He knows we are looking down the barrel - same words, same solid performances, same details. Luck's out with no help from any officials all lead to a not quite good enough team. He needs to find something quickly and make some drastic changes,as he has been forced to do in past seasons, which eventu...

Over reactions ???? We've won five game's out of the last 33 league game's, just think about that for a minute How many at home is it now this calendar year? 2 so far? Over-reaction, we're having a laugh!! This was the worst of the lot when you take into account the opposition. Newcastle were absol...

Rightho, time to log off and disappear now all the doom mongers are here

I think the only positive tonight was Charlie Taylor & Collins again. The rest technically were abysmal.

diamondpocket

Garbage & a team without intelligence and any attacking ideas. This is a performance of a manager who doesn't know what to do any more with these players and doesn't trust any other approach, we'd be better just defending and keeping it tight. This league has moved on & become more intricate & intel...

Shambolic & absolutely clueless going forward - get it wide and pump it in or pump it long. 2nd balls, forget that, our 2 central midfielders are 25 yards away from the box yet St Max still flies past them 4-4-2 has gone Sean - we're going down with these tactics! How to destroy a young player, in D...

Didn't like listening to the female commentator - too many classic football phrases just used at the wrong moment After a cross and a corner for Wolves "& the crowd are enjoying this tonight" just because they burst up an applause for the corner!

It’s about time Jay cut those locks off. He spends just so much time poncing about with that bun but tonight was ridiculous. After the nose bleed and change of shirt, he couldn’t seem to get it tied up properly and kept having to adjust it to the point when he finally had to settle for a splayed ou...

This just came up on my Youtube homepage. An interview with The Beast.

Forthright as ever big Brian, funny interview. Someone needed to tell him to chill out, it was only Ireland. Imagine if it had been against Denmark!

diamondpocket

bad home draw after the Euros win versus Bulgaria and that last min pen last week has cost them. But fair play to Switzerland, no mugs in qualifying and generally always make it to the major tournaments

diamondpocket

the minnow nations that have got better is because they have invested in their grass roots and infrastructure in producing better players, not because their senior teams have got battered for many years! Iceland & Finland are prime examples.

I’m sensing a bit of arrogance in this thread. If people don’t like these games don’t watch them. A lot of people don’t want Burnley in the PL, so should we be kicked out? And please don’t say it’s not the same, the attitude is exactly the same. I expect arrogance and entitlement from Chelsea fans ...

How do you know? I would have thought they’d learn a hell of a lot by playing against some of the best players in the world. I’m not exactly enamoured that we get such mismatches, but let’s not pretend that we’d be doing the likes of San Marino a favour by putting them into a pre-qualification grou...

Drawn away at AFC Fylde in next round.
W/ E 27 November

is that a difficult tie? same league? or lower/higher?

diamondpocket

Not sure how it works out numbers wise but anyone who finishes bottom of the Nations League, Group D I mean, shouldn't qualify for the qualification of the next major tournament. If you finish bottom against the other 3 teams in your group,who are also of the lowest ranking, should be enough to say ...

poor 2nd half but can't agree with the Italian footy comments, it's improved lots the last few seasons, very entertaining league

diamondpocket

cracking start too
1-1

diamondpocket

stunning scenes at the beginning honouring front line and key workers with stand-sized flags and banners.
Fair Play. They know how to organise that stuff in Europe so well. If only we could do something similar. before games. That'd get more attention than being the forever fighting underdog!

It’s important because she’s doing an awful lot of complaining with no doing and no coming up with solutions. This is why as a child cannot be taken seriously.

great win! Well done Sean, the players and the fans who have backed them for minute 1

diamondpocket

stoppage time +3.
looking good for the win
done well since their fk, last 5, taking the sting out of things.

diamondpocket

like we've been saying all season, we can't keep possession well enough! Sloppy long balls up & then they get it out to the right, good cross, good lay off & what a finish on the volley from 15 yards out

diamondpocket

That 1st half brings back memories of when we steam-rolled teams at home in The Championship. Forward-thinking, high pressing, some mixed play, great goals, & no faffing about. Simple but effective football that we've come to know under Dyche I've been critical about us recently so credit where it i...

