He shouldn't be playing in the Championship. He has done that already, time for him to go to a team that plays in Europe before it passes him by. He's up there with Defour in terms of ability for me.

Steady on! Defour was on another level.

Muric 5 Commanded the box. Another howler. Still a better option than Trafford. Assignon 5 Unbelievably lightweight Ekdal 8 Streets ahead of O’Shea as a defender. Can’t stay fit. Esteve 8 Can we keep him? Vitinho 4 Did nowt. Berge 4 Slow, ponderous and that’s before being moved to centre half… Culle...

Muric - 5 - Calamitous mistake for the goal. Solid otherwise but obviously cost us the match. Assignon - 4 - miles off the required standard. O’Shea - 4 - miles off the required standard. At least we don’t have to endure his garbageness for a few games. Esteve - 6 - getting better each game. Best of...

Trafford 4 one good save but he’s a League 1 ‘keeper Assignon 4 Exposed by one of the league’s best O’Shea 5 he’s a limited, Championship defender Estève 5 struggled all afternoon Delcroix 4 OK Berge 3 slow, ponderous and (worst of all) soft. Brownhill 3 captain? Give me strength. Useless. Ramsey 3 ...

Newchurch Claret

It was clear after the first month or so that he’d made huge mistakes in the transfer market, that he was woefully out of his depth, that he’d disrupted the squad beyond repair without good reason and that he was making the same tactical and selection mistakes without learning from those mistakes. N...

Trafford 3 I feel sorry for him. He’s nowhere near up to it and his manager is too stubborn to admit he’s got it completely wrong. Assignon 7 At last an athlete in our back 4. Fantastic assist. O’Shea 4 He’s a terrible defender. Ekdal 4 Not fast enough for the Prem, particularly when playing alongsi...

I disagree that he’s made a mess of our signings. I’ve just had a car journey home with Villa fans who were raving about a number of our signings - Trafford, Odobert, Foster, Amdouni, Berge (until the sending off). They also went to the home game and commented how much better they looked today than...

Newchurch Claret

I wouldn’t be giving Kompany another penny. He’s made a complete mess of things transfer-wise. Yes we’re certainly getting better tactically but realistically his signings have backfired. We need to win half of the remaining games to have any chance of staying up. That’s simply not going to happen, ...

I’ve been watching Burnley since the late 70s. In the season after we almost went out of the league, I went to every game home and away. I’ve seen seen some great teams and great players and also some woeful teams and players. I’ve watched Burnley play at over 80 league grounds. Expectations have ch...

If we get a point from Saturday we’ll have done well.

Newchurch Claret

Relegation is inevitable. The evidence is in front of us each week. Nothing has changed and nor will it. We’re just miles off being good enough for the Prem. What amazes me most is this arrogant idea some have that we’ll come straight back. This squad has no chance whatsoever of coming straight back...

Newchurch Claret

I’ll gladly drive Roberts to his next club and buy him a garage butty on the way. He’s useless.

Newchurch Claret

Positives:

4-4-2.
Berge.
Only -2 to the goal difference.

Newchurch Claret

Flapper Trafford 3 Made for TV saves (that pretty much any professional ’keeper should make) can’t hide the fact that he’s not equipped to cope at this level. He’s a kid, though so I’m not sure what else our manager expects. He shouldn’t be being exposed to this. Too slow, quiet, weak and a total la...

Newchurch Claret

There will be at least 5 goals and we won’t be scoring any of them

Muric

O’Shea
Beyer

I don't think VK should go but why he's destroyed the team spirit from last season I'll never understand.

Exactly. Stubborn. Arrogant.

Newchurch Claret

Agree.

£120m! Not a single signing better than what we had.

Negligent.

Newchurch Claret

I’ll be very pleasantly surprised if the team is anything other than what I expect VK to pick, which is:

Trafford

Vitinho
AAD
O’Shea
Taylor

Cullen
Berge

Tresor
Amdouni
Foster
Odabert

I fear another long afternoon ahead but live in hope!

