I'd say he learnt from Heaton (or Mercer I suppose)... and it was evident that this is what Joe Hart was missing

JTClaret

Every opinion is as valid as the next but I hope your a head scout for a big club. You can reccomend your club pays 10m for a winger that's better than a 40m rated one. You will be a hero for the big money saving and Burnley can get a fee for a player with only 6 months left on his contract. Win wi...

My United supporting mates agreed very early on in the game that he was rattled and was struggling to cope with the attention from Mee and Tarks

Have Barnes and Wood been effective together since the 18/19 season?

19/20 started poorly and changed when Barnes was injured and Jay Rod was playing.
This season we are into January and still waiting for the attack to start being effective.

JTClaret

I thought the same as it was happening, although our attacks were coming down the right and very little on the left. With that in mind I hoped McNeil would move us further up the field, which it did slightly to be fair. We were so deep all second half, and I assumed this was on instruction. Barnes w...

He's constantly improving, and becoming very influential within the team.
I'd like to see him driving forward with the ball more, as I do feel he has that ability - but in terms of doing the job asked in order to turn things around and get points on the board, he's been fantastic.

JTClaret

I'm surprised so many are saying about the strikers. When we were in possession of the ball in our our half we were pretty poor, we didn't get the ball to midfield from defence well enough, meaning the midfield couldn't supply the forward line. That being said, we are picking up points now. Hopefull...

I missed the City count... clearly this was the reason for the result, not the enjoyment of a regular city spanking

JTClaret

I can understand this. A few years ago we would defend with the same structure and invite pressure as we do now, but there was a grace to our defending that doesn't seem to be there at the moment. Hoofing it forward does appear to be all we do, which is frustrating because we laughed at the 'anti-fo...

There's very little between him and Messi, absolute great, if not the greatest - and a complete nutcase. Shame some can't see past a handball, yet wouldn't mention a handball for a good number of others... including not only Henry, but Messi as well. Definitely not a case of being bitter: https://ho...

Wow... Which season was the Tin Count established?

72 beans

Whatever it takes.

JTClaret

Absolutely Tim. Gets some stick on here from some quarters, but I can never understand why. For me our most important and productive player, and the sooner he's back the better for me. I find Cork frustrating, as I don't see him being productive at all, simply running alongside the game. Although w...

I'd say the team spirit that made the team really tick - That Barton and Heaton regularly spoke about has gone.
It doesn't look good for us as a club going forward when there appears to be disappointment and frustration throughout the club.

JTClaret

I'd question Southgate EVEN more if he did call him up

JTClaret

I'd possibly still have him as the greatest. I watched this a couple of weeks ago, and it shows he had the ability of Messi at a time when you could get away with being hacked down, he was an absolute beast of a player: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCbUiiJoQYw&has_verified=1 The game has changed ...

Does this mean we could put a team out with nobody plying out of position?

JTClaret

Not sure if I've missed it... but has he said why? You'd like to think that if somebody voted against it, it was because they believed there was a better solution, and if that is the case, what was the proposal? If that was given then people would have the opportunity to question, disagree or agree ...

Sitting on the bench for us or playing regularly for Swansea?

They didn't think he could get ahead of a reserve left back on the right wing? No wonder they didn't buy him

So what is to be done now? Both Churches are institutions much-loved by many millions of people, which bring so much comfort and support. So the obvious solution is to take vigorous reforming action to make sure it can't ever happen again, which seems to be what is being done. So there's no need fo...

At the end of the film Spotlight, they list all of the areas where they had suspected/known child abusers in the clergy. Reading was definitely on that list, I also think Oxford was. I'm in between the two... If people are still willingly funding an organisation that's being repeatedly caught prote...

JTClaret

Church goers who attend without demanding reform are basically allowing the churches to get away with child abuse. I'd need to double check but there's never really been massive outcry by the Catholics about what their church has been found guilty of doing across the world. Again to bring it to foo...

JTClaret

Perhaps you could point me to the threads where people are defending child abusers. I’d like to have a word with them, if you’ve not just made them up. It is, however, nice to have a thread like this where innocent folk who happen to believe in the same version of God as the abusers aren’t being ta...

Great post. I'm finding it tougher at the moment. I actually enjoyed lockdown for the majority and as such would consider this year a great one (contrary to popular opinion). Time with my son, video calls with friends and family - my parents live on the other side of the world so video calls became ...

In the same way I do t often hear from the owner of many businesses that I am a customer of. Stop feeling so entitled because it’s a football club. Do you see yourself as a Burnley customer and not a supporter? I’d say if I was a supporter of someone’s business that I’ve invested my time, money and...

Let’s not turn the club toxic...
The team needs support, and we see it too often when fans turning on the board for wanting better players it’s never good

Bids coming in for Mee more like... You saw the goals we conceded right?
Long and Dunne - Didn't look tight enough. Long and Tarks - looked sloppy.
Try Dunne and Tarks, playing Tarks back on the right hand side, but the missing link at the moment is Ben Mee.

