Burnley v Forest Thread

[boyyanno]

He really isn’t tho,he gets better service than our strikers get.I would’ve scored both of his goals today.

Have to say that's absolute bobbins.

Wood is statistically getting 1 in 2 this year. That's levels above anything we've ever had at this level let alone the current crop.

[JimmyRobbo]

Not sure they've spent £100million though.

Well, perhaps they should have.

They'd still have gone down.

[scouseclaret]

74% possession, 10 shots, none on target.

Sums up the whole season, and absolutely the wrong way for Burnley to play, especially in the Premier League.

[warksclaret]

Not sure they've spent £100million though.

No-nearer to £23m-about what we paid for Amdouini and Tresor. Who would have thought we finished below them

[hetheclaret]

One, you wouldn't have (you could be Robbie Blake for all I know...)

But if you put Foster or Rodriguez in this Forest team I doubt they'd get anywhere near 14 league goals. Maybe in a few years' time.

It's easy to criticise Wood because he doesn't do a lot apart from score goals. Hence some of the absurd criticism of Haaland this season (and van Nistelrooy many years ago).

Wood's record speaks for itself. Double figures in five different PL seasons in some pretty poor teams.

[burnleymik]

We have gone back to the days before that decent spell. All far too easy for Forest.

[Carlos the Great]

Luton spent nothing hardly and still finished above us … it goes to show this team is much worse than last seasons winning team.:: and we will find out soon enough

[warksclaret]

And people keep lapping up the absolute tripe Kompany offers up. They then expect him to lift this team to get promoted next season.

The blokes bust.

Yes TRIPE but both on and off the field

[JR1882]

We have gone back to the days before that decent spell. All far too easy for Forest.

Really hard to judge the standard of any opposition as teams don’t really need to do a lot to beat us.

[beddie]

I’m normally at every home game but I’ve been ill for a few days so not there today. It sounds awful reading this. Anyone know what the attendance is.

[RVclaret]

Disappointing half with the tone set after 1 minute when Taylor gets skinned alive.

Zeki and Lyle are shot of confidence and look a shadow of the duo that played ever so well in the reverse fixture.

[Newcastleclaret93]

I know people don’t like my opinions but this truly the worst Burnley team I can remember.

Does anyone actually like any of these players? None of them care one bit

[JimmyRobbo]

Luton showing how its done 1-1

The same Fulham we took 4 points from?

[Neil]

Really hard to judge the standard of any opposition as teams don’t really need to do a lot to beat us.

Yip. Sit back, don't make silly mistakes and then counter.
Hot knife through butter so many times this season.

Or remove the sit back part if you fancy boosting your goal difference.

[burnleymik]

Even with nothing to lose we don't look like getting back into it.

I really hope this second half they manage to turn it around, but not holding my breath.

[JimmyRobbo]

I know people don’t like my opinions but this truly the worst Burnley team I can remember.

That's a good question.

Would you not like Charlie Taylor? Nobody can criticise his efforts. Berrge?

Last time out we had players who had been with us and had vested adniration in the bank. A bit tough on new players who stand a hiding to nothing, really.

[hetheclaret]

I know people don’t like my opinions but this truly the worst Burnley team I can remember.

It's unfair to say they don't care. I'm sure one or two of them probably aren't bothered, but most will be. It can't be nice getting humiliated week in week out in front of millions.

But no, I find it hard to connect with this team, for the first time in my Burnley supporting career. I loved last year's team and it got ripped to pieces and replaced, expensively, by players who in most cases are worse than those discarded.

In most cases they are just not good enough to play at this level, and have been coached and directed badly all season.

[Vegas Claret]

I know people don’t like my opinions but this truly the worst Burnley team I can remember.

they've been smashed most weeks, confidence is massive in any sport, you surely can't be surprised by what you are seeing today ?

[RVclaret]

I know people don’t like my opinions but this truly the worst Burnley team I can remember.

I’d say they do care but the tactics and style of play make it all look very languid on days like this.

[Croydon Claret]

Hopefully this is the worst we'll be next season

[mdd2]

Doubt SD would put up with the indifference we areshowing

[mdd2]

Minimum requirement maximum effort

[alboclaret]

Funny that.
I was thinking whilst on for the 1st half, do I actually like any of these players.
Im dont mean on a personal note, clearly some of them have talent of some form bit I cannot relate to most of them. There's no characters at all. Keep has some personality but that's about it. Not to mention leadership. It's non existent in this squad.
I can sort of forgive today. I can't be arsed. Only managed 40mins before going pub. 1000s found something better to do on prob best weather day of year and a Sunday 4pm ko.
Maybe they can't be arsed aswel today.

