To be fair, no one's been involved that much as we've only played two games ...

... Dara O'Shea off next to Wolves, hopefully before Saturday.

'The right-back has agreed personal terms over a potential move back to his native Brazil.

Vitinho signed for Burnley in 2022 following the club’s relegation. He has played 69 times in the league for Burnley during his time at Turf Moor, and has contributed four goals and four assists'

Two views I've held on the Sheff Wed game that I need to get off my chest;

Firstly, this idea that Sheff Wed were ****e doesn't sit right with me, we forced them into being a lot worse than they are, for me they'll finish in top half this season, I said it before the season and I'll maintain that. They showed early in the game that they had threats, so much of it was physical but they did also play some nice stuff at times, or attempted to at least, we were just brilliant in the middle and very clinical.

Secondly is this view that this game was anything like Southampton at home last season. That game was the definition of giving away a game, they put all the goals bar the last on a plate for us. Their keeper and defence were horrific and as AltEnding said on YouTube, we played on the counter against Soton, where as we dominated Sheff Wed in the middle.

Couldn't agree more. They came out and imo expected to put a young team on the back foot by closing down quickly and pressuring from the front. They thought this would lead to young lads losing their heads and making mistakes. Our lads weren't phased in the slightest and a midfield 3 with an average age of about 19 quickly got on top of them and dominated them.

Already some excellent signs of what the head coach wants them to do and they seem to be happy and confident in the system!

The system got the most out of Roberts as there always seemed to be someone there for 1 touch pass and go he likes.

Jobe and Rigg were unreal, for such young lads they have no right to be so dominant for an entire match! One of them with a older head alongside them guiding them etc...

I think this club is in the best place it's ever been in terms of having the right personality, attitude, character or whatever you want to call it!

Compare them to the hide and seek champion who we paid a decent fee for because he was coming from Man City and had been the next big thing a few years before. Heart the size of a pea and would never have dominated a midfield as long as he had a hole in his arse! As far as I'm concerned he used to cut off the passing channels to himself as he would move behind the opposition player as team mates were looking for a pass!

Night and day this team!

100% mate. Especially the attitude of the club and the players. Certainly in my time supporting the lads.

Out of this world.
