Burnley used to( up until recently that is) have a fine reputation of always being a fine footballing team, who like West Ham , were one of the few teams that liked to play the game the proper way. All i’m reading on here is criticism of the style they are currently playing and having seen for myself last week at the CCFC stadium, it is not something I am proud of .
If the club were top of the league and winning most of the time, I could probably put up with it. The truth is , we are not and it is something that is not working right now. So why don’t we change it. ? No one minds seeing the long ball being played now and then , but it appears our football traditions are disappearing fast, and we are becoming another team like Wimbledon, who cannot play any other way. Haven’t we got players who are capable of playing the ball to feet ?As Brian Clough once said” if God would have wanted us to play football in the air, he would have put grass in the sky! “
