With him, Les, Walker and foster looking good, we look to have the physicality for this league that we’ve never really had for a while.

It will definitely help. We were as naive about that as we were our playing ‘philosophy’ last time.

NottsClaret

Probably trying to find something Foster did. Those VAR guys really don’t like him.

NottsClaret

Maybe it’s not a bad idea to cash in on players who look top class when they’re still in the Championship.

NottsClaret

Potter’s last game this.

NottsClaret

West Ham look s***e but they’ve probably 7 or 8 players who’d start for us. Shows the scale of the task.

NottsClaret

When was he a £20m player?! He was about £2-3m wasn't he? Which was probably about right.

NottsClaret

We always used to park on Holcombe Drive back in the day - only around 2,000 on then so it was easy. Someone wants to open a pie shop on that estate now, like that one on Higgin Street.

NottsClaret

Let's say it's 1-1 on Saturday, an afternoon kick off, a close finish so not many leave early. 5 minutes later you've got around 14,000 people leaving via this. It will probably all be fine, it'll certainly take a while though.

No need to get sidetracked by semantics guys, the issue here is the previously mentioned bottleneck in that corner. It was tight as it was.

NottsClaret

I'd say Potter, Andrews then Parker.

NottsClaret

Just reading this thread shows how much fans have wised up. Everyone knows now it's about money, agents, bonuses and commissions. 30 years ago we'd still have been naively talking about loyalty or ambition or the 'size' of a club, like it mattered. It's just about cash, as it always was. Isak starte...

He's spent most of his career being injured, it's unlikely we're going to see a sudden improvement at 27.

Bring back the 90s. Those were the days.

Thought you’d think that.

NottsClaret

I thought it was a pen.

NottsClaret

Great research. We really don’t make life easy on ourselves. You’d think the law of averages would owe us a more pleasant start this time, but the fixture list looks unkind to say the least. Not sure about that. Spurs and United were two of the worst teams in the Prem and Sunderland were 4th in the...

NottsClaret

What do we need.. if we want to be competitive? Harsh, but the answer to that one is simply ‘in the division below’. We were an excellent Championship side and we still are.

NottsClaret

It’ll be a distant memory by November.

NottsClaret

We’ll want him out by mid October, that’s football.

NottsClaret

I shouldn’t have watched this. It’s a different sport to the Championship.

NottsClaret

Carl Sagan. Or if we’re going into town after, Shaun Ryder.

NottsClaret

Genuine question.. when was the last player song we had that wasn't a rip off? I'd hope the rarely heard 'Ben Mee' chant was original.

Barnsley Hospital must operate in a parallel universe to others, my experience for my kids, ourselves and my elderly parents has been positive. Yes you get some feral morons in there at times, but that’s not an NHS issue. The staff, the care, the organisation have always been excellent. Just to add ...

NottsClaret

It's been heartwarming seeing other fans rally round Morecambe, and then a lovely touch with Leicester fans supporting the Sheff Wednesday fans in their protest. It's what football is all about, great to see that brotherhood. However, as far as our neighbours are concerned, the moment the Venkys pul...

Not ideal.

I get some people have severe autism and can’t function independently. Give them and their families all the support they need. But a lot of what I’m reading here is just people describing different personalities. That’s not a disorder or diagnosis. People are all different. Quit navel gazing and cra...

NottsClaret

Our local high school has a real problem with parents desperate for any sort of SEN diagnosis and the rewards that brings.

NottsClaret

They've a good chance of winning the Conference League, once they get over the disappointment of this. I do feel for their fans, must be gutted.

* Yes, I know rules are rules.

NottsClaret

What the Liverpool fans did was absolutely fine, in a modern democratic country. What a small minority of no doubt inebriated Palace fans did was pretty scummy.

NottsClaret

Whenever I’ve watched a stream of a game, I’ll always choose the opposition’s coverage. It’s generally very fair and professional. I’ve had people sat next to me on the Longside give more balanced commentary on a game than Phil Bird.

Don't see why this is much different then. One player's word against another. It's going to be 'not proven' anyway, just get on with it.

NottsClaret

How long did it take for Jay Rod’s case to get resolved when he was accused?

NottsClaret

Tell them to grow a pair and smoke a proper fag. Pains me to see a generation of young ‘men’ growing up puffing on a strawberry and marshmallow vape.

NottsClaret

I like it when players do this, shows how much they just love playing. I saw Daniel Pudil (ex-Wednesday and Czech international) playing for Hallam in North East Counties league last season.

NottsClaret

Just waiting for our Europa League 2026 fixtures to get released, need to book some flights.

I was reading the other day about how the God of possession football, Pep himself, has hired one of Klopp's old coaches as he's accepted that football has again moved on. Even he thinks this style has been worked out and needs to evolve. Unfortunately, it's embedded in every coach and club in the co...

NottsClaret

All very sensible. Along with Walker, that's two signings I haven't had to Google already this summer.

They seemed to want the Jack walker one on X , with some shitty oasis lyric about never seeing what they’ve seen or some other shite

To be fair, that one’s true. We’ve never seen our bitterest rivals dance around our home ground after winning the league right in front of us. Stick that on a flag.

NottsClaret

Just as importantly, is this the biggest height differential in a midfield two at Burnley? Cullen at 5’9 and Big Les at 6’3.

NottsClaret

Everyone will see it differently, but I quite like it. Shows some confidence and ambition.

NottsClaret

Almost everyone's predictions will have us in 20th.

NottsClaret

Good move for him. Let's not get too dismissive of the level, he's got 0 football league appearances.

League Two is a huge step up from u21 or academy football. If he's as good as we're suggesting, he'll be playing every week and that's what matters.

NottsClaret

As a pet owner and animal lover, this sounds a great idea. Should be more of it.

NottsClaret

Strange one, he looked like he was going to be a star but has faded badly since that World Cup. Maybe he's just not that arsed, still going to make a decent living out of football.

NottsClaret

No chance. I really felt for him after that documentary where he opened up about some of the things he’d been through. But sadly he’s never getting back to the sharpness and physicality this league demands. He’ll be a mile away now.

NottsClaret

I was there today, good game at a lovely ground. Pay on the gate, nice pint next to the pitch.. cracking. Brownhill (Joel) got a couple, Penistone will feel hard done by with a few decisions. Good luck to Padiham in next round.

NottsClaret

It's still a relatively small percentage but this is the Premier League for you. It's a global tourist trade, it'll affect us like any other set of fans. No club seems bothered about it, the tickets still get sold, what's their incentive? The clubs are the biggest touts going too, when it comes to r...

Henrik Pedersen has been appointed as their new manager - think he was already there.

Reports that Saturday's friendly against them could be off.

Yeah, he was Rohl's assistant. It's not like they could advertise the position, would be a bit tricky when it came to salary. £0.

NottsClaret

Exactly the right colours for a Burnley away kit.

NottsClaret

Feels like it's unravelling fast there, could this be the first 'big' club to properly go under?

A real shame too, I know loads of Wednesday fans, crazy how it's come to this.

Danny Rohl now left by "mutual consent", no surprise there !

It’ll be interesting to see how he does at a proper club.
