For good reason. When we were Champions of England you were getting relegated from the second tier. Probably a good thing for you we didn't considering what we did to PNE post-Shearer.

It’s certainly a problem for them when key players like Benson, Zaroury, Vitinho and Brownhill are leaving. It’s the Venkys strategy of sell big, buy cheap and the rest of the cash disappears. But Burnley appear to be doing it all at once.

Looks like they are selling another four this week.

To add an extra plot twist. Luton had/have three defenders out. But I really hope you put your house on a Burnley win. Do it for Rovers Merce!

Sounds like they borrowed much more than they should have to fund Kompany's project and now they need to raise £100m in sales to pay it off. Also some players want to leave now Kompany has gone and replacing them isn't easy when you can't spend much (as every Rovers fan will know). It's either shocking ownership and the beginning of some real turmoil or an over-reaction from Burnley fans expecting to walk the league. I wonder if Pace will be sat there holding hands with his daughter and wife on Saturday as he did two years ago.

Dolan's decision making frustrates but he's still a young lad with time to sort that out.

I read somewhere that they had three first team defenders injured since the season started.

To be fair, we've got better subs. For example instead of Geuye we had Gallagher. Swapping those two is turning into one of the best decisions in a long time.

One of those happy days in football, enjoy it while it lasts folks! Gueye really does fire up our forward line when he's on doesn't he. Takes the pressure off.

How dare you talk about Jim like that!

Too many false dawns. People are rightly frustrated, especially when we're selling our best and not using some of the money to replace them four games in.

As others have said we lack creativity and pace going forward. And it's so frustrating to watch us take one or more touches at times to take the edge away from an attacking move. Dolan hasn't done enough. No one was saving that goal, it's a goal of the season candidate. Yuki did well to get the ball back in the box for the equaliser from JRC, who up to that point I thought hadn't contributed enough. We really need a spark up front, we're missing Sammie. If there is any possible chance of spend money on Stansfield and a winger, we should do it.

By his own admission he doesn't know much about some things that others are negative about. So maybe that annoyed some if he's preaching positivity when we're still waiting for a number 1 goalie after an entire year has passed. He's entitled to his views though.

Who failed miserably?

We'll score goals but thanks to our defence and keeper we'll always concede them. So who the hell knows what will happen, we could lose 5-4 or win 3-2.

Said he wanted to several times, then did.

I was against Dembele a few seasons ago because I didn't think he'd score enough goals and we needed goals at that time. But now we've seemingly got a goalscorer in Yuki, and a target man in Big Mak, I'd be interested to see Dembele. I remember him being fast and had a knack of making defenders lose their bodily functions whenever I saw him play. No idea what he's become now. He could be a good player to keep defenders busy so our strikers have more freedom. Whoever we get, we need players in asap.

If Waggott doesn't get a new goalie in you may have nothing to worry about.

I'd prefer Poku over Dembele myself. Not ideal I know but I'd prefer Ruddy over a season of Pears too. Terrifying that we could be stuck with Pears till January.

So still having to double up on anything they send then?

Could get both with our player sales, and get rid of Pears and Hilton.

Great so sign Germain, and get Eustace his men too. Apart from Stansfield we aren't signing players on megabucks. As we saw from last season, we'll get injuries, we've need a bigger squad for years.

So can they send funds or not?

"Won't affect operations." Well where's the fecking goalie!?

Decent appointment for them.
