[Amo]

But he still took home the match ball.

But he still took home the match ball.

Did he eat that as well ?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

We are there for the taking,really hurts to say this.Morale will be shot to pieces after tonight.

[Tom]

Could be very very ugly

There was a lot of anger at full time tonight, if we lose there will be a lot more people a lot angrier and being goaded by our rivals

Lose and the Appleton out campaign will start

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

You know what worries me the most Tom..most of these so-called players in our shirt dont give a flying @#/?..we're screwed.

Lose and I think the Appleton out campaign will be unstoppable.

Appleton should pick 11 from the Blackburn End on Sunday if he wants some passion and winning mentality.

[forumquizmaster]

Oh well!..might as well try and get into the spirit of things.

BRFCS'S very own Claret 'n' boo gruesome 'top lads' two-some in their Sunday best for Ewood...

To be fair both of these guys are better looking than Grant Hanley

[Mercer]

According to Cyer, more long term injuries tonight. Hammies for Olsson2, King (again), a medial ligament for Bentley and bad ankle for Campbell.

Morale must be very, very low and Burnley will never, ever have a better chance.

I think it's almost inevitable we will lose and what happens then is anyone's guess.

[JAL]

Lose and I think the Appleton out campaign will be unstoppable.

Definitely !

We can beat Burnley..... but can a Appleton team beat them.

[perthblue02]

Lets just hope the clean sheet ,win and appearance bonuses for March have been targeted for this game

[davefarnworth]

Appleton's a desperate untried manager. Got rid of our playmakers. Brought back players desperately unfit. Desperate manager. Spot the adjective, fellow English teachers. Pune in their ignorance and "humble" arrogance have a lot to answer for. BURNLEY ARE CRAP (HELL IT'S cHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL AND WE SHOULD BE BETTER THAN THE mILLWALLS OF THIS LAND, LOSING THEIR TWO STRIKERS). Inept's a word that comes to mind like my lack of control on the caps lock). Got to laugh though. About to lose to Burnley when a few years ago we were scared of Steve Kindon (Fear to the rescue that day)

These injuries since Appleton took over are coming so thick and fast now, they can't be completely coincidental now can they? He must be doing something wrong on the preparation/conditioning side somewhere along the line.

[Audax]

Like it says on top, 3 games in a week. So, that's not all but it could be a factor on injuries.

[perthblue02]

plus looks like the pitch is not in great condition , through weather? cost cutting in maintenance ? is this same thing happening at the Training pitches.

Doesn't really matter what condition the pitch is in considering the ball is wizzing through the air all the time.

[G Somerset Rover]

Just make sure we go out there and keep it tight. Don't worry about scoring. If we get a lucky bounce then so be it. Oh and remember to zip it to the centre halves heads at 90mph for the whole match.

[sharpysharps]

David Jones straight back in the side for this, replace pedersen in midfield, perhaps jones in the team will allow dunny to be a bit more creative in linking up with the strikers.

Agreed Simon, especially the continuous stream of hamstrings.

Mind you, there's some on her that maintain he's got the players fitter so it may be down to really really bad luck. A bit like last night's result.

When we had that game called off due to rain a couple of months back I had deep suspicions, and when you look at the state of our pitch now it seems clear that we've severly cut back in terms of ground investment - amongst everything else. The pitch looks horrid.

[longsiders1882]

You really didn't watch us the other night did you? You are worrying without cause, we are also dreadful

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

The law of averages says you are due a win Longsiders,fill your Claret boots come Sunday...our so called players dont give a flying one,its only the fans who can be bothered.

[SamDingle]

Reading this board is like reading ours. Negative, dimwitted tactics, hoofball, lethal striker left to rot, fans past caring...

It's been rebranded 'El Crapico' on the Dingle forum. I'd put everything on a 0-0, with over-excited police outnumbering apathetic fans.

Just as a side note, if we do finally win, your '34 years' will immediately become our '3 years', using the same calculating method I guess. All very hypothetical right now seeing as how scoring goals is way down Dyche's list of priorities.

[philipl]

The end of our domination.

You obviously haven't watched an Appleton team. We've scored in one game out of the last seven.
