Re: REPORT: Another inglorious cup exit
You did well to find something to talk about. An appalling display. Unacceptable on so many levels. It's become almost 'normalised' over the last few seasons to see us struggle against opposition from a lower league but having given myself time to consider last night I have to say it was probably as poor as anything I've witnessed over those seasons. Good luck to Bournemouth, they deserved their win but as a Burnley fan for many, many years that effort just.left me numbed and cold and still concerned for the remainder of the season.

Re: REPORT: Another inglorious cup exit
I thought in so many ways we were unfortunate against Lincoln and otherwise in the FA Cup we've gone out to far better teams than Bournemouth. I just thought last night was horrible from start to finish and as bad as anything I've seen in some time.Silkyskills1 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 10, 2021 4:37 pmYou did well to find something to talk about.

Anyway Silkyskills1 - I'm just about to start another thread which might bring better news even if it was 48 years ago.

Well done Tony for your efforts
I too am old enough to remember our Gutless rollover v Wimbledon
Last night's game was shameful beyond belief ,another in our low spots to add to far too many cup exits.

Re: REPORT: Another inglorious cup exit
Not in a position to rotate the squad like other Premier League clubs can, the squad isn't good enough, I think we all know that.....but that's another story. It says something when Bournemouth can make 6 changes to their starting 11 and can still put in a good performance yet we can't! Good report Tony by the way.

Re: REPORT: Another inglorious cup exit
I have to admit that I was astonished when I worked out last week that we've only reached the 6th round four times since Wembley in 1962 - in 1964 (lost at West Ham), 1974 (not to be mentioned semi), 1983 (Sheffield Wednesday) and 2003 (Watford). I don't think I've missed any.
Re: REPORT: Another inglorious cup exit
I don't mind the changes - we know what the priority is. We also know how negligently weak our squad is beyond the 13 or 14 tried and trusted so it can't be a surprise when we field so many inexperienced players.
However, the game last night was approached with something like disdain by Burnley and that is what is not acceptable.

We made numerous changes for the Fulham game - ten was it - but put out an experienced side that won comfortably. Was it some psychological thinking that meant management thought we must beat a fellow Premier League team so their attitude was good. Perhaps the mistake was Vydra's for scoring that late equaliser against the MK Dons. I wonder if he got a telling off for that?
Presumably injuries and perhaps a wish to put everything into the next three league games led to yesterday's poor effort.

Re: REPORT: Another inglorious cup exit
Dyche clearly said in his post match interview that it was about the club looking why it has so many injuries, he ran off a number of possible reasons for it. Believe his reasoning or not ( i think some of it was very valid) there's not much he can do when a PL striker misses an open goal from 5 yards out or that others can't pass the ball 10 yards - it just proved last night that our "competitive" squad is anything but

Re: REPORT: Another inglorious cup exit
What emerged was that our 'reserves' just aren't good enough. It was appalling and the only consolation was being spared the 40 miles each way from Leeds. We have a very small number of top quality players carrying the average rest. If all of them are at the top of their game we can grind out results. Resort to the 'reserves' and the cupboard is bare. The lack of rescruits last summer showed last night. Presumably what cash reserves we had was basically ring fenced to enable the Americans to use the club's own money to fund the purchase. Alan Pace must surely have seen last night how there is no depth and some big decisions are needed in the summer about getting better players in. I do think we can do just enough to stay up but what happens after depends on some quality signings. You could argue that Dyche did need to rest some of the essential players but what he then had left at his disposal was just not good enough. I cannot see any way that the current crop of players, another year older, another year slower, could manage next season in the Prem.

Re: REPORT: Another inglorious cup exit
I guess we have six players who would fit into some premier league sides and only two who might get into a top six side.The squad uses teamwork and
hard graft to collect points.If two or more of the six are out of the squad the work effort of the squad is not enough to get the points to survive.That side put out last night would get relagated from the championship.

