+ Jay, JBG - though JBG and it's rumoured Brownhill have a years option

Doubt the options will be taken, they'll all be gone I reckon, kompany doesn't really want player's from the dyche era at the club, he'll take the opportunity to clear these out this summer I expect.

Nobody currently at the club has Tellas killer instinct, including Foster. We are desperate for a marksman. That's what we are missing so badly, was summed up on motd, lack real conviction and killer instinct, had chances yesterday but failed to hit the back of the net, Odobert and Larsen were the ...

I’ll third that. O’Shea was especially dishing out a bollocking yesterday.

Wasting your breath. People seem to remember football's a team game when it suits, people took a while to get used to Muric last year (myself included, he was scary early doors) but that was a new system, the same people who understood and defended that system then suddenly have amnesia as to how i...

It worked last season, yes it hasn't this season, but will no doubt work again next season, I'd be more worried if he said he was moving away from the tried and tested next season. I await next season with bated breath, because if we go into it with this same philosophy and set up we'll be way off....

Andy Townsend, Dean Saunders, Darren Bent, Danny Murphy Jamie O’Hara et.al. Yes these are all on Talksport which is not really a respected radio station for the highbrow elite on here. However, all of them have said our goalkeeper is not up to scratch on several occasions. Think it's fair to say we...

So he's taking us to the bottom of league 3....wow, just wow. "Read the articles" he's quotes, words, statements, and determination not to change something that's clearly not working, and to read he's thinking of he's vision of the way forward is just mind-boggling to say the least, to get to a poi...

alwaysaclaret

I've just read 2 articles in the Burnley express and vk has no intensions of changing anything tomorrow, surely pace and co can't continue into next season with this philosophy, or we could soon be discussing games of an orient proportion. Worrying time's imo looking at vk's summing up of the way to...

alwaysaclaret

We aren’t going down because of our keeper - it’s because we can’t score goals or pass accurately Right from the very start of the season Trafford has been a huge contributing factor to the uncertainty and lack of confidence at the back, and Muric was instrumental last season to our threat going fo...

alwaysaclaret

It doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. I know I will get shot down for saying this, but as a conservative estimate, Trafford has cost us between 6 and 9 points this season with his weak goalkeeping. Trafford lovers will be on shortly to say how many games he has kept us in with his “worldly” saves t...

alwaysaclaret

Mee was excellent for us. But saying he was better than Tarkowski is stretching it somewhat. Both had their own qualities, and obviously complimented each other, Ben was more of an unsung hero, possibly it was tarkowski's imposing stature that caught people's eye, but Ben literally put he's body on...

alwaysaclaret

I've said the same myself. Hindsight is a wonderful thing though. Had we started the season with Muric and BPF I suspect it would have been questioned. However, £19m on Trafford will go down as the most disastrous signing in our history. Any thought that City will buy him back is nonsensical - he's...

Which boxes has Trafford ticked this season?

Plenty, but there all major factors of why he shouldn't be playing every week.

alwaysaclaret

I have no idea how many can, but it's clearly not being seen as a major factor in selection. Still, for the record, I am a massive Muric fan. I just think he's not ticking the relevant boxes. There's no better box to tick than vk saw with he's own eye's from around 10 games into last season, I'm no...

alwaysaclaret

I used to think at times that Tarks and Keane were better defenders than Mee because they were a little more composed on the ball. I couldn't have been more wrong. IMHO Mee is without doubt the best defender I have seen play for us in about 45-50 years of following the Clarets. He had great positio...

alwaysaclaret

Superjohnny, I think we need two new goalkeepers. I'd keep Trafford as what you might call an apprentice. I'm absolutely clueless as to why vk can't see it, but muric is very close to being the best keeper that he's likely to manage in he's managerial career imo, had he been backed in the same way ...

I must be reading this wrong but some replies are reading like "I don't care if we lose so long as my favourite payers play" It's about attempting to get a result by giving a chance to players that haven't had a fair chance this season after 3 wins in 26 games, so why not try something different by...

