I had some concerns when ALK took over but it seems to be working out alright. I’m sure there will be risks as well as potential benefits to this but the business element is beyond my understanding so I’m just interested to see what happens and if it goes ahead how Espanyol perform. The world moves ...

Because the league is a competition and the aim should be to do your best, in this case get promoted. Whether that happens and, if it does how next season goes, remains to be seen but the interest is in trying and finding out. The lack of this approach to cup competitions is why they are now pointle...

Watched on TV but having been to other 0-0s this season I thought it was just more of the same. If rating the players I would say Defence 9 Midfield 7 and Attack 5. Unfortunately, and notwithstanding the Plymouth game, I can't see that changing much but hopefully the next run of games will prove me ...

Since62

Better and two great goals in the second half but still not convinced about the forwards. Need to carry the momentum forward into the holiday period.

Since62

All been said above. Another unsurprisingly poor performance all round and particularly in "attack".
Can't see Flemming, Foster or Hountondji making any difference in the medium term. Could see this squad sliding into mid table.

Don’t live locally so ordered online. Great memories. Hope it sells well for him.

Since62

For me the last bit of character left the club when Ashley moved on. No fun in the current squad or the football they play.

Since62

Travelling, costs, weather, Sky TV etc are all relevant but for me the lack of quality in attack has taken most of the excitement out of the game. I have been to two 0 - 0 draws this season and yesterday (from my armchair) was no better. I don’t expect every performance to be good and I’m not partic...

I recall that the first I heard about his signing was a short newspaper article!
Still remember him and Fletcher in front of the Longside after the Sunderland win in 1973.
Imagine one of today’s signing being pushed around the ground in a wheelbarrow

I'll do a bit of name dropping here and report that Dobbo phoned me around three weeks ago about his book and maybe arranging a book signing session. I suggested speaking to Barry Kilby about using the Royal Dyche (he'd done one there). It's going ahead this Thursday there from 1 until 3 p.m. if an...

Still no commentary for me though from this thread it looks like I haven’t missed much!

Since62

Still no commentary on Clarets+
I have e.mailed them and they are "aware of an issue"

Since62

Probably showing my age but this style of football is not for me and no real characters in the team to get behind. Doing well but not much fun.

Since62

A more enjoyable game than last week won by the better team with a good goal.
Starting to slip down the league now due to lack of goals and nothing to suggest that this will change.
Difficult to support or care about this Burnley team.

Since62

That was the second game I have attended this season, just a repeat of the 0-0 at Oxford.
The words I noted in CT’s report are “tedious” and “bored” I know they are second in the league and football has changed etc but it’s just not an enjoyable experience watching the current team.

Since62

If he is happy to stay then great but he deserves to playing in a better squad at a higher level.

Since62

Much like the previous two games, a disjointed performance with little goal threat.
Esteve apart the players look average championship standard and the current table flatters us.

Since62

Got to be happy with the way it’s gone so far but after a prolific start I do wonder where the goals are going to come from. Would we have scored last night without the penalty? Foster often doesn’t seem to be in the right place or stand up to pressure from defenders.

Since62

My first game of the season yesterday.
Slow tempo, still playing around at the back.
No real threat.
Missed two good chances.
A point away and fourth in the league but it was the definition of a bore draw.

Since62

The clue's in the name!

Voted for him after the last Championship season and just what we need this time. Also great to hear about the atmosphere at the club.

Since62

Not interested in the FAB.
Only 2 things matter to me
1) Is the club financially stable for the future - I don't know and there is nothing I can do about it.
2) How are the team performing on the pitch - fine so far this season and it can only be better if supporters get behind the players.

Since62

I feel we've signed some good characters this last few weeks. It's so important to have these if we're planning on promotion and probably what we didn't have enough of last season. Great interview. Totally agree that we seem to have signed the right characters with a good mix of age and experience ...

Cracking window for Burnley got over the odds for our in demand players Berge Odobert and O’Shea. And managed to get rid of a lot of accumulated deadwood,who were mostly lacking any kind of desire to play for this famous football club. Roll on tommorow hopefully 11 on the pitch and 9 on the bench w...

My summary:
1) Delighted the squad size is being reduced.
2) Decent money coming in or being saved.
3) SP building his own squad from which it's up to him to create a team.

How that team performs remains to be seen but I'm looking forward to finding out. UTC!

Since62

Some of our own prospects coming through to the first team would be good but I'm not sure how likely that is.
The other point about the Championship is that some supporters enjoy it more than the PL so a 1-0 loss at Sunderland is not necessarily a big deal.

Since62

Don't want to go over lots of old ground but this is what happens if the policy is buy to sell rather than buy to strengthen. I'm hoping that once the 25 squad members are named (whoever they may be) then SP will be able to create a team. That said it may not be a promotion winning team but at least...

Hi Brucefan, I went to the club site to buy the audio commentary, but it mentioned: 'Available in selected territories'. I'm assuming that the audio is not available if you are in the UK. Am I correct? Are you located outside the UK? Thanks. Audio only in UK (I'm listening to it) but now seems to b...

Looks like you now have to pay £2.50 to listen to Phil Bird!

Since62

Obviously disappointing but no surprise. Players always come and go but this policy to rapidly turnover of the squad makes it more difficult for me to get behind the team. As others have said just no longer as connected to the club. Hopefully a few will stay to become the core players. UTC.

Since62

Is there still commentary on the website? Can't find anything.

Since62

Thanks for the photo Bosscat, makes me feel more like I'm there!

Great interview and exactly what we need to build the connection between players and supporters.

Since62

The difference for me is that Ralph and Kieran were part of the club while Wilson was just passing through.

Since62

You’re probably right, in which case no point in the competition. Was just hoping they might take it seriously.

Looking forward to seeing how our new team gets on against a Premier club.

Watched it all and that’s the last I ever want to see or hear of VK.

Since62

Of everyone involved only Checketts seemed to understand what was required.
Hopefully AP has learnt a lesson and SP can sort out the mess left behind by VK.
We will have a little better understanding by 10.00pm tonight.

Since62

Clearly I would prefer not to lose the better players but I feel it is also essential to move on those who have no part to play, not just for financial reasons but to bring the squad together as a team. I would hope that those who realise or have been told that they will not be involved will be keen...

It’s gone, forget it.

I was expecting an increase in the number of games available but on the basis that you would have to pay for any game you wanted to watch, as previously on iFollow and I was certainly surprised about the number of games to be shown. Whether you like the idea or not probably depends on your personal ...

I am not involved in this other than having made a donation to what seems to be a good cause so can add nothing which is not on the website and which has a lot of information.
There is also an X account.

A community group are hoping to buy this land and rewild it for nature, wildlife and people.
I was up there recently and thought I would post this for anyone who might be interested.

Don’t want to be one of those who says things were better in the past but in this case………….

Since62

I’m expecting a decent showing and a much more enjoyable season but not assuming anything. A few other clubs will also have high hopes of promotion and the team will have to fight for it. UTC.

Since62

Just give the man on the turnstile half a crown and you’re in!

Since62

No need to see pre season, just let SP assess the players and then move on those he doesn’t want. Once they have gone it will be looking good to me.

Since62

Not too bothered who goes, stays or comes in but I am looking forward to getting the squad down to about 25 players that SP wants and can manage to create a cohesive team.

Since62

It seemed to me that it was just drawing attention to the fact he had not done very well against us as a manager.
I want to feel positive about this appointment and look forward not back.
