Totally agree, those three, our two fullbacks and Jaidon Anthony. They are key to our success. I've seen Foster taking some stick about not being in the right place at the right time or not playing like an out and out number nine. The way we are setting up means he is having to run channels and pre...

Our strongest central midfield (I don't think we have seen them together yet) on paper is Luis, Cullen and Ugochukwu. It appears to have a good balance and something we can build the team around. IMO this is where we start with our team selection and then fit the other elements of the side around th...

I can cope with yellows given out but keeping his cards in his pocket, for the sustained pull on the shorts in the first half, suggests it's not a level playing field.

Steward came along our line to see our tickets on the phones, he suggested ours would be fine as they were android.

So not sure if it was an iPhone issue?

The first half was abhorrent, a complete lack of desire throughout the side, the second half was a lot better but still way below the required standard. On paper the back three should be a good fit, a dominant centre half flanked by two players who naturally can play as centre halves/full backs. The...

Second moan of the night

I wish they'd left the other three turnstiles closed

First moan of the night.

CFS end turnstile block of Bob Lord Stand has only three open turnstiles (out of four) and ever increasing queues approaching kick off.

They've probably knocked a few thousand off the attendance with this approach. All they needed to do was close the Jimmy Mac upper and the cricket field stand for home fans leaving a capacity of about 13000

How very dare you.

Common sense is frowned upon.

I looked last night at a meeting I ran at in 2014, the 1500m had an U13 girl who won her race and U17 man who won his.

Namely, Keeley Hodgkinson and Tiarnan Crorken. They haven't turned out too bad at all.

You'd assume our best central midfield three is Luis, Ugochukwu and Cullen. It's just fitting everything in around them. Does that mean we'll revert to four at the back? Otherwise keeping the back line as it is will probably see Tchaouna sacrificed? Saying that, it wouldn't surprise me if we lined u...

If only Kompany had looked towards players like Walker and Dubravka, that was his biggest undoing.

Add to this, Parker has also solidified the midfield and so we have given ourselves a real chance of staying up.

We’ve arguably had one of the toughest starts to a prem season anyone has ever had based on European competition teams and still two more to go.

An enormous amount of guff is evident in that spiel above.

Goody1975

He should be very pleased with what he's accomplished, not too far off qualifying and needs to treat it as his beginning of mixing it with the best.

A solid winter and push on in 2026.

Goody1975

When I spoke to him before he left England to go to the holding camp, he said he has planned with his coach to try and run a high 1:43, as that is what it may well take to qualify from the heats.

It really shows the depth of talent in the 800m at the minute.

He'll need a bit of love next week. He's an important player and he'll need support not only from the coaches and squad, but also from supporters. The same was the case last season after his petulant stamp resulted in an early bath. He made up for this with his performances and will do again. I had...

The club literally released a video of the players pronouncing their names, so no that isn't the case.

Summary for Burnley is that we have to score goals! Who’d have thunk it.

Yes, absolutely. But i can't help but think that so many of the rule changes I've seen over the years are only there because the refs aren't really able to stop players from cheating; this, I believe, is largely down to TV and the PL. Slightly off topic but relating to your point about players 'che...

A straw poll

If you meet a stranger and they say they follow one of the big sides, do you initially show them less respect than someone who follows a less fashionable/successful club?

Especially if that club is Manchester United or Liverpool.

I certainly do.

He did apply the rules, the player doesn't have to leave the field if a card is given for a challenge that makes them need treatment.

Ah, but unless the directive has changed then the length of time that treatment is administered determines if a player stays on or not.

Goody1975

Think it was another law they decided to change in recent times. If they are also thinking of banning goals scored by rebounds on penalties, then maybe line the two teams up on the half way line and have the two cameramen follow the penalty taker down the pitch as he makes the long walk (well as lon...

I usually agree with most things Daz says, but I want to be in this league and compete. There is something in this league for us.

I usually don't, has he given Foster any credit yet?

I love the podcast though, as it involves people of my age and look forward to the pre and post match editions.

Understand what you mean but it's not "the technology" that's the problem. It's the people in charge of it. I've argued this from the start, if you look at the same incident in two separate games and give two different outcomes then why are you using technology? Saying it's not clear and obvious is...

He has a tendency to assume the big teams are right and the lesser teams have transgressed and that was very evident today. Of course ultimately it was a penalty at the end, but it's all the other stuff which went before which bugs me! but VAR will correct any errors, unfortunately all they seem to...

Supposedly the best isn’t he? Says it all really. Oliver and Taylor referee the big teams every other week, they more or less share the big matches. They occasionally are given lesser sides to balance things up but generally they are the go to pair. It leads to over familiarity and I personally don...

Almost sure it was Frimpong and it was definitely a free kick.

Sorry, it may well have been Frimpong.

The penalty is correct, my issue is Hartman being put into the hoardings by I think Bradley for the corner near the end.

It doesn't lead directly to the goal but is still in the same phase of play.

Watching on TV got all the big decisions correct

Could have given straight red to Leslie - most referees imo would have done

Give the blocking/foul on Ekdal and there is no decision to make.

Goody1975

Oliver was all over Dubravka all game, Alisson is allowed to take an age at the end of the game, doesn't even get eye contact with him.

Oliver, blow for the foul on Ekdal and none of this happens.

Why do they jump from.one extreme to the other. All stands open to closures of 3 sections around the ground.

Closing the upper tier of the Longside is daft. Just close the Jimmy Mac completely.

How dare you use common sense.

This ticketing decision borders on being moronic.

8.5, so close to being perfect. The form of Foster has really made our forward line stronger than it might first have seemed. Finally, we look like a competitive unit in the centre of the park, something that has been overlooked in so many of the seasons at this level. There are players in the squad...
