The Official " Knee Jerk" thread

Post by lakesclaret » Sat Feb 18, 2017 7:44 pm

I've noticed many comments from Dyche being poor and maybe time to move on,Heaton unable to distribute and " relegation starting to feel a possibility" :lol:

I just thought I'd start an official thread for the mix of blood boiling rage and soiled underpants that always seems to accompany a defeat.

We were crap,we lost,the end

We put out a strong team. In fairness stronger than I had anticipated. What got me is that only Joey seemed to be hurting from the humiliation which is why I think he reacted so badly. The others did not seem to care (They certainly did not show it). Considering what they get paid they should be hurting

I have to disagree, I don think it was a strong team.

It's a strongish team but Sam is too immobile so easier to defend against and the full backs don't allow us to get forward like Ward and Lowton.

And without four of our best five players in possession it's tough

That said we still should have had too much.

I never expected Heaton to start -that's why I said it was stronger

Can we have an "official Jerk off thread " when we avoid relegation ? :D

Do you think we could have fielded a strong team, today?

Heaton wasn't where we needed strength though

Sam is no threat if we don't get decent balls up to him or crosses into him. We didn't, so he wasn't

Ultimately would having Lowton and Ward in the side have made that much difference today? Bad day at the office

Would have given us more width and stretched them made them work harder

Yes, absolutely it would.

Lock the manager and players in Turf Moor and burn it all to the ground. This is the only sensible option.

When you breakdown the players we have on our books Ward is absolutely critical to how we play possibly more than any other player,, especially in attack. I cannot for life in me understand why Sean didn't bring him on today around the 55 minute mark.

First defeat in a while at home . Which will be followed by a reaction and performance at hull giving 3 points . As one record breaks this season another does away . COME ON CLARETS!!!

**** me! Let's not use excuses of the wrong full back pairing or anything else, it shouldn't matter. We were poor but whoever we put out from our squad should have been able to comfortably beat Lincoln. Anything else is just a poor, poor excuse.

It reminded me of that Watford quarter-final game. I thought that we were playing for a replay.

Europa league. We're down. Established premier league. Lump it and hope. Manager is a genius. One dimensional numpty. Have I covered everything?

I'm a bit ****** off hearing all these excuses why we lost. We got beat to a f&$@€/g conference team. I'm sorry but the man at the top takes the flack. We didn't just get beat they out played us. It was embarrassing. And this ******** about the league is our priority, we are not going down and an FA cup run would risk our league status.
