More to so with the excellence of the previous manager ,who sadly for Hudders decided to leave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hepphep 175 Posted July 29, 2022 Burnley is sure playing some good football! They also have lots of variation in building the chances, so hard team to defend against Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry I think it's more Huddersfield being poor than Burnley looking good. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,139 Posted July 29, 2022 Burnley have lost a fair few players but their core is still PL, whereas Huddersfield seem to have had to tighten their belts a little too much along with their manager leaving…not a great mix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don’t be Krul 452 Posted July 29, 2022 When are you lot gonna learn? It's not Burnley, it's Vincent Kompany's Burnley 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,592 Posted July 29, 2022 Huddersfield punched well above their weight last season, and even if they'd kept their squad together, they would've found it extremely difficult to mount another promotion challenge. The fact they've lost several important players, and Corboran, means they're likely to finish mid-table at best (and I was thinking that before kick off). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 8,020 Posted July 29, 2022 Massive difference in class so far. Burnley should be three up by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MORDENCANARY 71 Posted July 29, 2022 Difficult to fully get a handle on Kompany's Burnley due to just how poor the opposition have been. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duke63 736 Posted July 29, 2022 There is no way Burnley can play at that level intensity over 90 minutes for 46 games. West Brom started that way last season and soon ran out of steam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,908 Posted July 29, 2022 Nothing proven after 45 minutes. Whilst I do think they'll be in the top 6, Huddersfield do look pretty rubbish. We tonked Blackburn 4-1 away in the opening game a few years back and finished 8th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naturalcynic 817 Posted July 29, 2022 Huddersfield booed off the pitch at half-time. I believe some have described such behaviour as “tin-pot”. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MORDENCANARY 71 Posted July 29, 2022 Indeed and despite all Burnley's control they're only one up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luton, Watford and Hull in their next three after this... how many points they have after four games will be a much better barometer of where they're at.

Rather than open a fourth stand with all the costs that entails (staff, stewarding etc) they close it unless ticket sales justifies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terminally Yellow 2,614 Posted July 29, 2022 That Anjorin looks a player. We were linked weren't we? Seems like the sort of player Dean Smith would want in his midfield, big, dynamic, strong, picks up the ball and runs at the opposition. Huddersfield looking better this half.

Google Bot 3,922 Posted July 29, 2022 That kick out from Thomas, imagine the fuss that would've been made in the prem league. Must say I do like this league PL does my head in! 1 minute ago, Terminally Yellow said: I would have thought an upper tier would be cheaper to run than a lower tier. Probably more to do with them getting decent advertising revenue from those banners, is the real reason now I think about it more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, booing your team at half time in the first game of the season when 1-0 down is pretty ridiculous, even if they have been crap. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
