Doubt Richardson will be involved given he played a full 90 yesterday afternoon

Pozzo owned Watford sell Hassane Kamara to Pozzo owned Udinese for £16m and loaned him straight back to help ease post relegation cash flow issues.

Apparently they're about to sign Pussetto from Udinese for £15m, wonder why they needed that £16m for Kamara...

A group of players were sat just to our right in the first half including MIchael Mellon

Overheard Williams say he was injured but should be back for the next game. Unfortunately no such luck hearing anything from Mellon and I didn't want to just accost him and ask

Mattster

At half time I spotted Keelan Williams, Michael Mellon and a third player in the cafe I didn't recognise. Have just seen he was Jack Turner who has signed for the U21s from Barking Abbey, looks to be a centre back.

Mattster

4 defeats in a row? Thought our much acclaimed cat 1 academy would have been one of the best sides at this level. A lot of new faces, no manager (announced anyway) and looks to me like they're trying to transition to Kompany's system. Similar growing pains to the first team but more pronounced, und...

Plenty calling for Richardson to be involved with first team but surely he should be starring at this level first

Been best player on the pitch again IMO.

Mattster

How we're losing this game I don't know, let alone 3-0

Mattster

Completely against the run of play. Thomas should have done better.

Mattster

Corners have been shocking

Mattster

Club's probably just waiting to see if any of the media picks up the story that our away shirt sponsor doesn't really exist before they release it.

Mattster

Thank you for your helpful contribution. Mmmmm…..BFC say they allow “ standing for longer periods of the game” That’s quite specific. Doesn’t seem to cover standing throughout the game - what might be seen as “ persistent standing “ Still haven’t seen anything from BFC allowing this. The statement ...

Mattster

Leisure This is all very circular. I may have missed it, although I have read every post on this thread, but I do not remember seeing any official statement from BFC sanctioning persistent standing in the CFS. Happy to be corrected. Consider yourself corrected. Screenshot_20220821-115620_Samsung In...

Mattster

Except there has never been an allowance to stand in the JHL. Where have you got that notion from? They have let you off..with the odd reminders no doubt from the stewards. They are guilty of being too lenient with you for too long. The analogy is spot on. You've been getting away with flouting the...

Mattster

I get that, but it still doesn’t make it right. There’s a 30mph road alongside my housing estate, people have always done well over 30 in fact upwards of 40+mph down this straight stretch of road. Thing is, those bloody authorities have only just recently put in an average speed check which has eve...

Mattster

Basically it sounds like the agreement with fans in the effected blocks of the JHL to facilitate standing have been switched to the CFS without any dialogue or notice. If there had been dialogue/notice I would have taken the opportunity at renewal to swap over to the CFS. Instead, the club waited un...

Mattster

I don't know how they enforce it either. But if too many complaints are raised in public, it's as likely that the stand will ultimately be closed as it is that Mattster will be allowed to stand and block the view of the people behind. Neither is particularly likely, but it's possible. Not worth the...

From the club’s statement; As a football club, Burnley FC work under a safety certificate, issued by Lancashire County Council and the Sports Grounds Safety Authority has been in communication with the Club asking us to intervene on the matter surrounding persistent standing before they take furthe...

They have released a statement just now claiming they have offered fans the option to move into the cricket field

Yeah that's not true, just received this email.

That is total rubbish, the club for some reason are saying the CF is sold out but I'll guarantee that's not the case. I sit in the block next to the segregation, of 12 seats on our row, only 5 are in use this season and they are the same 5 which were in use last season. 7 seats empty week in week o...

Turf moor is an all seated stadium there is no standing section technically

Well yes, but it was well known to be tolerated in that section as it now appears to still be in the CFS.

Is there a reason you didn't switch to the CFS when it first became available to Home Fans? Genuine curiosity, not a dig.

Didn't see the need. Was happy where I was and can't say I recall/noticed any of the other regulars in my block leave at the time the CFS was opened up either.

Mattster

So you are prepared to stop attending just because you are being asked to sit down?? :lol: :lol: Yeah. I chose to buy a ticket in that block over a decade ago because it was known to be a standing section. I much prefer standing. If that option doesn't exist and I'm going to be threatened with ejec...

Mattster

And equally, the person behind you who has to stand when they would rather sit didn't have it made clear to them they might not be able to see the game if they sat down. I think you'll just have to bite the bullet and sit down in the name of fairness to the rest of the world. Move next season. Afte...

Mattster

The club isn't allowed to say people can stand. It's a criminal offence to stand and the club can't officially condone it. What the club has done is make it obvious that sitting down won't be enforced in the Cricket Field Stand, but conversely, it will be enforced everywhere else. Now, it may be tr...

Made a compilation of all of Lewis Richardson's actions from the game for anyone interested.

Mattster

I imagine we'll see both him and McNally against Shrewsbury given how many games we've got in quick succession and wanting to get the players on the fringes of the starting 11 some game time.

Mattster

Di Marzio is generally reliable but they're not always right, it was them saying Ramsey to Burnley was very close shortly before he signed for Rangers.

Is twine injured?

Yeah, for a few weeks yet

A lot of people are suggesting a front 3 but Kompany only used that to combat Luton's 3 centre backs and then against Watford as he was expecting them to use 3 centre backs (as Edwards had done in every single game of his management career prior to Friday). Playing a front 3 did not even remotely wo...

States with the Burnley racist incidents that we were playing Blackpool in an evening game in the late nineties and he thinks Waddle was manager at the time. Allegedly Burnley fans were making racist chants to Blackpool players and chucking bananas onto the pitch. He claims Burnley were the only cl...

Ben Woods currently on trial at Sunderland. Playing tonight against Aston Villa in PL2.

Mattster

I'm hopeful that Kompany feels we don't need a striker because he thinks that Richardson (once up to full fitness) will be ready to make the breakthrough. Probably not but I can dream.

Mattster

Very true, however, at whatever level the game is played, the only important figures are Reading 2 Burnley 0 and nothing else is relevant. At this level it's more about development though, think there were some impressive performances in there. You could tell the team was a bit disjointed with a go...

Mattster

Finishes 2-0. Not many clear cut chances but don't feel that 2-0 is a representative scoreline.

Mattster

Proper soft yellow to Ward having let loads go from Reading all game.

Mattster

Looks like a handball from their number 6 there but no penalty given.

Mattster

Coppack on for Ratchford

Mattster

Richardson has continued to stand out, just missing a goal today.

Deane and Hugill on for McCullough and Bauress.

Mattster

After Reading can't clear a setpiece Ward does really well to burst into the box down the left and cutback across goal, the keeper gets a hand to it but unfortunately for us doesn't divert it to a Burnley player.

Ref wasnt that friendly with us 1st half

And should have played on at that freekick Tucker hit the bar from, Richardson was probably in on goal.

Mattster

Reading could be 3 up, but a header from 3 yards out bounces over the bar.

Mattster

Tucker hits the bar from a freekick after Richardson won a freekick (again after beating a few Reading players and still having the ball when the ref blew up).

Ward looking really hurt there after the striker he was challenging in the air did a "Harry Kane" on him, should be booked for that at least - very dangerous.

Back on now, looked potentially nasty at the time.
