Not going, but it’s the one week a year I get involved horse betting. Usually a few resident experts I follow on here. Anyone got any tips? |

Yep, agreed. Bit of momentum, coming off decent performances, love the line, up strong bench. They’re struggling.
Ground set for a dire performance and abject defeat!
Or, have we genuinely turned a corner - hope so! |

Field is tenacious, works hard and is really good at breaking up play. Same time he gives far too many needless free kicks away in dangerous areas and offers nothing going forward. Makes darting runs into space, demands the ball dramatically and then passes back to whoever passed it, but not in a way that creates space! I was looking forward to see how we went without him which says it all. |

Ainsworth came in and tried to get the team playing direct football and we couldn’t do it as don’t have the players.
Marti has come in and tried to get us to play total passing football and we can’t do it as we don’t have the players.
I’m not sure what form of football we have the players for other than losing football.
No idea if we can make it happen financially, but if we can, would seem to make sense to have a total clear out of the type of players that don’t fit into whatever we are aiming for as a club and then go get some that will.
Not sure if I can watch Dunne play out the back much longer. Or cope with 17 passes from a goal kick, 3 of which nearly get intercepted, manage to get to half way and then play another 6 backwards ending up with someone passing it back to keeps. |

I think he did this for Newcastle and after us at Burnley. He was mainly useless for us. Thought he was beckham, made Karl Henry look like Pirlo. Shit at football, gobshite, disrespectful the club, ego big as a house. The support for him from our supporters has always baffled me! |

Deft touches, round the corner passes, good control and can beat a man. Their goal started off with his sloppy header though and at the end the crowd was on his back after he didn’t seem to have legs or desire to chase after an over hit through ball. He’s not fit, or at least match fit, but does look like there is a player there. |

Strong recommend. Went to a stag do (late 30’s early 40’s)there couple of years ago and had a brilliant time. There are lakes nearby with activities and bars are great. We had a local as one of the group which made a big difference, but even so will def go back with family over next few years. |

Only listened to it last night. When talking about shabby treatment of the youngsters (beyond the warburton jab) he touched on senior pros having been esp unwelcoming. Guessing whoever that was about will have left the club now, had you heard that before? |

Attacking wise we've got Willock, Chair, Smyth, Dykes, Armstrong, Kolli, Kelman, Adomah.
I don't hate it. |

Without knowing insider info I think fair to assume that Willock isn’t drawn to Ainsworth’s fuc* possession direct football and has checked out.
Also fair to say that having checked out its best to sell up now.
He’s not hustly bustly, whereas chair, smyth, Armstrong and dykes all are. Square peg round hole etc. interesting to see if he kicks on from here. |

If it’s the same one - pretty sure it is - he’s an adventure on an away day. Unafraid of upsetting the locals, or anyone else! To be travelling the length and breath at his age on his own is incredible! |

Dunne will be Dunne regardless, blood and guts puts his head in, loud - don't think you lose anything not having him captain. Field has an old head, seems to enjoy team mates respect and given Captain might be a bit more vocal than he would otherwise be. |

Was champ the one with four squares and a ball? If so used to play it at Brackenbury Primary school in the 80's- can't remember the rules though! |

Thanks for sharing - good watch. I like his passion, his communication and really, really hope he gets us going this season. He’s 100% isn’t he. Made me think of Redknapp in a portacabin going through that days runners and riders, moaning about his knee and plotting his next mega waged big name waster. At least Ainsworth will give everything he’s got. |

For balance he turned in one of the worst performances I've ever seen a footballer give away at Blackpool in the cup. Determined to be sent off he had to be subbed after only 26 minutes. |

Hear what you're saying, but surely there's a happy balance?
Constantly harping back to last season and how he's only had his thoughts concerning the player's weak mentality seems self serving to me.
Or put another way, in what way does it help him get the best out the squad he's got?
Is he more interested in preserving his reputation than anything else?
Appreciate it's a tough gig he's walked into and I'm not saying he's wrong about the players, just doubtful his public shaming approach is the best way of turning things around. |

I’d quite like someone to ask him if he raised his concerns about our squads mental fragility when interviewed for the job.
Can’t get it out enough, with no option to get anyone out or bring anyone in not sure I see any upside beyond him absolving himself of any responsibility when we’re shit.
Not me guv, they’ve always been like this.
Doesn’t fill me with confidence. |

Live up North and sit next to a Burnely fan who has seen him play loads.
Says he needs two decent chances to score and his first touch isn't amazing, but is hard working, got an eye for a goal and is fast. Overall he thinks he's a great signing for us. |
