Not perfect defending, but it was more a good goal than a cock up.
Need to respond now.

If we want to sign young British players we have to accept you'll pay a premium. Your argument seems to be lets keep burying our head in the sand and putting in low bids that have no chance of being accepted.

Not at all, just we pay what we can afford, not what others can afford to waste.

As someone has pointed out further up Spurs paid about 12 million for Rodon from Swansea. Which would suggest thats a lot closer to the going rate for a promising young centre back from the Championship. No, it suggests that that is what Spurs are willing to risk. They can afford to, apparently, ev...

When you look at premier league transfers, how many are actually good deals. For every good player, bought for a bargain, there must be 20 that prove well overpriced and never justify the fee. The truth is so many clubs are still more than willing to pay those over the top prices, and hope it works ...

If Southgate saw the Man U and Liverpool games he will have seen the big errors from Ben in both games that have almost led to goals. Nick will be in the squad but behind Pickford and I don't think Tarkowski is ever going to be included now until he plays for a club that play in a different way to ...

No

Great to have him back, but definitely no

Colburn_Claret

Looked shell shocked in his post match interview.
Almost Blackwellesque, after the Reading game.

I think he's just realised how big a challenge he has in keeping Fulham up, or maybe the realisation that he can't.

Colburn_Claret

My stream sounded like Swedish.

He might have been brilliant, but I haven't a clue.

Colburn_Claret

Great result, very good performance as well. Not taking anything away, but their second string isn't any good is it. They are finding it hard, but if they get injuries or suspensions, they could fall off a cliff. Our second string however, goes from strength to strength. So good to get so many playe...

League

One day in the sun will soon fade when set against 46 days in the shadows.
No reason why we can't push to achieve both though.

Yorkshire

Sorry

Colburn_Claret

He'd have gone by now at any other club.
Ashley isn't keen on paying compensation, thankfully.
Couple that with the fact that it isn't an attractive job for any potential replacement, a real poisoned chalice of a job.
ATM they looked damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

Colburn_Claret

Surely he can do a lot better than Celtic? Would be a strange move to me. There aren't many jobs out there, that guarantee a champions league spot every year. Add to that the 2 horse race for titles and I could see why he'd go there. The lazy man's route to the top table. I like Rafael, and it woul...

Colburn_Claret

Cracking so far
I hope they can hang on, for so many reasons, but especially for Duffy

Colburn_Claret

Add me

Colburn_Claret

Sadly I can't see him staying, even with the new owners. He only has a few years left to realise playing Champions League football and pushing for trophies ( I don't think he'll go to West Ham). You have to appreciate the way he has given his all for the team and manager during this season. Many, ma...

No

But still a great result

Dean does seem to be a lucky charm

A good game, nothing controversial, but we do get more of these results when officiating

Colburn_Claret

Speechless, but so

Colburn_Claret

Brady ffs

Colburn_Claret

About as expected Brady has got into some good positions, picked the ball up in the right areas, but his use of the ball is bloody awful. In a game of percentages you'd think he could make one decent pass. If he's playing better than JBG, just how bad is Johanne. We can't ask for much more second ha...

Pope Bardsley Tarks Mee Taylor(hopefully) Brady Westwood Brownhill McNeil Rodriguez Vydra Bardsley puts a better ball in than Lowts, and occasionally has a good shot from distance. Liverpool would be more threatened by the pace of Vyds, and the spinning of Jay Rod, than lumping balls to Wood and Ash...

Colburn_Claret

If he'd done anything wrong he wouldn't have said anything.
It's West Ham that have insisted on this, so BFS has rightly dropped them in it.
I doubt the prem will punish them though.

Colburn_Claret

In a 4-4-2, Westwood and Brownhill will NOT be released to go further forward. A CM will only be given licence to drive forward or operate further forward if we play with 3 in the middle. In a 4-4-2, it’s not the job of our midfield to do this. They are asked to screen the CB’s and break up play. I...

Colburn_Claret

Watching Shaqiri yesterday shows what we've lacked since SD4. Someone to thread a pass between the lines. I think Westwood and Brownhill are capable of doing this but are too far behind the front 2 to play it that way. By the time they are close enough the opposition are defensively set. We have no ...

