Blackburn will almost certainly make it. It’s hopeful to think they won’t. They’re not a patch on borough or Luton. But the play offs are a genuine lottery and what matters most is how you come into them. Luton have been great all season. But it’s a different pressure when it’s down to three cup gam...

and I wonder if it means as much to him as it does to some of our longtime supporters ? With all due respect. Why would it? All he cares about is the next game and next season along with any actual silverware we can win. Like the league. And cups. He won’t give much of a sh*t about 100 year old rec...

Said on another points record thread a few weeks back (after a few draws) that this is how it feels to be a City fan. You ascend so high that every little drop feels like a crash, and if records are not smashed, titles become consolation prizes. It's not right, but I understand them a bit better no...

TravisBickle

Whatever you want to think, but the issue wasn't the GK. There was very little threat from the flanks when they had the ball Because it was played out slowly. When we attack from muric it’s quick. Their defenders are on the back foot and our attackers on the front. Every time they got it today they...

I think he has too, boatshed......Which somewhat disappoints me.

It’s important we do. How will we have the chance to know what twine, darko and co are capable of if we don’t play them in an important competitive game

As the thread says ‘on the plus side’ I thought al-dakhil was excellent today didn’t put a foot wrong

Agreed. Real talent. Good on the ball and a big unit.

TravisBickle

Murci would not have made any difference, because he's not the one tasked with crossing in for our strikers. BPF faced very little in the way of danger from Reading. I think at one point he was further forward than Beyer, briefly He would. Our attacks are much quicker. Much more direct and purposef...

TravisBickle

75% possession and the vast majority of it was nowhere near BPF. This is kind of my point. Muric is involved in so many attacks. He gets involved and the team get him involved. BPF was fine. Taylor was fine. But nowhere near the energy and composure and technical ability. Both did ok today. But we ...

There have been some occasions where that is true, but today wasn’t one of them.

Definitely missed him. We didn’t have anything like the build up and options he brings.

BPF was fine. But nowhere near as quick to attack without muric.

Why is this a question. If Sheffield Utd don’t win and we do, we’re champions at Rotherham. Even if they draw they can only reach 92 and we would have 94 with a win

Apologies. Didn’t realise they play Tuesday. With the cup assumed they had this midweek off.

Yes. If we win at Rotherham we’ll be 12 points and 20ish goals ahead of Sheffield United on goal difference with 4 games to go. Even if the maths says it’s not certain a win on Tuesday sees us champions.

True. It we won’t be crowned champions. We will be crowned champions at turf moor or ewood.

TravisBickle

We either win the league in front of a packed turf moor and everyone gets to enjoy it. Pubs packed and a great day. Or we win it at ewood!

Couldn’t be better.

TravisBickle

Don’t see why not. The rested players will be fresh and ready to go now. Blackburn will be a big test.

TravisBickle

That today showed how crucial he is to our style. Missed him big time. And to a lesser extent Maatsen as Taylor was probably our best player.

A lot of changes. But muric being the one we missed most.

TravisBickle

Roberts has been class. And his stats considering he wasn’t even first choice for much of the season are really good. But trippier was better imo.

Maatsen vs trippier is much closer and I’d pick Maatsen if I had to.

A truly incredible season when you consider where we were at a year ago. Don’t think I’ve quite processed it properly yet.

Only after the event will we truly appreciate it. Some memorable games. And days.

TravisBickle

On stewards; I get really ticked off watching stewards getting between fans and their own players, why? They are celebrating for crying out loud. On Sunday one stopped Ramsdale giving his jersey to a fan and then took it from him to hand over. What an over-reaction this has become. Problem is. Rams...

TravisBickle

That’s a good point. He’s arguably better than Trippier when he played for us. And he was older. I’d love it if we could sign him permanently. He’s quicker than trips was when he was here. Technically on a par if not better. Trippier was great. No doubt about it. And the balls he used to land on Au...

TravisBickle

Who scored, and other sites, use stats though, not opinions or what fans see. That's why the team of the "week"/"season" etc isn't just the Burnley team. Our players aren't 10/10 every week, in every single position. The stats are we are too. By miles. And have lost twice. Scored the most. Conceded...

TravisBickle

It’s a shame if jay ends like this. But tbh before this season it was clear his best days were behind him. That said this season he’s played a crucial role early on in the season and probably off the field all season. I’ll remember his goal at Wigan for a long time from this season. Crucial goal in ...

TravisBickle

The reality is probably not. That’s why even though it’s become routine now in savouring every bloody minute of it.

