JTClaret

One game at a time.

Win against Leeds and Everton, and nobody is even thinking about us.

JTClaret

I don't think it's a lack of appreciation, more a fear of losing the things that we appreciate. A couple of years ago we looked at the bench and thought 'wow, we've come so far' whereas at the moment you look at it and think 'is this enough'. No wingers and, as much as we love him, Barnes isn't the ...

JTClaret

He's not actually said anything

JTClaret

There isn't an issue tbh, just some people want to know all the ins and outs of staff at a business because there isn't much else to talk about. If we announced a new signing tomorrow people would forget about this stuff for a week or so. 100% :lol: I've not been on for a while and no idea if any r...

JTClaret

I don't see what the issue is, unless I'm missing something. When a company takes over a business there is a transitional period, during which some of the old regime don't like the new one, so leave. Not really a big deal, as long as the right people are hired to replace, if required. People complai...

JTClaret

Initial thought is Heaton... but there's a few.
- Pope
- Lowton
- Keane
- Tarks
- Barton
- Arfield
- Westwood
- Gray (controversial maybe, but what do you want from a signing? Promotion, Profit and the fact we never missed Ings)
- Wood
- Barnes

Sadly a graphic design salary isn't great unless you get a job somewhere you can progress up the ladder or set up and work freelance. So many graphic design courses and programs where a design facility is built-in has created more designers than jobs - many who go to college to do graphic design hav...

JTClaret

As soon as I saw that he was French I thought of his dad and how to pronounce it that way before reading that was his dad.

JTClaret

Southgate isn't going to change his style. Especially not when he is unbeaten.
He'll happily take a boring win. And with the way this country is moaning at bloody anything at the moment, I can see that happening.

Beating Germany, but people still not being happy. hahah

JTClaret

Covid really has affected the Euros. The fact there has been no media hype (it is still very negative about the team), we don't have the usual bombardment of football adverts on TV (which I'm missing, I always look forward to them) and people aren't piling in the pubs to watch the games surrounded b...

JTClaret

I'll always be remembered as a Burnley player who won everything in the air, it was unreal at times and clearly knew how to make Dyche's system work. As it mentions Ings and Gray it's easy to see why he is/was perfect perfect for the big man/small man combo, where he would win the ball and the quick...

JTClaret

Just sounds like them saying they won't sell cheap, that's all.

JTClaret

He went with his dad? And got his dad to call Redknapp?
Dyche wouldn't have played him then haha

JTClaret

I'd don't think he is wrong in what he is saying. And the Palace reference was made as a 'my club... palace' then added 'with ambition' mentioning a time in which Palace signed the former Ajax and Inter manager (whether it went well or not is irrelevant). For me this isn't a Palace are big, but more...

JTClaret

Is this a weird 'why weren't you richer?' post? Garlick didn't sack Dyche during tough times when many other clubs would. Dyche, although frustrated, never seemed to have been duped into believing the financial situation was any different - And if he was, either way, be it told there was money but w...

The club have already stated (in October) that prices won't increase next season for existing ST holders.

That won't include those that had a refund though will it. I know mine won't go up... that's the main reason I carried on paying

JTClaret

If they increase prices it’ll be the biggest own goal the Turf has seen since Djimi Traore. It'd be great if they don't, although after a year with nobody going at all it may be seen as a necessity. I wouldn't expect them to be a huge increase, but an increase all the same. I don't even know what a...

JTClaret

Should be pointed out that the seaon ticket prices being frozen for 7 years is a bit of a myth. We got less games when we got promoted to the premier league so technically, amount per match, the tickets were increased.... but that said they are still cheap, a north end friend of mine complains abou...

They are not taking out direct debit payments after this week.

Cool. Where abouts has it said that. I trust that to be the case... but wouldn't have known but for Leisure (and yourself) replying. I just feel I must be looking in the wrong places.

JTClaret

Bloody hell, he's only 28... I was sure he was older

JTClaret

Presumably you'll use whatever amount is on his account and just pay the difference. I would imagine so. 7 years of frozen season ticket prices, including free for U10s, I not going to kick up a fuss. I think the thing we all need to bear in mind is that if Covid keeps on hanging around for longer ...

JTClaret

I agree it could be clearer that the last payment would be in March/April and nothing further would be taken for 12 months. The issue is that I, and by the sounds of it a few others, would be disappointed but not entirely surprised if they continued to take money out. I'm lucky I'm not overly concer...

JTClaret

I am surprised the OP has even heard of any of the players in his first post considering he has just typed "lool" Being under 8 yr old it shows a decent knowledge of the game to have heard of any of them so fair play What is funny is that an under 18 isn't likely to use 'lol' at all as it's an old,...

JTClaret

How much space is on the hard drive?
I was having a nightmare last week, only to discover the memory storage was at 99%. It was much better once I'd cleared some space.
Other times it's just because I, or my son, are playing a bit crap haha

JTClaret

He's almost good.

He might get better and become really good. I'm not actually sure what is missing from his game, could just be confidence and composure.

