In which case the recruitment is even more vital nowFactualFrank wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2020 10:17 pmI think there's a very simple explanation as to why they haven't featured more - they aren't good enough.
It's easy for fans to say that players should feature more, especially when McNeil managed to come through and set things on fire, but from what I've seen, from what friends have seen at the 'reserve' games, they just aren't good enough.
You can't force what isn't there. One thing I've learned with social media and on here - there's an awful lot of Burnley fans who liken it to a computer game. Where it's literally as simple as taking a player out and replacing him with a younger player - or selling someone and bringing someone in at the drop of a hat.
It doesn't work like that.

Seems to me like two different departments.
We must have people working on the youth and a different section working on the scouting of first team players.

Re: Booo, Garlick stinks...
Agreed, either way, if the kids aren't good enough to be on the bench then they shouldn't be. If a couple of them are then bloody awesome and get them on the bench - either way, Dyche is asking for players for a reason and he is the man the majority of us seem to trust so not sure why that trust should waiver on this topicFactualFrank wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 12:17 amSeems to me like two different departments.

Nonsense, we’ve knew about these injuries before the window opened.FactualFrank wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2020 6:56 pmWe had 7 players injured. Had they not been injured, the bench would have been chockablock.

What about the players who have left? Why no replacements for them, they've known about it long enough!FactualFrank wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 1:18 amNope. Had those 7 players not been injured, we would have filled the bench.

So from page two onwards we have the very definition of a happy clapper and someone who changes their opinion more times than their underwear. I'll let you decide who these two are
