Re: Possibly Dwight for England
Clearly not a football decision, so the big question is... why?
Re: Possibly Dwight for England
I’m absolutely appalled, there isn’t a single Leeds player in that squad
Re: Possibly Dwight for England
I hope he hasn’t ruled himself out because a move is on the cards, and he doesn’t want to get injured. His absence from the squad is baffling
Re: Possibly Dwight for England
Either he's injured or Burnley have requested he doesn't get called up for these games in order to focus on preseason prep with us.
If it's not those then if you combine it with the Tarkwoski and Taylor omissions (when there's not fit left backs) then is the England setup trying to encourage our better players to move to a team that plays a system they approve of as opposed to Dyche's current system which they don't feel fits in with Southgate's philosophy? I remember Southgate saying things about how our players aren't compatible when Barnes was being mooted for a call up early last season.

Re: Possibly Dwight for England
How on earth can a player from Doncaster Rovers be selected instead of Dwight ? The mind boggles !!
Re: Possibly Dwight for England
Terrible news for us as a club, Tarks and Dwight will now both be pushing to move on as it looks as though they won't get selected playing for us.

Re: Possibly Dwight for England
Cast on his wrist? Might explain his exclusion. Injured?
Re: Possibly Dwight for England
To be fair after lockdown he was under par but should still be in before some of that lot.
Tarks and Mc Neil now know they need to move on to get recognition from England - that is certain now.

Re: Possibly Dwight for England
That is an insult to the lad (unless there is a bona fida reason. For any young player starting every PL game and not being subbed at all, and finishing in the top half of the table is an amazing achievement and says everything about Dwight. Whats amazing when Burnley are featured pundits single him out as a brilliant player who is going to the top. Sorry but some of those names in the squad are outstanding, others have yet to play in the PL and are unproven.

Re: Possibly Dwight for England
Stop Press ....
Gareth Southgate has called up Chelsea defender, Ron Harris to replace Harry Maguire for the forthcoming Internationals. " Chelsea have had a great season " said Gareth, " a justified reward for an uncapped player, who's impressed at U23 level ".
When it was pointed out that Ron's last appearance for the U23's was in 1968, and that Ron is now 75, Mr Southgate replied " Ron's been overlooked by previous England managers, it's a great chance to resurrect his international career and after all, he does play for Chelsea "

This is almost laughable, there has got to be something else at play here. Pope picks himself but has Southgate had a massive falling out with the club or something?

Re: Possibly Dwight for England
I was wondering if there is something else behind it.
He did used to manage Boro, is he doing Steve Gibson a favour. Tarks and Dwights omission could be a blessing in disguise for the club and fans, but on a personal level must be shocking, especially looking at the CVs of those selected.
I suggest they go out this season and embarrass the knob, by playing their best football ever.

Re: Possibly Dwight for England
SSN presenter about 15 mins ago read out the up and coming talents for the national side to highlight the depth we have at u21 level. He read out every single name other than Dwight McNeil, he even mentioned eze and some lad at bloody Brentford! Now I don't usually buy into this 'everybody hates us' mentality some fans have at Burnley but that was inexcusable.

Brian O’Neil. 0 caps
Jimmy Adamson, Footballer of the year. 0 caps
Do you see a pattern here. All super talented footballers in highly successful Burnley sides.

Re: Possibly Dwight for England
We are forgotten about but there is a definitely an element of paranoia in our fanbase that nobody likes Burnley IMO.
Re: Possibly Dwight for England
Tarkowski can count himself unlucky for sure - but how many fans outside of Burnley are banging on the door for his inclusion? A little telling I suspect. And remember in the games he has played to date he has been far from convincing at that level. Not saying that counts him out for a second shot at it.
As for Dwight - long way short as of now to get in in front of his competition. The post COVID games in particular did not do him any favours at all.

Re: Possibly Dwight for England
I think Tarks has been outstanding and I would have thought his recent form elevated him above several others. Can only assume Southgate did not like his last performance where he did not play that well alongside Stones
Re: Possibly Dwight for England
He's a goalkeeper that looks like matt damon.
If Southgate is picking the team, the second bit may be the more important. Norwich are well represented and they are no better supported than us.

Re: Possibly Dwight for England
Living in Spain and watching a lot of sport in the local sports bars I meet up with a lot of expats who are supporters of every club you can think of, from Accrington and Northampton to Spurs and Chelsea . Many of them, nay nearly all of them, rate Pope and Tarks extremely highly and many of the lads who support the bigger clubs would love to sign Pope and Tarks. I posted elsewhere that my Spurs supporting mate texted me yesterday as follows "I can't believe Dier is in the England squad and your captain Tarkowski isn't in there". So I can only say, in my experience, those two players are very highly thought of.
Re: Possibly Dwight for England
Currently I think VVD and Laporte are the only other two better centre halfs in this league ahead of Tarkowski. Tarks is nearly twice as good as Michael Keane.
I must admit, I thought Grealish would have been selected in the full squad, rather than McNeil, so no suprise for me.
To leave him out of the under 21's though is criminal.
I think we have another player who's been very unlucky this season to not get a look in. Phillips is a good player but still unproven in the prem, step forward Westwood with a good number of assists and has played well all year... in the prem.
Westwood also adds something different with the corner speciality. Imagine how many Kane and slab head Maguire would net?!
The choices are baffling!

I guess that if our intention is to play with 3 at the back and wing backs then it's highly unlikely that we would use an orthodox left-winger.

Re: Possibly Dwight for England
Dont the U21's try to build teams in 2 year cycles so players who wont be eligible for the next big tournament are left out from the start. I know with Covid this may have changed the dates and schedule a bit but I always thought this is how they approached the U21s and was a good way of doing so
Also if Southgate see's a future for Dwight as part of the main squad over the next 12 months then it makes sense to try and give a place in the U21s for the next potential Dwight
Alternatively it could be that everybody really does hate Burnley but as im not as mental as Alex Jones I can see this view is utter nonsense

Re: Possibly Dwight for England
It depends how many of those players are knocking on the door of the first team squad. Its not an exact science but was just providing a few reasons and ways of thinking that leads to Dwight not being picked that are more likely to be true than some vendetta against Burnley
I would guess that the objective of the U21s isnt to always pick the best team and do everything to win every game but there is a balance and bigger picture of bringing young promising players through and developing them towards full international football.
If Dwight doesnt make the step up then he might go back to the U21s and Im sure with all the Covid stuff they will be looking to mix things up in a bit anyhow.
As I say there is no way Dwight is not seen as good enough for the U21s and it is ludicrous to think that players are not picked because they are Burnley players so there must be some other reason. I've given a few ideas and open for other people to come up with some better ones (than everyone hates Burnley)
Re: Possibly Dwight for England
Surely the only reason he should have been omitted from the under 21 squad, would have been if he’d been in the full squad!
IMHO I don’t think he’s ready for the full squad yet, definitely in the future tho

Re: Possibly Dwight for England
Have the Club/Manager made any sort of comment regarding these omissions.
Re: Possibly Dwight for England
Tarks had played for England whilst with us. So did Heaton and Pope and Keane.
Tarks and Dwight are just the latest Burnley players some fans have a hard on for and think their the greatest players ever. We had it with Heaton, Keane, Mee (Still do from some)
Re: Possibly Dwight for England
The problem is this will damage Burnley in the long term. Prospective transfer targets may well not join Burnley if they think it may harm their international chances. And Pope, Tarks and McNeil may feel they have to leave to get selected for England. It’s concerning.
