Re: Didn't replace Keane, no cover for Heaton.
As an aside, I watched Anderson playing for Port Vale at Stevenage on Saturday and thought he was run ragged by Danny Newton - in his first season as a full time pro - and Matt Godden. On that performance alone I don't see Anderson being anywhere near a Premier League defender and think he would str...

Re: Not born in Burnley never lived in Burnley but still a Claret?
Born raised and lived all my life in Hertfordshire! Big brother chose to support Burnley because he liked the colours( circa 1960 he would have been 10). I recall seeing him upset in May 1962 and have hated Spurs ever since. We lived near Potters Bar at that time 15 minutes by train from Arsenal. So...

Re: When was the last time for you that we signed a player and said WOW ?
Ian Wright....the only time for me as well.
Was behind the goal at Gillingham when he scored his first for us, wonderful moment....."Ian Wright scores for Burnley" almost surreal at the time. Oxford away was his best Burnley game for me though. Brilliant.

Re: The Westwood sub.
In my player scores I mentioned Westwood giving us the fresh legs to see the game through, funny though I thought Arfield would have gone off because I thought he was flagging after a great shift in the heat. Game of opinions I guess.

Re: Deadman & Coote axed
Deadman Refereed a pre season friendly at Stevenage (V Norwich City 3 weeks ago). I left at half time as he was destroying that game with his customary ineptness, now if they get rid of Mr Kettle as well (if he hasn't retired) that would perhaps send a message to other referee's to "up their games"

Just my opinion obviously but this defeat was about attitude. It looked like the team approached this game with a "we're Premier League playing anon-league team" attitude. Doomed to fail form the start. If you take to the pitch with that mindset you cannot change it across the team during the game. ...
