    Another manager of the month award for Dyche.

    Do you think Burnley can really keep this up until the end of the season?

    At what point do we start to consider them as promotion contenders? Or have we already?

    Is Dyche really that good!?

    Im happy with it, let them have the pressure of being top ... If they do stay the course it will be a remarkable achievement and they would deserve it..
    but there is a very long way to go..logic dictates that squad size and loss of form and unforeseen circumstances will finally come into play...<ok>

    Having just played QPR, Reading and Burnley consecutively, my opinoin is that QPR are by far the best team we have played this season (we were lucky to get a point from them but were unlucky not to beat Burnley and Reading) - that said, the way Burnley came back from 2 goals down shows how much desire they have!!

    Wouldn't you all prefer to do a Cardiff and get some space between us and second?

    I didn't think there was much pressure on Cardiff last season because they just kept winning. There was never a point where if they lost they would fall down the table.

    I think us and Cardiff are very simaliar.

    Always expected to go up but never do. The year the arent expected to they go and do it

    Cardiff was nothing special just consistant. We havent been anything special this season just consistant

    Playing really well - gives 100% every game and links up well with McDonald - keeping Morison and Easter out of the team on merit.
    Would love to keep him, but doubt we could afford him as I would think you'd want at least half of the £2M that you paid for him!!

    I think the club would take 750k.

    But I wouldn't personally. I think he's got a future with us.

    His contract is up at the end of the season so I think you could pick him up for around 250K-500K depending on if Nigel actually decides to sell him.

    Personally, having played the top 3 and Reading. Burnley were by far and away the best team we have played and from that game look to be very deserving of their position. I thought it was just a bore draw between us two teams where both teams just sorta cancelled each other out and QPR were very very fortunate imo. to come away from us with a win, Reading were just a fortunate to have beaten us as well and actually think that if they played like they did against us now (with our rejuvenated formation and selection) then we would probably beat them, Burnley on the other hand were almost untouchable in our game, so dominant in the first half.
