Apparently Couch (not Hugill) got the assist again last night.
So his last 4 games (3 wins and 1 draw) are goal, assist, goal, assist...wonder what he'll get v Everton away this weekend if he's selected ?

GOAL!!!

And to rub salt in...he's one of our own...Burnley lad.

No he's definitely released Mattster

This week he's apparently already been invited to trials with Salford, Blackpool and..... Cyprus top of league Apollon this week and no doubt lots of other clubs now after this last 2 month's goals and assists with no losses in all his appearances. It's a bit like the Bryan Robson story all over aga...

ClaretTony...Couch, Smythe- Ferguson and Behan were the 3 lads tonight who also featured in the Rovers win. Coppack and Hamilton have scholarship extension, others you mentioned are also released.

Again, the same 3 lads that have have been released by Burnley played again tonight and again gave it their all v Man United as they did against Rovers last week.Now that's the guts and resilience needed nowadays ...well done indeed.

Will Couch's winner at Middlesbrough

....these are the released Will Couch's last 3 games for Burnley U18s.
Middlesbrough 0- 1 Burnley (goal)
Burnley 1 -1 Sunderland (assist)
Blackburn 1-2 Burnley (goal)

It's a brutal very subjective game.

It must have been a real boost for all the BFC academy yesterday when the new Chairman tweeted his congratulations for a 1-4 victory at Manchester United https://twitter.com/AlanPaceBFC

It must have been a fantastic lift for the Academy and its lads yesterday when the new Chairman publicly congratulated the U17s on their 1-4 victory v Manchester United yesterday in the Premier league cup https://twitter.com/AlanPaceBFC

Over a week ago now but some fantastic goals all round in this match

Here's more interesting information about Burnley's buying model.

Billie Bean is the guy that the film Moneyball was based on. In this short documentary he uses Burnley and Manchester United as an example of his Oakland budget versus New York Yankees https://youtu.be/lLcXH_4rwr4 Very interesting as we enter the silly season of buying and selling players. Fame at l...

Agreed all......look at some of the players coming through now from Cat 1 academies. Greenwood at Man United, Foden Man City, 2 lads for Liverpool today. Our academy should either produce good lads for us or decent lads to sell. What a result today....UTC

I echo ClaretTony and other positive comments PLUS ..my Cat 3 to Cat 1 analogy is likened to this in business . We've gone from local then regional buyer and seller of products to multinational. We'll attract many suitors (players and businesses from all over the world) and everything must have a va...

2 old sayings jump out to me regarding this article and our current or indeed any government 1. You're damned if you do or damned if you don't. 2. Hindsight is an exact science. Sure we've made mistakes and too many lives have already been lost. Covid19 just wasn't on anyone's priority list until it...

Firstly I can only endorse the positive comments made by others following Dwight's involvement alongside young academy lads here last week. https://twitter.com/BurnleyOfficial/status/1250357707623862279?s=08 He appears so grounded and humble ie a perfect Burnley player and role model . So...How long...

This video is quite an interesting insight into Burnley's plans. https://youtu.be/PcphxlJq2uY

There's a couple of points worth mentioning.
1. Barnfield rather than Gawthorpe seems to have now become an area near Padiham.
2. Dwight Mc Neil seems to have been overlooked as an Academy success story.

Here's Dwight with BFC academy lads including Will Couch mentioned in earlier posts

Just for ClarEty or Clarity....the lad mentioned earlier in these posts is Will Couch NOT CRouch but he does have an Uncle Peter Couch and not Peter Crouch. He is known as Couchy and not Crouchy and he is U16 although he is still only 15 (August). I trust this is as clear as mud. Regards Crouch Pota...
