We need to come away with something, let's hope that it's three points.

I'm not expecting much tbh but we have to put in a proper Burnley performance today like we saw for most of last season. Last season I would have been confident of at least a point

That's because we don't have a bottomless pit of money like the majority of the Premier League have. Throw 90k a week at players and we'd have players with more technique. It is what it is. Wolves are reportedly paying their new signings close to 100k a week. It's like editing the player ratings on Championship Manager.

Good reason Bardsley is in defense

Sorry I don’t buy the finance excise anymore. We are one of the richest clubs in world football. It’s the players we target.

We have the least technical players in the division by some distance

It doesn't work like that. We get the TV money like every other Premier League club gets. But 120 million or whatever it is, is peanuts to a lot of the chairmen. It's down the back of the sofa stuff. Our board don't have the finances that the rest of the Premier League have. They can throw 100 million at players in a season no problem. We have to think about the possibility of going down and losing the TV money. Other clubs like Wolves don't need to plan for that.

A massive difference.

stupid booking for Bardsley

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Sun Sep 16, 2018 2:00 pm

Look at the costs of this:
12 players at £80,000 pw
12 players at £50,000 pw
Management and coaching staff

That's most of the TV money spent.

Holy crap. How we are not behind here I do not know. Joe Hart saving our ass.

We do look outclassed here.

Bloody 'ell.
We're being battered.

Good stuff, Joe!

Right_winger · Post by **Right_winger** » Sun Sep 16, 2018 2:03 pm

It’s gone wrong because we cannot keep a hold of the ball. It’s like there’s a couple of divisions difference in quality here.

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sun Sep 16, 2018 2:04 pm

Looks a matter of when, not if they'll score. Hart having an excellent game. I would get Bardsley off, has red card written allover him today. Would like to see Vydra sooner than later. Lack of pace is all too clear to see going forward and the Wolves defenders seem comfortable with Barnes/Vokes and the long ball.

SGr · Post by **SGr** » Sun Sep 16, 2018 2:04 pm

We’re appalling.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Sun Sep 16, 2018 2:06 pm

It’s like we’ve forgotten that last season ever happened and have gone back to playing like we did in 2016/17.

If it wasn’t for Hart we’d have lost this game already.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Sep 16, 2018 2:07 pm

Vydra on at half time. Somebody who can play a bit.

expoultryboy · Post by **expoultryboy** » Sun Sep 16, 2018 2:07 pm

Watching in the English inn in Sorrento . Lennon needs to give bardsley a lot more support

Right_winger · Post by **Right_winger** » Sun Sep 16, 2018 2:08 pm

Would be very surprised if we end the game with 11. We are so far behind them that we have to give fouls away.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sun Sep 16, 2018 2:10 pm

I love Barnes but his falling over isn't working today, we've not had a single set piece so far. He needs to stay on his feet and try and hold the ball up

icu81b4 · Post by **icu81b4** » Sun Sep 16, 2018 2:11 pm

I'd settle for a draw now

Is Vokes injured? Genuinely looks 10 yards of the pace.

I would have settled for a draw before kickoff. No surprises so far.

I heard he took a knock and wasn't dropped.

SGR is spot on. It’s like playing with 10 men when Lennon is on the pitch
