I think we may need more than one more win. 2 wins would more than likely almost certainly do it but possibly one win and one draw might suffice. 4 more points would take us to 38 which means Everton would need 9 more points and turn round the goal difference. Whatever we're in with a fighting chance.

jurek

We need to keep the pressure on both Everton and Leeds so that means a win at Watford and then hopefully Leeds get turned over by City. Everton will know our result and irrespective of what it is will go hell for leather against Chelsea probably even more so if they know we and Leeds have lost I jus...

jurek

It's still al to play for but I think we'll need at least 11 or 12 points
to stand a chance.
So that's 4 wins or not far off.

Still can't discount Watford and both we and Everton have still to go there.

But game by game is the only mantra. Win by win.

jurek

It's in our hands...or feet so to speak. Thought Everton were going to win tonight but they managed to get a goal very late on ...again! They've got Liverpool and Chelsea next so let's hope they don't pick up any points from those two. And more importantly we manage a few in our next two. Six ideall...

jurek

As much as is required to replace those that leave. But probably as little as possible or half of what comes in from sales. We do have a number of players who are worth 10m+ Pope, McNeil, Cornet, WW and possibly Taylor also. Although I wouldn't expect all of those to go. But I would expect quite a f...

jurek

Southampton, Wolves at home followed by Watford away. We need a decent haul of points from those 3. At least 6 so two wins. Ideally 7 and 9 would be seriously good. And hope Everton don't pick up more than say 3. They've got Leicester at home followed by Liverpool away and Chelsea at home. I can see...

jurek

I suppose it's the least we can expect and let's hope it continues in our next two home games where we need to get at least 4 points from. Two massive games that will determine whether we're still in with a chance but we'll probably also need Everton to lose their next two. Hope the fans get behind ...

jurek

Not sure who but would prefer a young, up and coming manager who has the drive and ambition to develop the team. We need a major overhaul (wherever we end up) so that would give the new manager the chance to make his mark. Hopefully relatively quickly especially if we 're in the Championship. Wouldn...

jurek

Time will no doubt tell whether sacking Dyche now was the right move. Much will depend on how the players respond over the next 2 or 3 games. And, to a possibly lesser degree, what the starting eleven will be. It's difficult not to think there's an element of panic and naivety. about the decision es...

jurek

Without wishing to sound too obvious then we need to get some better players. No disrespect to our current team/squad most of whom have served us well over the years but many of them are past their best and not going too improve. And hopefully through them resolve some of the current weaknesses - be...

jurek

I fell you have to give Dyche a tremendous amount of credit for what he has done over the last 6 years or so and if he manages to keep us up this year then no doubt all will be forgiven by many who are questioning him at present. But the key question is irrespective of whether we stay up or go down ...

jurek

Have to agree with Jakupclaret on this one unless one of Leeds, Brentford and/or Newcastle have an absolute abysmal end to the season.i.e. only pick up a few points. Whilst we need to pick up at least 12 and hope Everton don't pick up as many. And to keep hopes seriously alive we need to pick up 3 o...

jurek

I agree we need to try and win all our remaining fixtures but the chances of that are more than very slim. But we will need to win at least four of them as well as hope Everton fail to do the same. It's a very tall order I think but not impossible. A win at Norwich will make it more possible and lea...

jurek

As long as we get one more point than Everton and the same as Watford
then we should be safe even though it might be goal difference that keeps us up.

jurek

Although I would agree it's not a must win much will depend on how Everton, Watford, Leeds and also Newcastle perform at the weekend. They all play before us so we'll know how they've got on before we play Norwich on Sunday. The ideal situation would be if Everton and Newcastle lose and Watford draw...

jurek

I wonder whether Dyche will drop McNeil and start Cornet? McNeil hasn't done much and is struggling and Cornet can be a match winner. The other question is whether to start Jayrod alongside WW? If so then we could look ike Pope Roberts Tarks, Collins, Taylor. Cork, Brownhill. Westwood Jayrod, WW, Co...

