47er

Beck is a key figure for us now. Will go on to great things I imagine. We should be desperate to keep him for what we hope is our promotion drive.

A lot of those wins should have been greater than 1-0----we just miss too many good chances. So, yes, those games were more entertaining than the score line suggests. Just highlights again the need for a more competent striker or two.

Travis arguably our player of the season. Forcing him out last season to save his wage looks an abominable decision from so many angles. Thank goodness he's got guts and has chosen to show his real value rather than throwing his toys out of the pram. His dignified response is in stark contrast to the behaviour of those who made the club a laughing stock last season. I really thought we were doomed this year and can hardy believe how its been turned around, but Travis can be proud of his role in it.

Good point, me not devious enough to think of that one!

So why don't they sell?

If we're broke and we clearly are, why wouldn't we welcome the money from several thousand Burnley fans? Is it to prevent us losing? If so it hasn't worked for years has it? If support were a big factor we wouldn't win any away game would we? And we still beat Leeds! So it doesn't make any sense to me.

Aussies will have him for breakfast.

Then what?

Crawley out for 5 this time? Surely he needs a big rest.

I wouldn't want him anyway. Played one good season and left robbing us of a transfer fee. £7M down the drain. He'll feature in the Championship for a while and then fade away a rich man.

"assist" clearly implies you did something positive. Anyway we move on....

Yeah i know! That's where I read it! He completely missed the ball. Assist? No way!

Are we really crediting Gueye with an assist for Beck's goal or is it a joke?

In the Premier League!!

With a talent like that you just tell the rest to give him the ball. Tyrone's said what I was going to.

Think where we'd be if we still had them though!

Be wonderful to see Ewood absolutely full again.

He'd probably get sacked if he achieved it!

Some very happy memories from back then. We were in paradise compared to now weren't we?

I've been talking about Gueye in terms of "he's a lot to learn but he can be coached". When I got round to looking at his age I was astonished to find he is 27!! Surely at that age he ought to be the finished article ( in which case someone else would have bought him!) Not as optimistic about his future now. We really are are on the breadline aren't we?

2 of the best goals we've ever scored in the one game!

I remember we scored 2 fantastic goals that game! I can't remember who scored the other one though. Was it a Tugay special direct from a corner?

But he'll play a blinder in this game!

That really is exquisite work from Rankin-Costello.
