I see Mark Wood has had to return home. I always thought it was a risk given the amount of bowling he’d have to do on hard Aussie wickets. It was a risk worth taking though in my opinion.

He was described as being “ in imperious form “ in my paper today.

If I had to put my finger on one thing - they don’t know how to leave the ball. They have to play at everything. Nothing is more dispiriting for the bowler than to see the batsmen not play at something you’ve put a lot of effort into.

This will only end one way.

I agree with him regarding Anderson. A hard working player but he hasn’t got the passing ability that Wharton has. Another instant pass yesterday that created the Palace first goal. You could see how he spotted what was on the cards a couple of seconds before everybody else.

I take it you weren’t “ entertained “ then ? Chaddy and Gav will be along shortly to tell us how we don’t understand modern Test Match cricket !

The Coasters - Shoppin’ For Clothes.

That’s what I couldn’t understand. How good do you have to be to run around a bit ?

No shit Sherlock.

I don’t remember either of Vale, or Leonard for that matter, doing much in the way of putting themselves about.

Me too.

He won’t get us out of this division the right way. Just an handy lad to have on the bench.

I’d stick with the 5 at the back, which has served us pretty well given the amount of players we have had out recently. When Pickering came to Rovers his “ highlight “ video showed him almost exclusively operating as a wing back. I’d give him I go, or Ribeiro. De Neve ? Nah, not again.

Steve Cropper, one of the men behind the “:Stax “ sound. Superbly economical playing on “ Green Onions “.

That goal at Derby sums up everything about him. The current team need to watch this video. We used to score from corners back then. Hard and fast delivery into the danger area and attack the ball.

My chest size - 60 years ago !

I was hoping our long time Burnley contributors would come on at some point and give us the lowdown on this seasons going on at Turf Moor. They were on here more than I was last season, almost on a daily basis. What can possibly have gone wrong ?

My first impression on seeing the highlights was it wasn’t worth a red card. He was too far out from goal and the cover was coming across. Having said that there will an incident exactly like that somewhere this weekend and it will be a red card.

And then have key players out for the Sheff Wed game ? I assume he takes players off because he knows he has to keep them relatively fresh.

Who do you bring on upfront if not Gueye ? We literally have no one else.

That was class how he completely lost his marker and got into the perfect position to nod that one in. You can’t teach that, it’s a sixth sense.

We’ll have Montgomery pencilled in for his replacement.

Bobby “ Boris “ Pickett And The Crypt Kickers - Monster Mash

In isolation 2 points from 2 really difficult games isn’t the end of the world. It’s the way that we’ve managed to turn 6 point into 2 points that is galling.