jurek

...will decide whether we have any chance of staying up. I think we'll need a good performance against City but expect a loss to hopefully put us in the right frame of mind for our next two games against Everton and Norwich Win both and we're still in with a chance. 4 points may still leave us with ...

jurek

If we beat City it will be beyond belief and if we then beat Everton we will have opened the door to miracle land. For those super optimistic it might be an idea to get down to the bookies and place a bet on us winning both. Decent odds more than likely. For those less optimistic possibly check out ...

jurek

Leeds might be our best hope of staying up
if we can manage a couple of wins from our games in hand.
Especially if we can beat Everton on the 6th of April I think it is.

jurek

Looking decidedly bad for us if Everton get the 3 points.
which they just have.
We're running out of hope.
Hope that we can mange to win a few games and Leeds implode.

Hanging on a thread.

jurek

Saw Luton against Chelsea a week or so back in the FA Cup and they looked
a decent side and were equal to Chelsea certainly in the first half.
They've two or three very good players and I wouldn't be surprised if they
do very well this season. Maybe even get promoted albeit via the play offs.

jurek

Apart from what already has been mentioned by previous posters then i think our stay in the premiership has put the town on the map certainly across the football world and also given fans like myself who can't make it to many games the chance to see my team play - be it on the telly. And there have ...

jurek

As close to a must win as you can get and if not then the games against Norwich, Watford are must wins alongside one or two others say Everton and Newcastle. And if can't manage wins agains those not then we'll have to pick up a few wins against Everton, Villa, Wolves and possibly Southampton. And w...

jurek

The 1.5b plus whatever he gets for selling Chelsea will still leave him one of the richest people on the planet I suspect. Can't recall now but I think his overall wealth was estimated at well over 10bn and that was a number of years ago. He amongst others stripped Russia of a lot of its wealth even...

jurek

Disappointing result as was hoping we could hang on for a draw. Let's hope it's just the anticipated performance. A one off after playing so many games recently? And we can come back stronger but don't fancy our chances against Chelsea. But we're still in the mix even if we don't get anything on Sat...

jurek

One other fact is that we've only played 10 at home whilst other teams around us have played 2 or 3 more at home. But we do need to ensure we make the most of that and try to win those games in hand starting with Spurs tomorrow. No mean feat especially given Spurs result at City on Sunday. It's not ...

jurek

Tend to agree with dougcollins re. Brownhill. Wonder if the shackles have been loosened as of late and he's been asked to get forward more often? If so then it certainly seems to be working. Let's hope he continues to do so. The same may also apply to Lennon who seems to have found a new lease of li...

jurek

Most fans wish to see their team win, score goals and perform well and you could say that Burnley fans have been starved of much of that this season in particular. So playing in the Championship would provide more of the above especially if we were challenging for top spots and potential promotion b...

jurek

The sooner we get a win the better. With 17 games to go it's getting close to a must win game. But Brighton are a good team and have improved beyond recognition. They're draw specialists ( like us) but have only lost 4, I believe which makes it extremely difficult to get the 3 points. Will need to r...

jurek

We're not down until the fat lady sings and although she might be
in the dressing room clearing her throat she's not yet on stage.

jurek

Enough to keep us in the mix - to speak. But looking at the next four fixtures for Norwich, Watford, Newcastle, Leeds, Everton and Brentford then we need 3-4 more points than they manage to get which suggests we may need at least 6 if not one or two more. We desperately need a win and 3 points from ...

jurek

Trend to agree with Jakubclaret as not sure 36 points will suffice to keep us up. If you look at those above us then: Brentford would require 13 points from their 15 remaining games Leeds 14 from 17, Everton 17 from 17, Newcastle 18 from 16, Norwich 20 from 16, Watford 21 from 16 whilst we would nee...

jurek

What a relief! Thought we were in for a real tonking at half-time. Don't think we had one shot in the first half but sounds as if we came out in the second half with something to prove and Jay's goal certainly sparked us up. Pity we couldn't nab a second but at least we showed some fight. United fan...

jurek

Let's hope the fans get right behind the team and let
them know we're up for it.

