Apart from the fact they know what’s needed to a CM, when you lot don’t.

If they think Cork is the answer then no, they don’t.

Papabendi

When we can:

Barnes
Rodriguez
Westwood
Cork
Bardsley
Long
Lowton
Lennon
Stephens

Doesn’t matter if Prem or Championsip.

Really? I never knew that.

Didn’t Dave Whelan break his leg once, too?

Didn’t know about the Whelan leg

Something seems to have finally clicked re Phillip Billing at Bournemouth. Of course, now the timing is no good.

Interesting observation. That’ll be me and Dande (one of our former club scouts) for starters.

A formidable duo

Papabendi

I know there has been some debate, but it now ends here. Incredible how players become world beaters the more they don’t play.

Papabendi

looks like it

Papabendi

When they signed Vardy for a million from non-league Fleetwood, we signed Sam Vokes from Wolves. That was Howe's last summer with us. As for Wood, Leicester signed him in the January window after they'd signed Vardy. Not sure we had any money at the time to sign either of them to be honest. it look...

They've a hell of a lot of money to spend which helps

Been doing it for ages though haven't they? Where were we for the likes of Vardy and Wood originally? Well the answer is for the former we passed (presumably too quick) and for the latter we waited until he cost £15m.

Papabendi

Bugger - 100m is that all

Papabendi

I see he's been droppped

Papabendi

I think we will be able to call it after ten games, but it is looking like a Sheff Utd style relegation

Papabendi

Or they might just disagree with you.

Not a great start for Wood is it. It shouldn’t be just about him of course, but we do rather rely on him for goals don’t we?

Papabendi

Signed by Rigg. Dyche initially didnt want him.

Mullen getting promotion with the same set of players Casper had sort of disproves a lot of what Jimmy Mac is saying.

Happened under Coyle and Dyche too.

John BOND was awful

Papabendi

Fair comment

Papabendi

I was lucky enough to interview Frank Casper as a young lad doing work experience for the local paper. Very nice man and generous with his time.

I don't think he'll score enough goals at this level .

You could say that about the rest, ex Wood.

Barring a few players I am afraid we are dross at this level now

Time to start preparing for life in the Championship

I am all for promoting our players, making new heroes, but I must say I am getting a little uncomfortable about how much air time Mr Cornet is receiving, particularly on official social media channels. For one, he's played the equivalent of just under 2 games so far. Secondly, the make up of BFC is ...

Papabendi

The real weirdness on this thread is toward Pickford. Do tell me what he did wrong during the Euros and would you honestly think in your right minds Pope would have done better?

Papabendi

Cork looks set to be another one of those players who improves whilst out of the team.

Papabendi

Yes. I can't see PL clubs being interested in players such as Cork and Westwood because they are too old. For my money the three CMs are much of a muchness, but Brownhill is the only one now at all likely to improve. Other Premier League teams covet good players. It’s as simple as that really. It’s...

Papabendi

Will it?

Papabendi

We fit the full profile of a side on the way down. Don't score many, don't keep clean sheets, don't win when playing well, don't win at home. There is of course time to reverse all this, but I rather worry the rot from last season has now well and truly set in and will be affecting the players. All ...

Papabendi

Brownhill will divide opinion but the simple fact is without his energy in there (or unless you play all three) Westwood plus Cork just don’t have legs and won’t work. Westwood doesn’t get much flak but he’s been one of our poorest performers so far and if anything, is the one who needs dropping. As...

The kind of player it’s taken six years to scout and secure, and we we wonder why we are where we are.

But remember - when the pressure came on, we took the mother of all batterings and it could have been 5 or 6. This without their best player.

I think you'll find Tiger's quizzes have been extremely popular on here, especially during the lockdowns, and many people have enjoyed doing them. If you're not interested just ignore the thread.

Thanks. I think I'll carry on offering an opinion tho if I fancy it.

Papabendi

no - and frankly, who cares?

Papabendi

The club seems to have become structured around how many times Dyche can draw his staying up bonus package and not a lot else. Money always distorts in the end.

I spoke to a Barnsley fan who said that Benson is playing well…… in a team in the bottom 3rd of the championship. He’s not as good as Brownhill is presently, so is way below the required level at Burnley at present.

Still, that world beater Callum Styles plays for Barnsley right?

Papabendi

Easy to mark Barnes yesterday. Barely touched the ball, couldn’t get near it. Time is up.

It’s got to be a change in shape going forward. Two forwards isn’t affecting the game - particularly when one of them is Barnes - and we are constantly overrun in midfield.

Once Cornet settles in, maybe Dwight will play in behind Wood.

4 wins since that bloody awful Bournemouth game in the FA Cup. I might have this all wrong, but it feels more and more like a real nadir / turning point for the club and its ambition - for the players and supporters alike.

Papabendi

In general, it does feel like things are sliding rapidly away in the wrong direction - we can't buy a win at home, and I think that's 4 wins in 24 games overall now - a worrying trend. It doesn't really feel like we've shaken our post lockdown malaise - and in particular here are a few things that a...
