Dubravka 7 One very good save early on. Walker 7 Solid. How have we managed to sign him? Ekdal 8 Didn’t put a foot wrong. Esteve 7 A solid run out. Hartmann 7 Cullen 8 Probably his best performance in a Burnley shirt. Les 7 Could be the perfect foil for Cullen Hannibal 7 Tireless JBL 6 That’s not hi...

Newchurch Claret

He was imperious today. A real throw back, with no little quality thrown in.

Newchurch Claret

Again, absolutely no problems, here. Easy, efficient, straightforward.

Ours arrived today. No problem whatsoever.

Newchurch Claret

I sat rebooting the screen from about 9.30 and got in at 9.55 with no problem buying tickets (i.e. the system worked fine). However, this “membership” tier is a joke. The fact that fans who’ve clearly spent years building up points travelling away to follow the team can be leapfrogged shows exactly ...

Some pretty noticeable absentees, unfortunately.

Newchurch Claret

My take on the JB position is that he’s been relegated twice from the Prem and promoted twice from the Championship (I think that’s right). He’s far too good for one and just about not good enough for the other. If he stays, he’ll do ok but ultimately won’t keep us up. If he leaves, we have the oppo...

Newchurch Claret

First off, he’s called Beyer. He could be under an intense training regime and was simply stiff when walking on the video. Unlikely but possible. You don’t have to be a medical expert, from limited video and photo evidence we’ve seen, to see that he’s still limping badly 18 months since the injury. ...

Newchurch Claret

He was great but isn’t big enough or quick enough to play as a centre back in the Prem. He’s probably pocketed a huge signing fee because the signing club hasn’t had to shell out on a big tribunal fee so may well have splurged some of that on him. Agents at work (I understand from other posts that’s...

Newchurch Claret

CJ is too small to play at centre half in the Premier League for a team like Burnley. He’ll suit a top 6 team who have the majority of possession, as we tended to have this season in the Championship. He’s perfectly suited to continental football. Go there for 2 seasons, flourish, turn up at Chelsea...

12 x 0-0

Trafford 8 Nowt to do but he looks very assured, now. Roberts 8 I’ve never been his biggest fan as he’s painfully slow but this run of form is as good as he’s played for us and he deserves credit. He was great today. Pires 8 Getting better with every game CJ 9 He’s a brilliant defender. The moment i...

Newchurch Claret

With respect I think this is a bit of nonsense. Who knows where we would have been with a different manager. As it is, we are in a fantastic position. We’ve still got Sheffield United at home and effectively we go up if we win our games at the expense of them. In my opinion, Parker has done a fanta...

Newchurch Claret

And there you have it. A team that tries to win. Wants to score. Wants to play attractive, attacking football. Fair play to Leeds. All those 0-0 results and the clean sheet record mean nothing. This could so easily have been Burnley with this talented squad but we chose Parker and, under his steward...

Newchurch Claret

Parker is entirely at fault for not being able to get the best out of a squad that is now underperforming due to his tactics. We are a far superior squad to Preston’s and many others in the league but he refuses to play aggressively against these teams, continuing with players in the wrong position ...

Newchurch Claret

Out. As soon as possible. I’ve watched Burnley for over 45 years. I can’t remember a manager that actively avoided trying to win games before. He thinks he’s a genius but his brand of tactic is already outdated.

Dyche would get this squad promoted easily if he was appointed tomorrow.

Trafford 8 Roberts 3 actor CJER 7 Esteve 7 Pirez 3 bad actor Cullen 5 the crab needs a Cork next to him but, alas, he has: Laurent 4 who is slow in thought and deed. Sarmiento 3 worst actor of the lot. Stealing a living. This lad’s not a footballer. Anthony 4 soft Flemming 5 League 1 at best in the ...

Newchurch Claret

Today was a must win.

Newchurch Claret

Nowt to do with position. He’s not a good enough footballer. Pretty simple. Stealing a living.

Let’s call this out for what it is: absolute garbage.

This will unlock the oxfords at home of this world and turn draws into wins which means we finish champions.

Agree, apart from swapping Luka with Hannibal.

Newchurch Claret

It’s a funny one. It’s only one game and as we have proven this season, particularly away from home, we do well against the top six. Our season is worse than it should be because of our results against the so-called poorer sides and our inability to be successful in attack against them, unlike Leeds...

