That assist from Tresor is everything we’ve been missing and everything Koleosho is unable to provide, unfortunately.

Agreed...he actually looked up before he passed it.
Something Koleosho needs to do.

Foster had had more shots today than the rest of the team between the beginning of Oct until the end of November.

Foster looks match fit and well up for it. Key player for us for second half of the season. Game changer.

Tresor 5 years older. Look at his record in 2019/20 for comparison. It was 5 goals and 3 assists in the Dutch league.

Tresor has to stay

We win the league with that kind of creativity

Taffy on the wing · Post by **Taffy on the wing** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 5:21 pm

Tresor's a keeper....like a new signing & Flemming looks better all the time.
We're going up!

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 5:21 pm

This is only a League One team but you can really imagine what an impact Foster playing wide left of Flemming, Tresor playing behind, Anthony on the right would make to our output. Really hope this isn’t just a game to show us what we could have won with this player.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 5:21 pm

Flemming and Foster have to start together for me.

Foster got way too much slack on here this year. Our #9 barely touches the ball in our system Look at Barnes tonight.

Foster MOM and class above tonight. We do not need another striker with him and Zian

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 5:22 pm

We’re finally starting to see what Flemming can bring to the side.

Great cameo from him.

If Tresor was anymore laid back he’d fall over,he thinks he’s Berbatov

helmclaret · Post by **helmclaret** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 5:23 pm

Why didn’t Tresor show for Humphrey’s then and start walking back?

Foster from the left for me, fosters biggest attributes are pass and power running with the ball, not with his back to goal being the main number 9

Doesn't matter. He's a superstar now.

I wouldn't mind us going after Lily's lad. Charlie Savage has looked good in their midfield.

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 5:25 pm

I (and some others) said all year the system has been fine (good in fact) but we've just lacked the quality needed in the final third of the pitch... Tresor has proven that sentiment to be exactly right.

I really hope he stays and we can all move on.

Poulton-le-Claret · Post by **Poulton-le-Claret** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 5:26 pm

Tresor hands on knees whenever off the ball and then taking the easy pass when he receives it. Is he under instruction to just keep the ball or genuinely knackered already?

California Colner · Post by **California Colner** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 5:26 pm

Tresor looks like he’s spent

Goalposts · Post by **Goalposts** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 5:26 pm

Tresor hands on knees bent over. - looks knackered and disinterested. Such a strange chap. Because he definitely has ability

There’s a few minutes left in a game we’re winning 3-1. It’s called game management.

Against D1 opposition; perhaps affording him a fraction more time?

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 5:29 pm

The issue with Tresor is one of:

a) he doesn't care and wants out
b) he has had a bad illness or two
c) he is injury prone to niggles

If it is b or c he will be way short of fitness and frankly won’t be much use to anyone else either in this window. May of course be multiple answers or even all of them.

In fairness when was the last game he played? Not sure he’s even played in the U23s.

Not saying he shouldn’t be able to manage 40 mins, but he’s not going to be in the best of shape.

helmclaret · Post by **helmclaret** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 5:31 pm

So comfortable on the ball Ekdal.

There is clearly something wrong with the guy
Either physical or mental

Good run out that. Still in the cup and lots of minutes for our fringe players.

Excellent games from Sonne, Worrall, McDermott, Bauress and Foster.

Good cameo from Lucan.

Free Clarets Player commentary stayed fine all through.

Good win, decent performance and some useful game time for Sonne, Bauress, McDermott, Tresor, Foster, Worrall, Egan and Ekdal.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 5:34 pm

Good win that, with a scratch side.
Joe & Tommy both played well.
Lyle looked really up for it & Flemming getting a couple bodes well.
