The objective for the rest of the season
VK simply has to get more than 19 points; we do not want to be known as one of the five worst teams in PL history.

Re: The objective for the rest of the season
The scary thing is there's still 11 games left. It's hard to see where even another point is coming from at present.

Re: The objective for the rest of the season
Planning for next season in the Championship starts now. So the priority is undoubtedly deciding who stays and who gets the bullet.
And yes, that includes the manager and his staff.
Big decision for AP, I'd say.

Re: The objective for the rest of the season
Time to drop those who aren’t going to be here next season. He will know deep down who will want out, and we all know that Assignon and Fofana won’t be here already.
Reintegrate those binned off, and give others who we will be relying on a go. There is nothing whatsoever now gained from playing (say) Amdouni if he wants out in the summer, or Bruun-Larsen if his loan is not an obligatory purchase. Focus on Burnley FC and its future and not these players who are nowhere near good enough anyway.

Re: The objective for the rest of the season
I think we’ll be pushing it. I predicted 18 a few weeks back and I’ll stick by it but it’s probably a bit optimistic I thought we might hit 20 earlier in the season. For all the positives you can look for we just don’t look like winning matches. It’s a shambles overall. It can’t be creating a good platform for next season.
Re: The objective for the rest of the season
The first objective is scoring a goal. We can take it from there if it happens.

Couldn't give a toss. The fact is - Derby and possibly Huddersfield excepted - you wouldn't have had a clue which five teams and when recorded the lowest points return.

And most of those clubs ended up spending a number of years in League One. Derby are still there. And the way Burnley are set up at the moment the same could easily happen here.

Re: The objective for the rest of the season
There are quite often discussed in football circles. The Derby, Sunderland and Aston Villa sides were all so poor it has set a benchmark.
Re: The objective for the rest of the season
No, not a lot. Who really talks about the five teams with the lowest point in PL history - I would suggest very few people. You're just creating a narrative and different angle to criticise.CoolClaret wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 6:30 pmA lot?

Ok - rephrase my OP to 'one of the worst ever' which is a term that's often used.
I used five because all the graphics showed the five worst teams - not sure why that's what you're focusing on.

Re: The objective for the rest of the season
I’ve lost faith in VK signings and who he needs or wants to succeed in the championship …2 more teams will be getting relegated with us plus a handful of other big teams will fancy their chances next season … Even with this massively expensive assembled squad I don’t think will come in top 6 ..

Re: The objective for the rest of the season
This is a reasonable objective. Personally, I would just like to see one convincing home win. I would also take a convincing away one. And and for a touch of nostalgia, let us see Muric don the shirt for a testimonial in the last match vs Forest

It’s difficult to know who exactly will be staying or going, but if Kompany is as astute as we are led to believe, then he MUST have one eye already on planning for next season.
I hope Cullen stays in the first team now, and we start playing through him again. Yep, he might get swamped in the PL, but if we can build some cohesion across that back 4, working the ball in to midfield, then I think it would serve us well.
The conundrum is what to do about Trafford. He simply can’t play out from the back, irrespective of what division we are in. We all want another Championship season like last, but that won’t happen with Trafford in goal.
This season isn’t about fighting relegation anymore, but getting ready for next season, and we need as big a head start as possible.

Re: The objective for the rest of the season
VK obviously has no objective.
A team in our position would stop what they are doing ( it's not working & never will ) and start from scratch by earning a clean and progressing from there.
We are not even settling up for a clean sheet just rearranging the chairs on a sinking ship.

Furthermore no manager will officially throw in the towel until it's mathematically impossible to stay up. In any case we've had so many injuries to players that seemed key last season that it's difficult to know who else he can play.
We won't stay up of course. And, like many, I'm pretty much past caring who he plays or what the results are.

Re: The objective for the rest of the season
At the game in person or at home watching it on television it's not any different in terms of what's happening. If somebody kicks somebody's leg at the game the exact same thing you can see on the television it doesn't magically aim somewhere else. Whether you attend in person or whether you are ensconced in timbuktu or somewhere else visually it's the same what you are seeing & henceforth the opinions are just as valid.taio wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 6:43 pmI suppose I'm placing more focus on it than I should do to be fair - I acknowledge that.

Re: The objective for the rest of the season
I am a bit lost as to what the objective was at the start of the season, let alone what it is now. Sadly we have a manager who has been consumed by his own ego, stubbornly adhering to an outmoded style of play with a disjointed group of duds which he was responsible for recruiting. The football is unwatchable and embarrassing. I don’t think we will get another point and I don’t think he nor many of the players care.

Re: The objective for the rest of the season
To be fair what else is there to play for but pride now?
My hopes for the rest of the season are ti win a couple more, break 20 points and have a clear clear plan of how we ressurwctbthis mess next season.
Finishing with a bit of a flourish is important for confidence to break the losing team culture. Otherwise we run the risk of continuing that woeful context into next season.
We have 2 years, three at max to get back up or we are going to be league one in 5 years and that will be that

I believe the stat is any team that achieved less than 23 points in a premier league season took at least 4 seasons to get promoted again.
That would be absolutely massive for our club if that were to happen.

The length of time they are taking with those road works at the Culvert and on Yorkshire Street, we may be in League One before they are finished.

I think it's more important not to replicate Sunderland being in that list twice.. it seems they had an awful season in the PL, got relegated, got promoted and had another stinker in the PL.. we need to make sure we learn from our experiences of last, this and next season to make sure we're much more competitive in the next PL campaign.

There’ll be no objective as far as VK is concerned. There is no jeopardy, so it’ll be business as usual.

Re: The objective for the rest of the season
It's imperative for the club not only in terms of the morale of the players but also their value in the summer market and the levels of confidence in VK that we win some games and get over 20 points.
Carrying on as we are and limping to 17/18 points is best avoided.

Re: The objective for the rest of the season
I don't know when the earliest we can be relegated is, but it wouldn't surprise me to win half the remaining games after relegation has been confirmed. There's some talent in our squad that might be able to turn it on once the pressure is off and there's a shop window to display in.
Re: The objective for the rest of the season
I disagree with those saying it doesn't really matter. If we don't show any fight or dig a few results out it might get past the point of no return for Kompany with large sections of the fan base.
