For the love of God, hook Chris Wood. Just bloody hook him. Please.

ksrclaret

Another huge save from Pope.

We are absolutely all over the place. Totally, totally abysmal. Clinging on by our fingernails.

ksrclaret

Barkley hits the bar. Nightmare stuff for us so far.

ksrclaret

Villa absolutely dominating the space. We're like rabbits in the headlights.

ksrclaret

Grealish blasts one down the throat of Nick Pope.

ksrclaret

To be fair, Boden doesn't have a clue about us anymore.

ksrclaret

Christ. Villa nearly score again but the flag is up. We're really struggling here.

ksrclaret

Oh dear. Brilliant move by Villa.

ksrclaret

Brilliant videos, Bosscat. I'm suddenly transported back to sitting in my seat in the Bob Lord, absolutely freezing cold, watching the players jogging back inside after the warm-ups. What I wouldn't give to be doing that this evening.

Come On Burnley and Come On Madge!

Hope Jay bags tonight.

Yes, spending that much money on poor players won't do you many favours. Spending absolutely nothing won't either, though. Especially when that is mixed with players leaving and, let's face it, an ageing squad. Someone said on the previous page that we'll be left needing around 6 new players this su...

Potential summer departures:
Tarkowski
Bardsley
Lowton
McNeil
Brady
Long
Gudmundsson

I know, sorry, I wasn't doubting that we'd need that many - I was trying to convey my disbelief that we could ever manage that many incomings.

We'd need around 20 windows at the rate we operate at.

I've given up on it now. I just hope it doesn't come back to bite us when we have to try and find 6-7 players in one window.

Brilliant!

ksrclaret

A bad window is one where the vast majority of our rivals strengthen and we do not. If none of our rivals strengthen and neither do we, that is not a bad window. To spend money at a time where there is no value and no dire need would be reckless and very risky. Of the handful of signing made in the...

ksrclaret

Ah well, everyone. We go with what we have. We believe in the players we've got here. We're not market leaders, you know. There were a couple of maybes, but they went elsewhere. We were active, but we can't throw millions at it. We were trying to affect a few situations but you'll have to ask the ch...

In to a p1ss pot we don't have.

The rearrangement of the above should go a long way to explaining this thread.

ksrclaret

Hahahahaha. Classic. The boardroom still stinks a little too much of a herb belonging to the allium genus, for my liking.

ksrclaret

Just imagining what I’d have made of this OP if I’d have seen it a year ago.

Just who IS getting away with cutting footballers hair? I need some answers!!

ksrclaret

Was Sean O’Driscoll their manager back then? I remember he had an excellent spell at Doncaster which culminated in him becoming strongly linked to our own managerial vacancy when Coyle did the dirty 5 years later.

The toilets where I work have been kitted out with hard soap for years now. They operate with a hybrid policy of offering employees a choice of hard soap or liquid soap. The liquid soap can now be accessed by placing a hand underneath the dispenser, and a sensor will recognise the hand, and will the...

He's going to Celtic. Barrowford Celtic.

Christ.

I should think a CB is up there, certainly. Tarkowski is likely to go in the summer, Long will surely be released this time, Dunne too, and Ben Gibson will be off permanently.

I make it clear what’s mine and what’s someone else’s.

Somethings were right, some things wrong. When I get it wrong I hold my hand up.

I’m still happy to stand by most if not all my takeover info as I will Jones coming in and the Tarks/Dyche/chairman info.

McNeil?

ksrclaret

It was second hand info, as stated, so who knows?! I was told it was a championship right back, who was having a medical. You get slated on here for providing info that’s passed onto you. People can’t differentiate between information that’s first hand and reliable and second info that’s not even w...

