I know just because you've said play him there doesn't mean he should. Obviously. But one would hope that you suggesting it means you've acknowledged he's a CM.

If I could be arsed I could reference loads of web pages and line-ups showing him as a CM.
no you are not getting my point (or i'm not explaining it correctly) - Dyche doesn't like playing him there and as his is the only persons opinion that counts it would suggest he thinks he isn't the best option, all I am adding is that with the loss of form of Cork our options are undeniably limited and having a better midfielder been signed then Corks form wouldn't be an issue. That make more sense ?

I was specifically responding to your point that we started the season with just 2 CMs. That's incorrect and Cork's patchy form that has followed has no bearing on your statement being wrong. Hendrick actually played CM in a 442 early on.

and was crap at it, which again means we should have signed a CM. Joe Hart could be put in CM and have CM listed as his position, I can only judge what the manager does not what position he is listed on in FIFA

but to be fair, even if I said we started the season with 3 CM my point still stands, Defour was crocked and we risked he would come back and be fine

Was referring to game against Olympiacos when he played well did he not?

Your Hart comparison is simply bizarre.

no it isn't, you seemingly don't have a sense of humour. For you to take that seriously shows how unfortunately pedantic you are being.

On it's own it might be pedantic. But I'm correcting you because you were being disingenuous to suit your negative agenda. Saying we only had 2 CMs at the start of the reason was plain wrong. I'm not sure which bit was you trying to be funny. Your attempts saying Hendrick isn't a recognised CM are feeble.

"It's difficult for him, especially at Burnley, because he plays in a position that is not really the position he has grown up playing," Walters explained.

"I'd say Jeff's a natural central midfielder, but probably not a #10 so to say.

"You're expected [there] to get beyond the striker and make those runs, and that's not really what Jeff's about."

Jon Walters


" I still think Jeff can and should do better for us in the middle of the field, which I feel is his proper position."

and as I've pointed out at least twice Dyche manages Burnley and he obviously thinks a completely out of form Cork is still a better option than Hendrick. Dress it up any way you want, call him whatever you want, our manager doesn't seem to think he's up to it. My opinion and yours along with Walters and O'Neil are utterly irrelevant.

edit: what negative agenda is that then ?

There's a big difference between Dyche preferring Cork over Hendrick and Hendrick apparently not being a CM (despite you saying he should play CM against Wolves).

Edit: I don't need to answer about negative agenda because it's there for all to see. You're as fickle as they come.

Same type of player, same style of play - predictable.
Quite the opposite, those teams strayed too far from their identity.
Stoke were like us in our pomp, hard to break down, physical etc.
'Can they do it on a rainy Tuesday evening at Stoke?' a cliche but a testament to their reputation.

But they they tried to "evolve" in an effort to reach higher than totally respectable 11th place finishes. Bought in over priced players, tried to become 'Stoke-alona' and it all fell apart.

how are you unable to understand that if the manager doesn't think he's good enough then he isn't good enough ? I couldn't give a **** if his official position is a CM, and I acknowledged your point on that further up - had I said we only started the season with 3 fit CM's I would still say we should have signed another one - to rely on Defour was foolish

This town club unless we get major investment can only aim for survival in any premiership campaign, aiming for the 3 promoted clubs and then ?? maybe realistically 1-2 others like a Brighton. Our transfer and wage budget means we can only buy/attract a certain calibre of player thus determine our style of play at times but even if we unearth a gem Austin, Ings, Keane, Gray they will get poached anyway and quite easily when they realise what they get paid.
Enjoy the ride, support the lads and yes reality check just like Bolton, Rovers, Wigan etc etc eventually the premiership status (unless a major investor appears abd has that helped Fulham ?) will end, thats the reality of a town club punching way above its weight.
Well said that man/women as that just about some's the "reality" up.

How can we be punching above our weight when historically we are a top flight side? How can we be doing that when nearly half the sides in the PL have never been Champions of England but we have twice? I EXPECT Burnley to be a top flight club and I'm not 'grateful' to be feeding off the scraps. So no, I'm not proud we are punching above our weight because we aren't.

Who do you think currently above us in the league table as it stands right now we should season in, season out finish above and what reason ? everyone above us apart from Bournemouth and Watford have bigger stadiums, bigger crowds, bigger revenue streams, bigger wage budgets, bigger transfer budgets and probably in most cases more structural scouting networks.

