Red Exile Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Last time I was at Turf Moor we rode our luck but Vasko's goal got us the points and on we went to the play-off final... ...the fortunes of City and Burnley since then suggest that they're a rather well run club...and we're something else. Did I expect a win?...not under the current manager...but then I doubt that supporters of Oxford or Lincoln or Wolves expected wins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was about half a reserve side tbh. Red Exile you are right, they do seem well run- but Turf Moor is nothing like Ashton Gate, do they have all the off the field revenue potential of us? Absolutely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the results around today, why should we be pleased we only lost by 2 goals?! Spot on and against a far from full strength Burnley - sums up a lot of our support who are too easily pleased - must be the same disease Lansdown has...

So what we have to do to be a yo yo club between the prem and the Championship is not have all our off field revenue. I will e mail SL immediately and tell him where he is going wrong.

Who the hell knows- they are just a better run club it seems, **** know s what we have to do- maybe we are in a better long term position, but football is sometimes inexplicable. There are lots of clubs at this level with better off field infrastructure and the like than Burnley, they are perhaps just an outlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foregt it and concentrate on Tuesday night. Normally I would agree with this but the 2 goals conceded were both same old same old, one thing is for sure if we do not manage the highlighted portion then we will lose.

I suppose you know the players' 'correct positions', do you? 2-0 to a premiership team is no disgrace. Do you blame Lee Johnston for Duric missing a point-blank header in the first half? When are these players going to step up? Remind me again who signed 18 of these players who need to "step up"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squire Dastardly Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Call me old-fashioned but I would have preferred it if we had tried to win. Both Wycombe and Accrington lost to premier league sides but they lost with honour. We didn't. We just lost and were grateful it was only 0-2.

You happy with this shite that's served up at the moment then are you? Ahhh, I get it. You're a super fan, apologies. Burnley weren't a full strength team. When Bournemouth got knocked out recently, they fielded their reserves pretty much. Would you still class that team as 'premier league'? These so called' bigger teams' rest a lot of their players now for cup games, therefore these teams are there for the taking, not for us to just be in awe of their league status and roll over.

You have to be as weak as some of the players with this......and "we just have to believe"...has to be amongst the most spineless,purile,mentally void,meaningless and wan approach I have read on here of late-so well done for that. You could apply to ML for the position of LJ's 'post match assessment' scribe with this-plus a nice sideliner for the 'goodbye address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a particularly reassuring statistic though, is it? It's pretty clear our beating Fleetwood did naff all to boost the team, as we went away to another Championship team in poor form and beat our record of league losses, and it's quite possible the run we are on now could extend against Wednesday. People can have as much faith in LJ as they want, but seems a little odd people are taking umbrage and rapidl correcting posters over the fact we beat Fleetwood, when in the broader context, all it has really done is delay a tricky league game away to Villa so it falls in the middle of a bunch of other tricky away games. We're deep in it, and beating Fleetwood to set up a loss to an under-strength Burnley side hardly qualifies as worth talking up right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just clinging to any tiny ray of hope at this dismal time! I understand; just not sure there is any silver lining currently. For the record, below is our record over the last 20 games in all competitions (so since 1 October/Forest at home); 20 games (17 league, 3 cup) 14 lost (13 league, 1 cup) 2 drawn (1 league, 1 cup) 4 won (3 league, 1 cup) Goals for - 19 (18 league, 1 cup) Goals against - 30 (28 league, 2 cup) Scorers over that period; Abraham x8 Wilbraham x3 Paterson x2 Tomlin x2 Freeman O'Neil Flint Own Goal (Murphy, Cardiff) So, there it is in black-and-white. Not even scored a goal a game over that period, and of those who've found the net, just Flint, Abraham and (only recently) Paterson actually start for us regularly at the moment. We're in dire, dire form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And before you say "do you expect to win against a premier league side", no, no I ******* don't, but what I do expect is a little bit of fight. What I do ******* expect is a squad to be ******* balanced when you've spent in the region of £10m. What I expect is players to be simply played in their correct position. I expect fight. I expect passion. I don't expect a record breaking 9 games without a win. For god sake, something needs to change. How can anyone still back this manager? I could literally scream.

That's party because we have to focus on the league but it's also because I'm becoming a bit numb with disappointment after defeat after defeat after defeat. Burton won too so the table makes worrying reading... I think the most scary thing for me is the complete apathy I felt about the whole outcome yesterday. Not even a hint of anger or exasperation.

Well yes now but when we won up there with Mr Vasko that could have been us, By resources and the like- and I know the game has changed a lot in the last 10 years- they should be a lower midtable Championship side. They are vastly overachieving, Bournemouth ditto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
