I think we're missing Taylor and hopefully he'll be back soon but do agree that a formation change might also help. Especially against Liverpool and possibly also against Villa and Chelsea. We've nothing to lose trying a formation change and we can always revert back to 442 if need be. ____________...

Dyche seems happy with our current (near fully fit) squad. The crunch time comes when Pace asks Dyche what is needed for us to keep our PL status but evolve into a more attacking/creative/entertaining team (i.e. a more ‘marketable’ product). Dyche might say to Pace ‘It can be done but it’s a high ri...

Anyone remember playing Whitewell Bottom? They had one player who played with his glasses on (and a chunky elasticated band to hold them on

) and another player with only one arm. Both were very good players by the way.

It's clear to everyone involved or has watched us this season that there is an issue with us as an attacking force. Its' more than reasonable to expect Pace to address this with Dyche. No one has mentioned attacking Dyche because of it or being armed with questions. The OP said looking at it which ...

If Pace wants Dyche to play a more attacking brand of football (a more marketable product) then he must ask Dyche what he needs to gradually move in that direction. Obviously recruitment of better quality players is part of the answer but imo better quality attacking/offensive coaching is also part ...

Defensive shape, tackling and blocking shots are all excellent and are the result of intensive work on the training field. But what about improving our attacking skills, are we improving or stagnating? Movement off the ball, powerful and accurate shots on target, clever variations of tactics for cor...

Would anyone else pay MORE for a shirt if it didn’t have that appalling Chinese betting logo on it?

Correct ICL. I’ll have to make the next one more difficult

Humphrys in central midfield is skilful, energetic and very direct. Another one to watch.

Dyche obviously doesn’t ‘rate’ Vydra (for want of a better word) so why don’t we sell him and get someone new in who Dyche does rate?

Is there an app which monitors THE FANS ‘player of the year’ and ‘young player of the year’ for Championship and Div 1 teams? Now that would be useful.

Mala591

We need a high tempo, pressing and (legally) aggressive start. Two goals in the first 30 minutes (Barnes and Wood) then hang on for dear life.

Why? Small shareholders have had no input into how the club has been run for years.

Thank you for your thoughts Mr Garlick. Might I remind you that Mr Pace is the chairman now.

Mala591

It would seem reasonable to expect Alan Pace to write to/e-mail ALL Burnley Football Club shareholders with a summary of the business plan especially the part of the plan relating to player recruitment and how it is to be financed.

Turf Moor is obviously underused at 90 minutes every fortnight.

I’d play the u23’s there (just open the Bob Lord stand) and have pop concerts over the summer months.

Where does the money/investment come from to improve the pace/technical ability/quality of our playing squad?

Message to Chairman Mr Alan Pace - please bring back our home u23 games CLOSER TO BURNLEY so they can be watched by Burnley fans.
Thank you

So,
Turf Moor has been mortgaged
The training complex has been mortgaged
The value of the players has been mortgaged

Do we still have £50 million in the bank?

Dyche obviously doesn’t ‘rate’ Vydra as a PL striker (too lightweight?) so:

Identify the best 5 strikers in the Championship and offer Vydra plus cash to each club and see what the response is.

Pace to Dyche - ‘You have £20 million and £75,000 (per week in wages) to spend in the January transfer window.’

What could be simpler?

I think it was ‘Crazy horse’ who played for Keighley Green first team who had to have two pints and a large portion of pie and peas before every match to ‘give him energy’

I wonder if Sean Dyche has ever tried that with any off-form players as a last resort

You’re right Steve, Paak Utd from Brierfield were an excellent team with some very skilful players BUT they had the advantage that they hadn’t been out on the Friday night before the match supping copious amounts of

Keighley Green was my team (1978-1985 then serious knee injury) the A team were in div 1 and the B team in div 2.

A 2.5% annual interest rate on a £170 million loan is £4.25 million (yes every year). I wonder where this money will come from?

Now, if ALK could persuade the Foo Fighters to perform live THAT would be something special!

So, if ALK borrow £150 million to buy the club then the club will be £150 million in debt from day 1 of new ownership.

As long as the ALK investment plans include the signing of one £25 million ‘quality range’ player every year for the next 5 years then I will approve the take over when the shareholders are asked to vote.

I just can’t imagine how it is possible to genuinely self isolate for 10 days.

Does the NHS help arrange supplies of food and toiletries when self isolating? Or do they just leave you to struggle through yourself?

Technical, pacey midfielder. Someone who can collect the ball from the defence and give the forwards more support. For ALK’s benefit, Factual Frank has the right answer. An athletic and technically strong central midfielder who is always looking for the forward pass and can connect our midfield and...
