I know there have been a bucket load of pleas to this end, but I'm going to try one more time. Can we please keep this thread for providing links about players BFC are actually linked with and then discussion about that player. If you want to continue the Tella fantasy with your gut feelings, you co...

A far more enjoyable league. Let's hope they keep VAR out of it for as long as possible.

ksrclaret

Not many complimentary comments about Edwards tonight. I thought he was poor as well and there's no way he's suited to playing premier league footy, but the mood certainly seems to have shifted on him from last season.

ksrclaret

Thought Fatty Euseless was running his mouth off at SP again there.

ksrclaret

Great sharp passing there. Ramsey into Barnes, first time to Tresor with a great pass into Sonne who provides a striker's finish.

Well done Burnley.

ksrclaret

This guy better be the dogs ******** given all this clamour for him.

ksrclaret

This is either an innocuous indecent or an embarrassing attempt at play-acting by the Derby lad.

ksrclaret

Not for the first time in his, admittedly short, career with us, I’m extremely disappointed with Worrall’s defending.

ksrclaret

Ramsey in centre mid looks good.

ksrclaret

I suppose VAR will be giving a good few penalties a game now we've set the barometer for what constitutes a penalty.

You've just got to stand back and admire the way you have twisted a Marcus Edwards thread into a bendy, cane like stick to beat Vincent Kompany with.

I think just the word stick would have done there lad.

I'm a big fan and hugely appreciative of the work he puts in for 90 minutes+ every single match. A goal and assist yesterday was richly deserved with the quality he showed in those decisive moments. That awful poster who says that Parker has blood on his hands for not selecting Koleosho over Anthony...

ksrclaret

I thought his 20/25 mins on the pitch was hugely promising. He was winning headers from goal kicks against their centre back, his touch looked good, and he's definitely got that Premier League build and athleticism about him. The technique for his shot at goal was pretty good too. In terms of his po...

ksrclaret

Excellent today. He was in charge of everything and passed it out very well.

I’d still feel better if we got another centre back before next Monday though. Esteve going down really highlighted the need for one.

ksrclaret

I was surprised at his performance. In the first half has passed it right out of play with nobody anywhere near it, and then straight to Hannibal on the half way line when it was a simple pass to his mate. He did get on the ball a lot on the first half though and you felt he was controlling play. In...

Dubravka 7 Walker 8 Ekdal 9 Esteve 8 Hartman 8 Cullen 10 Ugochukwu 7 JBL 6 Hannibal 7 Anthony 8 Foster 8 Sonne 7 Laurent 7 I thought we were absolutely outstanding in the second half after a very flow first half. Cullen I have to give 10 out of 10 to after a top class midfield performance and then a...

ksrclaret

No complaints with that team. Whether it’s enough is a different matter but hoping for a win.

ksrclaret

Both felt like really big clubs in the nineties and probably into the noughties as well. They had some big names in football like Larsson, Laudrup etc. Then Rangers had massive financial issues and were relegated to the third division and suddenly Celtic no longer had the same competition driving th...

Odds on Sunday morning nothing has really happened apart from it taking a few minutes longer for some to walk back to your car/bus station/ pub of choice….. let’s hope we win! Hi SHP. I feel bad for you that you've posted three times now on a similar theme and nobody has responded to you, so here i...

ksrclaret

They have no interest in what any of us think, they've decided what they want to do and will do it despite it being a huge inconvenience to many supporters. We will no doubt see people no longer renew season tickets but I suspect they want to free up space for new fans prepared to pay more. There w...

ksrclaret

The idea that these changes are to get fans there earlier to go to the fanzone and cheer in the players coach will look a very, very foolish one come the winter if we're struggling to score a goal at home and register a win.

Bonkers.

ksrclaret

As mentioned a few times now, the club can have absolutely no complaints about fans leaving early and atmospheres being poor after the way they've taken these thoughtless decisions.

ksrclaret

Absolutely pathetic. Shoddy decision after shoddy decision. Idiots running the club.

ksrclaret

I'd dread it if Burnley appointed him. He just won't ever compromise on insistence that his defenders must play it out from the back on every occasion and the players must be spread out as far as possible. I read that his Rangers side have given up something like 120 shots against them in just 8 mat...

ksrclaret

I doubt whether any of us will be surprised if it turns out he’s injured, and I’m not sure he played again in preseason after coming off early in the first half at Shrewsbury.

