Vokes in Garth Crooks' team of the week

Post by MiltonKeynesClaret93 » Mon May 08, 2017 11:07 am

And deservedly so. He was superb I thought.
Taken from the article:

''Congratulations to Burnley, who have survived another season in the Premier League. To have amassed 40 points with two games to play is an amazing team effort by Sean Dyche and his boys.

The only way to guarantee survival is to score goals and Dyche has shown great faith in Sam Vokes and Ashley Barnes. Both have taken time to acclimatise to top-flight football but look the real deal in the fortress that Turf Moor has become.

Against West Brom, who have not given up on producing a record Premier League points tally, Vokes looked as sharp as I have seen him, which would also account for his first brace in the big time.

What Burnley have done is provide teams coming up into the Premier League with a template for survival. Which is, if you get relegated don't sack your manager, keep your players, add one or two more to your squad and retain the same regime that got you promotion in the first place. Brighton take note.''

'...if you get relegated don't sack your manager, keep your players...'

We didn't keep Ings, Trippier or Shackell! :?

That is an amazing piece.

Other than what claretblue points out, that is the most accurate and articulate statement that GC has EVER made. Wonder who he got to write it for him???
