Blackrod

I think we need 4 strikers with the new one being our major summer investment.

Blackrod

As long as the owner doesn't pop off, they don't get relegated and Defoe doesn't get injured early on it should be fine. I really hope we don't adopt that model though. This has got Blackburn or Bolton written all over it.

Blackrod

Quite right that his first touch is far better than Vokes or Gray. Vokes seems to have used his frame more aggressively in the last few games ( and his game has improved) and has looked less of a lumbering giant.

Blackrod

From memory Trippier was certainly no better than Lowton at defending but from attacking aspect far superior. As said above different types of players. Spurs are spoilt for choice with attacking full backs.

Blackrod

'I am disappointed in the BBC for not changing the ethnicity of the attackers .... ' I've seen seen cr*p on here but this is beyond ridiculous.

Blackrod

Barnes offers us something that other PL teams don't have. He's always going to be a good option off the bench. I for one would not like to see him go.

Blackrod

The applause thing has been done to death and spoilt as a result. There should be a minutes silence for former players. I can't be there on Sunday but would have liked to have observed one for Peter Noble.

Blackrod

They should certainly educate people on how to avoid dangerous situations so that people are more street savvy. They should also show films like Shindlers List to help prevent these horrors in the future.

Blackrod

I wouldn't want her operating on me. What if she turned. Needs punishing.

Blackrod

I was repulsed by this event when on the news and will not be watching this. There is a cultural problem as one poster has pointed out. People who don't respect themselves often have no respect for others.

Blackrod

As an aside does Ian Woan ever do press conferences ? Don't think I've ever seen one.

Blackrod

Hopefully he practices what he preaches unlike Prescott and many Union leaders. He clearly doesn't think he pays enough tax so he should be donating the bulk of it to HMRC or public services.

Blackrod

No more taxpayers money to be spent on keeping the evil monster locked up now. I hope they feed the remains to rats although probably a bit unfair on them and dissolve the monster's bones. There had better not be any taxpayer funded funeral.

Blackrod

Should be put on the electric chair on lower voltage to cook slowly. The evil b*stard will be burning in hell soon enough though. Not one respectable human being on the planet will miss the evil monster.

Blackrod

I'm not surprised to see Clement on there. Swansea were a shambles when he took over.

Blackrod

Good speech and represents the club well on all fronts. I remember Sounness criticising Dyche for talking about off the field developments and training ground as Dyche's job was to manage and might not be here to see the off the field developments complete. Little did he know and how wrong he was as...

Blackrod

Not a team player.

Blackrod

Another stupid opening thread

Blackrod

Just shows how hard it is to keep a side up. I think we've learned from experience and that if u have to play an ugly defensive game so be it.

Blackrod

Actually the last two paragraphs of the OPs posts I agree with. Get players in with something to prove who are not just after a pay cheque. Lower leagues and Europe where possible but always a risk with the latter as we have seen. I'd like to see us improve Eutopean and further afield scouting netwo...

Blackrod

It was obvious who this thread would be from. File under the Edgar and Rene Smith posts.

Blackrod

So do you want Dyche to sort him out or get rid. Make your mind up.

Blackrod

Has an interesting bridge over it.
So not only are you a social and sexual introvert you are also a p*ss poor speller.
I've an idea why don't you hijack and ruin every thread and when you've done that start another inane one.

Blackrod

Dyche is welded to 442 which has served us well to date but I'm not sure we will progress to much further without being able to play other systems and accommodating flair players. As an aside Stanislas was always skilful but inconsistent. Looks good player in this Bournemouth side but wouldn't get i...

Blackrod

If he can't get a game today then it's a waste of a very good player. I think he probably will b*gger off now which is a real shame.

Blackrod

The ' bulk ' of his playing career

Blackrod

The official reason will probably because he hasn't played much football. If there's is a less creative player who does more tracking back and off the ball work ( which I think he picked up fairly quickly) then that player will start first.

Blackrod

I like JBG too and a shame he was injured in the last game we threw one in.

Blackrod

Precisely why I don't attend dead rubbers or pre season games. Generally dire.

Blackrod

Players already know they are on for 600k each. Where's the incentive

Blackrod

I'd like Hudds or Wednesday to win but I think Fulham will.

Blackrod

Players living in the same world as fans.
Less diving and cheating.
The terrace banter and humour of yesteryear.
The vidiprinter.
Not the Beehole toilets.

Blackrod

Seems shifty to me. Used Burnley to bump up his contract. Dour with an inflated ego. The bulk of his playing career was played in the Micky mouse league where very average players can look like world beaters.

Blackrod

If I'm a hunter and have built my own shelter your pyramid is of no use to me.

Blackrod

Zabaletta has to be a joke he's on about 100k a week. Great player but no thanks.

Blackrod

I actually think the board were paranoid about being done over financially after the Judas and staff exit. They felt wounded by it and took what they thought was the low risk cautious option.

Blackrod

I too recall there being a manager who wanted a £1 million pound bonus. May well have been Coppell and at the time that would have been the better option IMO.

Blackrod

Appalling decision to give him the job. You can hardly blame him for taking it and he no doubt did his best. Doesn't deserve any abuse at all but the people who made that appointment got it badly wrong. Having said that anyone would have struggled after the Judas exit.

Blackrod

No surprises with Heaton, Mee, Arfield and Jones being up there. The backbone of what we have achieved over the last few years.

Blackrod

I remember a poster ( a grown man) once complaining about the late delivery of BFC socks as he wouldn't be able to wear them with his BFC shorts and top when shopping in Asda. He thought it would be embarrassing without the socks.

Blackrod

To progress we need to be able to accommodate more flair. Having said that Dyche has done an excellent job to date and a shame we havnt seen more of Defour as he's the classiest player we have.

Blackrod

I'd prefer Swans or Palace to go down. No beef with Hull but not a fan of BFS.

Blackrod

It's probably best just not to make them which is a shame. I had one as a child but as stated above have been used for racial slurs. This particular case looks like another person looking to be offended though. Do we change the words to baa baa black sheep ? Interesting point about Ausie not being o...

Blackrod

Yes Garner hates us but somehow he is less annoying than fatty Dunn.

Blackrod

No it looks just fine with lots of character. Absolute horsesh*t and probably what you are used to down at Deadwood.

Blackrod

If had to go to a soulless shoebox Horwich type statement I wouldn't bother going. Our ground and location is steeped in history. I like walking through terraced streets to get to the ground. It helps make the experience. I do think the Bob Lord could do with an upgrade / increase in capacity.

Blackrod

Sounds a bit like Jones. I thought he was class for the Chsmpionship and could see what he brought to the team but the crowd was often split.

Blackrod

30 m plus a player in our direction would be nice. The market shifted massively last summer so these are the going rates for these players. Exactly why we should look abroad or in lower leagues for talent. Let someone else pay the massive transfer fees and wages.

Blackrod

Any of Heaton, Jones or Arfield. If I had to pick one it would be Scott Arfield.

Blackrod

A bit like us last time around. They have been in games but just struggled to score. They need to keep bulk of their squad.
