Or, let him go and let him learn the managerial trade without ruining his and our reputation any further.

How in gods name is he ruining our reputation? Reputation as what?

Unfortunately, all that Boskamp said when Kompany left Anderlecht is now playing out. Sadly he has proved that his is intellectually and temperamentally incapable of managing at the highest level He's had less than a full season in the premier league. I think its unfortunately the case that most fa...

I wonder if any manager has gone from hero to zero so fast. He's learning too remember, don't write him off. I'm still very positive, given where we were and the squad we had when we last got relegated. I honestly thought that following season we might be in another relegation scrap. By some miracle...

It’s not a witch hunt .. Trafford gives the ball away 4 out of every 5 times he kicks it out …that’s a fact and another fact is we only have 12 points

Those aren't correlated facts though are they. Shark attacks increase with ice cream sales too.

willsclarets

I feel both deflated and excited about our squad, it's very odd. So much talent and potential, so little nous or leadership. It's the next transfer window window that's really important, can we keep our best players when we go down. With more experience and development this squad stays up easy peasy.

willsclarets

That's the problem with this board, it goes too far. To say he didn't look up for the fight in his cameo is fine, to say its an odd substitution is fine. He hasn't lit any fires since arriving but some of the criticism and abuse on here is way overboard.

If anyone thinks this is simply standing your ground, I genuinely don't know how unless you have some sort of agenda https://twitter.com/lewisclarke797/stat ... 9ajZw&s=19

I'd also be annoyed if we had an equaliser disallowed for that and so would the whole of this board. Striker doesn't foul him Your responses are so void of sense or any acknowledgement of counters it's pointless. I wouldn't be annoyed at all, I'd be disappointed but fully expect to have it disallow...

willsclarets

No it's not, if we get a goal like that disallowed against any top 6 club we'd say it was top 6 bias and soft. Striker stands his ground, Trafford is miles from the ball and flops like an OAP without Viagra. Interesting that Rob Edwards even said he'd be annoyed at the decision not being given for ...

willsclarets

I find it weird people don't see the ability amdouni clearly has. It's not quite coming off for him at times, but he has the potential to be a top player, both in terms of linking play and as a goalscorer. He could be a 15-20 goal striker in the premier league imo.

Who backs in to him? If the attacker isn't there he is no where near the ball, massive error. Never a foul imagine that given against us....it'd be biased VAR

Absolute boll*cks.

willsclarets

Foul 😂 If the player backs away he doesn't get near the ball. No man's land springs to mind. What was he thinking. Can't disallow a goal for a keeper error It's a foul, clear as day. But don't let your dislike of trafford cloud your judgement. Hes not great on crosses, but a foul is a foul. He back...

willsclarets

Some of you just love knocking our players. Give the bloke a bit of time. It's easy to forgive things not coming off for him, or struggling to adapt to the premier league. But you can't come on for the last 5 minutes, fresh as a daisy, and not chase and close down as hard as you can. Or back out of...

willsclarets

If you could pick two of the current squad who you wouldn’t want in the last few mins of a tight relegation battle it would be Tresor and Larson. Both an utter embarrassment when they came on hopefully id honestly get rid of both this January. Larsen didn't do much wrong. At least he looked interes...

willsclarets

He looks like a man who regrets coming to Burnley. He clearly has talent based on what he did last season, but he looked half asleep when he came on. I still hope he'll come good but physically he looks ill equipped for the premier league.

WE'VE JUST HAD TWO POINTS STOLEN!!

Not for the first time either. Berge and the handball that wasn't at forest. Joke

willsclarets

All the Trafford haters were very quiet for 88 minutes after he'd had a really good game. You must've been delighted

willsclarets

All for giving treaor a chance because he obviously has pedigree. But he's last the person on Earth you want for a last 5 scrap to hold a lead. He's scared to death of a tackle.

sod off football. 10 times we've been 1-0 up this season and only won 3.

So pleased for Amdouni. Cracking player in there I think. Odobert is just superb, defenders nightmare

I'm lucky that I can fall asleep almost instantly on a concrete floor. Trying hard over the past month to increase exercise and eat a little better.

Has to be all 3 tonight. Not that it will end the season but if we don’t beat this lot the confidence would be at an all time low.

I think anything but 3 today makes staying up a lot less likely. With odds already stacked.

willsclarets

Hope Benson gets some game time on the right today

willsclarets

In my opinion Amdouni will go on to be a better player than Tella. Even this season, not much difference certainly in points. I think Maatsen has been more of a miss.

willsclarets

There's not many things worse than being falsely accused of a terrible crime. Thank goodness in the end justice has been true, though you don't get those 12 months of stress and pain back. The police spend far too much time focusing on finding someone to arrest and charge, rather than establishing t...

