Brownhill has impressed in this league as many expected he would, however I'm surprised he's been nominated ahead of a few other Burnley players. Beyer- Mr. consistency and it can't be a coincidence we've kept plenty of clean sheets since his debut, also his driving runs have sparked a lot of our be...

Never mind Reading's motivation what about Burnley's.

Could clinch the title.
Match our record points tally.
Continue our unbeaten streak.

Plenty of motivation for our lads on Saturday, certainly just as much as Reading will have.

It would be the ultimate irony if Rob Edwards was to take Luton to the PL after being potted at Watford in the same season. I'm baffled by Watford they seem to hire and fire at will without giving managers time to put their ideas into action. And it would be no surprise to me if Wilder went soon giv...

Fans completely had enough of him by the sounds of it. Always blames something else - the ref, the schedule, injuries, digs out individual players. Just a miserable character. I'm not surprised he's been potted, however I thought Reading would have waited until the end of the season, although in th...

Maatsen has been one of our key players this season, yes he's raw what do people expect from a 21 year old, but he's provided an attacking threat down the left all season, I understand some posters have concerns about him defensively, especially in the PL, but that is the role of the modern full bac...

Timing is bizarre to say the least, yes they've slid down the table, but it's only the 6 points deduction which has them battling relegation.

Let's add to their misery on Saturday.

Here's another stat 34 games unbeaten at Turf Moor in the Championship Incredible that and Forest presently hold the record with 36, so if we come through the QPR and Cardiff games intact we can equal them. A few more to savour. 2 defeats in 63 Championship games. 2 long unbeaten runs this season, ...

tiger76

Whether some of our squad can make the step up to the PL is up for debate, however they've breezed through the Championship, so most should be given the opportunity to test themselves against the best in England. There will be some departures naturally, and equally VK will be working hard to recruit...

tiger76

Definitely possible for us to go the rest of the season unbeaten now. On paper we've played easily our 2 hardest games in Blades and Boro, and won both with relative ease. Being greedy win the last 6 and we would beat Reading's 106 points, I don't think we will achieve that feat, but it will be disa...

I though tonight could be tricky, and for the first 15 minutes it was, however the moment of madness by Robinson was a game changer, that said we still had to had to break them down, which we finally did as the game wore on. Sheff Utd were certainly treading a fine line with some of their tackling, ...

tiger76

Brilliant from JBG again, talk about an impact sub.

tiger76

Strange half started evenly, then the red should have given us an advantage, but as yet we've not made the most of that advantage.

Surely one of Benson/JBG has to be introduced to stretch the play.

Tella causing plenty of problems though.

tiger76

Win tonight would put us on the verge of the title certainly. and it would also give Vinny a nice birthday present don't forget.

Plus we owe this mob for Bonfire Night and all the gloating they did that day.

Yes, some were.

Understandable given what happened 2md half at Bramall Lane, and perhaps another sign that Vinny is willing to learn from his mistakes and make the necessary changes.

Looks like Vinny's gone for a more physical approach to this game.

Well that is what many were calling out for.

tiger76

Finished 2-2 at Ashton Gate, good fightback by Boro, but really not enough given their need for wins.

tiger76

Surprised nobody has commented on Cork's return, Benson and JBG both on the bench as wide options, but no Zaroury is a blow if not a huge surprise given the way he limped off at Boro.

tiger76

Getting rid of Brendan Rodgers, I think he would have kept them up. Same with Leeds letting Marsch go. I can only applaud WHU for holding their nerve with Moyes. I'm not at all convinced Rodgers would have kept them up, sure he'd done a brilliant job for the past few seasons, but something drastic ...

tiger76

2 shots on target, 2 goals by Boro, can't say they aren't clinical today, thankfully against us they left their shooting boots at home.

tiger76

Dean Smith seemingly poised to take over, I'm not convinced he'll be the answer, but in Leicester's predicament they probably can't be fussy.

tiger76

An assist for Wells for Bristol's 2nd.

Probably too late to help Bristol much, but this could be a hammer blow to Boro's automatic hopes.

