After that excellent point it really sets up for a huge winnable fixture against Watford, who are without this seasons best player.

A win would put us above Newcastle and Watford with games in hand on both, as well as a point behind Norwich with 3 in hand.

Hopefully with a few new signings and Cornet (if IC get knocked out) back the fans will be well up for it.

Purpose of a new thread is to suggest to Pace to put together an incredible offer to get a full capacity of Clarets in there. This is our West Ham at home game from 2018.

Biggest game in years for us.

Win it, get some players in to help the squad, and then have Cornet returning after this match and you never know. Our games in hand and ludicrously good GD (comparatively) could be crucial.

Bring quid a kid back for this and other initiatives. Pack the place out.

He might be back sooner.

Yep I’ll have an Egypt shirt on this Wednesday (apologies Maxwel).

Win, lose or draw v Watford, we’ll still go down.

At the moment, he is wasted being there as he's not playing. The more time he spends sitting on his backside the more rusty he'll be when he returns.

Yeah, it’s a bit unfair he’s taken away from us but isn’t even getting a minute.

Think he played 70 mins in their first game but not featured since.

It’s looking pretty full at the moment. We need it packed though. Everyone get yourself a ticket and get on to everyone you know that’s an occasional visitor and get them on too. We need to make TM a fortress again!!

Or the fresher he will be. The guy is a level above what we have atm. Get one or two bodies in this week and things will look a lot brighter.

The problem is since going off injured away at Newcastle on 4th December he's played 45 mins vs Leeds and then 70 mins vs Equatorial Guinea, the issues with the niggles appear to be the pace and intensity of the Premier League and his body taking time to adjust to it. The enforced break won't help.

Must win game. No ifs or buts.

Do we get to an impact sub point to work him back in?

Hopefully Ranieri is still in charge and we've still got Tarkowski.

We may have to if Ivory Coast play on into early February.

The problem with that is a lot of our fans will lose their **** if he doesn't start.

It is but today has to class as an important point, especially given Newcastle & Norwich winning, it was vital we got something just to stay in touch before we play our more winnable games.

Draws at Arsenal, Chelsea and Leicester suggest on our day we can compete, what's annoying is we've not yet turned up in the crunch games (Brentford apart), and obviously that will need to change, but the encouraging factor is the fight and desire displayed today, that's what we as fans have been demanding, and nobody can fault the lads for their effort today to dig a result out at a team riding high.

12 Home Games left.
36 Points
8 Away Games
24 Points

28 points from 60 to reach the magic 40.

Every week some of us keep saying the same thing but when you look at the league table nothing really that much has changed, our rivals are getting better results than us it’s ok now at this stage but eventually a stage will be reached where draws are unacceptable based on our rivals doing better if results continue to improve for them.

Agree completely, Saturday tea time, absolutely fill it. If you have stayed away for whatever reason, come back and roar the lads on. This could be as big as "that Middlesborough night." Who knows, we could also be welcoming new players to Turf Moor!!!

Slash them prices and get it full , we need it full for once it’s been like a library all season , I know it helps when you have something to shout about

Would tend to agree.

We put in a really good away performance today but I’m struggling to see who is going to score the goals to keep us up. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that we are going down but am already looking forward to us (hopefully) bossing the Championship next season.

Booooooo!!!

1987,Revisited,We stayed in the Football League then,With the same Passion and Belief,All Behind the Team TOGETHER,We can all surely DO IT AGAIN,AND KEEP OUR LITTLE TOWN TEAM,IN THE BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD,Dont forget ! UTC.

Seen as it's Liverpool and United next up at the Turf post Watford, usually the two highest attended of the season, it would make sense to do a 1 off special price for just the Watford game or a very special 'three pack' price for the three.

I don't see how they can reduce the prices, because most of the tickets have already been sold at the full price, Can you imagine the stink some people would make if they were charged more than somebody who they regarded as a 'part timer'. The club can't win if they reduce prices.

If the fans don't believe we can stay up then why should the players. Its not over till the fat lady sings.

I can't bloody go !!! We're in London (a trip planned round fixtures )

Never heard owt as ridiculous as reducing the prices for our biggest game in years, if anything we should be charging more.

Pish poor is our support and fan base in we can't get a decent turnout for the Watford game

Take your point but I don't think its ridiculous to suggest it would be great to see the club announce the match was officially sold out prior. But yeah, hopefully people recognise the importance and cough up regardless.

The support should be unconditional without trying to rinse people.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be just reducing ticket prices.

Anything to improve the atmosphere would be welcome.

I went to the Bruges derby a few years ago in the Club Brugge end, and everyone was given a flag on entry. At the very least, a flag or scarf would get people up on their feet, and more involved in the atmosphere than they otherwise would be.

I'm not sure someone who refuses to go to games because the players kneel down for a few seconds before a game should be preaching about "unconditional support".

Burnley gave flags away for a big game v Cardiff 3/4 years ago. The atmosphere was good that game and we got a vital win.

That’s different than somebody charging a few quid extra, I don’t want to support the BLM movement or any action linked to that but I’ve supported all other anti racism groups/initiatives. If you want to promote a feel good factor pre Watford you make the effort to actively engage.

You do realise that going to watch Burnley is to support Burnley and not "the BLM movement"

(Taking the knee is not supporting the BLM movement but that will never sink in with some folk)

Seems my response to comments like this up was “moderated”. So I’ll use some less pointed language. Unconditional support is not a requirement, but stupid comments like this help no one. We’ve plenty of opportunities to stay UP whatever the Watford result. Seeing Foulbreath is resigned to us going down maybe they should go watch Accy or Colne.

Oddly, if you look at the bottom four, and given our vastly superior goal difference, if we draw all our games in hand we will be out of the bottom three. Not perfect but it’s a nice thought.

With the later kick off time a lot of fans, me included will be well oiled and with lubricated vocal chords it should rock. UTC I just get the feeling after today Wood going was our turning point. I did hear that he was becoming a bit of an irritant around the place.

I know 6pm kick off is an inconvenience for a lot of fans, but there is always something sow it for me with a big game and the floodlights on.

Get behind the lads

That’s possible depending on what the others do draws could keep us in contention, would you be confident us going into the final game of the season & needing to win & other to lose to be ok or would wins be better now to avoid that potential situation?

We need to be safe before the final game. It’s got to many links for it to be anything other than a disaster for us.

Problem being we have Man Utd and Liverpool in the following week both at home.

Sadly Watford despite being a bigger game won't appeal as much to some as seeing Ronaldo or Liverpool live.

Should be a good game and hopefully we will have a new signing or two to attract fans into the ground

6pm kick off too I believe so it’ll be under the lights. Makes for a cracking atmosphere.
