I thought he'd probably get us up but he'd be out of his depth should we reach the Prem. Hopefully that part i'll be proved wrong about!

Apart from VK and the coaching staff? They clearly saw enough to want to replace Muric as No.1 fairly early into the transfer window. Maybe they saw, in training, the type of performances which resulted in terms of Muric chucking one in (near as damn it literally) against Brighton and subsequently ...

Would have looked better in the photos but a shame they all had their backs to the majority of fans.

Good bit of fun I thought. Sure the players appreciated it

As long as the club is well run, we should probably make allowances if Alan Pace doesn't recognise Mark Ford or Neil Wood.

Alan Pace wouldn't know who Mark Ford is, but Neil Wood.

I wish I knew what that meant.

There was a settee at one corner of the pitch where fans could watch the game as some sort of sponsor's gimmick. The Charlton fans ripped it to shreds during the pitch invasion. Not sure whether the club/owner billed them for it.

I like it, but there's always another way of looking at things, Bosscat. Imagine if: Burnley beat Millwall PNE draw against or beat Bristol City Blackburn beat Sheffield United. It would be clear as day and never to be lived down by either set of supporters. The Clarets and PNE together, would have...

He took the **** a fair bit last season, but maybe not in the way you're suggesting!

Peter Swan and Tony Kay got done for deliberately throwing their game against Ipswich, and betting on Ipswich, Dec 1962. I think they got jailed for it, not that it helped us.

December 1962 would have been the season after, wouldn't it?

mickleoverclaret

Last time we made the quarter finals we won the division and got more points doing so. No reason it had to be one or the other.

mickleoverclaret

Best bet if you are local next year is probably Everton or City.Liverpool tickets are usually as scarce as rocking horse droppings.If you want a weekend away Brighton or Bournemouth are a good bet . Everton will be more difficult than usual I suspect because people will want to see the new stadium....

mickleoverclaret

Even the likes of Reading and Ipswich going up and then getting top half finishes in the early 2000s wouldn't happen anymore.

Loathe as I am to say it "cough cough PNE were also invincibles cough cough" 1885/86 season ... mind you it was in the jumpers for goalposts era

1888/89, only 22 games played by each club that season though.

mickleoverclaret

Maradona got linked as a manager when Venky's took over, I think. Venky's have really raised the global profile by taking them away from gravy swillers like Allardyce and Dunn and into the international realm with stars like El Diego, Ronaldinho and David Beckham now inextricably linked with the club.

mickleoverclaret

It smacks of something they've made up themselves so they've got something to moan about after a good win on Saturday.

mickleoverclaret

Yeah, mine came very quickly.

Their next five games look very winnable.

I hope you meant next 4! Lose to Boro at the weekend and it looks too big a gap to breach to me.

mickleoverclaret

I'm not defending them in that regard, their mismanagement for years is nothing to do with their current owner or manager. They have to play the hand Mel Morris dealt them and I thought they played it well last night.

Do you have a soft spot for Derby?

I do, as it happens, but I also have a soft spot for that style of football after 9 years with Dyche!

mickleoverclaret

Seems fairly obvious that Derby wouldn't play like that every week, just as we don't play every week like we did for the last half an hour against Coventry. They were up against a team with 5 times their budget, neutralised them effectively and got a deserved point, well done to them.

mickleoverclaret

I think they'll be out of contention by the time we play them.

Do we have any kind of future fee on the lad?

I've read we get him for £8m if we go up which would be an absolute steal.

mickleoverclaret

The seat map selection not working for me- anyone else having issues?

mickleoverclaret

The fact that we've gone 25 games unbeaten and are still third suggests to me we're going to find it difficult to overtake one of the other two in the final 8 games, but hope springs eternal!

I liked this post from the Redcafe link above.

"What happened to them? Their billionaire owner who artificially kept them competing well above their level left..simple as that."

Fair dos Hutchy, you've convinced me.

There will be people on here who only know Blackburn Rovers as a Premier League club due to their age

I doubt there are many people posting on here who died thirteen years ago, to be fair.

Starting to think C, he's laying it on a bit thick now.

mickleoverclaret

Look at Premier League history. Listen to the people out there who have no Burnley connection. There's a part of the furniture that is missing in the top flight. A prized piece that is recognised worldwide and missed. That piece of furniture will return to its rightful place very soon. That's when ...

Think your last sentence sums it up, a paucity of options at left-back. Hopefully this lad turns out to be the real deal.

mickleoverclaret

I'll answer that, but just consider the following first, Mick. In May 2023, Rovers finished 7th just missing out on the playoffs on goal difference. That summer, Steve Waggott tells local radio that the club's aim for the upcoming 2023/24 was to avoid relegation. You've just finished 7th, everybody...

mickleoverclaret

If the owners are so desperate to avoid promotion, how come they're always in the top 6 at Christmas in the first place? Surely they'd just stop appointing good managers or signing/developing good players and aim for 19th like last season.

mickleoverclaret

It's not always pretty, but it's been pretty effective.

mickleoverclaret

We're the only team unbeaten at home all season so it seems a bit odd to dig out our own fans on that basis. As others have said, the teams we struggle against are those who dig in and play for a point- teams are much more likely to do that away from home.

mickleoverclaret

The incompetent idiot didn't even have his spray foam for the 1st half. It only appeared at the start of the 2nd half. There was a free kick we got in the second half where he sprayed the line, then there was a sub that took ages and the spray faded. A West Brom player then stood 5 yards from our t...

This season we havnt carried that same momentum and energy in the stands. A lot will say it's the football but I think the truth is a section of the support are not backing Parker. I don't really get the sense there are many people in the stadium that aren't backing Parker, but if there are it woul...

mickleoverclaret

Frustrating but still plenty of games to go, as others have said that was one of our most difficult ones out the way without losing ground on Sheff U. Who knows, maybe Millwall will do us a favour.

mickleoverclaret

I'm glad you agree with me!

mickleoverclaret

Makes you wonder why all those reasons people can't attend midweek games when in the Championship aren't a factor when in the Prem. The fact people can buy season tickets knowing they aren't going to attend quite a few games maybe season tickets are too cheap. Still the match threads wouldn't be wh...

The update your details page never works for me either. When I moved house a few months ago I eventually had to email them to get them to update it at their end, even then they made an error with the new address and I had to phone them to correct it.

mickleoverclaret

That's exactly it. They did the same with JDT too. They don't want promotion and have shown this many times over the last 12 years. A disgraceful ownership that needs investigating. The UK Government was very quick to step in and take Chelsea off Abramovic's hands. They need to do the same here wit...

These stupid comments weren’t made when Ternent and Dyche clearly had no interest in cup competitions.

Of course they were, but Ternent and Dyche also had a lot more credit in the bank than Parker.

Imagine where we'd be if we'd nicked even a couple of those 0-0s with a set piece goal.

Who cares? The league is far more important. The only people who will give a flying duck are the ones with an agenda against parker. They will be out in force today.
