    Lampard and his connections

    The owner hasn’t changed so I’d be surprised if we got a raft of loans in. And to be honest I hope we don’t. One, maybe two max.

    Confirmed : Lampard Head Coach

    Double edged sword for me. Would I have gone for Lampard - no. Do I think he’ll do well - no. But he manager of our club so I back him and hope he proves me utterly wrong

    What’s your expectation for the new guy?

    Expectation is mid table this year and top 10 next. It’s where we are as a club. It’s by no means a bad place either

    Ellis Simms

    Simms is a strange one. He’s obviously capable of scoring. But his touch and general play is pretty woeful. Moreover I’m just fed up with waiting for him to fire up and really put it all in. I know he has a laid back style but if you’re going to get away with that you need goals to validate it.

    Defence

    Got to play Thomas and Kitching. With mve and Bidwell. It’s simply our best 4. I was utterly amazed when we pursued Binks in the summer and he and Dasilva on our left is just free goals. At the moment we don’t just concede we contrive to concede from positions that should never produce goals...

    John Eustace

    He’s not waiting till the tough games are over. He’s holding out for a bigger sack of cash for him and his mates.

    Yes, has to be this. Not perfect, but the best we have.

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Blaming it on coaching is a cop out. If Binks, Thomas and Lati need to be told that whenever the ball goes down our left side you need to be goal side of your man we’ve got bigger issues than I thought.

    Thomas has a place. He’ll make the odd block and head the odd goal. But he’s so limited defensively, especially positionally. Reminds me a lot of Paul Williams. Gives his all but often does his best work correcting his own mess.

    What worries me about Doug King

    You’re talking about someone who calls his squad “the deck” and is about to appoint Lampard. He may well believe it - which makes it more likely to be wrong.

    Franks immediate to-do list 1) Get a new defence 2) Get Wright fit 3) Never play Sakamoto anywhere but right wing 4) Convince someone to give us money for Torp 5) For the love of god, stop playing five at the back.

    Defence

    A freak event after we’d had the normal “after you Claude” debacle in our own danger zone. Hitting row Z is a horrendously underused tactic from us in those situations.

    What worries me about Doug King

    He has to say that. No team with our defensive unit will ever be top 6.

    Burnley Player Ratings

    Set up to hang on but we have a defence that gifts at least two a game. Fives all round. Binks and Torp 4.

    Defence

    It’s a total rebuild job for me. Dasilva and Binks just can’t defend, enough said. Thomas is a last gasp out of position lunger who gives the ball away with 50% of his passes. Lati is just an old fashioned hoofer that we try and play through. MVE is positionally awful but has pace and Kitching...

    We’re an absolute dream to play against. So many easy goals we give away. Dasilva simply has to come out. It’s embarrassing. Binks the same - absolutely featherweight.

    You wouldn’t be playing behind our back 4. We’ve managed to assemble an array of all the major deficiencies.

    It wasn’t unlucky. We need to stop pissing about there and get laces through the ball. We concede 2 goals a game. Our defence is absolutely awful.