Re: REPORT: Another inglorious cup exit
Where does the buck stop on team selection. Dyche got rightly hammered on Talksport for the team he put out. As the station said-8 points clear of relegation, next game Palace then two home games v WBA and Fulham. A total disrespect for our fans. Alan Pace seems to have gone quiet since his early day pledges and promises. Needs to show who is running the club

"Gutless rollover" ! Nonsense, we absolutely battered them - it was one of those one in a hundred occasions where we did everything but score. Dickie Guy played one of the two games of his life, the other was against Leeds, and Lady Luck didn't just smile on the Wimbledon lads, she gave them all a bj....
It was a huge shock, one of those games where it just wasn't going to happen for us.
I got exactly the same feeling last night - we were never going to score - but for different reasons.

Re: REPORT: Another inglorious cup exit
By running the club is the inference that he should have got involved in team selection? I do not think that is going to happen. And he has already basically made Dyche untouchable which remains a bizarre move in my book.warksclaret wrote: ↑Wed Feb 10, 2021 6:15 pmWhere does the buck stop on team selection.

Re: REPORT: Another inglorious cup exit
Very good report on an awful performance.
Like many have already said, when we play players from outside the main group of 16 players (ish) they are clearly not good enough. This is probably why Dyche has protected his main group to focus on the main priority, remember we are the club that is as close to a relegation position as you can get without being in one. He has also openly complained about replacements last season without any support. So I don’t blame him.
Unless this is sorted in the close season under the banner of ‘exiting times’, then the future will be as bleak as last night’s showing.

Re: REPORT: Another inglorious cup exit
we have players who can come in and give 'OK' performances provided they are with our established group. Put them all together and we get that mess though. Not sure why Dyche thought that line up would be good enough but I suspect I can answer my own question.

Re: REPORT: Another inglorious cup exit
Dyche's job is to keep us in the Prem with as high a league position as possible.
If Dyche is of the opinion that taking any kind of risk last night was not worth it, the chairman will support that. Relegation this season would be disastrous.
A few might be spitting their dummies out on here - some of the reactions are downright embarrassing - but Dyche sees the bigger picture. It's his job.
Let's see where we are after the next three games.

Re: REPORT: Another inglorious cup exit
My first proper FA cup experience was the 73-74 season and having my young heart broken and even the following two seasons I was gutted attending both 3rd round games and witnessing both disastrous results.Im still nostalgic for the cup and always believe one day we will avenge those three seasons andwin the cup in my head anyhow.But being serious if you get to the 5th round with a favourable home draw you should give it a real go to progress.I was as gutted last night as I was all those years ago I thought maybe this could be the year we have a chance.Iget that things have changed and the cup is a hindrance now for most clubs now but it certainly does not make it right.I wonder if a lot of clubs would prefer not to even enter the competition

Re: REPORT: Another inglorious cup exit
Can't argue with anything in that report CT, I think people's frustrations are that we battled through to the 5th round, and had a winnable home tie.
And Jay's and the Pieters episode just summed up the whole sorry affair, of course we all understand how important it is too remain in this league, but surely it's not asking much for the club to at least attempt to go as far as reasonably possible in the FA Cup anyway, and for all those saying there's always next year, that's true but will we got such a favourable draw as we got this time, in life you have to grasp the opportunities that come your way, and in my view that was an opportunity spurned.
SD and the players better make damned sure we collect a good number of points in these next 3 games, there's no excuse now that they've all been rested up is there.

Couldn't give a toss if we got battered for 96 mins and scored a winner in the 97th.
Its about 3 points at the end of the game, that's all I'm arsed about and I wouldn't give a toss if it went in off someone's butt cheeks.

Last night was equally as bad if not worse than Watford, and Stan also left out several key players on that day, and we turned in a woeful display, and were deservedly beaten, the reality is chances in cups for the likes of Burnley don't come along very often, and every time they have presented themselves in recent decades, we've failed to turn up on the day. Watford, Lincoln and now Bournemouth.dougcollins wrote: ↑Wed Feb 10, 2021 9:57 pmThe worst one for me was Watford.
