ve got to agree tbh my patience has completely gone with him, he needs to go but Pace can’t afford to pot his pin up. A stupid long contact and we’re back in the Dyche situation again! We only pay out his long contract until he would work again, which wouldn’t be long, so yes we can afford to sac...

Certainly a buzzword, but I haven't seen anyone explain why they feel that way, what has changed to make them feel that way, or when this change took place.

Fear of change would account for a lot.

My guess would be

BPF, Roberts, Weghorst, Twine, Egan-Riley, Churlinov, Bastien - aren't likely be back at Burnley

Mcnally, Costellor and Obafemi - won't be back if can be sold for a profit

Zaroury, Mellon and Dodgson - likely to return

Spot on prediction

Holtyclaret

It’d be more weird if a player wasn’t fed up with a lack of minutes.

Has Benson ever completed a full match for us?

He’ll get his chances before the end of the season, hopefully he takes them.

To be injured for so long he has to have 1 of 2 thing's, either a serious ligament injury /tear, or a leg break. What else could keep him out for so long ? No doubt some will say "a recurrence" well I'm not buying that. If report's are true he's staying, then there's absolutely no logical reason he...

Can’t believe Benson can’t even get on the bench He’s got to have fallen out with VK there’s know logical reason he’s not there Throwing him into tonight’s game would be a touch unfair after a long absence (not that he would start/complete the game or finish it). He’ll have his chances now, up to h...

Holtyclaret

What, exactly, does he offer? How does he offer more than Roberts? Is it how weak he is defensively? How he cowers away from diagonal balls and ducks out of the way? Is it how he fails to keep the ball well and often looks like he can’t play simple passes? Is it for all the chances he creates in th...

Holtyclaret

I agree. I’d also like to see a proper right full back playing on the other side - call me old fashioned but preferably one who is up to it at this level. If vk wanted a ‘proper rb’ Roberts would be starting each game from what we have, an improving Vitinhio offers more of the other aspects vk want...

Delcroix?

Very much a left sided cb than lb it appears.

Holtyclaret

Delcroix, Al Dakhil, Roberts and Vitinho have all played left back. Wouldn’t shock me if he tried Esteve there either. Not all great options (just like right back) but they are options. If Taylor is fit, he is hands down our best full back. Call me old fashioned but I’d think we need a left back at...

And ALL well below the level Charlie Taylor is at left back.

The Charlie Taylor that is out for next month or more leaving us with no left back whatsoever?

Holtyclaret

Its unbelievable. It's such a glaring weakness in the side, you can't have such a substandard player in this league and get away with it. If we had a good right back i think we could fairly argue that we had a genuine premier league standard first 11. Its incredibly frustrating. I’d say left back i...

Holtyclaret

When he was being sold it was all Benson kopps out of training and isn't good enough stuff. Now he's staying it's the "right thing" to do. In terms of reactions, the nonsense we've had from some on here trying to justify the clubs position on potentially selling Benson has been by far the biggest i...

Amdouni is a good option why anyone wants him gone is beyond me. Ohare would be a good signing perhaps sweeten the deal with Ramsay.

Ramsey won’t be going anywhere for a year or three.

Holtyclaret

But surely he could have been loaned out to them again this season ? A bit like McAtee going back to Sheff U again on loan this season. Did they not buy Bobby Thomas off us instead? McNally is so far down our pecking order now I’m sure he’ll never feature for us so probably waiting for a successful...

The fact we’ve loaned fofana would probably rule your dream signing out I'd guess.

Why do we need a left back? In Charlie Taylor we have a good quality Prem quality solid defender. Whilst his attacking abilities might not be that good our major problem has been defending and he is far better than most in our defence at doing exactly that. The problem that the club and VK in parti...

some of you need to see it again. 100% a foul, he takes a look to see where Trafford is and then blocks him. It's as clear a foul as you will ever see.

And then looks straight to ref to see if he’s got away with it. Truly awful again by the ref and var.

Ekdal has struggled with fitness since we got him. With Beyer also out we need someone else.
Good to see us looking at tall players too.

Arrived with and then played with an injury his first spell of games. Could be some player when (and if) 100% fit.

Can’t understand us signing another cb unless Ekdal or al-dakhil are leaving

6 foot 5 beast of a player and maybe Ekdals (and beyers?) injury worries mean he can’t be counted on this season. I’d love aad to get games on loan at a good level, think it’ll do him good.

Holtyclaret

He weirdly liked a comment I made on his Facebook in 2017 today.

A bit odd to trawl through old fb comments? Too much time on his hands?

Holtyclaret

I’m sure he’ll get his chance in the fullness of time but a spell in league one will be good for him and interesting to see.

Certainly not a first team squad place for him this season.
