    We rightly will be targeting this game as 3 points to pick up.

    As the club message has been since before the start of the season "We aren't here to take part - we are here to make history."

    And every step, every move made backs up the statement.

    If ever there’s a time for being confident and boisterous, it’s now

    Surprised we're in black and not blue tomorrow.

    It was 2 close games last season but I think we edged both.

    A point on the road is a good point in this league but I think we can grab the 3. Let's just keep the momentum going.

    13/5 FTW for those inclined

    If we cant be confident now with the squad we have assembled when can we be?

    Its a long season, December is a brutal month, if we have to stay calm now after a brilliant start I assume people have to be calm in December when we probably get battered most games?

    Thanks again RTB for laying the platform for what hopefully will be another 3 points. This transfer window has strengthened our hand considerably and we now have a balanced side that gives us every chance of a successful season OaU..

    As I said on here before. Last seasons results and performances mean nothing. Both teams have changed. The only thing that has stayed the same are the head coaches.

    Bossed him. You can’t legislate for 2 missed penalties.

    Seems clear Mukiele is seen as about ready wasn’t it mentioned in the presser?

    Cracking thread again @RTB thank you again for yours and @Smug in Boots company after last weeks game. Perfect way to round off a brilliant day! So on to Burnley. Basically we’re going to win! Reggie’s dog told me so it must be true! Hey said “Kirkyboy…. This is what we’re going to do to Burnley..” then cocked his leg against a tree and pi$$ed all over it! <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    Absolutely mad isn’t it, talking about ‘dropping’ a player and his replacement is Enzo who would walk into a lot of teams around us.

    Only recall gan to Burnley once must’ve been under promotion probably McCarthy not even sure of the result
    All I remember at full time their stewards stood in front of our end to stop any of lot gan on the pitch yet the home fans invaded it
