Pace, skill and a game plan B & C for when A isn`t working but we haven`t had a B anytime in Dyche`s tenure

claretgimmer

If your name is Sean surname Dyche then no he isn`t droppable, he`s got the photos must have ?

Pope/Hennessey
Roberts Tarks Mee Taylor

It doesn`t help the lad when he has the chance to break from the back with the ball and gets to half way looks up and finds he has very limited options unless he checks and waits for our midfielders to catch up and give him other options than just a predictable launch into the box so the momentum is...

Hennessey 8 played well, not at fault for the goals Lowton 6 Tarkowski 7 Mee 7 Taylor 6 McNeil 6 Westwood 4 didn`t really show much tonight I`m afraid Cork 5 Guðmundsson 3 zero contribution Lennon 8 not a fan but he had a hell of a game tonight and was causing the Utd defence problems with his pace ...

Cancelling all European comps would free up enough midweek slots for everyone to complete on time

claretgimmer

Being involved in `all these` Champions league matches, cup matches etc also bring in the extra revenue that allow these clubs to acquire the better players throughout their squads so if they have this quality in depth then rotate it, a luxury that Burnley and a few other clubs will never have, obvi...

claretgimmer

That`s Dyche`s style of football but apparently a lot of fans love it

claretgimmer

A totem pole would have contributed more than Wood today, but apart from odd glimpses of the old Chris Wood he`s been sadly lacking for quite a while now, admittedly the service which forwards thrive off has been sadly lacking but despite only one win in 17/18 whatever it is Dyche persists with the ...

I would agree DoB but seeing as JBG had IMO his best game for quite a while and Lowton was poor at Newcastle I would leave JBG in but maybe try him on our left

claretgimmer

Pope Roberts Tarks Mee Charlie JBG Cork Westwood McNeill J Rod Vydra Service to the front men has been crap and we have a readymade provider with a track record in Roberts yet some misguided loyalty to Lowton who has defended well recently but offered little or nothing attacking wise still gets sele...

claretgimmer

I thought that JBG had his best game for a couple of seasons yesterday, very reminiscent of the old JBG that took players on and run at them, will it last I don`t know but playing like that he deserves to start

Pope 8 Lowton 7 Collins 8 Mee 8 Taylor 9* Gudmundsson 5 Brownhill 7 Cork 8 McNeil 7 Wood 4 Corne 4 Rodriguez 6 Vydra 6 Wood appeared unhappy at being subbed but I don`t know why, contributed nothing of any consequence as did Cornet hence the reason we looked better when JR and Vydra came on. Cornet ...

claretgimmer

Watching Lamptey for Brighton who I thought was a full back doing a great job down their right made me wonder could Roberts do that for us in front of Lowton because for me JBG hasn`t done enough yet this season, just a thought.

You can keep Slaidburn and Gisburn and I’ll trump you with the top of The Old Man of Coniston. 7183473E-E42B-4373-9E7C-96407773E100.jpeg Our ancestors fought for these boundaries and pen pushing politicians took them from us, bastards. Exactly, but the likes of Oldham, Bolton still declare themselv...

Met Elaine in the nineties whilst we were helping Bernard out with certain tasks, she was part of the old guard as we used to call them and as has already been said she was, besides being a nice person good at her job, basically she knew what was what and solved most ticketing problems with ease. Ha...

So sad to hear of Russell`s death, I went to school with them and played football at Goodshaw with them, as has been said claret through and through as was Peter, so sad both taken too soon. RIP Russell

claretgimmer

Alan Shearer described as a brilliantly worked goal or words to that effect and his comments carry far more kudos than some washed up sports reporter

claretgimmer

So anyone who thinks Lennon is a waste of space doesn`t really know much about football, thanks for that Pep

claretgimmer

Well if we haven't got an under 23 who can perform better than Lennon then the future might not be as bright as we would like to think

claretgimmer

I would rather John Lennon played than Arron in that position. He offers nothing. Is playing wing back (his natural position) so out of position to a midfielder who will always be in his own half? Totally agree, Lennon is stealing a wage, zero contribution, get shut ASAP sooner see a young U23 get ...

claretgimmer

I wouldn`t really say having players of that quality Cap`t is making do, we`ve `made do` with a lot worse that them

claretgimmer

So sad, Bernard and him were good friends would be hard for him.

