Happy clappers is just a stupid term used by morons to describe people who prefer to dwell on the positives rather than revel in the negatives. And the positivity of the happy clappers has been proven to be good judgement for the best part of 8 years now.

Your wrong, happy clappers are those who think everything we do is wonderful and everything is rosy. Those who dare have an alternative ( and more realistic ) view are called names by said happy clappers, who don’t have enough emotional intelligence.

Unfortunately whoever buys the club I would be careful giving Dyche any money.After 8 seasons he hasn't bought any pace,flair or creativity.We are so so easy to play against.The style of football is shocking and maybe Garlic was right not to give him any money seeing the garbage he has bought.

Tbf he’s only ever had “Championship money” at best . The fees spent on players ,while appalling out of sync are still miles out of our structure even the middling off the peg prem players . Give SD 25/30 ish mill per player budget ( for say 3 players) and matching wages and he’d have our team firing pdq.

I don’t think even the most positive person on here thinks that everything we do is wonderful and everything is rosy. So you’re wrong.

Time for supporters to stick together and back the team and manager that’s what being a burnley fan is all about proud to be a claret even in thees tough times utc

This was always going to happen eventually.
We cannot compete with most of the Prem on transfers and contracts.
It's hard to rejuvenate an ageing squad without a much larger budget than we have.
Sometimes you just have to accept things.

Fair points but...
Boyd... Pace

He had pace, just not a lot else.

Lovely flowing hair though

Is there anyone at all who is saying we are not in trouble ?
It’s the way the OP is hovering over his computer ready to open a bottle of bubbly every time we lose that is pathetic

The season when we couldn't buy an away win was peak time for the Op.

Two seasons ago we were in desperate trouble. Anyone remember the away game at Palace. That was arguably far worse than today:

Good games for Kev Long Charlie Taylor and Tarks but you can win or even draw with 8 passengers in the side.

Posted: **Sat Oct 31, 2020 6:05 pm**

Unfortunately this has been a shocking start-we are now bottom after 6 games (including 3 relatively easy games) and we finished tenth last year .Fans will react in different ways. I sense tonight there is concern and acceptance of the situation even from normally positive fans. Some seem to think our first win is just round the corner, and then we will go one of our runs, but apart from WBA and Fulham I cannot see who we would beat in the PL-infact we drew against Albion who might easily have taken all 3 points. What keeps ringing through my mind right now is our Chief Exec recently saying "the club is in really good shape". Having watched our performance today and recent weeks not everything is fine

That's not true considering we had three great chances to score.

They had none.

I know it's not good at the moment but it doesn't help when people start making things up.

I’m a big fan of Westy, but the only time he found a Claret shirt today was with a back pass.

I suppose this is where people like you differ from the ‘happy clappers’. Because most people would say that if any team was to take the three points in the WBA game it would have been us. Likewise, the Spurs result could easily have been reversed and a draw really wouldn’t have been cause for complain for either side.

That’s not undue positivity or happy clapping, it’s just reality.

SD wanted and finally got Stephens! Says it all

probably something to do with "Sean you've got less than 2 million to spend" - I can't believe anyone would think we would have signed Stephens had Dyche been told "You've got 20 million to spend"

Posted: **Sat Oct 31, 2020 6:15 pm**

I'm intrigued by all of them 'doom and gloom '. Pretty much each of Chelseas players cost more than our squad put together. We were most likely not going to get points from the Chelsea game. We rely on not getting beat by any of the other teams we perceive as finishing in the bottom five or six. We took a point away at West Brom. We will need to repeat that against Brighton and ideally we need to beat them.
We also need Ben Mee back in order to scrape more clean sheets hence 0-0 draws. These are games that will not gain many admirers but they will help us edge up the table.

You're getting confused with the club being in good shape and what you're seeing on the pitch.

Posted: **Sat Oct 31, 2020 6:27 pm**

Let’s be honest, it’s been a good experience and novelty to see us compete in the PL, but we were always punching above our weight, and the Championship is where we belong.

You could say that v Liverpool away last season. However the whole team gave everything that day and did not have defeat written over their faces after 15 minutes

I hope so, but the way things are going I wouldn’t be too sure.

If we don’t go down this season it will be an absolute miracle. The club just stinks at the moment.

That's the way it is if you support a football team, an unending stream of ups and downs. The joy you feel at the former is paid for by the distress experienced when the downs come. Last ten years or so have been pretty much a steady flow of up times, so we have to be prepared to take the downs, knowing full well that the good times will return again at some point. They always do, so be of good cheer.

Correct, so what good would it do for the so called 'Happy Clappers' to wake up?

Let's all have childish rants like the OP, whose post is another one of his..... 'mummy, see mummy I was right'. Failing to see with his undeveloped brain that not everything is black and white.

Some folk (usually seasoned Black Cloud Chasers) on here really still don't get it. It's not about criticism after a poor game, it's how it's done.

The OP comes across as a child, trying to dig out one poster. Which he failed at anyway.

No pace? JBG, Boyd.

No Flair? Defour.

No creativity? Defour.

Add in players like Jay Rod, Vydra and Brady etc and you're chatting out your backside.

Plus if you're not willing to let him spend then maybe you should be advocating for his sacking but if that's the case then you can own any mess that happens afterwards.

I don’t think Dyche is the issue here, doing his best with the limited tools been given but Boyd has no pace and Brady offers nothing.

Posted: **Sat Oct 31, 2020 9:58 pm**

Garlick has been good for the club but he had his head turned in the summer with a large wedge stuck under his nose. He gambled that SD would weave his magic and he could make a maximum return hence no transfers. The gamble has backfired the Americans dont want a championship team so the club value will plummet leaving the vultures circling ie the cheshire property developer

Boyd had pace, but lacked creativity.

Brady, when fit which isn't often, isn't a bad winger.

As for tools he's been given, he signed them all, in fact the only players in the squad who've been here longer than Dyche are Mee and Long I think.

Nice bit of conjecture there.
I may be in the minority on here, but I think MG has done nothing but good for BFC.

By no means a happy clapper myself but I'm not worried yet. Long way to go and the best time in the season to be in bad form.

Very good idea. That's a far worse time to be in the bottom 3 than now. Right now times on our side.

Posted: **Sat Oct 31, 2020 11:06 pm**

I watched the game with the Benalmadena zClarets and we were all totally p!ssed off with the performance and lack of ideas. However, when when I got home I talked to Mrs Vino, who watched the game at home: now I know she's only a woman and doesn't fully understand the ins and outs of football punditry/analysis, but she said to me "there's no heart in the team any more". Does she know more than I do?

Posted: **Sat Oct 31, 2020 11:09 pm**

Spurs took him off our hands

if you didn’t know that.

Posted: **Sat Oct 31, 2020 11:13 pm**

There was plenty of heart in the team v spurs and I don’t think it has dissipated in a matter of a few days.
Forget today. I think Dyche had them going back to basics v Spurs, rebuilding confidence, and it nearly got a point. They will continue to do that and when the win comes more will follow.
