Poor Man's Burnley

[198bore]

We really are. I've heard Blakey recently likening us to Chelsea! What is he talking about? If we resemble any Premier League team it's Burnley. Chris Wood will be down here in a few years fronting a team managed by Tony Pulis.

I would be well happy to be a Burnley or a Bournemouth for a few seasons

The jacks spent 6 or maybe even 7 seasons in the top flight

2 or 3 seasons would be a start

Re: Poor Man's Burnley

Watching Burnley at the moment, they’re losing but I can’t see any other resemblance to us bar that.

442. Physical, direct, finely tuned percentage football honed over 7 seasons.

Yes, despite them losing they look so much better than the team we played last in the Prem. And a million times ahead of us now, so much quicker, so much more movement than us.
Also, I dont think man for man they are much better than us. Shows would a good coach can do, given time.

Out of interest, in what way did Blakey find us comparable to Chelsea? On the King's Road?

I think he was referring to the pensioners.

Re: Poor Man's Burnley

Feel sorry for Dyche. Getting drawn into narratives on style etc. Fact is not many in football could do what he's done year in year out on such a low budget. He's done a brilliant job and is consistently under appreciated or cast aside because no one quite likes Burnley to watch.

Dyche's issue is often his support in media comes from old school types. The more modern tactics types avoid discussing Burnley through a bit of snobbery. Fact is he's completely maximised their strengths and he transitions Championship footballers to PL standard better than most

Something to think about.

So surely you realise we're unlikely to do so with the current personnel playing the tactics we employ?

Christ there’s some knowledgeable fans on this board, man for man not much better than us? You are in dreamland the players we have are not much better than League 1, apart from the loanees.

They took maximum points from us, and Huddersfield for a start. They also beat Spurs.