It wasn't the only reason, but they sure do help.

I think they both got relegated because they wanted to play a different style of football to the one that had served them well over a number of years. In pursuit of trying to play open attractive football they both got found wanting. Stoke in particular had some exciting individuals but they weren't 'Stoke' type players.

West Brom have obviously gone into panic mode whilst doing okay and Stoke are nowhere near the play offs despite being one of the pre season favourites.

To an extent, as turgid as it is to watch, we have tried to play with more flair, failed miserably and now don't have the calibre of player to dig us out when the going gets tough.

I hope we stay up but I'm not sure we have the bottle for it now.

Incredible sense of entitlement, throughout our history we have had to fight to eat at the top table, it was a surprise we were founder members of the football league and while we have occasionally had success in terms of trophies, ours (not unlike the town itself) is a tale of overachievement with resources at our disposal, utilising spirit and intelligence to do so, that is the history of Burnley football club.

And it was always thus. Nothing has changed in that sense. Bigger crowds mean nothing, ask Aston Villa/Leeds/the Sheffields and any number of 'bigger' clubs. We have achieved what we have over the years despite being one of the 'smallest' clubs in the country. I'm talking about what I expect from a perspective of what is (or has been) normal for us. Much of our history has seen us in the top flight, including a 24 year unbroken run (which not many have achieved). Don't get me wrong, I'm not living in the past and I haven't forgotten the 'lost' years but Burnley FC are not in the wrong league or punching above their weight. Some on here seem to think we should be grateful for our time at the top and then we will sink to our 'realistic level' - nonsense, our reralistic level is where we are and not one of our fans should think otherwise. I accept that some 'younger' fans only know the bad times and that can cloud thinking but those years in the wilderness do NOT define Burnley Football Club.

Be proud of the club for what it is not for where we are as if we don't belong.

Absolutely - you are right- but that doesn't mean that we should be 'forever grateful' for the PL letting us have some time there as some seem to believe. The sense of entitlement that you speak of comes from the so-called 'big' clubs who despite that thinking have achieved very little over the years. What right, for instance, do Newcastle have to think they should be a PL club - just because they get big crowds? Or West Ham? When the PL was first formed it was originally mooted that there should be a crowd size criteria for membership, if so we would never have got a sniff, nor would Bournemouth or Watford etc. Of course someone very sensibly decided you can't run a league on those lines and the idea was dropped but the thinking still persists to this day and even now many people, including fans, think that the presence of teams like Burnley somehow sullies the 'brand' of the PL.

The worst term I ever hear in football and it grates on my nerves no end is: little old Burnley. What a terrible and condescnding term that is. Why don't people just pat us on the head and say things like 'aaw bless'.

Houseboy - we have been in the top flight in 56 of 130 seasons of the football league, all of our trophies came during a time when a wage cap was in place (between 1901/61), since that was removed we had 18 of 58 seasons in the top flight and the majority of those (13) in the 15 years after the cap was removed and before tv money made it's impact.

Football fans are so odd in their belief that the past somehow dictates or casts certain rights over the future.
Emotions over logic and a constant looking back over one shoulder at the past seems to permeate every fan base.

1) Russia should control eastern Europe.
2) Burnley should be in the top flight.

Both statements based past performance but one you have an emotional investment in so agree with.

This is correct. And it’s why “but this squad finished 7th last season” was a load of nonsense from day 1 of summer.

Investment and improvement is required every single season. Clubs work good positions and all too often believe they no longer have the pressure to add real quality to the squad. And from what I saw on here July-August, so do the fans.

If we stay up, this season needs to be the lesson.

Sorry. Only meant that if you do regret it, it is likely because the performances and results have improved and you’ve missed it.

I can’t envisage not wanting a season ticket, although I 100% appreciate that is a personal decision. I just don’t see how it is that bad. I’ve watched since circa 1990 and for me the passion for it is there as much as ever.

Really hope we kick on and rediscover the form that saw us go 8 unbeaten just a short while ago. I’m sure the majority of us hope the same.

I think the comments from Dyche, and the subsequent appointment of Rigg, is an indicator that both Dyche and the board are aware of this.
