I've just had a look at our fixtures. Basically, if we could average two points a game against the teams currently below us we'll be allright (39 points)...
tough task, but not impossible.

Have we ever actually shown any interest in Narsingh?

boatshed bill

Similar to "The Black Cats", I like "The Flat Caps", and it strengthens our Northern stereotype

1. most likely

3. unsurprised, though a little disappointed

A question regarding bringing in new players:
We can only name 25 (plus under 23's?), so we probably only have one space left.
Can we take unsold current squad members out to make room for incoming players?

boatshed bill

Agreed. I have been reflecting on my 50+ years of watching Burnley, and bearing in mind the division in which we are playing, we haven't had many better. Top of my RB list would still be the first I saw - the legendary John Angus, then it would be Keith Newton and Trippier, followed by Lowton. (I h...

They may as well do away with the qualifying rounds...everyone head straight to the finals, yippee!

Whilst survival is within our ability, I doubt that regular top ten finishes would be.

boatshed bill

Not a bad draw, as long as we take care of Sunderland of course.

Still at Fleetwood, played yesterday.

boatshed bill

He did well to keep Defoe outside him, and Keane was in a good position having recovered from getting turned easily (which was actually the cause of the situation). But we were lucky not to concede the penalty.

It would be hard to prove that he's crap, Big Ears, where's the evidence?

Bamford ill??
Are we really going to keep him for the season? Waste of a squad place, though not much he can do about it himself.

KRBFC wrote:Hopefully the signing of Barton frees up O'Neill to go out on loan

Yes, better than nothing I suppose.
We've sent lots of players out on loan this season, it would be interesting to know if these loans have achieved what the club and players hoped for.

boatshed bill

It makes little difference how much we improve our youth development until we have some kind of committment to actually giving them first team experience. I can't see that happening while we are either struggling to survive in the EPL or going for promotion to it. O'Neill is now an example of stalle...

Why can't people just accept as the truth the often quoted statement made by Mr Garlick?

Perhaps we should buy him back?

Too effing right we do.

boatshed bill

Absolutely, a strange way of awarding points but also very telling. The answer to the Defour thing is we would have 24 points from 15 games if we ignore games he didn't play or parts of games he didn't play in. Not far off top 8 form. Put quite simply, good things happen when he is on the pitch, an...

boatshed bill

He's 25! Work in progress? If he can't control a ball now he never will. What do you base him being our best striker on? Yes, he's a work in progress. He's come a long way in a short time. Cut the bloke some slack! Regarding a further 6 goals: I think that would be fine, and probably a third of wha...

Heaton isn't being left as exposed and he can generally rely on our CB's to try and put a block in.

It's what they do when they are exposed that counts, TH is doing absolutely brilliantly when we get broken down.

Same here, not a clue.
But if it's £30k I guess he could double that at Liverpool.

boatshed bill

Diesel wrote:What sort of money is Tom on?

A good question. Obviously nothing like Liverpool could pay.
I hope that if our current players keep us up the club rewards them with really good wages to match their EPL status. They will have earned the club a couple hundred million pounds!

boatshed bill

I think they will try to sign Hart.

mohamed69 wrote:You call 6 goals for our main striker a success?

As long as others chip in, yes.

boatshed bill

I think we need to cut AG some slack right now.
If he gets 6 or more I would call that success.
He's really raw to be leading the line at PL standard, and look at the money spent on top strikers...we couldn't get near it.

Oy! Play by the rules. You can see the options.

boatshed bill

I'd have Austin back any time, terrific striker; and when you don't create many chances you need a natural finisher like him.

boatshed bill

This is fun.
IMHO the best footballer on that list would not improve the team as we set up now, odd though that may seem.

Going back to the OP. The Championship may not be the zenith of achievement, but at least there is the genuine possibility of a top 3 finish for many of the clubs in it.

for those who think we will post a record profit, we would not make any money at all if we bought and paid the wages of a team capable of competing with the top 4.

He's not so far wrong though. Frankly, I'd welcome a European "superleague" if it meant that the rest of the English football clubs were playing in a more even competition.

You could say that, but his main failure as I see it is overpdependance on a specific first 11. This was a problem waiting to happen last season and we managed to get away with it. No game changers!
