Joel Cotterill has just signed for Bristol Rovers. Is that who you are talking about? If so he’s not related to Steve but he is the cousin of former Birmingham and Wales international player David Cotterill

Played against us in the 2009 play off final.

Think it was the sort of defensive battle he relishes. Not afraid to put himself about. Excellent performance.

Good luck, Ellis.

In champ we had more of the ball so teams defend deep negating pace and space in behind. Fosters performance on Saturday was better than any of his last season in championship. Anthony and Edwards are better footballers than koleosho but neither have his pace that could have helped with that. Foste...

A class player in that first season under Kompany. Really feel for him at the moment. Seems a genuinely decent fellow. Will definetly need that 'close team spirit,' built up last season, around him.Behind you all the way, Jordan.

I was fortunate enough to see Mc play for us between the end of 1958 and his sad departure in February 1963. Such wonderful times for a schoolboy like me and he was very much my football hero. Mentioned on here before that probably my favourite ever Burnley performance was at home to Man City, Janua...

I would expect Parker to be in post even through a relegation. He would get most of the next season as well. He got us promoted, he deserves an opportunity to take the club forward. He's pragmatic so there is no way we have a season like Vinny's which was miserable. How would another relegation be ...

I think that's a bit of star gazing. I thought he had a difficult afternoon alongside Sonne and Ekdal but what do I know....

Agree with this. Nobody stood out throughout the game. Walker as apt a choice as any I suppose.

Silkyskills1

Whoever it is will be based on a bad start and I have to admit that if Scott Parker doesn't get an early vital win then the sheer unpredictability and bloody mindedness of our owners( shown in full this summer) could easily force him out.

Silkyskills1

Mattster the system is fairly fluid, off the ball it’s a flat midfield 4 with the two ‘10s’ in a typical wide position, on the ball one plays a bit narrower and one might stay a bit wider. I think the profile of winger / inside forward / 10 is fairly fine. Tchaouna has played all across the front a...

Thought Edwards came good for us last season, but have to say watching him running around yesterday albeit for not longr had me asking if he had the physique and pace to harm a strong PL defence. Yes, came on with the game done and dusted. Amazing where Sonne has come from to be first choice. But f...

The speed of thought and action is the difference The non marking on Richarlison and allowing Johnson to be unchallenged didnt help as did our poor attempts at goal Totally agree. Esteve made that poor pass right in front t of us behind in the corner. Would probably have got away with that last sea...

Looking likely Foster will be the UTC MOM yet he's subject to the usual UTC unpopularity and singled out by many. There were far worse than him on Saturday yet they are free from criticism. FWIW, is Foster the answer? Probably not. Do I want Foster to be the answer, yes however there are some on he...

Silkyskills1

Out of interest, being that you were there, how many chances did he miss on Saturday? Don't be crass. I'm talking about Lyle Foster as a goalscorer in the relatively long time he's been here. If you wany to use that pitiful argument how many chances did we create last season and how many did he sco...

Silkyskills1

In an ideal world you are right. But this is Burnley FC, punching a way above our weight. Support the players we have because we really are very unlikely to field much better. I do support the players we have. Paid for 5 of my family to attend the game at Spurs on Saturday. Is that good enough? How...

I wouldn't waste your time, facts don't matter to those with agendas There is no agenda except for one you are hiding behind. You make out something personal is afoot but it isn't. Players in any team have a role to play. For me centre forwards/ strikers are there to score goals. If they can do tha...

Somebody suggested we need a proven premier league striker, and a proven premier league creator. I think some people forget we are Burnley, and those players ain't coming for a variety of reasons, so let's back what we've got. And not criticise? Please, no critiicism of our players. The defence of ...

If after today you honestly believe this and are not just a troll then you need to change sport. You’re honestly clueless. Our best player by a mile Hell, we're in a bigger mess than I first thought. You seem to revel in making ultimatums. I was sat behind the goal we 'attacked' in the 2nd half and...

Silkyskills1

Not one of his worst games and I'm not a fan of his at all. But he is getting the label now of non scoring centre forward. Not really a title to put fear into defenders.

Silkyskills1

Goalkeeper is the most important position in a team simply because no one else can do it. We've seriously downgraded with Dubravka. In fact today's starting 11was much weaker than the team that finished last season.

Did you expect us to beat PNE in the cup last year?
Assuming we would win is ridiculous.

I never attend a game 'expecting' anything but I do go 'hoping' for a good performance/ victory. A win at Preston on both occasions last season was always possible and certainly not a 'ridiculous' notion.

Who mentioned his personality?

It was you who quite clearly said 'you don't like him'.
Evidently you get somewhat apoplectic if a poster's opinion differs to yours.

Silkyskills1

I see you're the one giving him low marks today, most others thought he did ok. I get it....you don't like him. My mark was given for his performance not his personality. I don't know the man at all but you have the audacity to suggest that I don't like him. I repeat; my mark out of 10 was given ba...

He has to get the service, which today he didn't.

So it's everybody else's fault. He consistently has little or no effect on any game he's involved in. Unfortunately out of his depth.

Did he have an opportunity to shoot or head towards goal?

He's the centre forward. He was on the pitch for around 65 minutes. No threat from him at all. Their centre half must have been disappointed when he went off.

Hannibal score ranges from 5 to 9. I didn’t go today but difficult to tell whether he played well or not. Thought the Lazio players 'got to him' and they are experts at that. Once his concentration is disturbed his performance suffers. Will have to do something about it because if he's on the pitch...

Must have been watching blindfolded I gave Foster 4 and I was definetly watching everything very closely. Absolutely no threat whatsoever to the opposition goal. If we want/ need goals they are not coming from him. Not seen any development or progress in his game since he arrived here. Would love t...

Desperately need a right sided centre half and a midfielder capable of scoring a few goals.

A midfielder who can 'pick a pass' for me. The other area we are weak is at centre forward. No shots or headers from a supposed Premier league centre forward must be a first. Woefully inadequate.

Grealish doesn’t play for us

No, I know that. It didn't stop you eulogising about him not long ago as 'the best player you'd ever seen play for Burnley if he did'. Odd to say the least, a bizarre statement that caught my attention.

Silkyskills1

The thing with Brook is, he was playing risk-free cricket in that afternoon session and still dominating the bowlers. There was no need to change his approach. There’s a lot of times with this team when cruising in 5th gear is absolutely fine but they reach unnecessarily for 6th and often throw it ...

There’s a player there.

You don’t have 54 goals and 34 assists in 180 premier league games without immense talent.

If we can get him even remotely in the right headspace he would be our best player

Ahead of Grealish?

I suppose Foster has at last made the No9 shirt his own. About as close as he will get to playing like one.

Pretty much what I expected. I don’t think Parker will trust Edwards in a wide position this year. Messi role for him, I think.

Are you just basing that on the number of his shirt?

They weren’t a million miles behind. They edged the game at the Turf and should have won. I'll bow to your very good memory but apart from the 2 penalty saves near the end there is nothing I can recall about that game and most definetly not Sunderland's superiority. They limped their way to the pla...

Very sad to hear this news. Nothing to add to the glowing tributes expressed so far so I'll just revert to a little story I think I've mentioned on here before. This will be it's last airing.

Nail on the head. Many of them haven’t even played the game at any sort of decent standard either. What do you mean by 'decent standard'?

Along with members of my family I attended the last ever game played on Christmas Day in this country.

I know it’s almost an impossibility but could you imagine if we got Grealish on loan.

Playing in that Brownhill role he would be immense. Arguably best player we have had in my lifetime

As the psychiatrist in Fawlty Towers so aptly put it. 'there's enough material.there for a conference'
