Roll on next season in the Championship

CryerBFC

Kompany needs a Sunderland’esque half time team talk here. These are absolutely there for the taking and a lethal second half could really give us half a chance of staying up. Dyche will be ready for our possession and fannying about though, probably just tell his lads to be strong and see out the g...

I remember being outed on this board back in August when I scored him a 10 in the Forest league cup game. It was so clear to see even then how much of an impact he made to the rest of the team. The team should have been built around him, with players who complement his vision and who can receive a p...

If the ref was Aby good at all, it would just have been an instant pen. My initial reaction was, how’s he not seen it. The more I think about it, I feel the Prem refs don’t give these decisions as they often want their mates on VAR to back them up, or in taking an age to look at the offside, they l...

Muric - 9 - MOM - did everything we thought he’d do, some good saves, some good claims from crosses and excellent distribution, his ability to turn defence to attack so quickly and accurately is what we’ve missed Assignon - 7 - strangely him and Vitinho seem to be a decent partnership down the right...

CryerBFC

He played well and stood up well but most saves were as I would expect and I think Trafford makes those too. He does however move it more quickly and the passing is crisper and accurate so it's harder for teams to press us effectively and because he can drill those great long diagonals accurately t...

CryerBFC

The whole ‘poor Brentford side’ is nonsense. You can only beat what’s in front of you, nevertheless, the whole side looked far more comfortable with Aro in the sticks. Similar to Forest in the cup, and Spurs in the cup, the whole team looks more fluid and everything is done a couple of seconds quick...

CryerBFC

Brilliant. I'm more worried about the state of the economy, the destruction of the NHS, Ukraine vs Russia developing into WW3, viruses getting ahead of medical science, going bald, age related problems.. but crack on if that's all you've got to worry about :D In all fairness to the OP, he wast’t st...

How does VK address this in the post match presser?

Different levels in this league
We’ll keep our heads high and go again next week
We did some things well

*repeat weekly

CryerBFC

Jumping in here and I apologise in advance if I go off topic. Imagine a line up of - Muric Roberts THB(£15m) Beyer Maatsen (£20m at start of window) Cullen Brownhill Berge (£12m) Tella (£18m) Foster Koleosho (£3m) That team absolutely wipes the floor with the current crop, keeps the majority of the ...

CryerBFC

I think VK will admit in private he’s probably not done things as he maybe should have, but he stated at the start of the season he wasn’t going to start changing things to then change them back and he’s being stubborn in that sense. We could make a case for Muric, Roberts, Taylor, Cullen, Cork, Ben...

CryerBFC

It’s entirely up to the individual I’d say. My now 5 year old, nearly 6, is the absolute apple of my eye, and I wouldn’t change it for the world. Does he cost me an arm and a leg? Yes Have I missed out on a few social events/holidays with friends? Yes Would I have a bit more disposable income? Absol...

CryerBFC

Don’t know why he bothered coming for that

CryerBFC

Trafford (cause it won’t be anyone other)
Assignon Oshea Esteve Taylor
Massengo Brownhill
Fofana Berge Odobert
Foster

CryerBFC

Postecoglu has been refreshingly honest and decent in his assessments, from what I’ve seen so far. Whether he goes down the Klopp route remains to be seen. Klopp was decent at first but I’ll be glad to see the back of him, after this season. He’s worse than Guadiola, in my eyes, much worse. It’s hi...

CryerBFC

Trafford didn’t claim the ball for their 1st because there were 2 forwards and 3 defenders in front of him and his arms would need to be 6 foot longer to get anywhere near the ball. The defence are told what positions to adopt for corners - Odobert didn’t do his job. In my opinion, he could have cl...

CryerBFC

Having slept on yesterday’s performance, I still can’t fathom the decision making of some. VK and Trafford included. Team selection felt wrong from the off. I don’t think anyone knew where they should be playing bar a couple. Berge sitting in as a 3rd CB for majority of the first half was a waste. T...

CryerBFC

Seeing how easily Bristol City are controlling this game makes our defeat to West Ham look even worse. They’re only a couple of players down from the game against us

What’s Maxwell like?

Looks to me like his first game with a new team and no training session, him and Coufal down the right seem to be on two different wavelengths with movement and options etc.

