Time to offload JBG
Awful yesterday didn't look intetested and looked scared to put a tackle in.
In a team like Burnley playing how we play every single player must be commited to the cause and be prepared to put the body on the line.
Maybe he is scared of getting injured I don't know but if we got rid we could free up wages for a younger wide player who fits the system better(probably on less money)
Also his injury record as we all know is very bad. After so many injuries you are never going to be able to be 100% every game and that's what's needed in a team like ours.
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think we should let Johan go. I also do think he is a gifted footballer but doesn't fit Burnley and Dyche.

Re: Time to offload JBG
Definitely keep him.
Unfortunate with injuries lately but I don’t think he’s been like that for the rest of his career.
I think he does fit Burnley and Dyche.

Over the past 3 seasons he has created more chances than others for our strikers
Hes not there to track back and tackle hes there to.open up tight defences
Hes been injured for most of this season and Ii for one am happy to see him back.

Re: Time to offload JBG
He still doesn't look fit to me, he needs a break and to come back hopefully fully fit for next season. Remember, this is the player who won our player of the year in 2017/18. I find it quite insulting of him to read that anyone could think he's not interested.

Re: Time to offload JBG
Any player who was “not interested” would be shipped out by SD....actually they would probably never start the game.
JBG is just a little low on confidence as any player would be with the injuries he has had this season. He’s also lacking in match sharpness / fitness.
Nobody will be more frustrated than JBG - however much of a concern it is for us fans just think how it is for him when his whole career could be on the line.

Re: Time to offload JBG
Personally thought he was our most creative and productive play in the first 20 minutes, but his level dropped significantly and it was no surprise to see him subbed. I like JBG, but stating the obvious, we need to keep him fit. The lad is seriously lacking game time and it showed. All things being equal he could be one of our key players.

As above. Dyche would never put up with anyone not interested.
He wont be our highest earner and comes up with moments of magic. I would definitely keep him but also look to improve on him.

Re: Time to offload JBG
Contributing on here in spite of the silliness of the OP just to say how great it is to see JBG and Brady getting back into contention.
Obviously they're both not at their peak fitness and don't have the razor sharpness we'd like but they're already showing glimpses of the flair and creativity they bring.
If we can get them both to full fitness it will lift the burden of creativity from Dwight and be a boost for the club.

Re: Time to offload JBG
If he could stay fit for a season, I think he is a great asset to have, whether as an impact sub or for 70mins or so from kick off. Mcneil was the woeful one yesterday, bit like an headless chicken running in circles and he is much better than that.
Re: Time to offload JBG
Love him as a player but need him fully fit and hopefully get him signed on a longer contract but hopefully another 1 or maybe 2 wingers due in this summer.
Re: Time to offload JBG
Make or break for him next season, along with Brady. Thought JBG contributed to a pretty lethargic performance yesterday. Although that team must be running on empty with plenty carrying knocks etc, so they can be forgiven

Re: Time to offload JBG
He didn't look like he trusted passing to Bardsley yesterday. Which is a big concern.
Bardsley over lapped him and was completely free in a great position but he turned his back on him and crossed it himself.
We need the full back/wideman combination to work

Re: Time to offload JBG
We definitely need some creativity in midfield next season, or at least some good technicians who can drive forward and take pressure off the defence. I shudder to think what would happen if Dwight got injured

Re: Time to offload JBG
I can sense the opening post's frustration and watching him in the last few games I so dearly wanted him to re-capture his form as I like him as a footballer. He has huge potential and I think a pre-season and run of games will see him being a threat again to any defense. His work rate is good and possibly the best crosser of a ball we have in terms of accuracy. Definitely one we need to keep. My biggest concern is we have 3 left footed wide men in a current active squad of 15 fit starters. A right sided pacey wide man is definitely a priority

Re: Time to offload JBG
I'm always more confident when he's on the pitch.
I hope a few weeks off can be the difference in him playing a few games before getting injured again, and playing the majority of games next season.

Re: Time to offload JBG
The only player who needs to be shown the door at the moment is Mr Gibson.
JBG just needs time to play his way into form, which he has done a few times before. Brady is a different issue, however, who needs games in his correct position. He certainly doesn't fit on the right.

Frustrating because he’s quality when on it - injuries are more and more frequent though. I don’t buy the disinterested assertions at all.

