Re: Lennon
Whilst results earlier in the season may suggest otherwise, I strongly believe that we missed his defensive qualities. He was excellent for us in the back half of last season and I’m convinced that he would have been just as good, if not better, this time around. Each to their own though. I’m convinced though that many Burnley fans were expecting us to sign a flying wing when Lennon stepped into the building.

Re: Lennon
We have enough defensive minded players though, the difference McNeil has made has been incredible -picks the ball up and off he goes, gives the defence a breather and he still defends too. No comparison in terms of assists and goals either.

Re: Lennon
Not missed him at all without him getting injured we wouldn’t have seen McNeil make the fantastic impact he has. Hopefully one to be moving on in the summer.

Re: Lennon
I can think of a few games recently when we have missed him, actually - when JBG has been injured/ineffective and we've needed someone to add a bit of extra threat down the right hand side.theroyaldyche wrote:Hed be good iff the bench
I suspect his days of being a regular starter for us are probably done, but he still has his pace and that gives us a different option which I'd probably be pretty keen to keep in the squad next season, and might yet come in handy if he's fit for the last few games of the season.
He's not pulled up trees in his time here, but in fairness his strength has always been his pace allied with a good touch and good movement. That really requires someone to have the guile and craft to pick out his runs and execute the pass, which has not really been the strong point of our midfield in the 12 months for which he was fit to play for us - 12 months that coincided with Defour's lay off and before the emergence of McNeil.

Re: Lennon
Lennon was pheonomenal against bournemouth at home. Wouldnt have minded more of the same this week. Equally he was excellent defensively at spurs. Which like it or not is part of his game here.
The squad is certainly stronger with him around. Very good option underrated by many on here.
One thing that does frustrate is how we dont leave him on halfway when defending corners.

So far it looks like Lennon’s Injury has been the turning point of the season. If he’d stayed in the team, despite his many good qualities, we would likely have been in a far worse position

Re: Lennon
Just read an interesting piece by SD where he says that he gave McNeil his chance after we had played 19 games and won a total of only 12 points. Since then we have played a further 13 games and won 21 points. McNeil has been an ever present. That sounds pretty positive to me.

Sorry but nothing Dyche has done in his 6 years suggests that he would throw an unproven kid like McNeil in over an experienced pro like Lennon.

Re: Lennon
Hopefully he comes back fit next year if he stays with us.
Coming off the bench trying to make things happen might let him affect the game more.
At the moment it hasn't worked out that well for him and he takes a high wage compared to others.

McNiel is an outstanding young player. If Lennon would’ve stayed fit he’d have still come through this year, though arguably would’ve played less minutes.

He may have got a place on bench but he would not have had the same minutes on the pitch. If Lennon had stayed fit he would have been put on left wing with Hendrick and JBG fighting it out on the right.ClaretTony wrote:Don't agree with that at all, McNeil would have got in regardless.

Re: Lennon
Lennon is incredibly hit and miss for me. He can be brilliant or anonymous, there doesn't seem to be any middle ground with him. I Agree that he is a good option to have on the bench, but I think JBG should always start ahead of him and now Hendrick has made a decent shout for the same flank, although he adds something very different.

Re: Lennon
If he was encouraged to play a more offensive role, I reckon he could do a job for us. Unfortunately, that's not the case so get rid and sign a second left back to play in his position because that's what the lad is being asked to play.

Re: Lennon
FCBurnley should stop playing Mind Games if he doesn't want Instant Karma to get him.
When Lennon comes back it'll be just like Starting Over again for him, and FCBurnley should just keep Watching the Wheels go round and round on the Claret juggernaut till then.

Re: Lennon
No way would Mcneil have featured anywhere near as much (if at all) if our other wingers had been fit. He was earmarked to go out on loan. I'm thankful he didn't.

Re: Lennon
Since Lennon got injured and McNeil got his chance, Dyche has changed his tactics.
Pre Liverpool at home we were extremely negative, since then we are have played more on the front foot.
The difference being down the left side with the introduction of McNeil and the shackles being removed from Taylor, who now plays to his strengths as an attacking wing back.
Lennon was never givin the opportunity to express himself they way McNeil has, Dyche always made him sit deep

Re: Lennon
I actually think a good amount of what TopClaret says is dead right, but I wonder if Lennon was actually told to play that way because he's pretty much wasting his time these days trying to go past PL defenders down the wing (a la McNeil) as to some extent he's lost what he once had 8 or 9 years back.