There’s a fourth - he does OK and the run their hands together at saving 10 plus million quid

And a fifth - It turns out Lowton is like a much slower, less skillful, right sided version of Gareth Bale. And we then buy a new right back

JTClaret

If we had, and JBG and Brady had avoided injury, people would be complaining that we had too many wingers. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but it certainly can't help a club with our budget. At the start of the season they were both 'fit', they didn't last the first two games between them sadly. Cr...

JTClaret

I think people who support this, fail to see the patently obvious, which is we would be strengthening one position, by making another weaker. Wether Lowts would do a job there is irrelevant imo, because we need him at right back. Dyche does like to stick to a rigid formation, and when everyone is f...

JTClaret

Brownhill just doesn't work there, even Pieters was better, so Lowton must be worth a shout

JTClaret

He had so much pressure on him to be the main man for the team at such an early age. Possibly resulting in teams focusing on him to stop him. Even when he turns Alexander-Arnold inside out you can hear Klopp shouting 'On his left!'. The one-footedness appears to make him run around in circles quite ...

JTClaret

Lol he's only played a few games and done nothing wrong. Bad at making signings like Ings, Trippier, Tarks, Pope, Westwood, Taylor, Barnes, Gudmonson, Defour, Mee, Lowton, Cork, Heaton, Barton etc basically the players who have put us Premier League for the last 5 years them signings? Did you reall...

JTClaret

I'd be very surprised if Pope and Tarks are Burnley players in September. No real surprise, and no ill-feeling as long as they go to sides that challenge for Europe (I wonder how Tarks feels about West Ham now). My only concern is who WE get to replace them... I don't rate BPF and we aren't exactly ...

JTClaret

He's everywhere!!!! He is to presenting what Peter Crouch is to adverts. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I went a day without him popping up. Whether it's on the BBC, including the bloody one show, that seemed weird. Or BT Sports or who knows what else. It's like in a world of covid, Jenas ...

JTClaret

Bringing parents to a signing is a weird one. It's not really a job interview, actually more like a graduation - He'd already got the job. Dyche likes to know the player, Bamford was very family orientated, for what ever reason, but that's hardly a bad thing. The only thing it really does is show Ba...

JTClaret

I had a drunken theory the other night. Is it because they start playing as children, often only playing in a professional environment? In real life you learn to 'man-up' (for want of a better term) otherwise you are called out as soft in school. However, the screams, wailing and getting upset is so...

JTClaret

I've said it for a while that I don't think Barnes/Wood has worked for a couple of years and usually Dyche is forced into the changes. I also can't deny that Jack Cork is back and we are playing better. I don't hide from the fact I say I often don't rate him and feel he isn't involved enough (just r...

JTClaret

To be honest, I wasn't surprised. Although I also wouldn't have been surprised if we'd have got to the final during a time we can't go and watch haha

JTClaret

That's an early start for a Friday isn't it, on the pop already?

JTClaret

I'm hugely missing going on t'turf, it's my escapism, and at a time when we are stuck in the same 4 walls (for a lot of us) I can't wait to get back. Truth is, it isn't the same watching it on TV. My lad simply isn't bothered for football on tv but would have a go at me if for some reason we had to ...

JTClaret

As soon as the team sheet was announced I felt a defeat was coming, weirdly along with the poor performance. It shows a lack of squad depth, a lack of rotation to the usual starting 11 and an inability to play against teams that are considered below us (at least in terms of the leagues). On the plus...

JTClaret

They've struck gold with that tweet. Some funny replies.

Go ask one of the rugby fans and let us know.

Its a foot long (12 inches)... hence, football.

JTClaret

Pope: 10 - What more can you want? Lowton: 8 - Fantastic defending (not higher as he didn't have much opportunity for attacking, not a pop at him at all though) Tarkowski: 10 - Brilliant Mee: 8 - Brilliant, but could have cost us Taylor: 7 - Did very well (but only half a game, not his fault) Brady:...

JTClaret

I'd say he learnt from Heaton (or Mercer I suppose)... and it was evident that this is what Joe Hart was missing

JTClaret

Every opinion is as valid as the next but I hope your a head scout for a big club. You can reccomend your club pays 10m for a winger that's better than a 40m rated one. You will be a hero for the big money saving and Burnley can get a fee for a player with only 6 months left on his contract. Win wi...

JTClaret

My United supporting mates agreed very early on in the game that he was rattled and was struggling to cope with the attention from Mee and Tarks

JTClaret

Have Barnes and Wood been effective together since the 18/19 season?

19/20 started poorly and changed when Barnes was injured and Jay Rod was playing.
This season we are into January and still waiting for the attack to start being effective.

JTClaret

I thought the same as it was happening, although our attacks were coming down the right and very little on the left. With that in mind I hoped McNeil would move us further up the field, which it did slightly to be fair. We were so deep all second half, and I assumed this was on instruction. Barnes w...

JTClaret

He's constantly improving, and becoming very influential within the team.
I'd like to see him driving forward with the ball more, as I do feel he has that ability - but in terms of doing the job asked in order to turn things around and get points on the board, he's been fantastic.

JTClaret

I'm surprised so many are saying about the strikers. When we were in possession of the ball in our our half we were pretty poor, we didn't get the ball to midfield from defence well enough, meaning the midfield couldn't supply the forward line. That being said, we are picking up points now. Hopefull...
