Was talk of Liverpool, can see this being his last season with Brighton.

Newcastle, Palace, Brighton, Watford, Norwich, Southampton and Brentford

Basically we're in a mini league with the clubs you've just listed. The thing that worries me a bit is our home form recently. Last season off the top of my head we only beat Sheff U of the team's around us.

jrgbfc

Understand your point but Jermaine Beckford, who apparently knows him well and he went into detail about it today. Says he wanted to play more centrally. Even Brendan Rodgers who is known for giving youngsters a chance got fed up with him. Which suggests a disruptive character. Maybe he suits a cen...

Wish I went to Barlick today, must have been a great game.

jrgbfc

Pretty sure we won’t be competing with Everton on wages! We could have been in for him when he left Leicester to go to Germany. Show a bit of imagination, Jarrod Bowen had been banging goals in for about 18 months before West Ham took a chance on him. We seem to sit twiddling our thumbs then compla...

Demari Gray having another good game for Everton today. Can't believe we weren't in for this lad when he was available for absolute peanuts.

jrgbfc

Think it's time for him to shave his head. The comb over isn't fooling anyone.

jrgbfc

Colne away at Trafford, looking for first win of the season.

jrgbfc

Teams might be wary of loaning us players with our track record of not using them. Bamford and Chalobah came from Chelsea and barely got a kick.

jrgbfc

Yeah, the lack of interest in our first away game for 18 months isn't good.

jrgbfc

Hameed to open and Malan in at 3 then by the looks of it.

jrgbfc

Maybe Benson made it clear he wanted to go and play first team football rather than be a squad man at Burnley and play 3 games a year? Fair play to him if so.

jrgbfc

Taking set pieces greatly skews Westwood's stats for assists. I'd say Cork is a far better passer of the ball.

jrgbfc

I'd give it a miss Lenny, forecast is looking grim for Sunday.

jrgbfc

Sign him on!

jrgbfc

If Root couldn't work it out surely Jimmy with all his experience should have had a word in his ear? Or did he lose his head as well after receiving some short stuff on Saturday evening?

jrgbfc

What the does Young have to do with anything, anymore? He was a player our manager thought would be valuable, he signed for Villa. What is left to debate? The under 30thing some folk to obsess on is a complete irrelevance to building a team for this season. A thirty something is not necessarily ove...

jrgbfc

I wouldn't read too much into it. People are obviously going to vent their frustrations after a defeat. I was annoyed last night but it's done with now. As Rileybobs pointed out if we'd have been in League 2 and had a big win everybody would be buzzing, that's just the way it is. As fans it's hard t...

jrgbfc

Pro can't do it all Lenny! If the amateurs chipped in another 20 runs between them we'd have won yesterday.

Haasbroek?

Naughty! I recall some Worsley cup finals Burnley basically fielding half a team of professionals.

jrgbfc

Who have Lowerhouse got as sub pro?

jrgbfc

Would our older players have the legs/desire for a hard slog in the Championship though?

jrgbfc

The novelty of being in the top flight has worn off now. Simply aiming to finish 17th and hoping there's three worse teams doesn't exactly fill you with much excitement for a new season either.

Pope
Tarks
Mee
Wood
Taylor

are quite some way ahead in importance

But apart from set pieces McNeil is basically our only attacking threat, and one player who might create something in open play.

jrgbfc

I assumed it was just rain. BTW who have House got as sub pro tomorrow?

jrgbfc

If I were him I'd be looking to move on. He isn't going to improve anymore playing in our setup.

jrgbfc

Or he's surrounded by workhorses and has to spend most of the game defending. Put him in a better team and he'd look a different player.

jrgbfc

About 17/18k I'd guess.

jrgbfc

He isn't even a nuisance anymore.

jrgbfc

Ashley Barnes signed an extension to his contract to the end of the 2022 playing season saying he wanted to see out his playing days at Turf Moor. I am sure Ashley will be here for a while yet given how Dyche is loyal to his core group. He needs moving on this summer, whether his contact is up or n...

jrgbfc

I'm fancying Jay for a much improved season this time. Thought he was poor last year, couldn't quite get going somehow.

jrgbfc

What a shocking draw.

jrgbfc

I don’t think the 90% of the home crowd that sit in the same stand every game needs a colour code As for attracting tourists to Turf Moor, good luck with that Plenty of tourists/foreign accents about on Harry Potts way before a game these days. Obviously covid makes travel a lot harder for now, but...

jrgbfc

Not sure carrying 3 right backs in the squad all on good money is the best use of our limited budget. As well as Collins who can cover there.

What time is the draw?

After tonight's game so about 10pm I'd guess.

jrgbfc

I wonder how Tarkowski must be feeling as everyone who needs a centre half are ignoring him, perhaps waiting until next season when they can get him on a free If he waits till next summer he'll probably have a few decent options to pick from, and get a big signing on fee. Only risk is if he picks u...

jrgbfc

Just wait till Sunday, it won't sell out.

jrgbfc

Do you think the new owners are trying to take everything online Tony, or is it just to do with the short timeframe?

jrgbfc

Standing outside the Park view with a pint just soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the feeling of being in a crowd again.

jrgbfc

Brewster is finally off the mark for Sheff U. Must have felt good!

Also what’s the cricket club like pre match?

Tends to be where the away fans go. Still plenty of Burnley fans in though. As long as it's dry it's a decent spot.

jrgbfc

Wouldn't argue with your top 4, although I think Chelsea in particular and United will push City a lot closer this time. Europa League will be between the usual suspects of Leicester, Spurs and Arsenal and I think Leeds will be really pushing for the top 7 this year. Relegation places will come down...

If you just want quick and easy the Wetherspoons across from McDonald's is still there.

Set off to Stoke once and never made it due to problems on the M6. Think it was the promotion season under Ternent when Payton scored.

jrgbfc

You "claimed" they stopped going 2-3 years ago, now it is because we are just making up the numbers ? So when we finished 7th these neighbours gave up, they didn't bother when we came 10th either but would probably return in the championship as we would be competing :D Be honest the conversation wi...

What a daft thing to suggest just because someone expresses an opinion you disagree with.

Some people seem to think being a supporter means you have to just blindly agree with everything the club or manager does.

jrgbfc

But what’s the point competing for a prize you don’t want (I.e. the Premier League). That's a good question. The money situation means we're effectively just playing to survive every season. I personally can't get excited by the prospect of a relegation battle every year, plenty of people are quite...

jrgbfc

Think it is fair to say the club won't be expecting someone who vanished during the Premier League days and won't pay £60 - £70 for 2 tickets in that division to be rushing back following relegation to the championship. Maybe some people would rather watch us in a league we can actually compete in,...

What dates will the games be played? I always rely on this and the FA cup for potential ground ticks. I'm away down south for 10 days, I was hoping for a rank bad team from down south away so I could go, but the north south split has dashed them hopes. Pretty sure it's the week beginning Monday 23r...

If your neighbour doesn't want to shell out the going rate for Prem football then it's probably not for him these days. Probably. But in a few years time when we're back to scratching around at the bottom of the Championship and all the tourists/day trippers are long gone the club will be wondering...
