Jeez

9 Of the final 14 matches are against teams below us/bottom end. Probably means nowt but roll the current form forward & we can be confident of a strong finish -possible highest finish in years.

Excellent tonight.

It’s weird isn’t it. I’m encouraged by him, think with backing & a full pre-season we could actually be on for achieving something more.

Fair enough, but a team of Boro’s quality we were one slip away from conceding, saved by the offside call the limo must have had excellent vision as it looked like Greenwood was inside.

Felt like it was a wise move to sit in straight after the break as Boro would no doubt come for us. But to remain like that was suicidal, we got away with it but looked like far more effort defending for 45 like that, fair play to the lads for digging in. We needed the win, I can see the rationale but still thought it was a mental tactical change for the whole half.

This really is a terrible event: awful branding, the excruciating roll out & weak line up etc. Hope they get a reasonable turnout by dishing out discounted tickets as it gets near & at least cover costs.

My hope: The club to get acquired by a sovereign wealth fund of a questionable nation - pumped full of the worlds finest players and used as the gold standard in “sports washing” their human right records clean.

I know we lost but seriously? If he does as you suggest can you pin this to your signature as we watch his career develop with decent service.

Oh no he didn’t!

Maybe but anything else is wishful thinking. Because on what basis is the expectation of more in anyway realistic - it can’t be based on any history at this level.

Why do so many come at it like we’re a premier league parachute team? Reality is we’re a mid table championship club at best who will get raided for best players to stay a float. When was the last time we troubled the playoffs (not including L1) Unlikely to go down or up - we’ll win some lose some - enjoy the ride & let’s hope the board back Liam for next season.

We all know/knew it’s never a top 6 squad, I don’t know why this keep getting quoted, it obvious spin & repeating is as preposterous as the statement itself. Change of coach was never going to revolutionise our season - I can’t imagine anyone thought for a minute it would. But I think we can all agree there are green shoots with Liam & more importantly the board like him so he will be backed which is good for us as fans.

Since when did you start holding up the Johnsons as model professional Managers.

Disagree with this. In no other reputable business do you publicly throw employees under the bus, senior figures are held to account & that is their role but it’s unprofessional in any industry to denigrate your staff like that player or not. He could have tackled this constructively but to be fair he sound thick as mud and good example why not all ex-players have the ability to become Managers.

Really impressive home debut after soo long out this season. Excited to see how he progresses from here on in.

Let-It-Go Seagull

Whoever thought slowly rolling out the lineup is an idiot - the acts are very middle of the road for the genre & the small amount of buzz has been lost. I hope for their sake the remaining acts are actually headline-worthy.

What tune is this sung to?

Why? You said we can’t afford it - so why not a loan. Might make matches more enjoyable.

As in Burney paid 4m, so they have set the Benchmark of what they would expect minimum. Im as disappointed as anyone about Azaz but he chose Boro & was good value.

surely you’re on a wind up here.

So who do you think we should sign then?

Very conservative point of view, that mentality keeps you mid table at best. it was only a few months ago everyone lost it because we did sign a replacement for Scott but we don’t want to spend the going rate for Twine who is literally the best option we can get. I sense it’s mostly because a poster on here advised the club to sign him on a free & was snubbed that’s the thrust of why people are mooning about the price tag:

Sounds good on paper, move on Weimann & bring in Twine. Even if it just till the end of the season it feel like an upgrade & if he really gels then we can make it Permanent. I don’t get what’s not to like about this Why is everyone so fixated on the finances?

Realistically - Twine is going to cost at least 4m as Burnley will look to recoup their investment - equally there just isn’t many attacking players with Championship experience that we can attract. Unfortunately 4-5m is what it will cost us unless we try a league one punt but for every Sykes is an Eisa. I say go for it - we’re desperately lacking in this type of position.
