Lancashire Live and Vydra

[Gordaleman]

Lancashire Live's view of Vydra.



Matej Vydra got 12 minutes off the bench against the Canaries and his chances of a run of starts once again seem remote.

That week in February where he inspired victory at Southampton and starred against Bournemouth seems a while ago.

But the frontman still has plenty to offer and he showed that off the bench at Carrow Road. He offers a different threat, is able to run in behind and has a skill set unique in the Clarets frontline.

He’s showed he has a role to play for Burnley going forward.

But, while he might not want it, Vydra could fashion himself an impact sub niche. The question is how much of a chance we will he be given by the manager to impact a game.




There must be defences in the PL that could be exploited by Vydra's pace. I think Norwich's was one of them and he ran them ragged when he came on 12 minutes from the end. Surely he would have had at least a couple of goals, or assists had he started? Maybe that would be a way of getting the most out of him, instead of just relying on Wood and set pieces. He's certainly exciting to watch and he works well in tandem with Jay.

What happens when Barnes is fully fit again?

What happens when Barnes is fully fit again?

Good question, but if as expected, we have five subs next season. there will be plenty of chance for all four strikers to contribute.

Personally, I hope it doesn't happen.

Heaven help us - are we really giving that rag the spotlight with a thread title?

That’s better than the rag referenced here

But for those of us who have no knowledge of the local press this appears a reasonable article appraisal.

I've recently just learned that one of the chaps (the one that sounds like he has a golf ball lodged in the back of his throat) who is at the pre match press conferences, is from that Lancashire Live.

Dyche has disliked him for ages, been right off with him in the past.

[Vegas Claret]

I've never heard of said literature provider but they are spot on about Vydra

[Grumps]

Nothing wrong with it, good coverage of burnley from a local journalist
Why do you dislike it so much
Far better coverage than other local papers

Anyone watched the Brighton pre match conference?

It's all there, proper off with (Alex James?) him at the start.

Something's gone on at sometime.

Lancs Live are often more specualative with their stories re transfers etc for hits, whereas journos like Boden are (understandably) more cautious in their reporting, so Dyche will trust them more. I doubt it's anything more than that.

As we know Dyche doesn't do internet reading, so it must be more Bentley's influence.

He doesn't but he strikes me as somebody who'll want to be kept informed as to what reporters are saying, by DB and others. SD's media savvy has been evident from day one and a big emphasis will be on who to trust.

No doubt you are correct in what you've said, but I just find it a little disrespectful in the way Dyche answers him, for someone who has old school values of respect.

It's been going on for ages, it's not like the guy from Lancs Live asks out of left field awful questions (even though he has an awful voice).

Dyche's manner changes when he asks a question and it's noticeable, and a little cringey.

He certainly gave him short shrift. Who are Lancs Live affiliated to?

Boden and his Mrs are so far up Bentleys backside they only tell what the club want them to. Mr Boden is under threat of losing his cosy one to one telephone chats with dyche should he ever go off piste
I've no problem with lancs live, they always have the post match reaction from the managers before anyone else.
Despite asking several times, those that hate it so much have failed to say why they do. To me it's a good source of all things BFC.

Vydra could start today. Brighton generally play three big donkeys at the back, who are good at clearing crosses, but no so great turning on the deck.

He probably could start today, but he'd have nobody to pass to

Odds on to score a hat full if he starts today.

[timshorts]

Bollocjs. I thought there was football today.

At least there'd be an excuse for Wood being offside.

[bobinho]

Seems to me Lamcashire lives view of Vydra is absolutely spot on, so the short shrift they get here must be for some other reason.

Sure they may have reported things wrongly in the past, but there’s nowt wrong with what they have said in that article.

[jrgbfc]

Was crying out for him to be on sooner at Norwich last week.

[claretandy]

Dyche definitely doesn't like this Alex James fella, his all tone shifts when he starts asking questions.

[Buxtonclaret]

Agree about Vyd being on against Brighton.
They aren't the quickest at the back.
I'd personally like to see him start.

Unless I've missed it, they are the only outlet reporting what's happening with the under 21 Cup next season.

My mistake.... The football league trophy

Nothing to report on it, the league haven't even announced plans for it next season as yet.

Apparently we've made the decision not to enter... Perhaps you know different?

As said, no info on it from the league, no invites gone out, so no decision made. All that's happened is that the club, through Jon Pepper, revealed that it might not be immediate that we enter. That was said on the day we announced we'd got Cat 1.

I still haven't seen it reported elsewhere, but like I said, I might have missed it

Are you able to say why you dislike the site so much?

It was referenced by the club and they've picked up on it again. There is nothing to report in any case.

The publication is from a company called Reach who own a lot of local newspapers that they have completely ruined, such as the Birmingham Mail, Nottingham Mail, Chronicle (Newcastle), Huddersfield Examiner, Sentinel (Stoke), Hull Daily Mail. These were good quality but they've been taken down the click bait route by Reach, regurgitating the same story time and again with different headlines to get them on the news feeds. It's a sad state of affairs but it is all about clicks on a website, nothing more, nothing less.

I don't know anything about reach, but to be honest all local papers have gone downhill, including the local ones in Lancashire.
I don't know what the official definition of click bait is, but to me it's either a misleading headline that makes you click on it, and it's not what you were expecting, or something that takes you to a site that requires payment.
I only read things on lancs live that are linked from twitter, I've always found them to be as described, and the match day coverage is normally very good and up to date, I don't know about other subjects covered on the site, but the BFC related articles, in my opinion are very good, and a little different from the club driven stories in the burnley express..... As for the telegraph, no comment required.

[burnmark]

No issue with Lancs Live either. Just watched the interview and thought Dyche was in good spirits with the reporter in this particular instance using his ‘Dyche Bants’ (I hate using that word!) I have noticed a change in tone with him previously though.
