Really impressed with Danny Batth too so far. Hope we can keep him fit all season!

Are Riis and Kaminski related? Absolute doppelgänger

See you later Turkey teeth

Beck our best player by a country mile, and looks like the only player who might do something going forward. But there is absolutely zero creativity with Travis, Baker, Tronstad in midfield and 3 CBs behind them.

Ohashi pulled back exactly the same as Bowler but no yellow for PNE as he didn’t fall over after a few steps

Prediction: 1-0 Rovers, Cantwell from the bench in front the away end.

Did really well winning the ball early doors on the half way line for our best chance but perhaps made the wrong call slotting it to Ohashi over Dolan

Cannot believe that Carter yellow card. Minimal touch and player goes down 2 steps later. Just feels like it’s going to be one of those games from this Ref

3-0 win and sitting pretty in the table and we still have multiple BRFCS bickering head to heads going down - you just love to see it.

Yeah - loads of them don’t want to be there, and if they’re not far away top 2 in January then a few will want out. Benson was absolutely comically today - you don’t get promoted with trash like that in your squad. Their board is so delusional. All doom and gloom last week and now they actually think that was a good performance. No shot on target and less than 1xG vs 10 men. They’re absolutely useless and miles behind Leeds for sure.

Didn’t the commentator say they didn’t have a shot on target after the 25th minute or something? This Burnley side has only managed more than 1.0 xG in 1 match out of 4 so far. They’re not even making the top 6 with Parker this season then it’ll be complete financial free fall for them after that.

PNE will be off to Shrewsbury next year.

We played with a lot more fight fair enough. But it’s a bit of nonsense this. It was like a 0.01 xG wonder goal that earnt us that point in the actual scoreline. But agree on the general point that it was great to see us put that full fight into it - which we certainly didn’t 2 years ago.

Credit where it’s due - best I’ve seen Travis play for a long time. Burnley were absolutely shite. Referee somehow even worse than shite. An absolute disgrace to the final whistle that ref. Eustace should come out and say the red card was correct but every other decision he made was an utter joke.

Yeah I know that - though I believe it comes into affect if they get promoted. It’s moot point though as we’ve recouped £40m so it’s not a lack of spending because of FFP on our part, it’s a lack of spending through negligence.

Oasis tickets purchased ✅ Beat this lot 3-0 🔵⚪ Buy lottery ticket ❓

How much of the £40m did we spend? Birmingham just dished out £15m for Stansfield in the league below. ”never refuse a cheque” - at Brum they’re also renovating St Andrews (out of FFP budget). Our owners are a disgrace and people will laud over this as a successful window

£10m apparently! L1 financial fair play rules eh.

Long live the Egg

Yeah that's fair enough. Buckley isn't even in the conversation. If it's 2 it'll be 2 of Travis, Tronstad and Baker in that case. It appears Baker is a little more attacking than the other two. Not a bad headache for Eustace to have, squad depth is something we've lacked for a long time (relying on Markanday, Vale, Telalovic, Garrett from the bench). Also - I checked the Stoke forum after the message I replied to, and it looks overwhelming positive towards Baker (i.e. disappointed that he's going), so not really sure what Jim was on about. https://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/313942/baker?page=6 All talking fairly positive about the pick up for Rovers 😄

I'd be amazed if he isn't an upgrade on Travis (although i'm expecting us to go with Travis - Baker - Tronstadt as a 3 if Travis isn't sold)

Also Carsley loves Angel Gomes, think he was an ever present when he managed the U21s.

The best teams in the league always have a few premier league quality loans to compliment their squad. e.g. Hutchinson at Ipswich last season We, in particular, need to make the most of this because of our ‘financial predicament’. But yes, we should be reinvesting a chunk of that £40m of course

Doak is exactly the type of loan a championship side should be targeting. Legit straight into the start 11, like when we signed Harvey Elliott. Hull had Carvalho last season - imagine it’ll be a club like that with an ounce of ambition who end up with Doak.

As in, he has blonde hair down to his shoulders? As that is literally where the comparisons end.
