Spare a thought for the older die hard Fulham fans who go to all their games. So many decades of visits to the Turf without a win (think it is up to 28 winless trips now), surely yesterday was going to be their day...!

Or so they thought....

I think we are finally seeing why Vitinho was called
"o Brasileiro Ian Measham" whilst he grew up in southern Brazil

JohnDearyMe

This game is crying out for the all action, never say die attitude of Mike Tresor

We have 8 to their 6 and we are currently 15th in the away table.

If I was the type who uses stats to suit an agenda I would claim we are 33% better than them on the road

Survival form! (Just need to sort out our home displays now...)

Have to admit, my heads in a fog trying to follow VKs thinking this season.

Struggling to understand his thinking as well at times. Can't see why Tresor and Larsen have been ahead of him in the pecking order

Lets hope so price of 2/1 does look good value.

Points wise they are the 2nd worst team on the road.

I'm guessing our away points haul to date puts a fair bit higher up that list that Fulham?

JohnDearyMe

He won’t move to a 3. Cullen isn’t good enough at this level. Massengo in completely untried. Brownhill has been poor for months, and is quiet as a mouse on the pitch despite being captain. Number one priority (again) in the summer is a captain and general in midfield. Whatever division we’re in. T...

I know we've got a few out but I thought the decision to go with 2 in the middle today was a bad one.

Amdouni should have come out and I'd have added the extra midfielder personally.

How Amdouni is managing to start so many games given our position is bewildering to me

I’ll take a goal.

We’ve managed just one in our last 12 games against them!!

Makes the 3-3 draw in the Coyle season even more remarkable

JohnDearyMe

I keep reading names and I wouldn’t know if they are good enough or for the future but what I don’t see and what this side desperately lacks are leaders. We came up with a young exciting team but behind them were Jack Cork, JRod, Ash Barnes, Charlie Taylor, Conor Roberts, Josh Brownhill. All either...

According to the book on Rossendale United A season by season history, the original idea when the club was formed in 1898 was to have a club that represented the whole of the valley after the collapse of the Bacup , Rossendale and Rawtenstall clubs so the Newcurch location in the centre of the vall...

Hard to believe but that game was actually filmed during a local heatwave for Bacup

JohnDearyMe

Good watch, thanks

JohnDearyMe

Well done to Maidstone, brilliant performance

JohnDearyMe

Predictive text, correct edit I remember watching Ian Wright's first touch and movement on his debut, it was sensational. Tommy Hutchinson was another who stood out, that said it wasn't difficult in that era. 😁 Andy Cole had a lovely touch too. Never really appreciated how good he was with the ball...

Good report. Are you still holding onto some hope about survival?

JohnDearyMe

Maybe I used the wrong terminology. He wasn’t slated immediately after we bought him, but read back to the time he was left out by Dyche after he was (wrongly) hooked at half time during the West Brom fiasco. The so-called Irish Ronaldinho Jeff Hendrick -a player I never rated - was preferred by Dy...

Amdouni reminds me of Fletcher when he was signed for the Coyle Premier League season. A good technical and skillful player but missed too many important chances

One of the two players we have who is actually comfortable on the right

Thought Fleetwood looked a good organised team when we played them in the cup last season but they've really struggled this time around

Find it really strange that Amdouni appears undroppable.

High time that he contributes a lot more than he has done thus far this season

Hopefully Zaroury will get an opportunity vs Spurs in the cup next week. Shame about Benson and his injuries

We've seen the team can occasionally dig in and do the ugly stuff but it is the exception rather than the rule isn't it? And it doesn't seem to be in evidence much at home. And that is what is ultimately going to cost us. Wasn't it Dyche who said you have to earn the right? Tresor doing the fancy s...

No point posting your ratings if you’re gonna give Amdouni a 3 and O’Shea a 5.Absolutely pointless. I thought that the point of these ratings were that they were subjective?

Been saying it for a few weeks, but he has to swallow his pride now. He’s backed the wrong horse. I don’t think he will though.

Must be harder for managers to drop keepers at a guess. We saw how reluctant Dyche was to drop Hart when it was clearly long overdue to most outside observers

JohnDearyMe

Walking away with the Championship is pure arrogance, no matter which club is relegated. As for mood change - I think a change of manager would be a massive mistake. Surely I'm not the only one who saw this season as a free hit? This season I expected us to still be in the Championship, though near...

That was a hard one to write to be honest. We were so far second best against a decent (and no more than decent) team. We are clearly just nowhere near good enough.

Agreed. What a wretched season this has been after the highs of last term

JohnDearyMe

Outcoached by Dyche. Completely out of his depth at this level, there's nothing to enjoy. Asking this team to stay in the Premier League is like asking children to swim the Atlantic wearing armbands. This is the worst season in the history of Burnley Football Club. We may have had worst seasons foo...

Agreed, along with who is marking Tarks at set pieces, which is why Ekdal needs to start.

Tarkowski is destined to score even though he missed quite a few sitters for us from set pieces