Another poster named "uptheclarets" will be along shortly to like this post. It's the wife, apparently.

ksrclaret

I really wish we'd have signed him in July 2016 when we tried really hard for him. He's clearly got real class in front of the back four. I'm still not entirely convinced he suits the way we play right now, but he did have a very good game today. Like night and day compared with his first few appear...

ksrclaret

Excellent game from Vydra. Absolutely love seeing someone moving around up top, creating spaces, asking for balls over the top and in behind. Brilliant.

ksrclaret

Obviously this bloke on twitter is still labouring under the impression that the new owners have a pot to p1ss in!

ksrclaret

I feel for Steve Bruce in a lot of respects, but for the life of me I cannot work out how he gives Andy Carroll a shirt number, let alone a game. He's absolutely woeful and bereft of everything you need in a striker. On another note, great to see Saint Maximin getting ready to come on. He was one wh...

I've been so, so glad of that week end I had in Newcastle right at the end of February last year. The match wasn't brilliant, but the pubs, the beer, the mates and the laughs were and I've absolutely no idea when or even if, it will ever happen again! Not just about football, but there's very littl...

Aston Villa are an amazing side to watch this season. Outstanding football. What a job Dean Smith is doing there.

ksrclaret

I mean I’m not an analysis expert. But having a quick look at the stats. Jack Cork averages a goal contribution every 17 games for Burnley in the Prem, Brownhill has no goal contributions in 27 games. Jack cork averages 1.2 keys passes per game. Brownhill averages 0.6. Cork averages 21 forward pass...

ksrclaret

But it’s not an explanation. You have said that he is a defensive midfielder as if the rest of the team isn’t defensive. I would prefer an explanation as to how his stats are so much worse than the rest of the midfield. Offensively he is not offering the same as his team mates. I bet Cork's offensi...

ksrclaret

It’s just not an excuse saying he is a “defensive midfielder”. Everyone in this squad is a defensive player. At least they contribute going forward. I know there are other factors involved but I saw a stat the other day that Burnley with Cork in the team average 1.36 goals a game and with Brownhill...

ksrclaret

I find it laughable that you are having a dig at posters that are questioning Brownhill. not expecting Brownhill to turn into Defour. I would settle for him playing like Westwood. Get the ball and actually pass forward. There is a reason Westwood has better stats in terms of goals, assists, key pas...

ksrclaret

Very true. It’s the same with a lot of the comments about our centre forwards. Yes, our players are limited at this level and we have to play a certain way, especially the guys who start up front. You can change the centre forwards though to play a little differently and we have the players on the ...

ksrclaret

It's very clear what sort of player Josh Brownhill is, and what his game is all about.

And yet we still have posters talking about his lack of goals and assists. I can only assume they know very little about how our central midfielders are asked to play and what job they're asked to do.

ksrclaret

If he can get a move this summer, I wouldn't stand in his way. It's a short career and he quite understandably wants to challenge himself now to achieve the very most he can in the game. He can't do that playing for us. I'm still not sure what went on last summer with the toe situation, but I'd say ...

I don't want Andre Gray anywhere near the Turf again unless he's lining up for an opposition side, and I can categorically assure people it's nothing to do with any sort of grapes, sour or otherwise. I was delighted to see the back of him, and was totally gobsmacked when we received such a large fee...

Pope 9
Lowton 8
Tarkowski 9
Mee 8

Pieters 8

Really going to enjoy watching his post match interview. I wonder which excuse he'll fire up.

ksrclaret

Was v good tonight to be fair.

ksrclaret

Hahahaha Dyche vs Klopp. Big babies. Pathetic.

ksrclaret

Origi is crap. Couldn’t finish a plate of chips.

ksrclaret

Hilarious that Jay not being fully fit has been trotted out for weeks now. Along with Wood and Barnes probably won't play again if they don't score this time.

For all the assumptions that he’s an arrogant southerner etc etc, I always found Tindall to be a real down to earth and friendly bloke. He came across as quite shy and uncomfortable on occasion, rather than full of himself. Certainly far more pleasant to talk to than come of the current staff. Pleas...

Apparently Robert Snodgrass is unable to feature for West Brom tonight due an agreement that prevented him playing against West Ham this season when he left them, even though he's gone permanently. Quite odd I thought.

Conor Gallagher is a decent enough player to come in for him though.