He needs a loan somewhere else but VK ‘s stubbornness is killing him. Just play Muric it’s easier. Seems VK is just trying to prove a point now and failing quite badly really. If we had a strong chairman I’m sure this would have ended months ago. Seems no one can upset his ego or challenge him. Thi...

That’s your idea of supporting your team?

I've already posted again about that matter if you have a look. I've supported my team for almost 60 years and will continue to do so, although this manager atm is not making things easy in that respect.

alwaysaclaret

I disagree He clearly does want to learn, that's probably why he came to Burnley in the Championship, expecting to be in that division for 2 or 3 seasons minimum And he has made changes, last season and this. Last season he took Barnes off at half time against Sunderland. He then brought Barnes bac...

Only way Trafford is not playing is if he is injured. VK is far too stubborn to change now. Pathetic really. The fans have to really start showing displeasure to let him know he’s getting it wrong I would imagine. Need the cfs to start a muric chant, send it round the stadium and keep it going for ...

alwaysaclaret

I think we need to start solider And Benson & Odebert need to come off the bench around the hour mark As do the likes of Massengo for Cork It's a kind of build from the back, but defend from the front, in other words all got to put a shift in, but has to be organised so as lots have said, we need a...

alwaysaclaret

Yep I agree with you Pal, Trafford was signed to play And whether it’s a clause in the contract agreed or just a bit of bad management is the only question unanswered He started the season poorly has only improved in his shot stopping but in all other departments is poor, he is still too weak, espe...

Quite honestly, I just don't care any more. Kompany has brought in about 30 players since he arrived and spent more money in the process than any previous manager. If, after that, he can't find eleven players to us out of the bottom three, he deserves to go. Whether or not the club can afford to sa...

As far as "I made something up and reported it as fact then doubled down when challenged" posts go, this takes some beating.

"Made something up" ???????
"Challenged" ??????????
I've made nothing up, that's my belief of why muric didn't start the season, simple as that.

alwaysaclaret

They had 2 pre-season matches each. Muric was top quality in his two and Trafford made mistakes in both of his. I was stunned when Trafford got the nod for the City game. And so was I, but I honestly don't believe that came into vk's thinking, he's mind was already made up by then, that's why he br...

alwaysaclaret

My point is that it isn’t “how it seems”. For that to be the case, Muric would have to have played, and made the similar mistakes you state he has. Neither of those two things have happened. Look, I'm in the muric in camp, and the only thing I can assume is that muric didn't start the season as he ...

I’m interested to hear more of the “Muric isnt in the team because of similar mistakes” tale….I’m just wondering where that’s come from? Can’t imagine VK saying that, if he has, I’ve missed it.

Didn't say he'd said it, but that's how it seems. Why else would it be.

alwaysaclaret

Obviously too early for a prediction on the starting 11 but listening to kompanys interview's and looking at the way he held he's hands up and he's face told a tale. For the first time maybe he realises it can't go on, relegation or not. Given Brownhill's 1 game absence, he's out of the equation, Ra...

Lots of derogatory comments flying around yesterday aimed at VK and our players. Its just a game of football, we are going through a tough time and we need to get behind the team, There are still 11 game left and 33 points- we can still do this. UTC. P.s stop being so negative. I'll still be there ...

Not enough, next season won't be anything like the last time we were in the championship.

I can believe city’s clause and also that Kompany has skin in the game for development of players and commission on deals where he generates a profit. I don’t think any of these concepts are new.

Not saying that Muric plays a worldy pass in the exact same set of circumstances as yesterday, but Muric has exceptional vision and allows us to get out of the oppositions press through finding the space. Trafford plays simple passes into either centre half or Brownhill. Palace and Lerma knew this....

It's probably in keeping with everything else that's going on at the moment. It's perceived in some circles as 1 big joke & it shouldn't come as any real shock to anybody if people laugh or smile. The place is turning into a circus.

This is also where I’m at now. Very strange strategy in the summer that has completely backfired. However, I’d be inclined to stick with him next season and give him the chance to prove he’s learnt from his mistakes this season.

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. Biggest problem is we have a team full of them, other Premier ...
