To be fair CT i think you was in the minority in thinking Hendrick played well as a number 10, and i think you also said something around it was not his natural position and therefore should not be judged on it? However I do think the team is better when Hendrick is in it, and i think its the second ball retention.
I don’t think you can determine whether I’m in the minority or the majority and I don’t ever recall suggesting it wasn’t his natural position. In fact I liked him playing in that role in that team two years ago.

Hendrick at the 10 worked out well because we had a magnificent midfield pairing of a fit Steven Defour and Cork from two years ago, who has only regressed since then. It wouldn’t work now. Once Defour was injured the 4-5-1 went away.

Just out of interest if/when you get rid of Vydra and Rodriguez who are you looking at to replace them? I'm just taking a more pragmatic view on the situation you might create.
It's a good question because I doubt anyone better would be affordable/come here.

I thought we played better football with Hendrick in that advanced position, admittedly it was always better when Defour played.

Strange one, but I suspect he is not happy one little bit about the lack of playing time he's had. Hopefully with Barnes not 100% he should get that game time, and hopefully keep hold of the shirt.
I think players recognise that they all can't start, that's why we have subs each week.

There must be 5 threads on here about players who must want to leave as they don't play each week. It never really seemed to be a problem before, now it's the hot topic. I'd imagine Jay as a professional is quite happy at Burnley.

I just waiting for the Kevin Long one they we will have a full set.

If he Hendrick did such a good job why isn't he still playing there? If he was that good then why has Dyche dropped him from that role?
We had Defour playing well at that time & Brady.......that was our heyday.
Pretty much ended with Brady's injury at Leicester, but we were playing some really good football.

Totally agree, if Barnes is carrying an injury, he shouldn't be playing - it doesn't help his recovery, and he's definitely not helping the team.

And it really does look like he is carrying an injury.

Wouldn’t blame JR for being a bit frustrated but he is getting some game time and this could be a good chance to win the shirt. He adds a little extra to the forward line . Tricky if no Wood or Barnes as surely Jeff behind JR and Lennon out wide will be the only real option and Jeff ain’t no no 10 unless cushioned with Defour like quality

Pretty obvious why he doesn't start every week. The partnership with Barnes and Wood has been very, very effective. We've struggled a bit recently and I think that's down to the injury Barnes has.
Sorry CT much as I respect your opinion, it's not pretty obvious to me why JayRod doesn't play every week. Potentially, given time, the best pairing up front, should Dyche insist on playing 4-4-2 is Wood and JayRod. Makes us less predictable, and JR runs the channels better than Barnes and lets be frank he's a far better footballer. JR can also come deep and if needs be he'd be a far better no10 than heaven forbid Hendrick ever was likely to be.

It's obvious because until recently the Barnes/Wood partnership has been fantastic for us, averaging just about a goal per game.
