Tresor would rip Championship defences apart next season. I hope he stays even though it is unclear.

Elizabeth

Too many people complain about the lack of experience in our team & the only way to let players get the experience is to play them, I trust VK to be doing the right thing for long term improvement. That's normally a good way to look at it however the mistake Kompany has made is to not have enough p...

Elizabeth

Best performance I seen from the generally poor Burnley side. Feel we would have won had we not fallen asleep just after half time. So many issues

Elizabeth

Get this clown out? The conundrum I have is that he has been useless this season but I don't think it will help what the club are trying to do if he goes. I know this sounds like we are stuck with him

Elizabeth

thought we played really well, stats look great and so does the XG, another day we score 3 goals I thought Vinnies tactics were spot on Dara O shea MOM for me. Trust the process clarets- we can do this. ;) Can we get Stats and XG into the team ? Vinnie's tactics were a that of a mad professor today

Me if he'd have scored with the header!

Funny

Elizabeth

The number of times he was out of his box with his foot on the ball thinking what to do with the ball was unreal.
Some will argue there was no movement in front of him but I feel it's more than that. My take on it is that he doesn't know what to do with the ball

Elizabeth

Completely disjointed today with some players playing in several different positions on the field all in the same 90 mins. Its like a lab experiment!
Who the heck wants Vintinho in the centre forward position when a cross comes in ?

Elizabeth

I think we are on the right lines like Heckingbottom says but we have recruited badly for this season and it has cost us our place. We need to do better the next time and as fans need to support Kompany and the club in what they are doing. There has been an awful lot of nonsense and overreaction by ...

40 goals of our 55 conceded have been against teams in the top 10. In our next 9 games we play just 3 teams in the top 10.

Its hard to find a more positive poster than you RV. You have never wavered in your belief we are going in the right direction.

Elizabeth

Nobody has said it yet so I will. We took our throw ins quicker.
Yeh, stupid I know but we were that bad.

Elizabeth

Apologies for some horrific writing in the OP as well, using 'and' four times in one sentence is embarrassing. The overriding point still stands - we just need to go for it. Don't let the unwarranted amount of stick you get make you paranoid , you are just hurting more than most and using the board...

We haven't been marking properly all season. Not tracking runners, zonal marking.

It all adds up to being shambolic defensively.

Just the wrong day to bring it up. Arsenal has scored most PL goals from balls into the box and today never threatened despite their numerous supply

Elizabeth

If anyone on here thinks going down and coming straight back up next season is a given, then think again. I have seen nine games this year in the Championship, including teams like Leicester (a number of times), Ipswich, Leeds,Coventry, Hull, WBA and there are some very well organised teams in ther...

Imagine what spending 15m on 3 or 4 other prem experience and prem level players would have done

Yes but that is not the thinking by the club. Buy young and sell at a profit is their direction . I'm just unsure about the timescale between buying and selling.

Elizabeth

Why is it so beyond the realms of possibility that Kompany could improve as a manager? Why do we have to throw the baby out with the bathwater after one bad season? Do we really want to be like most the other clubs that turnover managers everytime there's a rough patch. Where does it get them? I un...

Elizabeth

There's not a chance this side gets relegated twice in 2 seasons - 1000/1 The gulf in class between Arsenal and us is huge - we've beaten the 2 teams that came up with us this season Burnley will destroy 90% of them teams in the championship It really is a rough ride but we have to tough it out. Cl...

Elizabeth

I'd add to that, we have been better overall since the Arsenal game away when we finally realised that we can't play like we did in the Championship. The Muric/Trafford debate aside, I think if we add Foster and Taylor to the squad on Saturday then we aren't too bad. Cut out the soft goals and we c...

Then perhaps you can remember the joy of just getting to a league match.
It's all about money now, and far too analytical for it's own good.

I think you have summed up our club under it's present management and ownership very well

Elizabeth

I like Josh and can forgive him his limitations at this level. He's not the loudest on the field and could have done with one or two stronger characters to help him.
What must he think of the massive turnaround in players this season ?

Elizabeth

I don't know how old you are, but I started going to league football matches at 11 years old. There wasn't much live football on TV in 1962, getting to a real match was the "reward", the result was a bonus. I guess I'm still a bit like that now. Just so you know , I'm of a similar age not that it s...

So what do I deserve?

Whatever you want , hope it's more than I'm getting from this season

Elizabeth

Its not Trafford's fault he has been put in this position. Of course he is going to make mistakes at his age. Additionally he has no experience of playing at this level. If you are going to blame someone blame Kompany and the club policy

Yes, you deserve so much better.