JTClaret

We can compete but choose to go a different way. Bournemouth, for example, had similar income but spent £30-£40m more each season . Which is why they have had to sell everyone with value after getting relegated. Because they were £200m+ in debt. Brighton's owner is chucking £50m per year at them. A...

I'm no expert but take the profit we made last year....then take away the number branded about in lost revenue due to the coronavirus this year and I'm sure you will have a fair indication.....frustrating yes but unfortunately we just don't have the personal wealth of an owner to back us up Thanks....

JTClaret

I'm sure he is but the problems between him and Dyche have been going on a lot longer than COVID Absolutely. That's why I'd asked if anyone could see the reason as to why we seem to struggle in the transfer windows. I have been able to praise the board for many a year, but after 5 years I'd have li...

JTClaret

I agree. It’s bizarre we bought Brownhill and not De Bruyne. You couldn’t make it up could you? Tinpot, sack the board, the sack Dyche booooo out out out! Come on. I'm not talking about De Bruyne here am I? This isn't like I was hoping for James Rodriguez and got Dale Stephens. I'm happy to see sig...

er, why do you think we earn a profit? probably because we don't offer the same as all the other clubs! We are considered to be run well because we don't overspend and don't spend what we don't have and rise the debt up whereas all the other clubs do. We clearly have a tight wage budget and with th...

JTClaret

Can I ask... how is it clubs can spend millions yet we plead poverty after 5 years in the prem? I understand it is well run, but is it? We turn a profit, but can't offer the same as (seemingly) any other club. What is the difference? I thought tv money was the biggest income of most premier league c...

I thought 11 was Ian Moore, but Payton would make more sense as to why.

JTClaret

Dyche shot himself in the foot by comparing it to hedge fund managers, it's as simple as that really.
People still see football as a community sport, but despite all the best will in the world, it's as community based as McDonalds - Which by the way would have been a better comparison.

JTClaret

It just seems incredibly short-sighted. We are still in the middle of Covid, why are these arguments being made now, when it still has the potential to cripple premier league teams as well as league 2. If the end was in sight there should be a plan and strategy for the top to help where they can... ...

I've no interest in women's football, and my son can't get over the game he watched in which the players couldn't control the ball, couldn't pass and then ran into each other - all in the space of 10 mins... he was howling with laughter. I'm sure that isn't the case all the time, but I've no interes...

JTClaret

My first thought was 'how old is he?' - It's not 'will' he be granted... I thought he was older than 30, and also felt like he'd been here longer than 3 and a half years.

JTClaret

Why don't they play fixtures postponed for this reason during the day, during the week.
It's behind closed doors anyway, and keeps players and clubs safe.

JTClaret

Oh come on...
Fans can sing 'We've only spent 3 quid" at a game, but if Dyche does effectively the same thing it's overstepping.

JTClaret

To me it's encouraging teams not to get tested and take the risk, especially lower league or cup games.
However, Dyched's comment above that Orient aren't doing their part to keep players safe sounds a fair one, but they did accept the testing.

Is another football lockdown coming?

JTClaret

Charlie Taylor is one of those players who make you realise just how good the team is. I was talking to a few mates and suggested I'd be inclined to say I'd rather keep Taylor than swap him for Shaw, Chilwell and certainly Rose. I'm not saying I'm right, but he is seriously underrated and constantly...

JTClaret

I think it's too soon for these types of financial help. There's a good chance that we won't be back at Turf Moor this season, and if that's the case a lot of clubs will struggle to survive. If a premier league team helps a lower league team, but despite this the lower league team still can't surviv...

JTClaret

It's all incredibly frustrating. However, Gibson was signed for when this time comes. The board did quite well in that respect, however, what happened has happened and we are now potentially in a position of needing 2 players of that quality. Whatever happened between Dyche and Gibson was obviously ...

I'm not feeling it. I might prefer the real thing though. I don't quite understand the one badge thing... either do it, or don't.

Oh dear, he hasn't done himself any favours there.

It was going for hours last night (in Fleetwood).

Initially I went to check the house alarm as I though it was that flashing blue outside

It looked great though

JTClaret

If we signed another player who is as good as I consider Long to be then I'd be happy. He's good enough for 3rd for me - A step up from him is Mee. For me an ideal scenario is we sign a young player who is currently as good as Long with potential to learn and become better. Rarely makes a mistake an...

If you look at the team Allardyce had at Bolton, you can look at the reason they are where they are today. It was never sustainable. We all want that team playing fancy football, but not at the price Bolton paid. My point was more the he didn't just play 'effective' football and that it is forgotte...

JTClaret

As a great... although he will be remembered for unattractive, effective football. Allardyce had Bolton in Europe, and can have a team playing decent football at times, but people know what he is known for and it's basically the same thing as Dyche and Burnley. He's at statue status for me whatever ...

It was a soft red card. But a red card.' Westwood made the most of it, but we've learnt, if you don't they get away with it - But it certainly wasn't as embarrassing as a lot we see and at least he was holding and rubbing the right place. He doesn't need to apologise at all, maybe a chat after 'sorr...
