As long as we give a good account of ourselves and get no major injuries
I'll be fine with whatever the result is.
And we come away from the game proud to be Clarets.
Having said that a 3-1 win would be great!

jurek

Still get worried and nervous when we go 1-0 down
but have to say this team does seem to hane the abiltiy to come back and win games.

Long amy it continue!

jurek

Just seen highights/goals on Sky Sports.
Got to say three excellent strikes for the goals.

Doesn't seem as if the break has had any adverse affects
and we've still got Zaroury to come back alongside
Twine, Churlinov, Westwood to make their mark.

It's looking good approaching the half way stage.

jurek

Don't think you can put the blame on Muric albeit Sheff. Utd exploited his weak spot but you could also, at the same time argue that our defence didn't provide enough cover or get sufficient challenges in. We were clearly overrun especially in the second half and the stats don't lie. Utd had 28 shot...

jurek

9 points from those 3 games would put us up to 47 points and
probably about 10 points clear. And still not quite half way through the season!

Can't see that happening so I think 5 points would be fantastic but suspect
we'll lose one of those, draw one and hopefully win one so 4 points for me.

jurek

When you're smiling,
When you're smiling
The whole Turf smiles with you.

What a fantastic result.
Must admit thought that was it after 90 mins and feeling pretty despondent.

But....

When you're smiling,
When you're smiling,
the world world smiles with you.

Come on you Clarets!

jurek

"You draw some, you lose some."
Jock Wallace I think it was when manager of Leicester after not winning
for a goodly number of games. later 70"s?

jurek

Does anyone know whether you can pay on the night at Birmingham?

jurek

I think it would be great if we could sing 'When you're Smiling' and bring it back as our anthem this season especially as VK and the team have managed to bring back the smiles to most fans this season. May need to find an appropriate 'claret and blue' ending so someone needs to find the right words...

jurek

We have 2 0r 3 players who've hardly had a game so far so I think VK will try where he can to give them a chance and see what they can do. So unless we have a few injuries to key players I can't see us bringing in any others in the January window. think had we managed to get in Obafemi then we could...

jurek

I tipped Cardiff to be one of the surprise teams in the Championship with West Brom, Sheff. United and Norwich up there as favourites for top 4. In fact Cardiff started off quite well beating Norwich 1-0 in the first game of the season and getting a point at West Brom in their 4th game. They were ab...

jurek

As many as possible but the main thing is still to be in the mix come the World Cup. So if we're still a few points off the top two the that'll be fine with me. But if you were to push me I'd say 24-26 would hopefully still keep us in the top 4. and not far off the top two. W7 D3 L2 would give us 24.

jurek

The most impressive thing for me is how VK and the team have managed to put the smiles back on fans' faces. Predominantly because of the way we're playing which seems like a breath of fresh air to many. Of course there are still 'issues' to resolve which some posters have pointed out but all in all ...

jurek

Have tried a few web sites/newspapers but to no avail.
Any reliable sources for how many were there?
Looked pretty good from match highlights so would guess at around 18-19000?

jurek

Spot on with your report of the match, Tony.

jurek

Given the number of players sold or released (especially when compared with Norwich and Watford) alongside all the new arrivals then for us to be in the top 6 having lost just once in 8 has to be close to as good as we could have hoped for. The usual suspects are up there (Sheff. Utd and Norwich) al...

jurek

Just another thought is would we have got a penalty last night if VAR
was in use?
Almost certainly I suspect.

jurek

Have to agree that it wasn't a foul and shouldn't have been given. The ref bottled it but then these things are likely to happen with VAR as essentially there's two refs - one on the pitch and another watching which does create the inevitable decisions which can go the wrong way. as was the case her...

jurek

As good, if not better than most of us could have hoped for or anticipated. We've sold and let go most if not all of our Premiership team (for around 90m?) paid off a substantial amount of the debt; lowered the wage bill significantly; got ourselves a potentially great manager and brought in 14 new ...

jurek

Thanks for that BigF.
Think that's pretty decent.

jurek

Difficult to tell from the highlights but
looked pretty full apart from away end.
Be good to know the fans are turning up.

jurek

What a difference a good win makes.
At half-time was worried Wigan might get back into it.
But a great result that's made all Claret fans happy. Me included.

Shall stay up and watch the goals tonight.

.

jurek

Agree with most of Boss Hoggs' assessment of the game. First time I've seen the new Burnley this season and even though we had a number of our potentially better players out we did try and play football but with little meaningful penetration. Did also think we looked a little light weight and small ...

jurek

Just spoken to Shrewsbury Ticket Office and you can pay on the day.
And the good news is it's only £6 for concessions.

jurek

Does anyone know whether I could get a ticket or pay on the day
in the away end?
Just realised Shrewsbury is less than an hour away from where I live
so might be able to make the journey as long as I can get in.

jurek

I don't think any team we've played so far this season has outplayed us. If anything it's been the other way round in most games if not all. That's the good news and the fans seem to be warming to the way we're playing. Kompany has a clear way of playing and has brought in some decent players. Wheth...

jurek

If we carry on dominating games in terms of possession,
chances created etc. then surely we're going to win more than we lose or draw?

