What we ended up was a side fighting to survive and having to resort to the backs to the wall and boot it up to two big men style that we used successively to stay up the first time

That to me was a step backwards born out of two poor transfer windows. If we dont get a good centre midfielder I think we've stalled again and will spend another season just trying to keep 3 teams below us.

Luckily we have a manager who gets so much out of the players he's got he covers over the cracks from our recent poor recruitment and I think he will keep us up again. That said after the freakish season of coming 7th I feel the club missed a good opportunity to build on it

Finally regardless of the above comments the fact that we are even competing in this league is a miracle and something I am very thankful and appreciative of but that doesnt mean we cant criticise and highlight things we feel could improve us

Steve-Harpers-perm wrote:Agree we definitely need a midfielder and I’ll be disappointed if we don’t bring one in this week which we’ll probably have to break our record for and recruitment seems to be a continued problem from the outside.

Considering the start to last season the way we finished was amazing. Agree we’d all like to see more free flowing football but some posters on here give Dyche absolutely zero credit for example out 7th place finish was a ‘fluke’. They’ll have been similar Stoke, West Brom, Charlton fans demanding better football and reaching the ‘next level’ after a few years in the top flight.

Devils_Advocate wrote:I dont disagree and without doubt there's a balance between the more extreme and over the top views of both sides but messageboards by their nature bring those more extreme views to the forefront

I was trying to articulate that there's a reasonable school of thought around progression from coming 7th that didn't mean getting into the top 6 and didn't mean becoming the next Portsmouth or Bolton and that just maybe we didnt build on it as good as we could have done

I like focus on the areas I think we can do better because thats what matters more to me but Im forever labeled as negative or a moaner or even a troll which dissuades me from trying to have sensible discussion about Burnely on here

dsr wrote:The reason you are sometimes looked on as a moaner and a troll is because sometimes you take your persona as "Devil's advocate" to mean that you will oppose the majority just for the sake of it. That isn't what a Devil's Advocate does - specifically, he makes the rational arguments against the prospective Pope (not Nick!) so that cardinals minded to vote for him can know that their reasons have been tested. The Devil's Advocate doesn't just say "he is popular, so I'm against" - he has to have valid reasons. So often you appear to oppose just for the sake of it.

And because some of your posts are obvious wind-ups, then the rest of them come under suspicion too.
