We have to integrate these younger players, and as fans we need to show a bit of understanding towards the inexperienced lads.

If we didn't have any spare money there's little we could have done in the window unless we sold a player.

I can't recall ever hearing an interviewer ending things with "bad luck".

How easy do these two make it for the ref to give them a yellow. I appreciate at times you need to take one for the team and impede or stop one of the other teams attackers, or occasionaly you mistime a challenge. These two however get most of their cards (and Westwood must be close to suspension) ...

Well, if we can't put the ball in the back of the net, then we don't deserve to win. Yes, I know about the awful decisions, but we had more than enough time to put that right. Let's hope ALK complete the takeover soon and put some money up for January. We need new blood, especially a good right win...

Not sure if Benson's ready yet , he's leaving lowts exposed to often .

The lad is being asked to play out of position, plays centre-midfield fot the U23s, it's a big ask.

It's going to take a helluva run from Sheffield United to get clear of the bottom 3.

Can't see any way back for them TBH.

We would certainly miss McNeil, our creativity is bad enough already. Here's a thought, if McNeil is out, we don't want to get into a punch for punch, toe to toe game against Leeds or we will lose. How about picking a defensive midfield with one up front: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Brady,...

Also, How often do you see players being told to leave the pitch to receive treatment? Very rarely

It's a bit of a grey area, i've seen players picked up and taken off when they probably shouldn't have been

the trouble with footballers is that so many cheat.

I’ve thought for a long time that to stop players going down and feigning injury, the trainer should just come on and see to the player while play continues. Like they do in rugby. The game would flow more, and players would know to get up as soon as they could because their team is playing with a ...

He came off in the last game and Dyche said he was a possible to be fit.

Ours should be the cheapest by a long way, given our location, attendances and the absolute crap they sell.

The work in the community has nothing to do with the current chairman. He’s not involved in that.

Why is he selling up? He’s a businessman and will maybe potentially see this as the optimum time to sell.

OK.

Do you see him differently to Barry Kilby?

Why would we lose our indenty? As it stands we have our owners wanting to sell up which is their right. If we can’t improve on what we have then we will just eventually slide back down because there is no investment coming in. I guess it all depends on the attitude of the owners. I've been really i...

We've done so well with local investors. i'm not sure that we'll be able to dramatically improve on what we already have.
i am a little concerned that we may lose our identity and our links with the local community.

I'm absolutely rubbish, luckily I'm not a gambler.
With BFC though I've taken to predicting defeat, so far it's going well.

You think people may no longer want the takeover ??

Quite honestly, I think some were seeing investment as a means of staving off what looked like relegation without thinking any further.

I wonder if our upturn in results will see a reduction in the clamour for new investment.

Being really simple about it, the world's getting smaller and the big clubs can afford to scout all over the world and compete for the best players in every country. Stands to reason that there will be some better players across the globe than some players in England. Yes, I totally get that. can't...

Depends what you are referring to as going wrong? Whatever it is, I'm fairly sure that no potential professional footballers have been lost to an x-box. Why do the "big" clubs bring in so many young players from abroad? Are these young players better than what we have? Does playing "keepy-uppy" wit...

60s The Cup Final: I drew The Clarets in a sweepstake with my schoolmates, and nearly won. I'd hardly heard of Burnley before that. 70s Spent that decade playing, followed the results but no stand-outs 80s the Orient game. Rekindled my interest in BFC. 90s.

He's a fine player for us. It makes a change not having a left back as a scapegoat too

All this "playing x-box" argument is nonsense. A third of kids aged 5-10 play football regularly. It's probably better that kids who aren't really into football do have something else to do so coaches can focus on those who don't want to be there. Also PE in primary schools is far superior to what ...

I'd question the relevance of climate, though.
Poor weather never stopped us as kids. Half the football world is in cold climates.

two, both guesses.
i probably would have scored more if i'd gone for the same number every time

Surely if our young prospects were better than those from abroad then our clubs wouldn't be looking elsewhere.
Maybe look at sports in English schools for the problem.

Looked like a knock for Mee which I'd expect somebody like him to run off. Hopefully it doesn't flare up and he's good to go again for Leeds.

No idea on the other two.

I just think that in an era when you see these finely tuned athletes rolling around in agony it's refreshing to see Ben just getting on with it.
I can remember when an injured player would be sent up on to the left wing until the final whistle, don't like the softies

It's not often you see a player limping and trying to run off an injury these days, and for so long too. Hard as....
Great example set by our skipper.

But this once again highlights how thin our squad is, and why we need to recruit in January. I guess if push comes to shove Sean will deploy Pieters on the left, by no means ideal, but I don't see many other options. The thing is, though, that we have a full squad of 25, I believe we could add one ...

If Cork can get back to full fitness quickly I would prefer to see Brownhill and Cork in midfield. Westwood is okay but gives the ball away to often for my liking or simply punts it forward to no one. Without doubt it's an area to improve as soon as possible, our defence is as good as most in the P...