Colburn_Claret

We do need to mix it more, especially chasing games, but 442 has served us well. Its the individual performances that are letting us down, not the formation.
We need players to stand up and be counted.

Colburn_Claret

Glad he's out of icu, a step in the right direction.

Get well soon Steve

Colburn_Claret

There's only been 5 signings in the whole of the prem so far. It's hardly right to accuse us of not backing SD , when we are in the same boat as everyone else.

Colburn_Claret

The whole team is out of sorts, when it comes to creating and scoring. I don't think picking fault with any individual is right, because the thread could be about anyone outside the backline. They've shown in the past they have it in them, but to see so many out of sorts/lacking confidence at the sa...

Landlord is a great beer, but I don't like bottled beer.

Dyche on striker selection... “It’s not about loyalty," he said. "It’s about players I think are playing well, players that are active, players doing the job they’re meant to do.” Fair enough, seems they're following orders and doing their jobs. Maybe their jobs aren't to score 🤷🏻‍♂️ They are doing...

Dwight McNeil has no guile or skill on the ball? Am I watching the same bloke? Hes been nowhere near the players he was last season. Partly because the team around him is performing different to last season. For all his non stop effort, and twists and turns, who missed a chance that he set up.........

Maybe he should have said lack of effort going forward

It's called guile, or nous, not effort

Colburn_Claret

Really poor, got what we deserved You can't blame Wood and Barnes. We defend as a team, but we don't attack as a team. Brady, Westwood, Brownhill, Lowton even Dwight, have no ideas when we cross the halfway line. Lots of huff and puff, but no guile, no skill on the ball. All the passes into the fina...

Team look bereft of confidence, I don't know why after Tuesday, despite the defeat. The shooting throughout the team is awful. Robbies deadballs, are dead. Keep playing the ball behind the men out wide, so they are forced to turnback instead of try and get to the byline. So many things wrong, but we...

Good goal, but so sloppy giving it away in midfield

Colburn_Claret

Enjoyed that, a few niggly little mistakes costing us possession, but overall a very good, typical Burnley performance. I was dreading them sneaking one just before half time, so first job done. We always play better towards the Jimmy Mac, need to at least hold them for 25 mins, then if we're still ...

Colburn_Claret

Wood and Barnes are due, and they both know they owe us one. I think if Jay was fully fit, he would have got the nod ahead of Ash.
It would be a good day for them to hush the doubting Thomas's.

UTC

Colburn_Claret

I thought it was a pen, 2 players giving as good as they get, trying to win the ball. When Fernández thought he was going to lose the race he flicked the ball away from Sharps path.
Soft as muck, but a penalty.
United will probably get one for a lot less than that, tonight.

Colburn_Claret

Definitely want Sheff Utd to win.
I dont think it will save them, but the run Newcastle are on could see them end up in the bottom 3.
Every chance Bruce will be sacked if they become the first to lose to the blades.

At 21 you’re an adult. You’ve picked a profession, you’re earning money, and you’re able to take control of your own life, making your own decisions and working out the positive and negative consequences of those. Every player needs support, regardless of age at differing times in their career. Doe...

Team selection was fine
Subs were OK, but too late

All we ever do is change players, like for like
We need to start changing shape and formation as well as the subs. We are far too predictable, therefore our subs give nothing new for the opposition to think about, just more of the same.

Colburn_Claret

Pope
Lowton Tarks Mee Taylor

JBG and Brady a close call
Lowton only just ahead of Bardsley
The rest are nailed on

Very refreshing to hear Dyche come out state the following “ The chance count was really high, the chances on target & the quality chances - you have got to take them. "I think on today's quality of chances I have got to look at the centre forwards today & put a bit of pressure on them” About blood...

Really poor finishing first half, second half non existent. Wood is getting into good positions, and missing chances he should bury. I'm guessing that he's trying too hard. In training you don't even think about the chances, you just take them. In the game he's over thinking it, and missing because ...

Glad we're through, still feel for MKD.
If Sean can't look back at that game, and not see where the weaknesses are, in personnel and especially tactics, he'll never learn.