Was your acquaintance able to stump up the circa 900k? If not, i guess that would have been the difference between suspended and not.

Exactly this.

How did we do against utd in our championship winning season?

Irrelevant to my point, which was that I think our team from last season would have beaten the Man U team that turned up at Turf Moor a few weeks ago.

Newchurch Claret

Worst Chelsea side I've seen at Burnley, nowhere near good enough and we allowed them back into the game. I totally disagree with you. I said this to my son after 30 mins. I still felt the same way at the end of the match. They’re not a patch on the Chelsea sides we’ve faced previously and were the...

Cullen starts, O’Shea on bench.

Hopefully it’ll be the same for our next league match

Newchurch Claret

Watching the Palace/Wolves game, will be very disappointed if we don't take points off either team. They both look poor. They might look poor. We look abysmal. We expect to get better. So will they . Both are a lot better than us. Premier League experience and ability all over the pitch. We need th...

Newchurch Claret

I wouldn’t say it’s panic. That’s not the correct word. It’s more disbelief. Disbelief at the number of unnecessary changes. Disbelief that we haven’t signed a left back (when VK is clearly not a fan of Taylor). Disbelief that last year’s team hasn’t been given a chance. Disbelief that the new playe...

Newchurch Claret

Trafford - 5 - Out of his depth. Unfair to play him, really. Too soon. Give him time to adapt. His nervousness spreads to the defence. Not vocal enough. Muric has to start. Al-Di - 4 - our third best centre back. Playing him at full back is unfair on him. Will ruin his confidence. Roberts - 5 - too ...

Newchurch Claret

There’s a wider point here. I think most of the views being expressed are based on “little old Burnley; that the fans attending match day will continue to be drawn from Burnley and the surrounding towns, in the main. Clearly our chairman is looking at a much wider appeal. Why couldn’t we attract mor...

Muric 6 Roberts 4 He can’t defend and is so unbelievably slow. He’s like that co-worker who always looks busy but doesn’t actually do anything most days. We’ll struggle next season if he starts. THB 4 Poor. Ekdal is better. By some distance. We don’t need him next season. Beyer 6 Tough game. Had to ...

Newchurch Claret

Time’s up for Mr Bird. Completely out of his depth now under the new era as we try to move on from being a plucky town team towards being a respected, established top flight club. He just doesn’t fit and his commentary is unfortunately cringeworthy. I think he might be put out to pasture in the summ...

Couldn’t care less.

Football returns on Sunday.

Newchurch Claret

Taylor and Roberts are Dyche-type players. Roberts in particular has been guilty of giving the ball away on several occasions already this season (he’s not the player he thinks he is), whilst Taylor is yet to be tested but also isn’t the best ball-playing footballer but has been great in the Dyche s...

Just back. Great stadium. Great performance. Pope 9 Two incredible saves Roberts 7 Too many risky passes. Sound, though. Long 9 Never, ever lets us down Collins 10 Best player on the pitch Lowton 8 superb in a new role Taylor 7 Had the chance to get forward more. Much better 2nd half. Solid. McNeil ...

Newchurch Claret

Lowton. No contest.

Newchurch Claret

Absolutely brilliant.

Newchurch Claret

He was great. Now he’s not. Legs have packed in. Much like Barnes. Setting aside whether any of the 3 are good enough, if all 3 of our central midfielders are fit, Jack is now 3rd choice, possibly even 4th

Newchurch Claret

Clearly.

We are simply not good enough. Not by a long way.

Awful. He’s been great for us. Twice. Unfortunately time catches up with is all.

First post in many years. Had to create new login! I really think it’s time to give some youngsters a go. Other teams in the Prem are and there’s little point signing so many and not giving them a chance. The general consensus is that so many of our squad are past it (Cork and Barnes in particular)....
