Seeing as we finished 7th with him in the nets I’d be happy with that.

Normaly I wouldn't believe much I see in the Daily Mail, but that item is so bristling with relevant and direct quotes from Sean Dyche that you've got to believe it. Excellent insightful journalism at its very best!

In other news Sean Dyche is a remoaner because he wants to see Burnley back in Europe.

I would expect he is indeed thinking about all his players, so the article is only stating the obvious with Heaton being one of his players and having made some very very rare mistakes lately.
I fully expect Tom to be in goal against Wolves, Pope may be on the bench.

Well if he does then Tom will be off even if we stay up.

As alluded to above, I've not been expecting SD to drop Tom just yet, but he had a very poor game at Liverpool and cost us, so he's lost a bit of the credit he'd banked and needs to be careful. BUT I'm sure Hart will be gonners in the summer so Pope taking his place on the bench for the remaining games definitely wouldn't be surprise and tbh I expected it 3/4 weeks back.

It was blatantly obvious on Saturday where the changes are needed.
Can't believe changing keepers yet again will help us score more goals?
Not dissing Pope btw.

If any one is to be dropped its Tarky
Other than Tarky he should be working on how we are going to score the goals needed to beat Wolves and Cardiff

Ben Mee needs to be dropped before Tarkowski.

The problem is that there isn't anybody on the bench who has proven to be any better than those who are playing (possible exception being Gibson, however it's been that long since he played regular football he could take time to get up to speed and that is something we don't have).

Logic would be to move Pope up to bench, assuming Hart doesn't have a future here.

Not a prayer that Tom will be dropped and rightly so one bad game since he got his place back doesn't mean Dyche will drop him,can't see Pope dislodging Hart who also hasn't put a foot wrong since he was dropped

I bet Pope would be offside less than Wood, play him up top alongside Crouch. Jesting aside Wolves are a massive threat from set pieces with Boli - we could do with a keeper who comes for crosses

although I think its needed....Toms put in a huge effort to regain his place and maybe its taken its toll...Pope has only ever had one poor game for us from memory and we have such a strong hand with keepers it would be potty not to rotate them if necessary...tom hasnt shown his true form in last couple of games so time for a rest.

I think their should be equality for everyone in the squad as performances dictate , seems Dyche has thrown this out with the bath water this season to his detriment. A few droppings here and there would certainly refocus minds I’m sure. Wolves and Bournemouth have become must win or mustn’t lose games.

The same was being said on here about McNeil after the Newcastle game but he stayed in, so I highly doubt Dyche'll change goalkeeper, especially so soon after Tom got back into the England squad. Wouldn't be surprised to see the squad be shaken up a bit for Wolves though, Dyche has previously made changes after international breaks

First it was all about dropping Hart for Heaton.
Now it's about dropping Heaton for Pope.
Who do we drop Pope for?

Isnt it in harts contract that he must be in the squad, if fit?

Tom, like Hart before him has done little wrong. Changing him is only masking deficiencies elsewhere.

Tarkowski and Mee have been average at best this season. The weakest links in midfield don't help them though, for the vast part of the season Westwood and Cork have gone missing.
We have little or nothing to fall back on and the problem isn't the goal keepers. We need to stick with and get behind what we have, and pray we can win enough points to keep us up

Surely it's just a case of resting Tom after his possible England performance? Pope is equal to Tom and we definitely need to keep the lad.
