With several of the new directors having connections with the church I posted earlier in the week that we might be needing some divine intervention for the remainder of the season.
With the clamour of many on this message board for the ALK deal to be completed before the start of January to enable the release of funds for transfers, expectations were certainly raised a notch or two.
It seems now that the timing of the deal was a False Flag.
And the phrases nearly always used on Sky commentary when covering Burnley "Just lacking that little bit of quality in key areas" "You have to admire their work rate" Martin Tyler commentating on any live match "Did you and Jamie play in that game 20 years ago Gary, when there was an incident very s...
Always a problem managing expectations. All of the talk during the final weeks of December was centred around the ALK takeover being completed by the 1st January, to enable fresh funds to be made available for some squad strengthening to help us to climb the table. When the hoped for signings don't ...
When Brownhill joined Burnley SD remarked on his impressive energy and work rate ignoring the fact that the player had scored 5 goals in each of his last 2 seasons at Bristol City and with some added assists. At Burnley in the PL thus far Brownhill has recorded neither a goal nor an assist. Having s...
Agreed CT that there will not be too many incomings or outgoings, and those that there are will mainly involve clubs needing to try and dig themselves out of a hole and avoid the drop. Most of the bigger clubs will wait until Summer.
If the "better players" don't arrive this January window, which at the moment seems very unlikely given the talk of very limited funds, it looks as though we will have to try and tough it out with what we have.
Since Burnley lie 20th in the table for goals scored in the final 20 minutes of games, perhaps the penny will drop with SD that bringing on a fresh pair of strikers to grab a goal with 10 minutes remaining isn't really working.
Newcastleclaret93 wrote "Brownhill is particularly poor going forward" With 0 goals and 0 assists for Burnley in the PL he certainly has a point. However, I noticed from a stat put up during a match the other evening that Josh Brownhill is very close to the top of the PL chart for making interceptio...
The stat shown last night that BFC have one of the worst records in the PL (20th) for scoring in the final 20 minutes of games, surely proves that SD"s tactic of bringing on a fresh pair of strikers for the final 10/15 minutes isn't really working. May as well give them 30 minutes and see if things ...
