    I get more pleasure watching us keep a clean sheet in the Premier league than us scoring a 3-3 draw, at least then you know you are at it defensively
    We all want to win ballcock , but defending for 80 mins a game isn’t what i call entertaining football.

    Each to their own I suppose

    This must be the first time you’ve been happy in the last 8 months - you just need the club to sack VK and job done.

    Incidentally I’ve seen much worse football served up at Burnley over the years than what we just watched.

    The comment about none of the players good enough to play in the league is incorrect - we made mistakes this season but we’ll learn from them and improve.

    We didn’t make mistakes, Kompany did. For me, he’s on trial for the first three months. This is not any old football club, like Luton Town. This is Burnley Football Club, we are discussing here. Either Kompany is good at his job, or he isn’t. Right now , it appears the jury is out ,on whether or not he should stay. Time will tell if he’s up to it . I have a feeling, we’ll all find out pretty soon.

    Indeed this is Burnley Football Club , in reality we are an average Championship club at best in terms of size.
    We've no divine right to be in the premierleague , we've been punching above our weight for years.
    I still think VK will bring us back stronger and will be better for this seasons experience. UTC

    Thing is Mal I have this discussion with ballcock and I ask who should we have bought , who should the manager be then and why - it’s no good slagging the manager staff and most of players off and offering nothing as a alternative or solution.

    There are people on here want miracles yes we spent 90 million plus on 15 players - but we couldn’t buy the three that left us for much less than that.

    I agree with most that we bought too much youth but experience at this level costs a lot of money - so we could have blown the whole budget on 2/3 players and had no squad to back it up.

    Please don’t say Benson - Zaroury are the answer as they’re not otherwise they’d have been delivering and doing it regularly for us in the Premiership.

    We did get it wrong but is all the blame at VK door - I’m not sure tbh.

    What I do know is if we do get back up again we’ll be better prepared than this time around and more particular in recruitment

    Bar Berge non of the players have been good enough and wouldn't get in any of our Dyche sides
    They’d of played ballcock - they’d just all become better defenders 👍

    Anyone with any sign of crossing the half way line mind would need to be reprimanded

    I mean look at maxwell Cornet a breath off fresh air gliding past people scoring goals - within 6 games he was part of the ridgid wall that didn’t venture forward unless we got a set piece or corner.

    I debated this many times on here previously we had Lennon granted at his twilight but I watched him make runs for weeks and not get the ball and if he did he’d look up and no one was with him- most said he was poor I think he just lost the will to make the runs in a very cautious system.

    Swings and roundabouts this season we try to play from the back all the time and get punished alot - plus in a Dyche side he wouldn’t allow the ball to come in the box all the time and if it did we’d have solid centre backs who met it for fun.

    I still think the future is bright tbh if we can keep a few together and as at the beginning of this season get a solid centre back big strong and quick and if Berge goes ( Brownhill will surely ) a athletic strong centre mid with vision of a pass or two.

    .
    That's how I saw it too army, it was sad to see his enthusiasm bridled.

    Cannot agree more Army.It was pergotary watching Dyche sides play and still is.Football should be entertaining whether it is in the PL or League 2.
    I would much rather watch a VK oriented side in the Championship than a SD side in the PL.Horses for courses.I have a funny feeling the club had factored in possible relegation and the core of the group will stay and get stronger in the Championship-they are still very young.Next time(if it comes) the club and VK will be wiser in their recruitment me thinks.We are now on track probably with the long term plan once the remaining SD players leave.
