Against Wolves they are losing because they are shit. Against Blackpool we lost because we couldn't be arsed - also massively missing our usual midfield. Let's hope Burnley are still shit at the weekend and ours put a shift in.

Kompany and money.

We should be doing both.

Have you seen how much they owe?

Doak would be amazing.

A lot disagreed when I said our defence is shite earlier in the window and that we could do with a CB. Someone said, but we've signed Batth and McFadz.

Sounds like Burnley have been terribly ran by Pace and Kompany and now they just need to claw money from anywhere to pay their huge debts off. So it's a mass exodus combined with being unable to bring much in. I was fully expecting their fans to be rubbing their hands at our cup defeat this morning but they seem pretty despondent.

It's the Bos!

No one holding the ball up when Gueye goes off. And without him bullying their defenders it gives them the confidence to come forward more.

Why are we even backpassing it to Pears so much when he's a liability? We even backpass it when we've got loads of options going forward.

Some players were trotting about like it was a friendly. All their manager needed to say at half-time is that most of this lot are half asleep, just have a go at them. An arrogant and lazy performance.

Big Maks hold up play, passing and general play is great, but we need another player who can get the ball in the net. Even if Ohashi is the man, he could get injured and I don't want to see Vale wearing the shirt again. He should go on a permanent somewhere and replacing as he's never going to make the grade here.

Well we've just had a glimpse of what would happen if we have a few injuries. A good CEO would know this without having to witness it, and prepare accordingly. I'll be surprised if ours does anything after he's witnessed it.

Strolling about isn't going to kill them off. Too many players thought they were too good for little old L1 Blackpool.

Buckley & JRC midfield pairing who struggle to compete with a lower league L1 side. Vale is an awful forward and would be lucky to be first choice in a L2 side. One of the oldest defenders in the football league and a bloke who is scared of his own shadow at CB. Pickering one of the slowest fullbacks in the Championship. And then there's Pears. Why did it go so wrong?

They deserved that, along with a massive bollocking. What a set of absolute shithouses. It’s the lack of effort that I can’t bear. Trotting round like they’d already won the game. Players like Vale aren’t good enough for L2. Get rid.

Another chance squandered.

Blackpool are an awful side and we simply strolled around in the first half and didn’t take our chances. Then JRC gives them a free shot in the second. His lazy backpass encapsulated the languid approach of the first half.

Cantwell is exactly the sort of player you'd want to come on against a big local rival 🤔 I'd be disappointed if we aren't also after someone with pace.

I think what the f*** is the expression that first springs to mind. It probably would have been cheaper to sack VK and employ someone like Big Sam. It would seems Pace and co are panicking a bit to pay the bills left by VK, so I can understand the hysteria from the fans. If they get rid of Benson and Brownhill I'd worry for your league status. Even if you bring in some very good signings they need to gel a bit and it's late in the day for that. I imagine a lot of Burnley fans will hope their luck hasn't run out quite yet or you could end up like us.

Is there going to be any serious money spent or will it all go towards paying off creditors?

Are they letting Brownhill and Benson (to Leeds) go?

As I said, I know.

Add to that Stansfield as the marquee signing using the SS money. I know, I know...
