Think “we’re crap” is a somewhat simplistic assessment. We have a much bigger budget relative to our competition when we go down, which is why you think we’re good, and a much lower one compared to our competitors when we come up. We’re not actually “crap” at all. We’re just a town club competing a...

Crazy. Find its dead at the moment generally, but when you see threads like this it reminds me why I don’t open many anymore. It’s certainly much quieter than it used to be on here, but what is there to talk about? We’re crap every time we go up and we’re good when we go down. Only so many ways you...

I'm sorry to say so early, but he does look a dreadful piece of business. Was it 2022 when he last scored a goal? What on earth were we thinking.

ksrclaret

The less said about Broja the better. Let's just pretend he's still in Chelsea's bomb squad.

If we don’t rip up the back 5 with Laurent at RCB then I’ll wonder just what is going through SP’s head. It can’t happen again at this level, especially when we’ve got what looks like a strong midfield 3.

Stop trying to make players fit a system and start playing in a way that suits your best team.

ksrclaret

I fully expected us to shift to a back 5 this season given Parker’s use of the system previously, but I expected us to recruit the players to do it rather than putting Laurent at RCB. We’ve actually recruited the players to play 3 in midfield (Luis and Ugochukwu coming in) so any manager worth his s...

] I said at the end August that I thought we needed a centre half regardless of the system we were aiming to play, and a really dynamic hard working right sided player if we wanted to play this 541 system. Nothing I've seen since has changed my mind and today is a mess. Laurent's understandly strugg...

Rovers lucky that Stoke have finished poorly. Cantwell with a good assist though.

I've got no problem with SC at all. It was frequently difficult to watch and he could be very spiky and prickly at times, but it can't have been easy trying to manage a squad of 15/16 players through a 50+ game season each year. I hope he has an enjoyable time back at Cheltenham. Quite the Burnley c...

Just read through the thread and I have to agree with those saying it's time to move back to the 433 system, especially now we've got a run of fixtures where we're not playing the superpowers. Luis, Cullen, and Ugochukwu could make a really powerful and technically adept midfield trio. One potential...

I like Parker but he sacrificed a League Cup run for a 5 - 1 thrashing today. Not looking a very smart on his part.

My feelings exactly.

Very disappointed with the management of this week.

ksrclaret

Conversations & discussions usually happen when people quote posts & counters happen to & fro. If you disagree with my opinion it's adult to debate that or if you lack the intelligence to do that please feel free to ignore me. I've consistently maintained that I believe MT has been as fit as a fidd...

Can you prove different?

Surely you've got better things to do on a Friday night than more of your troll routine.

Treat yourself and clock off early. We won't think any less of you.

ksrclaret

It’s been long overdue some sort of justification for playing him irrespective of any factors. It can’t be far off some sort of a list of the world’s most expensive footballers with so little back in return. Any other club long down the frog & toad without a look back & a complete erase of memory. ...

I think Tresor has flattered to deceive. Made a few eye-catching dances but his end product has been poor. All fart and no solid.

ksrclaret

We've been so scruffy with our passing all evening. The players at the back lack the necessary composure to play this sort of deep possession football. Cardiff have given those on the field in Claret a lesson with the ball tonight.

ksrclaret

I can fully understand why Broja is being singled out (he's been absolutely dire and looks miles away from being good enough), but I've seen some wild guesses at his transfer fee so far.

ksrclaret

Hannibal is finding some brilliant forward passes this half.

ksrclaret

Very impressive from Flemming. Brilliant goal.

ksrclaret

Tackles won: Burnley 2, Cardiff 9.

Disgraceful lack of urgency and commitment.

ksrclaret

Cardiff are absolutely and utterly playing us off the park and we can’t get near them.

Unbelievable.

ksrclaret

Oh dear. Cardiff 1 up and looking pretty slick.

Nobody's fuming. You've made that up.

He/ she is just looking to start an argument again. Always at it.

He's the referee I dread the most. He is so utterly conceited.

Having him for City away is the least worst option though.

ksrclaret

I still struggle to believe we managed to get Tom Heaton, David Jones, and Scott Arfield on free transfers in 2013.

I have Heaton as my favourite ever Burnley goalkeeper.

Enjoyed that on the whole and it felt like an evenly matched game of football. Full credit goes to Parker for setting the team up so well against a side with so much attacking quality.

ksrclaret

Don't be so bloody flippant Its not just the weather though. It will be dark soon and with the amount of fans going that way it will be dangerous. Especially when you are trying to keep an eye on youngsters. Personally I find it hard work, as do a lot of older and disabled fans walking the extra di...

Who on earth would set their cruise control to 78. That's incredibly dangerous driving and fully deserves a punishment.

Why is that? Could he not just kick the thing? If there were that many Liverpool men forward, a kick over them would be the way to go.

Because all of our guys had come back to our box and presumably by that point they were too bloody knackered to leg it within the time allowed.

ksrclaret

One of the reasons for the 5 subs rule is so that the richer clubs can substitute a man who has been booked without weakening the side. Without that rule, Liverpool could have been a couple of points worse off today, so it worked as it was meant to. See also the new 8 second rule for keepers to hol...

ksrclaret

It’s a nice idea that we should stop Anderson and Gibbs-White controlling things, but in reality that means that we’ll have to step quite far up the pitch. They’re outstanding players so it’s more likely than not that they’ll then set their rapid front players in behind and the likes of Ekdal will b...

I wouldn't worry about Fatboy. He's been popping up all summer to have a do at anything and everything related to Josh Brownhill. Never misses an opportunity to get himself involved.

Hopefully he'll draw it in a bit once they're on different continents.

ksrclaret

I think he’s done marvellously well to last as Chairman for 25 years, and I think his tenure will be looked back on very favourably.

Very much from the old school tough negotiator breed of chairman who put the long term future of the club above everything else. Not many left like that now, if any.

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.

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...
