• Pretty pointless exercise at Turf Moor - Dave's take on the Terriers game
  Burnley FC 24 Sep 11:21 - The Bedlington Terrier, 194 views 9 replies
  I definitely think that Huddersfield have an excellent defence that is well organised and very well disciplined. For someone who has always appreciated the value of a good defence, yesterday's match was extremely interesting because the teams cancelled each other out and neither had the skilful players necessary to make it into an attacking spectacular, however, there was still much to admire and a point apiece was just reward for both teams. ....it's the same again from me Sub - very well disciplined defence - just nobody there to test it - sort of cancels itself out - And much as in Huds other PL games - they've managed good possession, but not made the shots - does that mean the opposing side also had a quality defence ?.....the very same opposition that also has difficulty making goals. I think it's big on the illusion...making each other look better than reality....and if it could fail - can always play the majority of the 90mins with 10 men (+quality keeper) defending the goal.....become Defensive Kings - might even get awarded Crowns at the end of the season. ;D

• Player ratings v Huddersfield

  Hendrick is not equipped to play in the role he was given. I'm fast coming to the conclusion that Hendrick is not equipped to play PL football in any role. For what it's worth, poor as he is in this 'floating' role, imo he was even worse at CM in a 4 man midfield last season.

• Run, run, HOOF !
  Burnley FC 23 Sep 19:15 - jiggles, 368 views 7 replies
  Right now the attack isn't working, yet we have five strikers but they chop and change so much they seem unsettled and the midfield has to adjust to different playing styles. I'm not sure bringing in more attackers will help, they may add to the confusion. Sam did well against Chelsea and now is on the bench whilst Wood gets in but has to show how he likes to work. With Everton winning yesterday I wonder if they have turned the corner, but we will need to get goals to win there if Niasse holds his form. Marney may be back soon - he usually helps us win.

• 17 shots on target in 6 PL matches
  Burnley FC 23 Sep 17:04 - ClaretinBudapest, 197 views 5 replies
  We certainly need to sharpen up the action in the final third. I might be wrong (which would be most unusual for me!) but I honestly don't think their keeper made one single save. :( ....around 60mins - Ward passed to Wood.....made a shot/tap tight on the Keepers near post - was saved.....Brady also and not long after - had a shot but was easily saved. I think....that's the lot. ;D

  Hudderfield Town midfielder Danny Williams is ruled out at Burnley with a broken bone in a foot. David Wagner expects striker Laurent Depoitre, who netted against Leicester, to be ready to lead the line at Turf Moor. The 28-year-old Belgian international is said to be sore, as is wingman Rajiv van La Parra, but it’s important the £3.5m frontline signing from Porto pulls through because Steve Mounie is definitely ruled out against Sean Dyche’s team. Another man sidelined at Turf Moor is versatile Collin Quaner, who has a calf injury suffered when going on for the final 16 minutes against Leicester.

• Len McCluskey getting delusional
  Burnley FC 13 Sep 16:59 - oldcolner, 260 views 8 replies
  Do you understand these. BT It isn't all bad as many seem to think. Zero hours contracts suit some workers and allow them to work for more than one employer or not work if they don't want eg mums with children. Here's ACAS take on them - miinimum wages apply by the way. Key points: Zero hours contracts normally mean there is no obligation for employers to offer work, or for workers to accept it. Most zero hours contracts will give staff 'worker' employment status. Zero hours workers have the same employment rights as regular workers, although they may have breaks in their contracts, which affect rights that accrue over time. Zero hours workers are entitled to annual leave, the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage and pay for work-related travel in the same way as regular workers. Protection is given for those on Zero Hours Contracts from an exclusivity clause. When are zero hours contracts used? Zero hours contracts can be used to provide a flexible workforce to meet a temporary or changeable need for staff. Examples may include a need for workers to cover: unexpected or last-minute events (e.g. a restaurant needs extra staff to cater for a wedding party that just had their original venue cancel on them) temporary staff shortages (e.g. an office loses an essential specialist worker for a few weeks due to bereavement) on-call/bank work (e.g. one of the clients of a care-worker company requires extra care for a short period of time). It is important for employers to actively monitor their need for zero hours contracts. In many cases, it may be more effective or appropriate to make use of agency workers, or recruit staff on fixed-term contracts - or it may turn out that the need is permanent and therefore a permanent member of staff can be recruited. Considerations for the employer Easily accessed pool of staff to assist when demand arises No ongoing requirement to provide guaranteed levels of work for staff Can be cheaper alternative to agency fees Considerations for the worker Provides flexible employment on same basic terms as most workers No on-going requirement to accept offers of work and no consequences Gives employment experience and skills