Boro grab one back game on.

Robbie Neilson has been shown the door at Hearts, They are sat 4th in the SPL ,but their recent form has been dreadful, and supporters anger has been mounting. Interesting timing given they have an Edinburgh derby at Hibs ON Saturday, and yet another manager who only signed a new 3 year contract las...

If you’d taken a box pops of Burnley fans at 6pm on 26th December 2015 you wouldn’t have found much positivity.

Ditto for straight after the Sheffield United away game this season.

Indeed both awful at the time, but in hindsight those heavy defeats were a blessing in disguise.

Was JBG injured at the start of the season? I'm guessing so otherwise surely he would have been involved.

Yes as was Jay. We really were down to the bare bones in wide areas and forward players, fast forward several months and what a contrast we have options all over the park.

tiger76

I though Twine would be our best signing and top scorer.

I also thought Barnes and JBG were past it and would contribute little.

I was massively wrong on both counts, shows what we fans know about footy.

If you mean currently he's on loan to Bradford in League 2, but he's not a regular for them, although he did come off the bench for the last half hour or so at Crawley on Friday.

A mark of our progress is the starting XI we named at Huddersfield that 1st game way back in July. Muric Roberts THB Taylor Maatsen Cullen Cork Bastien Costelloe Barnes Brownhill Our bench consisted of the following.

Our recent record would suggest yes, however it's making the leap to the PL which is the hardest part. Even during our 6 year stint under Dyche we flirted with relegation on a few occasions, and that will always be a risk for any club outwith the big 6/7. Leicester came top 10 in their past 5 PL cam...

Even in 2016 it was slightly against the odds. We knew better of course but I backed us at around 25-1 to win the championship that season. We were not the favourites, that’s for sure. Derby, Middlesbrough and Brighton were spending more than us. Derby, for example, had the buying power to steal ou...

Fitting that Rahm took the Green Jacket on what would have been Seve's 66th birthday.

And with that victory he returns to the top of the rankings.

He started the week with a double bogey as well, just shows like the Championship it's a marathon not a sprint.

tiger76

Maybe top didn't offer marsch the reassurances he wanted about next season, anybody who takes the job & if Leicester stop up deserves the season after, a fair crack of the whip none of this interim BS where there's nobody else & you might be in contention pending, cast iron guarantees you do the bu...

I think Arsenal are going to have to get something at City. Don't see City dropping points anywhere else unfortunately. Ah! well if Arsenal do get something at City then that totally changes the dynamic, I can't see it in all honesty though. And when City get on a winning roll they are a difficult ...

It presents an opportunity to a manager who's down on his chips & low in reputation & there's plenty of them, it could give that said manager a boost (if it's successful) somebody like a Dean Smith really or a hassihult (I know incorrect spelling) wouldn't have much to lose, it's only a gamble if y...

Over the hill gang Gary Lineker should step in seems to know about everything . Didn't do Newcastle any good appointing Shearer when they were in a similar pickle did it.

Normally a point at Anfield would be considered a good result, however given Arsenal were 2-0 up and cruising that late equaliser could well mean 2 crucial points spilled.

THe club is devoid of any planning.

Thats 3 penalties that haven’t hit the target for Salah this season!

That's terrible at any standard, but for a player of Salah's ability it's unforgivable.

That pen sums up Liverpool's season in a nutshell.

tiger76

A few thrilling finishes in prospect, however not at OT where Lancs have eased to the draw, 108 for Bohannon, unbeaten 56 for Croft, as lancs bat out the day at 247-3.

Big goal for Pool before half time, now we'll see what Arsenal are made of.

Bohannon and Croft going along nicely having added 130 for the 3rd wicket so far.

Leeds fans leaving early.

Palace have blown them away 2nd half.

Good luck Jesse because you might just need it.

tiger76

Typical Leeds they dominate, take the lead, then concede bang on HT.

We certainly shouldn't fear facing either of those next season, I'm assuming probably correctly both will stay up.

And the bottom 4 in danger of being left with plenty of work to do in their remaining fixtures at this rate.
