Re: ARTICLE: It’s time to vote for a left-back
Another fairly obvious result here I think!
Ward will win (IMO) purely based on the fact that he did it (and did it so well that the LB position stopped being the target of the boo boys!) over a period of time. Taylor may end up being a better player but he has only really had this season and he’s taken time to ‘bed in’ and show his talent.
Roll on the centre back votes...that’ll give us some interesting voting with only two spots and at least three very good options!

How will the votes work for the central positions?
It would be great if the end result was a team of the last 10 years.

Re: ARTICLE: It’s time to vote for a left-back
Voted for Ward who was just superb for two and a half years.
However, am hoping in a season or two that Taylor will overtake him. It's a hard task but Taylor might just have the talent to do so, if he keeps improving.

Re: ARTICLE: It’s time to vote for a left-back
Quick question
Is the vote linked to IP address at all?
Its saying I've already voted but I haven't, so I'm wondering if there is another user from work that has already done it

Ward over a longer period but Taylors performances in the second half of the season were head and shoulders above anything Ward has done.

Oh, I don't know about that. Ward was perfect for about three years, though I agree Taylor is going to be a better player.AndyClaret wrote:Ward over a longer period but Taylors performances in the second half of the season were head and shoulders above anything Ward has done.

Re: ARTICLE: It’s time to vote for a left-back
If this vote was 2 years hence Taylor would edge it if he keeps progressing,but it's not and Wardy has to be the pick purely for the consistency and longevity.

Do you seriously believe that? Taylor is improving considerably but still some way behind what Ward has given us.AndyClaret wrote:Ward over a longer period but Taylors performances in the second half of the season were head and shoulders above anything Ward has done.

Who in gods name voted for Sheena? one of the worst players ever to wear a Burnley shirt.
Re: ARTICLE: It’s time to vote for a left-back
Had to go for Ward, but do have a feeling that in another couple of years Taylor could be considered a no-brainer over Ward.
However the centre-halves issue could be a different story. Surely Keane and Tarkowski are hands down our best central defenders over the last 10 years... but I'm not sure I could bring myself to not vote for Mee.

Re: ARTICLE: It’s time to vote for a left-back
The fact that Ward couldn't even get on the bench to challenge Taylor (because Taylor was performing so well) tells you how good Taylor was, BTW i think Ward was top class, and i'm not trying to do him down, just saying if Taylor carries on his upward trajectory then he will be an England international before long.ClaretTony wrote:Do you seriously believe that?

Re: ARTICLE: It’s time to vote for a left-back
Wasn’t on the bench when fit for a lot of games because 1) Taylor was playing well and 2) Ward was leaving at the end of the season.AndyClaret wrote:The fact that Ward couldn't even get on the bench to challenge Taylor (because Taylor was performing so well) tells you how good Taylor was, BTW i think Ward was top class, and i'm not trying to do him down, just saying if Taylor carries on his upward trajectory then he will be an England international before long.
Ward is in the top three left backs I’ve ever seen at Burnley alongside Elder & Newton. If Taylor proves to be as good as Ward then we’ve got another outstanding left back in the making.

Re: ARTICLE: It’s time to vote for a left-back
I said when Taylor signed that one day he would play for England. I still stand by that comment. He hasn't featured enough to warrant the best left back of the last 10 years but in a season or 2 he will prove to be undoubtedly our best left back of a generation.
Re: ARTICLE: It’s time to vote for a left-back
Who the chuff is voting for Easton!
Ward is the best by a long, long way.

Has to b Ward.
He's put in some superb (and important) performances.
But given time, Charlie is going to be up there with him.

Whens Taylor contracted to?
( I dont want a link to the contract section as on my phone, I only get half of the tables where its contracts, results, fixtures etc )

Here's a question: when we have finished voting for the team, will we be voting for the best manager of the last ten years? Coyle, Laws, Howe, Dyche?

Could any of our previous had to sell to balance the books and have only free transfers for their first full season in charge and get into the big time-if only for a season?
