Exactly, I've never seen a set of fans behave like some of ours have this season, falling over themselves to praise other teams in an effort to slag burnley off.

The Blackburn game the other night was a new low.

Swizzlestick

BobSykes must be gutted about today.

Yet to win a game under Eustace which is worrying for them to say the least.

If the pay was decent, young people would jump at it in towns where opportunities for skilled and semi-skilled work are very low, especially if the pay was decent. I see plenty of young people knee-deep in mud and in all weathers too - no recruitment issues either because the starting rate is above...

Because in this snowflake generation there would be no one willing to work down the pits.
It wouldn’t be good for their mental health and well being.

You'd be front of the queue of course.

I know we’re having a bad season but perhaps a little hasty.

Swizzlestick

Loved The Hairy Bikers - great, easy to follow recipes and very entertaining. Dave always came across as an absolute gent with no airs and graces. Really sad news. Rest in peace.

I remember plying Wigan Athletic in the Premier League in 2009 at home, I think we lost 3-1 from memory, and I stated back then that we just weren’t equipped physically for the Premier League. They had athletes, big physical guys who could also run, in their team and they dominated us. It was a lig...

And that is why I question the view that we will walk the championship next season: I think we are in for a decade of reality: that we are a mid-table championship side

Did you mention this in corporate?

Rovers showed spirit and a game plan tonight - the championship will be tough next year

So tough Rovers may not be in it.

Swizzlestick

Good cup tie but yet to win a game under Eustace. 120 minutes of football, away to Swansea at the weekend, four points above the drop zone…

Swizzlestick

On this showing Rovers will have a field day against us next season, home and away They are immeasurably better than our crock of sh1t offering. Heartbreaking watching the passion desire and grit from those down the road conpared to the garbage we've been served up all season. Get a grip for the lo...

That’s absolutely disgusting.

Embarrassing fee paid and embarrassing wages being paid to a League One standard keeper.

Humiliating.

Convinced you’re some sort of bot.

Swizzlestick

What an utter farce.

Swizzlestick

As I keep saying,there's 19 million reasons why he keeps starting. You can keep saying it, but he’s not been regularly starting all his other big money signings. Koleosho was ahead of Odobert in the pecking order before injury. Ramsey only just getting in the team before his injury. Tresor AWOL for...

Wilders got a better record than VK since returning.

As you’d expect - new guy in and we’ve been diabolical. And yet they’re still below us. What’s the difference in results, a point or something? Hardly suggests long term success but who knows.

Swizzlestick

Wilder since returning will have a better record than VK in a like for like comparison. The only reason they are on the same points tally as us is because heckingbottom stayed too long & wilder didn't go there sooner Can only imagine the reaction on here from the likes of you if a new manager came ...

Swizzlestick

Boro and Watford fans may have a different answer if you ask them about Wilder’s ability to get out of the Championship

Swizzlestick

Stoke had three consecutive top ten finishes in the PL after Pulis left. It’s not change of philosophy as such, more making the right decisions particularly in the transfer market. Something we patently haven’t done.

Swizzlestick

I’ve been highly critical of Brownhill’s performances this season, but this is hardly worth getting your knickers in a twist about. Comes across as more of a ‘it never rains but it pours’ smile.

As already alluded to, when we go down, he'll be the first one in with a transfer request.

He can request one, he might not be getting one. Can’t be featuring highly in too many scouting reports.

Are people starting to believe the information that I heard at the start of the season yet?

When fit, contractually, Trafford has to start!

There’s nothing else that can explain why Kompany won’t drop him.

I think you’ve had one too many in The Fleece…

Post of the day.

Swizzlestick

It certainly does but people have written this post ten times over already this season and that is why I'm in the go camp now. Do you expect that there will be big changes next week? Probably not, but I would envisage this is the first time he's had a bit of grief from the support (as per CT). Inte...

Swizzlestick

That absolutely is not happening. Brownhill change is forced, but it's gonna be the same team, the same setup, the same attitude, the same effort, the same errors we've seen without mitigation since the winter set in and the optimism that inevitably flourished in the early season dissipated. If Tra...

Swizzlestick

Stay but my god he’s on wafer thin ice. Has to be big changes next week - in personnel, tactics and attitude.

Swizzlestick

We've abandoned everything. It's crazy. Without wishing to reignite a tired debate on this thread too, I do think it's partly to accommodate a keeper who doesn't have the skillset. There are many, many other issues. We're now just this odd vaguely pragmatic playing for percentages team using player ...

Swizzlestick

Benson on 90 minutes in. Good one Vinny.

Swizzlestick

Just get us out of the league.

Swizzlestick

World's smallest 'yay

Swizzlestick

Get Muric, Cullen (from the start), Benson and Rodriguez back in this team. Try and at least get some pride back.

Swizzlestick

It's now becoming the stuff of nightmares, this. We've talked about how patient the support has been so far, really could start to turn now.

Swizzlestick

I've lost track of the amount of times I've said variations of this throughout the season, but in his wildest dreams Glasner couldn't have come up with an easier game. A team bereft of ideas, confidence and basic work rate. Massively on the manager, this.

Swizzlestick

Get Benson on for the love of god. Why not, we're down anyway.

Swizzlestick

And there we go.

Swizzlestick

What I don’t like about this club though, and this messageboard, is the singling out of 18, 19, 20, 21 year old players. We should be better than that as supporters. Players like Odobert will have quiet games at his age. He is a talent. There's a difference between having a quiet game and not putti...

Swizzlestick

If we're looking for a tiny sliver of positivity, team looks a bit better with Cullen in it.

Swizzlestick

It's not even just the lad himself - you can see the general hesitancy and nervousness it causes our defence. It's clear he's been instructed to punt it long more often and just now and again play it out short, but he can't even do that correctly. It's totally derailed our tactical style and turned ...

Swizzlestick

I feel sympathy for him. He's a young player who should have been taken out of the team months ago. Criminal management from Kompany.

Swizzlestick

Utterly braindead from the players and the manager for selecting them.

Swizzlestick

Zero shots in a game where we need a result.

Swizzlestick

We're just hanging on here at the moment. Sorry state of affairs. I don't even know what we're trying to do tactically. Abandoned everything.

Swizzlestick

Trafford, Amdouni and maybe even Brownhill very fortunate to be still regularly starting games.

Swizzlestick

I don’t think he’s being asked to dwell on the ball as much as he does at all.

No issues with Hart on commanding his area.

How did you come off the Preston away game TP?

I went on that game and thought it was a decent point against a tough Championship team - saw a bit of promise there. 12 shots in the game, hardly shot shy away from home.

Swizzlestick

Good shot-stopping is absolutely the first and foremost requirement for a goalkeeper. It’s an important requirement but there are other requirements which you can’t just forget about. Trafford is a good shot stopper - has that been enough this season? Command of area particularly important under Dy...

Oh we scored plenty, but I never watched us thinking we were well coached in the final third. Around the back was superb. But we had never seen it before, I'm bored of it now all through the top 2 divisions.

Genuinely, did you watch us last season?

Swizzlestick

It does then beg the question why Dyche, hardly a manager prone to making changes, dropped him? And why the results started coming after he was dropped.

As we’ve seen this season, good shot stopping can sometimes cloud what the keeper is bringing to the table elsewhere.