See ….. it’s stuff like this. It gets bandied about and people don’t really think about what it means. Why is it a results driven business? What does that even mean? What is a result?

diamondpocket

Like in most situations that aren't quite happening, it's always a combination of things and both Dyche & Garlick are to blame. But don't forget the training centre was signed off under Garlick & what an unbelievable investment that was & will be for the future. I'm sure now on the recruitment side ...

diamondpocket

People coming on here to specifically to complain/whine about people who come on matchday threads to comment & whine about the match is pretty comical!! Who's worse?

diamondpocket

Remember a couple of seasons ago after a crap start & we got a 0-0 at WBA. The spectacle was dire but it was exactly the right performance after another poor start. We got back to basics, back to our defensive shape, didn't do much going forward but finally got a point on the board. It got us going ...

diamondpocket

We can only speculate on the board's interpretation of pressure for the manager's job but a 4 year deal suggests he's got plenty of support and at least a January window. It wouldn't make much sense either to get rid closer to the January window; rash signings are always made by new managers panicki...

diamondpocket

the only positive tonight looking ahead to the future is that Roberts has got a massive throw on him! That's how bad it was tonight, thinking about the future & the joy of seeing a long throw around the edge of the box, can't wait!!

Always interesting seeing the different formats & different words of analysis by the gaffer: Clarets+ https://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/content/reaction-sd-reviews-south-coast-point BBC Dyche - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/58936302 BBC Saints Manager - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/5893...

diamondpocket

No it doesn't. It supports the view that we aren't good enough right now. If you are sure in your head Dyche has lost the dressing room do you want him gone? If we don't win another game this year then I'd be getting shut regardless of his legend status. A time will eventually have to come, if it i...

diamondpocket

Seeing as we go to Chelsea afterwards no win after 11 games would leave us until mid-Nov before we could get our next chance, which would be Palace at home & that would probably be seen as a must win.

Not strictly true. Westwood fired just wide of the post and JBG was inches away from tapping in a Wood ball across the six yard box.

I can’t remember them creating anything better in the second half.

you're right, forget about JBG nearly getting in & Westy's chance.

diamondpocket

But isn't that when we are at our best? Creating very little, but water tight at the back that once we used to go 1-0 in front we'd have a very good chance of seeing out the game. Totally but we seem to have done the opposite though this year with attacking more, without actually creating that much...

diamondpocket

Obviously we can still get a foothold in the game and we have the right players to do it. Once Southampton scored their second they created nothing of note there afterwards so we were obviously capable of defending from that point onwards without any issues. And remember it was a cock up from Tarko...

diamondpocket

Huge problem, the worrying thing is the lack of game management, it was clear Soton were going to score soon with the flurry of chances and constant wave after wave of attack, still there was zero composure in the middle of the pitch, Wood was easily shrugged off the ball as usual, Cork fell over h...

diamondpocket

Quite possibly. Back half of last seaaon we played well a lot and lost a lot in some key game moments. Newcastle and Soton away spring immediately to mind where we were more open, probably better overall in the 90 but ripped in those key moments teams often have in the Prsm Everton away exactly the...

diamondpocket

I know the goals had nothing to do with our shape or tactics but still feel we are losing games, & not winning, by not being able to stem the flow of attacks by the opposition due to being far too open. We're struggling to contain teams when they have their moments in the game and usually they score...

diamondpocket

not much there to give us fans any confidence that things'll change soon. Surprisingly we continue to play on the front foot with the midfield left wide open. None of the central midfielders are good enough in that position & we've tried them all. Continuing individual mistakes defensively are killi...

diamondpocket

Played this second part of the 2nd half the way we should have done after going 1 up. Subs have dulled the game a little & not much happening. Just hope we can hold on, will take a point in what has been an emotional game to watch

diamondpocket

Sub made and puts Cornet back on defensive duties on the left where we were torn apart 1st halk. Let's hope he's learned to defend and keep the shape. Any ideas why our manager has done that?

What a strange read this thread is. From shite to wonder goal in 2 seconds.

what do you expect? We're playing shite & Cornet just scored a wonder goal. We're saying it as we see. It's a matchday thread!

diamondpocket

great finish,our only bright star today so far & is already carrying this team after only a couple of games. A bit like Dwight when he came in. Let's hope the others can step up to the plate.