Re: Time to offload JBG
Our problem yesterday, and most weeks was not JBG but the lack of runners in to advance positions from mid field. The number of times we attacked and the only option was to sling it in to two big strikers with no one else near them. The reason we are more appealing when Vydra plays is because he makes those runs albeit from a more advanced position. Harsh to criticise JBG.

Re: Time to offload JBG
I agree that he has not looked fully fit. If we had more to choose from I think he may have been given longer to recover.

How many more breaks does he need.

Re: Time to offload JBG
I find the phrase (which crops up on here fairly regularly) 'free up wages' fairly odd. Free up for what exactly? Does anyone seriously believe for instance that we could get anyone anywhere near as good as JBG for less or even the same money? We are not, as a club, in anywhere near the position of losing quality players, however injury prone, just now. What we really need is to be ADDING to the wage bill by bringing in more players of decent quality to cover for injuries, bring pressure to bear on existing players etc. We don't need/can't get world class players but we have proved we don't need that, we just need players who have the required amount of skill and the attitiude that Dyche needs to get the most out of what we do have. JBG,by the way, is arguably one of the best players we have, albeit a bit unlucky with injuries, and to suggest it may be time for him to go is, to me, a tad wrong.

Re: Time to offload JBG
JBG'S biggest problem is staying fit, if he could get a run of games he's more than capable of playing a big part next season, blimey it was only last week he got an assist for heavens sake, i do think it's a make or break season for him next time though, he's ooc in 2021, and unless he shows that he's capable of stringing a good number of appearances together, then we might have to consider letting him go sadly.
When he and Brady are fit and on form they're more than worthy of a 1st team place, but neither have been fit much over the last few seasons alas.

Re: Time to offload JBG
Definitely need competition for places in midfield. If they were all fit now it would be McNeil/Cork/Westwood/Brownhill. All four have an off day for two games and its still the same four. Cannot think of one other PL side where there is no competition to get into the midfield. An ordinary side like Brighton yesterday had a number of options and used them fully. They even took off their first goal scorer at one point who had a great game

My worry is Brady, who looks way off the pace and almost disinterested - would like to see him used as a bargaining tool (sell or exchange) for another wide left player

Re: Time to offload JBG
Very generous of you. When match fit. He's our most consistent player on the right hand side. Bearing in mind he's been out injured and we're down to the bare bones. He was probably used earlier than SD would have liked. Match fitness is totally different to physical fitness. Give him a break. A few pre-season friendlies will help him iron that out considerably. In any case. It takes even the fit players a few competitive games to reach the level they'd like to be at. Hence why you see a few misplaced passes, sluggish performances and unusual results in early league games.TommyJohnson wrote: ↑Tue Jul 28, 2020 4:31 am

I'd be very worried if wide right wasn't deemed an urgent priority this window. I like JBG but we do need competition at the very least in that position. I sincerely hope SD isn't pinning his hopes on Brownhill playing on the right. He should be fighting for a midfield place, not pigeon holed into a position where, even though he's performed admirably; is not his best or favoured position.jojomk1 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 27, 2020 4:43 pmI see Brownhill and JBG as our preferences for wide right next season - don't forget this guy has also come in with some very important goals over the years

Re: Time to offload JBG
It would be very interesting to see how many goals have come from balls delivered from the left, as opposed to the right. I suspect it will be significantly more from the left. I can recall a number of assists coming from Dwights left foot, and Pieters has had a number of assists, particularly in the early season, then of course Taylor has chipped in with assists. I know JBG cut in with his left and delivered a pin point cross to Wood v Norwich, but I dont recall many more from the right. We have played Hendrick and Bardsley for quite a few games on the right-neither of them were adept at over lapping and getting a telling cross in to the two front men
Re: Time to offload JBG
As I said. He's performed admirably. We do need some creativity on the right. Be it a winger or overlapping RB. Take your point on JBG. He does tend to cut inside to cross, as you say he is predominantly left footed.Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Tue Jul 28, 2020 10:06 pmBrownhill would be fine on the right hand side of midfield if we got a decent over lapping right back, same with the left footed JBG to be fair.
Re: Time to offload JBG
I do and he was another one who performed there admirably. Still not his best position and left us one sided. Not Hendrick's fault but we did and do lack creativity and pace down the right. I'm not knocking the players asked to play there. Just stating the bleeding obvious to everyone. We need some creativity and pace down the right.
