    Doug King Takeover

    It's like those makeover tv shows and what the mad hatters would look like with a little bit of King of Shaves pampering.

    The fight before the goal

    People who haven’t played for a long time also forget that it’s a very different game at eye level than sat in the stand or watching on tv

    Emperor's New Clothes

    Yes, that’s another great example. Forgot about him. Seems to be a lot of the forward players we’ve paid money for too. Why do you think we do it?

    Emperor's New Clothes

    Something I feel we've seen quite a bit of over the last few seasons where we take players and then try to turn them into something else. Biamou talked about it in relation to the extensive training he was asked to do in coming short for the ball and hold up play, how he found it very alien to...

    Emperor's New Clothes

    I’d like to see him behind the 2 strikers in a 3-5-2 with our new attacking wingbacks. I don’t think he’s a 2nd striker in a 4-4-2 and don’t think he would get back enough for 90 mins as a midfielder in a 4-3-3. He works hard but it tends to be in his area of the pitch, he’s not really box to...

    Lets hope he's the real deal and he hasn't been telling us whoppers.

    The fight before the goal

    Read this from a Burnley fan yestersday :ROFLMAO: 'Wilson should have been sent off today. Time wasting from the 1st minute (should of had a yellow for that), then should of seen yellow again for pinning Tella to the ground and punching him. Coventry dirtiest team. The fans are horrible not...

    Transfer Rumour Jamie Patterson

    Wonder what the add ons are? 75k if in his first interview he says it was a no brainer and he didn’t want to go anywhere else as soon as he knew his hometown club were interested. Another 75k if he kisses the badge after his first goal.

    Not sure we have a player in our squad, bar Fadz, who can head a ball more than 10 metres

    Still think it’s 4-4-2/4-4-1-1 out of possession and then Allen pushing up to make it a front 3 when we have the ball

    Match Thread ⚽️ Burnley vs Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 14th Jan

    Having wide players higher up the pitch is making a big difference to our build up play. Burnley are pretty stretched because of it and Hamer and Sheaf have the quality to hold the midfield in a 2

    I thought it was 4-4-2 out of possession and 4-3-3 with the ball but it looks all over the place to me.

    Waghorn to hudds

    Desperation to score for the 2nd part I think

    Waghorn to hudds

    How many consecutive games has he started since this time last year? His control and awareness look fine to me, he doesn’t look sharp around the box and he looks like a player that needs a run of 10 games somewhere. Lack of goals clearly affecting him also judging by his penalty celebration. If...

    The Trebuchet wasn’t used until the 12th century you fucking idiot 🙂

    Attack & Defence Effectiveness

    I should think Gyokeres contributes significantly to the energetically wasteful stat all by himself. Carried the team at time this season but could also have easily scored 20 goals already.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Statins are virtually useless in preventing heart attacks. Cholesterol is used by the body to repair itself and Statins, by lowering 'bad' cholesterol, have the side effect of stopping the body getting the 'good' cholesterol to where it's actually needed, like the brain or damaged arteries. High...

    You need a strong spine in your side and Big Mike's must be as strong as they get.

    Transfer Rumour Outgoings?

    Have to believe Robins thinks he’s got someone lined up for very early next week to let Waghorn go today.