CryerBFC

Evidence tonight that Danny Ings isn’t the answer to our need for another striker in January as some have mentioned on the transfer post.

Really weak bench for West Ham too, mustn’t be bothered about the FA Cup this year.

St Paul’s under Baz ? Good man him

Yes mate! That’s the one

CryerBFC

I briefly remember a few teams with Burnley Wood affiliations being half decent, CWR scaffolds, George IV, there were always plenty of good games to be had. I started my adult Sunday league with Red House, then had a stint with St Paul’s and finished off playing for the Dugdale. It’s a shame to see ...

Would Muric have made that save in the first half?

Routine for any keeper

CryerBFC

Majority of the time he picked the ball up it amazed me how much space and time he had, he could do what he wanted with it.

The few times we closed him down we got a bit of luck but his eye for a pass and how he popped up several times for a strike at goal was way above what I would have liked.

CryerBFC

Nothing to do with Muric, Amdouni loses it too easily

CryerBFC

Don’t stop them

CryerBFC

I’d prefer Vitinho to LB and Robert’s at RB instead of AAD

CryerBFC

Zaroury looks better on the left, seems to have more confidence

Spurs missing a lot of chances

If we want to win then changes are needed. Redmond and Bruun Larsen for Zaroury and Ramsey?

Keep it as it is for first 10 mins, keep it at 0-0 for as long as possible before leaving Cullen in midfield on his own

CryerBFC

I’ve actually been impressed with Ramsey tonight. He’s never a CM in a midfield two but you can see glimpses of what he can do, he’ll come good I’m sure, but if Villas deal is anything like Archers is at Sheff Utd, he’ll be back there in the summer if we go down

Again I must be watching a different game. All I am seeing is an onslaught from spurs, not sure these miraculous passes are making any impact at all

Hardly an onslaught, they've had a lot of the ball but hardly troubled Muric.

CryerBFC

Why’s everyone raving about Muric? Am I watching a different game haha all he’s done is boot it to half way line If you can't see we look a lot better with Muric then you must be. The whole team set off and are confident he can pick them out, which he's already shown numerous times that he can do it.

CryerBFC

Dortmund looking at Maatsen on a loan with option to buy. Guess that one’s a non starter now.

Did well then, Dwight.

He won’t have an easier assist all season.

CryerBFC

Trafford - 8* - some good saves and getting better at coming to claim balls, but his distribution still needs a lot of work if he’s to continue playing how VK is clearly asking him to Vitinho - 4 - no good as a full back in this league, efforts there but he’s just not good enough, bit like the manag...

CryerBFC

Roll on 15th Jan, might have half a chance in that game. There’s so much I could rant at but it’s done now, and before the game I had us down for a drubbing. That was poor today, can bang the drum all night that we were in a game and battled well, it’s no good if we can’t even hit the target. Look a...

CryerBFC

JBG on, strange one but I’ll happily eat my words if it comes off as a good sub

CryerBFC

I remember years ago always getting a bit hyped to play the big teams, rough them up a bit, get the crowd into them, cause an upset.

Nowadays we just roll over and let them do what they want. Don’t give yourself a chance when you give them this much respect.

CryerBFC

How does Vitinho miss kick that

CryerBFC

Play to your strengths to get the most from any game, dicking around at the back is no way to get anything from one of the better teams in this league

CryerBFC

Love seeing some of his posts on Instagram, feel like he does ‘get’ Burnley. I saw him against Salford and he looked tenacious. Maybe that could be a downfall in the prem giving away fouls, but we’ll never know unless he gets the chance. Pops up with some great goals at u21 level so must be knocking...

Dubois did well, Miller was taking everything til the last round

Anyone watching?

CryerBFC

He’s playing better more recently, but is still a weak link in our team. Can’t fault his work rate but I’d put 110% in if I got given a chance, doesn’t mean I’d be any good.

To be fair being 2-0 up Jay was the better option IMO, for what he offers defensively.

Personally feel we should stick to what’s working, with pace up front and stretch them. Like for like as such.

CryerBFC

Obafemi would’ve been a better shout than Jay, completely different game with Jay up top

Stupid booking

CryerBFC

Trafford gave the ball away there with not an ounce of pressure on him
