It is certainly very worrying to see us giving up leads at home in consecutive games this season. I genuinely think we'd have had 6 points on the board a couple of seasons ago when seeing out for those wins was second nature to us. I posted on the ratings thread that for a team that cannot for the l...

I noticed the applause to the fans from Barnes and thought it was a bit different at the time but I didn't associate with him "waving goodbye" as there's been nothing said about it. Be interesting to see what happens in the coming days. He was much, much better today but I wouldn't be disappointed i...

Very good player. I thought Leeds were very direct today and they often bypassed Phillips with long balls into their front four, which is probably why he didn't seem to spend much time on the ball in his defensive mid role. He did show the other side of his game today though with some tasty challeng...

Pope 6 Lowton 6 Tarkowski 7 Mee 6 Taylor 5 JBG 5 Westwood 7 Brownhill 7 McNeil 8 Barnes 7 Wood 7 Lennon 5 We played very well against a Leeds side who don't appear to be as good as last season.

Almost all of your posts

But you pretend that you are some sort of guru if it whats floats your boat

LC clearly knows a few things. He's correctly posted the team several times this season.

ksrclaret

I very much hope you are wrong LC.

ksrclaret

I personally think he just cannot stand to be questioned. The sarcasm he deploys is totally cringe though.

No doubt facing the media several times a week is rubbish, but they're just doing a job. A lot of managers treat them with disrespect at times.

ksrclaret

I always liked him. That team with Eagles, Paterson, Blake, and Elliott put the fear of God into those Championship defences. Ran them ragged and tied them in knots.

ksrclaret

Burton just equalised, however…

ksrclaret

Quite impressed with Cheltenham this evening. They look a good side at that level which is fantastic given they’ve just come up and will have a very small budget. They can play as well, number 16 and 11 in midfield look good.

Duff really has done a great job there.

ksrclaret

Good home draw now please for round 3

ksrclaret

Good lad Collins

ksrclaret

Is anyone really surprised at the total lack of football or attacking intent? Fair play to the clarets that are actually there, i feel for them by the sound of things. I always wonder what Dyche stands there and thinks when we're like this. Does he genuinely enjoy getting his teams to play like this?

ksrclaret

oh dear

ksrclaret

I can only assume that nobody was available to produce a flight tracker from Turkey.

It was all okay in the end though, Lennon signed on the dotted line.

ksrclaret

Why on earth would that be embarrassing?

I salute all those travelling fans going up to Newcastle on a Weds night in the summer to watch 90 mins of turgid 442 in a competition we've only ever shown contempt for under Dyche.

ksrclaret

How's Aaron Lennon looking lads?

I think it was obvious that Lennon was going to sign come what may. I doubt he'd have played in the game at Old Trafford if he wasn't.

We were assured he was only here to train though. Something went wrong somewhere with the info.

ksrclaret

Let's hope for a decent home tie in round 3!

Exciting times.

Crikey Spijed, you things are bad when even you can't come up with a positive comment!

ksrclaret

And there was me thinking he was only here to train, you know, like David Jones did. How silly of me.

Welcome back Aaron. Not your fault.

ksrclaret

So it was clickbait. Lancs live would have been proud.

ksrclaret

You've done it now. You've gone and mentioned Leeds. That doesn't go down well on here.

ksrclaret

I've always found Asda to be just about the worst the supermarket sector has to offer. Horrible.

As for matchday marking, isn't there a smallish car park just down the road from Burnley College? Turn right I think as soon as you drive under the bridge. Only 2 mins from where you'd usually park.

ksrclaret

It would be pretty poor form if this other mystery signing is Lennon or Dyche. That would be far too much like the message board version of clickbait for my liking.

ksrclaret

If Chris Hughton can't get it right there, nobody can.

As it happens I think he'll turn it around there and get them promoted, but it will probably take him a few seasons. That will require patience from the owners and fans, though.

ksrclaret

I think Trevor Francis was just a million, wasn't he?

Not for much longer, in Saka's case. He'll never recover from that pen miss. McNeil will probably nick his place in due course.

ksrclaret

Oh. Sorry about that. no one in their right mind picks McNeil over Saka. Two lads on different career paths, as is already obvious to see. To be fair, I do agree with you on this bit. As you’ve said, McNeil had a great game yesterday and Saka was really poor today. No doubt that missed pen at the E...

To be fair, you only ever post the same 3 words, so it's not very hard to follow them.

But yes, I am flirting. Do you like it?

For some reason I just watched the 2nd half of Arsenal and Chelsea and to see a club of Arsenal's stature and tradition join an ever increasing number of also-rans in this league makes me wonder just where the game is heading. Expect the Super League to make a mark sooner than later. I'd be quite h...

ksrclaret

There we have it then. Norwich, Watford, and Arsenal will ply their trade in the Championship next season. They can't really have any complaints as they haven't been good enough over the course of the 180 minutes. I'd expect Arsenal to bounce back but the other two might need to do some soul searchi...

Watford conceded a goal or two yesterday so we just need to come up with another team to relegate this evening and we’re practically safe

Agreed but at present he doesn’t play on the opposite wing to McNeil

You might have had the good grace then to phrase your post about McNeil leaving with “I suspect” or “I reckon” rather than state it as fact.

Really very poor from you.

I hope you all realize if Cornet signs ,then McNeil will be on his way

Saints were massively under the cosh and it looked like there was only going to be one winner until Hassenhutl changed to 3 at the back. It’s been much more even since since that in-game management.

Food for thought.

ksrclaret

I'm thrilled McNeil had a good game. If he could string 4 or 5 together I would be happy - that would perhaps also mean some end product too, a goal or an assist, not just a few nice clips for MOTD. Mate, this is becoming as embarrassing as Hibsclaret’s agenda against Charlie Taylor was. Just appre...

ksrclaret

That would make much more sense - I just couldn’t see Saints letting Armstrong leave anytime soon, and the idea he’d go to the championship laughable.

I’d still be happy with us signing Christie though. Good player.

It’s on the sun online, apparently they are targeting Christie and will let Armstrong go as a result

Thanks, I’ll have a look.

I’d be absolutely delighted if we signed him. He’s an archetypal Dyche player, but with plenty of quality. Still can’t see it though.

ksrclaret

Apologies, Stuart Armstrong. Don’t know much about him other than he’s a midfielder for Southampton. Looks like he has played RM for the last couple of seasons I doubt very much that either of the two Sheffield clubs are in for Stuart Armstrong. He's been one of Southampton's best players for the l...

Brighton 2-0 Watford just before half time.

Brighton playing some good stuff and that Bissouma is a hell of a player for them.

ksrclaret

Whilst Will Hughes isn’t the flying winger with bags of pace many want, I think he’d be a really astute addition. He’s played the right midfield role in a 442 for Watford very successfully in the past, and I could see him moving into the centre long term. We absolutely cannot end the window with no ...

ksrclaret

Hope he has a fantastic season for Weds. He's certainly made a great start - their fans have described him as immense so far, and they hope they have the option to buy.

His penalty save is well worth a watch if you get chance.

ksrclaret

We were fine today overall, but we were fine last week for 60 minutes too before we ran out of legs and had no help from the bench. That's the reality of this season. We'll play well for periods of the game, but other teams, including all those around us, have far deeper squads with which to refresh...

I think we all know that Klopp is one of the biggest bellends in football with his appalling fake teeth 3x too big for his gob and his histrionics to court the camera. I think we also know that the style of football we play is disliked by everyone else in the PL because the other 19 teams play in a ...

McNeil really is a fabulous player. Our best by a mile. To think of the criticism he took last week.