Aren't we?

jurek

We need to make it difficult for teams coming to the Turf.
But I expect most teams will be wary of us at the Turf and set out to
hold out against us and catch us on the break.

An early goal (or two) would set us up nicely but a win is important
and will keep us in the mix.

jurek

It doesn't sound like Kompany thinks we need another striker given what he has said recently. Maybe he's hoping we'll do a Man City (from last season) when they won the league without an out and out striker albeit they've now gone out and got one. It'll be interesting to see how we get on with our c...

jurek

Can't imagine Cornet staying and it looks as if West Ham are the most likely destination as they can offer European foorball and look as if they will match Evertons' offer of 25m over a period of time. Pace should be happy and it'll hopefully release some more funds for Kompany to bring in another 2...

jurek

I think we'll struggle to begin with and be mid-table at best come the break for the World Cup. And hopefully improve after the World Cup. Possibly enough to get us up the table and pushing for a play off place. That'll keep the momentum going until the end of the season but whether we'll make the t...

jurek

Just wondering whether any relegated club from the Premiership has released or sold or moved on as many as we have (or are likely to) as well as brought in six new young players (and still counting). Can't think of any but maybe there is. It's closing in on a complete rebuild. with probably more new...

jurek

It feels like the end of an era with what looks like a lot if not most of our better players leaving but then again..... it's the beginning of another era with what looks like an influx of new and younger players. Going to be interesting to see how many come in and how they adapt and perform for us ...

jurek

His record in the German league was pretty decent from what I recall. He scored quite a few goals too. Score recently for the Netherlands. So don't think he is as bad as some make out and he started quite well for us but tailed off and things didn't go his way. But he wasn't getting that much servic...

jurek

We need to keep Collins if only for a season if we don't manage to get back up. As tiger76 said his value will only increase even after a season in the Championship. I certainly wouldn't sell for less than 25m. Let's hope there isn't a release clause in his contract. I'd make him captain if that wou...

jurek

Hopefully the start of a new and exciting era?
Welcome Vincent and hope you'll be in good company.

Although I agree with many of the comments/views previous posters have made re/ talking and what you can do to help yourself there's a major problem that still exists within the NHS re. mental health. So if you've been fortunate to have been diagnosed with whatever it maybe (which in itself isn't ea...

Quite a few folk (including myself and lady wife) actually saved a fair amount during Covid. We didn't do much if any socialising or go out anywhere nor on holiday. I was quite surprised at how much less we were spending. We were comfortably off before Covid and although we're slowly beginning to do...

Nice one ClaretTony.
People come and people go.
So it is and shall be.
As night follows day.

Ben Mee leaving (if it is true) shouldn't be that much of a surprise or shock. I think it was always on the cards. Personally I wish him well especially if he can get a deal at a Premier League club on better wages that we would be willing to offer or can afford to offer. He'd be daft not to. Whethe...

jurek

If we can hold onto Collins, Mee, Taylor, Roberts and one or two others then we have the foundations of a decent defence/team. And if Kompany can add three or four younger others - be it in midfield and/or upfront and they have the talent and potential to develop and grow then we should be in with a...

jurek

Disappointed of course. But also resigned to the fact that we weren't going to make it even though there was a brief moment when Brentford equalised and we got one back when I thought we might just do it. But alas it wasn't to be. Still the umbilical cord hasn't been cut and I shall still support th...

jurek

He'll be remembered as one of our best players/central defenders
for a long time.
I wish him the best and thank him for his contribution.

jurek

We might get 20-25m for Pope but doubt very much we'd get much more than 10m for McNeil. His value has decreased significantly this season. I think we might find it difficult off loading more than 2 players for any significant amount. Albeit we could lose a few more who are past their sell by date o...

jurek

No I don't think so. He's done his time with us
and will be remembered as one of our best managers.

It will be interesting to see where her goes next and how
well he does with a new team/club.

jurek

And so it was destined to be but whatever happens it will be a tense afternoon on Sunday so I suppose we can't complain about in not be exciting. Totally nerve wracking admittedly and I don't think I'll be able to watch or follow it so need to find something that will occupy my mind. ... and body. P...

jurek

I wish one more win will suffice but I'm far from certain. I do think Leeds are capable of getting a result against Brighton and/or against Brentford but will hopefully get beat by Chelsea. If they lose to Chelsea that will put pressure on them and we've got nothing to lose against Spurs and Villa a...

jurek

I think many of us fear that Leeds or Everton will get more than 3 points (or more) over the next four games. We're hoping they don't and that we do. Get at least three points from our next three. And hope neither Leeds or Everton do. We'll have a better idea after tomorrow but I think we need at le...

Nervousness is part of being a supporter whichever team you may support especially if they're in relegation fight. Having just about convinced myself that we were going down a few weeks ago and the nerves settling down to the inevitable they're now on the rise big time. The only time they will disap...

jurek

It will swing this way and t'other depending on results next weekend. Prior to Everton besting Chelsea it had swung our way but now it's probably swung Evertons' way especially as they have the game in hand and winnable games to come. Leeds have two tricky games coming up (Arsenal and Chelsea) But a...
