Burnley v West Brom

[UbiqueLUFC33]

Watching games like that makes me realise how fortunate we are. I have watched so much football during lockdown, including many Premiership games and a few Championship ones - I even sat through Coventry vs Brentford on Saturday - no idea why.

The truth is that, compared to watching Leeds, the vast majority of matches at the moment are seriously dull. Way too much negative, boring and sterile passing around in their own half with little attacking flair and it's all mind numbingly slow. To my surprise that even includes teams like Liverpool, Scum and Spurs. The only team that is anything like as good to watch as us is Man City who, if we are honest. are much better than we are but that's not surprisng since you could pick 2 players at random from their subs bench who together would have cost more than our entire first team. On a good day Leicester and Villa can also be OK to watch but that really is about it.

What this tells me is to ride the roller coaster and not get too upset about the inevitable blips along the way.

Watched City v Arsenal, OMG what a borefest!

Alf - think you have a core of some decent players - I don’t think there is a set formula to be okay in this league and certainly it is easy to spend millions like City or Chelsea but it’s not the only way.

I think the problem is Dyche seems to like one way of playing and older players and the game seems to be drifting in another direction to that.

I also think not having fans doesn’t help teams where they are not top 6 quality but where the fans can lift the players and help close the gap.

Can’t see you going down - Newcastle seem the most likely to replace someone in the bottom 3.

Maybe more teams should look at Brentford and Leicester who buy players build them up and sell for huge profits but manage to keep the conveyor belt going.

We have quite a lot of injuries at the moment H , which isn't helping. God help us if Tarks and Mee get injured. Tarks will be away in the summer anyway..