SP didn’t mention an injury to him in his interview before Spurs, but he might not have been asked.

ksrclaret

Apparently the Panjab Warriors, the new owners, are going to appoint a 30 year old called Ashvir Singh Johal as manager. He’s never managed before but is replacing Derek Adams.

I’m so pleased the Morcambe continue to exist. I just hope they’ve landed better owners this time.

ksrclaret

I wasn't trying to be clever and I apologise if that's what you thought. I was asking what effort do you make to help create a hostile positive atmosphere on the Turf. I only know from my days on the Longside that Sunderland would be apprehensive about coming to us on Saturday. We had our moaners a...

Stop being silly. Nobody is trolling differences of opinion are occurring that is all.

Oh, there are differences of opinions alright. If there is one thing you're good at, it's finding the different opinion.

It's not good unless you harness it in the right way. Like anything in life moderation is key.

Could you troll this message board in moderation then, please?

It's ok, Jakub is a troll of this message board. He posts to get reactions. It's a full-time job of his.

Leeds created nothing against a dire Everton side. Where was the quality on show for Leeds tonight?

Everton are not a dire side. They're an established Premier League team. I don't even think you believe what you've written.

Do you go on the Turf?
If you do, what do you do to help create a hostile atmosphere or are you always giving off negative vibes, like you are now?

I'm sure you thought this was a clever post, but it's so poorly conceived that it leads me to think that you can't be making a serious point.

ksrclaret

I hope I’m wrong, and I’m sure someone will hurl insults my way for this, but I seriously worry about what will happen to us this season. Leeds and Sunderland look to have signed more quality whilst we’ve got around 40 players who are all on a similar level - not quite good enough for the league we’...

ksrclaret

Oh dear. Just what we didn’t want to happen has happened - Burnley lose and Leeds and Sunderland both win.

ksrclaret

Everton have done really well to ride out the pressure of the first 15/20 mins. How many times did we see Championship teams last year concede at Elland road in the first 5/10 mins because the atmosphere and intensity got to them.

ksrclaret

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.

ksrclaret

I’m really pleased that there are people on here who just want JJ to have some fun, but I’m also pleased that there are people who are more suspicious of how the ownership operate.

A difference of opinion here is very healthy.

ksrclaret

If the plan is to play this 523 system more often than not, then we absolutely need a RWB. I just can't imagine that either of Roberts or Sonne can give us enough attacking edge from that position, especially in the games we need to try and win. If we're only using it in the tough away games, then R...

ksrclaret

0 v Stoke, not Hudds.

Scoring goals is clearly the biggest challenge. No idea where they’re going to come from.

ksrclaret

Purpose of the thread well and truly gone. We all know he hasn't scored at the rate required - the thread is about identifying if there's a position / role on the pitch perhaps he's better suited to, because there's no denying that his work rate / strength / speed / link play is good enough for our...

ksrclaret

A few mentions of Tuanzebe possibly being seen as the central centre back instead of Ekdal who is definitely not the answer at this level.

If Tuanzebe is injured already, I’d hope that it’s focussed some minds that we absolutely need to recruit in that position.

ksrclaret

Anthony played from the right hand side around the Christmas and New Year period last season and he was excellent. I've no idea what the answer is to the OP though. I thought the record-breaking 4231 shape we used last season would be used again this season with some added quality, but we've changed...

ksrclaret

Just watching the Championship highlights and Johansson at Stoke is pulling off some incredible saves. I know a few on here wanted him to replace Trafford.

ksrclaret

Ok, but we sold our keeper for 30m and bought the replacement for 2m. It’s going to be an uphill battle.

ksrclaret

Prefer the Championship

ksrclaret

Can’t really fault anyone. Played okay. It’s not an even match up. Same old story.

ksrclaret

Can’t stand this league. The script for every game is already written - neat and tidy in the middle third but come up way short in both boxes.

It’s nobodies fault, we’re just short of quality and the others are too strong.

ksrclaret

So depressing to take part in this league. You get some golden chances and either miss them or take an age to make a decision, and then the opposition get a worldie.

I don’t know what to say about it anymore.

ksrclaret

Well we got to hope for 10 minutes. Ah well.

ksrclaret

Good sentiment but many of us are p****d off with such blatant negativity an hour before the game. Strong suspicion of trolling this thread. There are some miserable b******s in Burnley and all of them seem to post on this thread. Is there any chance you could just give it a rest? You've said your ...