Park View is getting busier

[kentonclaret]

I’d say they do care but the tactics and style of play make it all look very languid on days like this.

And on many other days before today sadly.

[Newcastleclaret93]

I’d say they do care but the tactics and style of play make it all look very languid on days like this.

You’re potentially right about style, I don’t know if it’s just the fact we are still used to seeing a Dyche side.

But I just don’t see “hearts, legs, Minds” out there anymore. Players are shying away from the ball. No one is willing to put in a hard tackle.

I can’t believe I’m saying it but I think I actually miss Brownhill. At least he looks like he cares

[Vegas Claret]

Doubt SD would put up with the indifference we areshowing

short memory there, we had loads of down days especially at the back end of seasons

[warksclaret]

The same Fulham we took 4 points from?

And the same Luton taking 4 points off Everton, who beat us 3 times this year. We could go on, but Luton look like finishing above us, showing how we have progressed

[Bigvince]

I know people don’t like my opinions but this truly the worst Burnley team I can remember.

If this is the worst burnley team you can remember Newcastle, you haven’t watched us for long enough!

[LincsWoldsClaret]

Hope JBG gets a goal

[gawthorpe_view]

Hopefully this is the worst we'll be next season

I totally agree, I didn’t even attend and I have turned it off at half time.

Used to love players like Marney and Barnes, weren’t the most talented but tried there best and weren’t afraid to get a foot in

[warksclaret]

Is that a recording

[Vegas Claret]

the constant chopping and changing of the side is a massive issue, you can't like a player when you don't know if they are playing from week to week or will be sold every window. Something the club need to think about, not too many in this team I'm fond of that's for sure.

[LincsWoldsClaret]

After he’s scored 2, VK continues to get Berge to mark Wood.
Impressive

[Newcastleclaret93]

If this is the worst burnley team you can remember Newcastle, you haven’t watched us for long enough!

Probably the wrong word, perhaps most un likeable is the better term

[Carlos the Great]

I like Muric Taylor .Berge …oh and I like your opinions

Yes I think you’re right. That first half I was sitting there going there just a not a likeable bunch at all

[Newcastleclaret93]

What are you gonna do next season when all three are gone haha

[kentonclaret]

Luton 1 Fulham 3

False dawn for Luton.

I read somewhere earlier this week that Kompany puts a huge emphasis on training ground performance when picking his sides - which partly explains the chopping and changing. If you have a "bad" week of training, you get replaced.

It's why the first line up of the season was so strange - I remember being at the City game and seeing the first XI and thinking that cannot be our best XI.

[boyyanno]

I don't think it's ever going to be a feature of Kompanys play. To some extent it seems he's keen to get rid of any of the players that still embody any blood and guts spirit.

I've no problem with Kompany pursuing his own tactics and style but it's come to this for me. I think Kompanys system works when you have the best players in the division (not just works but excells). But I think it absolutely fails when you're at the lower end.

The reality is this side is still so naive, he's still asking them to play a game that they just can't do on a consistent basis. I guess some people think in a few seasons these players will all improve as a group- but I strongly suspect that any successes will be sold on to keep us going.

Kompany needs to take a leaf out of Dyches book, more pragmatic next year, slightly worse football but we'll be much better off for it. We struggle to score and we can't defend- it's terminal. I'm amazed some people are still happy, but some have found their hill and will die on it.

[Robbie_painter]

Aye course you would pal.

He got them goals because he has great anticipation, movement and speed of thought.

Oh and he's still got a yard and is a big, strong lad.

Stop having yourself on, you'd have taken a shoulder off Esteve and fell over.

Chat ****,you know nothing.

[scouseclaret]

If this is the worst burnley team you can remember Newcastle, you haven’t watched us for long enough!

It’s absurd to say this is the worst Burnley team in living memory, but I think it’s the most out of its depth I’ve ever seen - relative to three league we’re in.

[Woody9229]

Amdouni - the Swiss Messi

[ElectroClaret]

Amdouni is utter gash.

[kentonclaret]

Luton 2 Fulham 3

Luton fight back (again)

[wbfc]

Per poind this is the worse team ...spinless in shape and fact...

[kentonclaret]

Amdouni - the Swiss Messi

Wrong spelling - Messy

[spt_claret]

Chat ****,you know nothing.

Says the guy who thinks he'd match the most prolific striker to not play for a major club in the last what, 6-7 PL seasons combined?
You'd be better than Kane for England and all I'm sure pal.

Never said I’d match him you cabbage,said I would’ve scored his two goals today.