Newchurch Claret

Leeds and Sunderland are streets ahead of us as attacking forces. I don’t necessarily think they have better players overall, though our lack of pace all over the pitch was frightening on Friday (particularly Laurent, Roberts, Brownhill and Cullen, who all are as quick as a road roller), I just thin...

Newchurch Claret

A minimum of 15 needed. If we play like last night, Leeds will trounce us so we need to win the rest.

We don’t score goals…

Newchurch Claret

That assist from Tresor is everything we’ve been missing and everything Koleosho is unable to provide, unfortunately.

Newchurch Claret

Yet another full back that’s quicker than Koleosho. This one is League 1 standard. His only quality was pace. He’s not got any technical ability or even a small percentage of a football brain. The injury has potentially had a huge impact on his career and his benefit to Burnley, which is really sad....

Newchurch Claret

Best for all concerned. I hope he does well and they want him permanently at the end of the season.

Newchurch Claret

Thanks for these great pictures. I was there in 1993 having travelled up from London, where I was at University, with a mate who was a Reading fan. We got beat. 1-0 I think. Very quiet drive back!

Trafford 7 Solid Roberts 7 Solid. Falls over a bit too much. Egan Riley 9 The best player on the pitch. Esteve 8 very assured performance Humphreys 8 great cross and very good defensively Cullen 8 excellent positionally. Laurent 6 a good shift but very wasteful in possession. Brownhill 7 solid Sarmi...

Newchurch Claret

As others have said, he should never have been let go. I said from early on that Kompany had a problem with experienced players, with younger, more impressionable ones easier to control. Kompany’s a narcissist who cannot comprehend people having a different view to his own. I don’t expect Barnes to ...

Newchurch Claret

Contrast with the atmosphere at Sunderland. Granted, that was a “big game” but the brand of attacking football gets the fans involved and off their seats. As Burnley fans, we have nothing to get excited or enthused about with this turgid Parkerball. It’s boring.

Trafford 6 Ponderous Roberts 5 Slow Egan-Riley 7 Esteve 7 Pires 3 He’s completely useless Cullen 7 Brownhill 4 Sarmiento 3 He’s also completely useless. Show pony footballer.

Newchurch Claret

He would be great for the dressing room , I do however thing we have more leaders in the squad than the last time he was here and it would not be a good enough reason to take up a place Fair point about squad numbers, but I imagine there’ll be a few out the door who’ve been taking a space for too l...

Newchurch Claret

Was it caused by the cringeworthy garbage the team does with the fans at the end of matches? It doesn’t my head in and I’m a Burnley fan. It’s so fake. Like the “let’s hear it…for Burnleeeeeeeey” from the goon with microphone at home matches.

Newchurch Claret

He was having a very long chat with Parker at the end. Regardless of whether Sheff U are in for him, we should be too. Exactly the kind of battering ram we’re missing. Take him on a contract ‘til the end of the season. Who have we got that is better? Foster? Hountonji? Don’t make me laugh. Great for...

Newchurch Claret

If Sarmiento had the touch of an average north west counties player he’d have been away, then. But no, first touch is 10 yards and he gets tackled. The lack of ability throughout this squad is staggering. And it presents the perfect opportunity to bring Fleming on in his preferred role, but, no, we ...

Newchurch Claret

Get Koleosho off, put Sarmiento there, bring Fleming on up top with Jay. It’s not difficult.

Newchurch Claret

I get angry watching this. I’ve tried to be open minded about it, but we’re nearly 30 mins into the game and haven’t touched the ball in their box again, let alone created a chance. We can even play simple 5 yard passes. I don’t care if you think I’m entitled. I ******* detest this football. I comp...

Newchurch Claret

Koleosho has lost 2 yards of pace since the injury. He was never a good footballer but was absolutely lightening quick. What we are now left with is a poor footballer who no longer has the key ingredient that made him dangerous. Shame.

Newchurch Claret

Parker on borrowed time. This is awful, again.

Thats not what Barnes said whilst on the pitch after the Middlesbrough away game?

Exactly.

He was far more effective than Jay 2 seasons ago and here we are, 2 years later, with Jay as our main striker.

It’s a joke.

Newchurch Claret

Why not try Fleming and Jay as a front two????? Exactly! 6 centre backs in the match day squad is also a joke. It’s time to try a 442 approach with Jay and Fleming up top. I see Barnesy is on their bench, too so we know what that means! 😬 What a stupid decision (one of many) letting him go, looking...