So lucky to have witnessed this. Two defeats all season. Unbeaten in 20 games. It’s remarkable

TravisBickle

Went downhill after the game here. They slipped right down the league after his bizarre meltdown.

TravisBickle

Easily the most exciting full back I’ve ever seen for us. And I include trippier in that list.

TravisBickle

Kompany suggested last night that he’d be using the squad over the remaining games. As much as I rate several of our bench players, it’ll be real test to pick up 6 more wins using several players who haven’t played much recently. You say this. But as good as we were under Dyche if we lost a key pla...

TravisBickle

Mcburnie was bullied yesterday. By players half his size. Cullen was class with his headers. Won a crucial one late on at our back post.

TravisBickle

7 goals. That’s incredible.

What a season. The players won’t get complacent. But you go to games now and genuinely can’t see us doing anything other than win. And it’s hard to fathom if we draw.

TravisBickle

Charlie has been a fantastic servant and player for us over the years. He also has not let us down when played this season. It is also fair to say that he's not got a future in this particular team and style so it's probably best if he moves on this summer. It's a good question as to where does he ...

Taylor has never scored for us.

Get rid of him.

TravisBickle

Remember this well. Was a tense couple of games. But always sticks in my head the fellow being carried out in front of cricket field. Terrible to see. Sure there was trouble in the ground? They were a good side then. And ended up getting to the semis after beating us. And we were so close at their p...

TravisBickle

Give it a rest. Every single one of them have proven this season not only are they good enough. They’re some of the best players that have ever played at this level. Players calling for muric, maatsen, foster and others to be replaced. Get a grip. Enjoy them while you can. It was a long time in the ...

Sorry nick but he didn't have a shot to save. He will next season.

He literally performed one of best tackles / saves you will see. Then pings a ball out. He’s class.

TravisBickle

He’s superb. I’d take him all day.

TravisBickle

I'd be surprised if he's first choice come the start of next season. I know it's been done to death and he's got lovers and haters but my take is he'll cost us next season. I get the argument that he's great with his feet but his primary job is keeping the ball out of the net. I'm sure there are ke...

TravisBickle

Billy Sharp was chunnering too. Nice to see them rattled. Ndiaye should have got a first yellow for dissent. But was definitely deserved his yellow for petulant kick in frustration. Can Sheff Utd channel tonight as motivation to kick on or do they bottle it and let Luton in? Will be interesting to ...

Does something every game that makes me think we have an unbelievable talent on our hands when it all comes together.

Hopefuly when we are 0-4 up at ewood and we get a late penalty he takes it. As he’s the only regular not to score this season (Costello and peacock Farrell aside I believe)

TravisBickle

everyone was singing "you're ******* ****" - they spanked us at their place, don't blame them tbh They were ****. And for 45 mins that game they were then too. And over the course of the season they’ve been nowhere near us. That game literally motivated us to pump bastards and we haven’t lost a gam...

just giving it back, good for them imho

After losing. When they’re still not sure of going up. After we’ve just beat them tonight and convincingly over the season?

Strange time to try and get one up imo.

Thought his touch, movement, hold up tonight was very good. Like the look of him.

Quality.

This boy is getting better and better every game. Is that most clean sheets in the league now?

Said the same tonight. He’s improved game after game. His confidence is sky high.

TravisBickle

I’d like Preston to take bastards spot in play offs. Then bottle it against Millwall at Wembley.

TravisBickle

Unstoppable. Simply premier class. His touch. Pace. Skill. Attitude.

Stuart McCall and ndiaye running off pitch counting five after the previous game.

Celebrating one win that basically galvanised us to go the rest of the season unbeaten

How much would it cost the club to send every fan with a ticket for Ewood an inflatable trophy they can smuggle in to Ewood and blow up inside the ground?

Now there’s a plan

TravisBickle

Started softly but been decent since. The red looked to be the right decision rather than the penalty. How the linesman had a better view though I will never know.

Here's another stat, probably already mentioned but it won't
do any harm to repeat it.

We sacked Dyche on Good Friday last year.

We won promotion on Good Friday this year.

And I’m sure we’ve been promoted over Easter many times too?

TravisBickle

It would be nice to win it at ewood. But there will only be a handful of fans there and potential for bother as thousands would turn up to see it without tickets. It would be nicer to win it before then and turn up as champions for a guard of honour. And Vinny like any sane Burnley fan will want to ...

What a smart appointment Warnock was

Genuinely thought they were gone. And he was daft for going there. What a manager. Has to be the best the championship has seen all things considered. And this being one of his best results of all.