Better than you bill

Elizabeth

Young inexperienced players should not be targeted for these defeats. There has to be the big question as why so many of them have been thrown together at the same time. That undoubtedly will be the reason we are relegated. I know there is a small number who can stomach this but I believe the majori...

Elizabeth

Its hard not to think we've messed up in this game

Elizabeth

If we accept we will be relegated it will mean Kompany has failed in his first attempt at managing in the PL . I think that can be accepted considering he is still a relatively new manager and it is widely regarded as the best league in the world What is unacceptable is what we are witnessing on thi...

Elizabeth

All I wanted to see was some fight and character, especially when we are behind, and the new lads certainly helped bring that out. There are a lot of starters who are just going through the motions and you could see the change when they were taken off. I think there were promising signs there and r...

Elizabeth

I wish I knew what his role was meant to be today. With Berge basically out of the midfield playing central defender, was he suppose to be a part of a plan to bring the full backs into attacking positions? If he was it failed while he was on the field. All he did was run around closing their players...

Are Ramsey and Amdouni heading for the worst ever Player Ratings average marks ?

Elizabeth

This thread is a perfect example of how toxic this board has become at times. I think there has been some great points on this thread supporting the idea as to why many fans feel detached. The offensive posts have come from those posters disagreeing with this idea and you are quite right they do th...

We're going to be left with better players than we were last time we were relegated ( after outgoings) but you carry on being detached

Funnily enough my son and I have never been so excited about a Burnley squad. It's all in the eye of the beer holder I guess.

Its good to hear that and I'm not being funny. Hold on to it

Elizabeth

We don't need any more exciting signings. We need boring experienced steady signings. Whoever we sign in this window seems unlikely to make any significant difference to avoiding relegation back to the Championship. We are going to be left with a right concoction to sort out before next season star...

I like Twine, but do we reckon he's going to improve sufficiently to play at PL level?
At 24, he still has time, i'd say, certainly hope so.

I'm thinking off him playing for us in the Championship next season. A good second half of the season with Bristol City would help greatly

Elizabeth

Arsenal and Luton’s goals are different for me. White simply stands in front of the GK. It’s gamesmanship, but hard to penalise because he’s literally stood still. Adebayo looks at Trafford and makes a movement towards him to block him off. He turns his back as he steps backwards to maximise the bl...

Elizabeth

Well done Scott, let's have a few more of them before the end of the season!

Elizabeth

The Villa player was holding back the Everton defender from coming out so a correct final decision for me . My grievance is the length of time everyone had to wait

Elizabeth

The commentator signalled a 3 minute wait for the decision

Elizabeth

Does their opinion really matter? We only believe them when they agree with us. These pundits love the new industry which is VAR . Listened to Savage who , shock horror, agreed the goal should stand. Listened to Michael Gray who took a different tack and concentrated on Burnley's goal being doubtfu...

Yeh I know it sounds ridiculous. The other thing I have in my mind to counter such thought is that consistently over the last 60 years I have known, we have an extraordinary amount of luck in guessing the right way the coin is going to come up

Elizabeth

Without checking I'm pretty sure we played towards the Jimmy Mac in the 2nd half in every single home game last season. I've always wondered whether the tossing of a coin was purely a ceremonial thing and the away manager was asked as a courtesy before the game whether he had any objection to the e...

Just a thought - we have had 4 red card’s Zaroury, Foster, Roberts and Berge. All four served their time but went missing immediately afterwards for “various reasons”. Maybe there is some form of club discipline in place ??

I suppose that's called a conspiracy theory

Elizabeth

VAR is very frustrating and although it gets most of the decisions right it still makes some big mistakes. That said I think we just need to be patient with it and give it time to bed in as I think given time it will come good and in the future people will look back in horror about how we used to m...

Elizabeth

Appreciate the convincing argument but you know this for sure? Psychologically the ref knows he has a safety net of VAR behind him so it’s easier to let a contentious decision go and let folk elsewhere figure it out. More so when refs know decisions with ‘smaller teams’ get less scrutiny in the med...

Elizabeth

Yes, fans need to start identifying with the players. It's always been part of Burnley folklore

Elizabeth

Possibly. There’s little point debating it since nobody really knows the truth, but as I posted previously, if we want to maximise the value we create from some of these young gems we’re going to have to learn not to sell them too early. Part of that will be creating an environment where they’re ha...

Of course you do and if you want to call me Beth that is ok too