And Trafford might well of caught all the crosses last night and made it look easy but the point is if he had of played and caught everything, everyone would be saying how well he played and he is improving in the air but because muric caught everything with ease it’s because the quality of crossin...

willsclarets

So when we we say Trafford made all these saves against Brighton, Fulham, Liverpool and Villa, should we just say well he’s a keeper so we should hope he saves those? That’s my point, muric made something look easy last night and it’s all about the opposition being poor, would those crosses last ni...

willsclarets

You said his presence was misleading which is putting a negative spin on his performance straight away when if it had been Trafford last night out outpour of positive comments that would have arrived had he commanded his area. Where did I say the word ‘everything’ Ok you said "anything". Semantics....

willsclarets

So anything good muric does is misleading due to the opposition being poor? Had Trafford placed last night and commanded his area like Muric did, fans would be all over threads saying what an improve it was from Trafford commanding his area, we all know Trafford isn’t going to lose the number 1 shi...

willsclarets

His aerial presence last night was misleading, if you take the quality of the crosses into account. Which were absolutely woeful from spurs. They were more or less all catching practice with no one anywhere near him. Contrast that with mitoma and gross at Brighton for example, which were all whipped...

Infuriating how justice is the reserve of the wealthy and the little people have to wait decades (if at all) to see it.

Programme was really good but the last episode felt rushed

willsclarets

Amdouni has been frustrating in front of goal, but I think it's Foster mk II. For me he comes good and starts scoring, you can see he has the tools

willsclarets

Our final pass is so awful.

willsclarets

Nope he’s not suited to this league at all. He’s like your Weghorst shout, not the right type of player for this league. He offers **** all This is nonsense. He's not set the world alight but you can see he's full of ability. At 23 and with his qualities he's easily up to playing in this league. I ...

One of the lamentable things about data analytics, is the uniformity of players and playing styles. They are almost athletes first and footballers second. That's a blanket statement of course that has examples of contradiction. But it seems very unlikely a matt le tissier for example, would find his...

willsclarets

Not only do we have to beat Luton, we need to get points where we look certain to lose on paper. All the other teams just above are getting points off the likes of Liverpool and City even. To stand any chance there needs to be a few surprises in there a la Dyche.

willsclarets

Not overly surprised. We have far too many wingers, and both koleosho/Odobert have proven they have what it takes in a struggling team no less. He's 27, much older than the other two, we'll make a good profit and he's pretty injury prone. On his day he's superb, but he's not a reliable starter and i...

willsclarets

I know we've been poor a lot, but I still think we've been unlucky to get this many points. Forest away, west ham at home, palace at home, this game. Probably others where 9 times out of 10 we take all 3 points or at least a draw

Why is everything a competition?

It’s a fact VKs is having a shocker this year. It’s not exactly radical to say Burnley fans have been incredibly lenient with him.

Anywhere else and he would be gone

Thank goodness we're not anywhere else then. Getting rid of him would be utterly pointless

willsclarets

More than possible my mind is playing tricks! I definitely remember a 1v1 JBG had vs arsenal on the left edge of the box which would be a bit odd from wide right. And I thought (but might be wrong) he was picking up space centrally especially second half.

Gudmundsson is a good player and I'm glad he starts sometimes.

I'm not saying he's not a good player. But how do you spend so much money on wide players and be left playing a 33 year old JBG who wasn't quite up to the standard required last time around

JBG played on the right at Arsenal.

If he started there he certainly moved central

willsclarets

I don't think we did establish he was better central, at least not in the Premier League when the onus is more on defending and tracking runners than dominating the game, and the system/set up reflects that truth. He plays that wide role better than anyone else in this squad. I disagree. Even this ...

willsclarets

Really don't see the point of having JBG wide at all. After establishing he's better central at his age and signing 100 wingers, he still ends up starting there. Crazy.

willsclarets

Just watch the highlights, no way should he be being beaten from that angle for the second goal. Long barrier required, as per Nick Pope. I'm sure he'll learn, but it's costing us at the moment James Trafford is not costing us anything at the moment. In net terms, he's most certainly in the black.

willsclarets

I don't even think its a turning point, just extremely disappointed that we can create chances like that and not even test the keeper. I wouldn't say any other than JBG's header should have been scored, but they at least should have been on target on 2 or more occasions. Larsen has to score his cha...

Oh balls. Last thing we need is forest picking up form

willsclarets

I remember that season very well. We looked so lost in the first half of the season, and looking at that lineup it's not tricky to see why. For me the best decision Stan made for Burnley was bringing in Paul Cook, which must've been soon after the turn of the year ish in 1999. He was absolutely class.
