Oh dear. From the side at Luton, to this. A LOT of work to do on and off the pitch. Delighted with a point today.

Absolutely unbelievable what’s happened to the squad in the last 2 weeks.
Where is Cullen?

That's O'Shea gone then I assume, based on recent reports and central defensive additions.

That's a top 6 side at best.

Only five of last week’s 11 starting.
We win 6-0 today, then?

We could have fielded a team of wingers last season; and now we have none

Praying Cullen is just injured and not the latest sacrifice to Alan’s Klarna.

If Amdouni can’t get in that team then he will certainly be leaving one way or another

It's a sign of the times when I have no idea who so many of the squad are. Hugill, McDermott, Masara? Never heard of them! Can only assume they're youngsters?

Not going to lie, I think that’s extremely generous.
Mid table for me without bringing anyone else in.

Slagged off 2 weeks ago saying we would be short of wingers and all of a sudden we haven’t a winger in the team.

An anon with one post said Cullen and Koleo are hurt.

From last week's squad the following are missing:
O'Shea, Cullen, Koleosho, Gudmundsson, Benson, McNally and Weghorst.
A few we knew about but even with Cullen and Koleosho missing it shows has much we have gone from a bloated squad to barely being able to fil the bench.

We're back in the Dyche era with that bench.

A week left in the window the board need an arse kick. Yep relegation means players have to go however this feels a step too far.

So maybe.
Trafford
Roberts..Egan-Riley..Esteve..Pires
Vitinho..Brownhill..Massengo..Houtondji
……..Rodriguez..Foster
Koleosho injured or about to be sold? Who’d know!!

That looks a long way short of a team that can realistically challenge for a top two position.
The bench isn’t exactly full of options to change it offensively.
We really do need to be bringing some quality into midfield, out wide and likely up front at well.
Such a change in a very short space of time.
What is up with Cullen and Koleosho?

They clearly don't know how much cash you get from being promoted to the Premier League. Even though they've experienced it.

First thing I said on a group chat, with Trafford and Zaroury missing with illness last week has something gone through the squad.

Feel really deflated. Classic Burnley to be flying top of the league to proceed flogging anything that moves for profit. I really hope there's a simple explanation for this side I.e bug in the squad otherwise we're in a big mess. Now I've said that we'll win today!

How do we not have better than Egan-Riley? That's a worrying sign to me. Where has the guy been last couple of seasons?
*Checks Wikipedia*
Hibernian and Jong PSV

This is outrageous. Is there a bug about? Why is Amdouni not starting? At least McNally could have been risked at cb. CJER is a midget.

With that side out, we’ll be lucky to get anything but a hiding. Selling off more of the “family silver” it seems.
As stated above, this mob would be lucky to get mid-table. SP must be now wondering just wtf is going on!!