claretgimmer

Your right SC but he has had a pretty full availability this year and with the additions I feel we shouldn`t be as far away from those performances as we are

claretgimmer

RIP Helmshore claret, condolences to all family and friends

claretgimmer

The thing that bothers me is that this is the same squad with additions that played some brilliant football at Palace, Everton, Wolves last season so there is football in the squad so as manager it`s up to Dyche to ensure that this type of performance is the norm as much as possible not the borefest...

claretgimmer

Dyche may not have had much money but bringing in ageing has beens like Lennon, Stephens when maybe there could have been players with potential at a lower level that could possibly have been purchased for a similar amount and would have been hungrier to play at this level rather than just collect a...

claretgimmer

If this squad was a stick of rock, it would have Relegation written right through it, and sadly I don`t think we would have enough to bounce straight back, to many has been`s, and seemingly from those who watch the U23`s we don`t have alot coming through that are good enough yet for 1st team action....

claretgimmer

Stay in there Helmshore, us valley lads are made of sterner stuff.

claretgimmer

Like many people have already said, a true gentleman, used to enjoy putting the club to rights chatting to him and Bernard when we were down at the club getting balls of the Bob Lord and replacing floodlight bulbs, no doubt he was a character. RIP Jim you were one of our finest

Went online earlier today, got two tkts for the Spurs cup match, one ST one non ST not the slightest problem and I`m no technophobe.

2-2 at Stamford Bridge, two late goals from Dobbo before we had to run like **** to the coaches !! Happy days apparently

Pope 6 Good at keeping goal, crap at kicking Lowton 6 dwells to longon the ball Tarks 7 Did okay alongside his new sidekick Collins 7 Settled well, I feel will go on to be a real assett Taylor 5 Made some great runs only to finish with some of the worst crosses possible McNeill 8 Mom Worked hard and...

The club behind the bus station was Savanaahs/ Chalkers, I think it was the old Lucas or some firms social club prior to this, used to have xnooker tables in one half before becoming a total club, some great lads night out in there after a couple of quick Australian white and cider in Yate`s

claretgimmer

Called at the office today and as you say it`s on the Team Card, I have to hold my hand up as it was me who got it wrong, I wrongly assumed as I was buying the tkts after the ST period was over I would be issued a tkt, one day I may get a full grasp of the system, then they will probably change it.

claretgimmer

Because only 1 was a season tkt holder, the other wasn't

claretgimmer

Congratulations on getting through to the office, I called in this morning for 2 tickets for the Rochdale match only to find when I got home only 1 had been printed, several unanswered calls two messages left but still no contact. Agree that usually the tkt office is brilliant and hopefully today wa...

Cork has looked leggy after about an hour in nearly all his recent matches and at that point should have been subbed probably for Brownhill but Dyche always seem content to watch him struggle for to long, I`m not suggesting knee jerk subs but Dyche seems to have the ability to watch crap football fo...

claretgimmer

AB, love the lad, been a brilliant acquisition but unfortunately his time is up at this level, but we need a player of his ilk which Wood and JayRod don`t have

claretgimmer

Dyche didn`t have a white flag to wave so he sent Lennon on, did FA last time he was here, did FA tonight while we have our record signing sat on his arse, maybe Dyche should pull his head from up his arse and realise how predictable we really are.

claretgimmer

No problem selling our Spurs away at their new ground, unlike the last game at the old White Hart lane but the football on offer was dire let's see what happens this year, Brentford will probably have no problem selling out for the same reason but I attend usually about half the away games but it do...

There are many fans of other NW clubs live locally and I know of some that have been to watch the clarets in other matches so have obtained a clarets number to go with their local postcode so when there chosen team plays at TM they have no problem getting a ticket in the home end.

No queues that night PW just a swirling mass of bodies trying to fight their way to any turnstile, where did they all come from because they weren`t all from Chelsea

Didn`t know the lad but R.I.P fellow claret

I see Stepney of Man U mentioned but prior to him they had three keepers, Harry Gregg ( a Munich survivor ) Gaskell, already mentioned and Pat Dunne a relative unknown.

claretgimmer

Feel a lot more positive after this match than I did last week, Liverpool are quality and it showed but be under no illusion a great team, workmanlike performance from our boys, more performances like that will win us matches against lesser teams than L/pool. Well done boys UTC

claretgimmer

Give over how we haven't won today is a headscratcher really. Brighton should have at best been 1-0 down with 10 men after the foul on Charlie. but we weren`, we left the door open and they walked right through and we hadn`t the nous management wise to effect there second half game plan.