I'm sure the players will know how important this game is
albeit we'll need to win a goodly few more apart from this one.

Come on you Clarets!

jurek

It's big! There is no doubt about that especially if you look at our next 3 home fixtures ( Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea) with Brighton and Palace away after Liverpool. Will need stellar performances to get many points from those 5 fixtures. But you never know. A win against Watford would be a huge ...

jurek

I think most would have been happy with Orsic and Weghurst. But as we all know the Orsic deal fell through at the last minute through no fault of our own and not for the lack of trying. I doubt whether there will be any last minute incoming so as such disappointing but still, from my point of view a...

jurek

I think we have to put our faith in Pace and Co. in trying their utmost to bring in decent players who will improve the team and hopefully help us get a few wins and stay up. How successful the club may or may not be we'll have a better idea after tomorrow and in the next few weeks. Or maybe the las...

jurek

Agree that a striker has to be top priority but we all know that good strikers are extremely difficult to get in maybe more so if you're a team at the bottom of the league. Let's hope we can unearth another Cornet who can make an immediate impact. Otherwise we're reliant on JayRod and Barnes coming ...

jurek

I don't think Wood was part of the problem but losing him has forced Dyche to rethink things and made us have to play a different way rather than looping it up for Wood. Not that we actually created than many clear cut chances or looked like scoring. Maybe if McNeil had looked up and see JBG unmarke...

jurek

I think most if not all Burnley fans will be delighted with the draw and performance. Psychologically has to be a massive boost for the team and fans. Give us hope and something to hold onto to. We've a break now and hopefully get a few back including Cornet and maybe a couple of fresh faces too. An...

jurek

Wasn't expecting that but sounds like a good performance
and we're still fighting and another away game out of the way.

jurek

With our current squad we've got very little chance of staying up unless Dyche can come up with something verging on miraculous both in terms of formation and tactics alongside getting the majority of players to regularly put in best performances over the rest of the season. We lack some of the key ...

jurek

And a loss tomorrow against Arsenal would still leave us with 2 games in hand against Watford, 3 against Newcastle and 4 against Norwich. Given who we've got to play in the next 4 or 5 games that makes the game against Watford an absolute 100% must win. It's daunting but not impossible. Still a dog ...

jurek

Tend to agree with most posters and to get it played.
Anything but a defeat will be a huge boost for starting the season
against United and another away game out of the way.
Blood a few youngsters if need be.
We're going to need as many fit players as possible.

jurek

Just had a look at our up and coming fixtures.
4 from our next 5 home games are against Man U, Liverpool,
Chelsea and Man City! With Southampton afore City.

Gulp again1

Going to take some amazing turn round to get much from those.

jurek

Inevitable I suppose given our lack of players and it buys us a little time to get players fit and hopefully get one or two in. I just hope we avoid any injuries in the run in as we're going to need all hands on deck so to speak. Can't see us getting too many points from our next 3 games if they all...

jurek

Of course survival is still in our own hands. That could also be said for the three teams above us. The odds against us doing so are pretty high but as the poster pointed out a win against Watford gives us a fighting chance. Can we do it? There's always a chance. Will we do it? Who knows. We'll have...

jurek

2 or 3 on loan would probably be our best option although one or two permanent could also work if they could increase their value and if the worst came to the worst and we're relegated we could sell them on for a profit. Or at the very least not lose out financially. Much depends on how we get on ag...

jurek

I think it might be to our advantage to have the Watford game called off especially if we're short of some of our best players because of Covid. They look dangerous going forward and are capable of getting goals. Would give us time to regroup and hopefully get one or two in and restart the season po...

jurek

Not to have many, if any of our youngsters
progressing into the first team is one of our major failings
over the last few seasons.
