Not the best of months in October.Good to end it on a high though as if we lost again then I think heads would of dropped and with November pitting me against 2 of the more tougher opponents and December starting off with a very hard game then I would be fearing another poor run.
Not complaining too much about how this month went.2 decent draws at home to Tottenham and away to hull.I do draw too many but we are a club who are still happy with those draws.A very good win against millwall with will keane getting his first 2 for burnley.The Liverpool defeat was a match I don't think I stood much of a chance in really but when we did go in front I did have my hopes up a bit.
Still in the top half of the table.Not by much though and December is very tough.None of the away games are easy and 2 of the 4 home games are against 2 of the biggest teams in the league.The other 2 are the only games I am expecting maximum points from.Liverpool and arsenal still doing well in the league and at the other end I think Cardiff and reading will start to get adrift a bit.

Even though we lost those 2 we still find ourselves in the top 6.Great season so far and I am asking myself if its to early to be thinking of European qualification or if its premature.The next couple of months gives us a hard finish to the year so ill know more come January.It seems man uts have caught my bug from last season drawing too many games.

A very solid month.Started off with yet another draw but an away point in Swansea isn't bad.It could of been bad though as they dominated me.Another trip to south wales and a very good 3 points.Pione sisto has been immense this season and got another double and assist in this one.Newcastle did the double over is last season so im happy we beat them this time around and got our first clean sheet.Pione sisto has started this season on fire and has won the young player of the month twice in a row.He got it in the first month last season.
I would of never thought we would of been in 4th place at any stage for another 4-5 seasons at least but we have been great.Admittedly we haven't come up against any of the big boys.Everton at home was our hardest opposition but you can only beat what's in front of you.Got some tough games coming up.

One more purchase I felt was needed.Cattermole was injured for 2 of my opening league games and pavelka for all 3 and I had to play young Davidson there so I felt we needed another lad who can play the ball winning midfielder role.While pearson isn't amazing he is still young and English so to bring him in for 975k is good business.
A decent start.Winning my opening game was important as west brom will surely be my competition in the fight for survival.Good points away to palace and at home to everton too.
After 3 games I find myself in mid table.Spent a lot of time there last season before my nosedive in form made me drop a few places last season.Surprised to see Liverpool up there but doubt they will stay up there throughout the season.I personally think all the teams above us and Tottenham below us are better than us and I can compete with the rest on our day.
Disaster in the cup.Went out on penalities to league 1 notts county.Thats one season objective I have failed.At least I can concentrate on the league now and I will have a fitter squad but I am not happy about going out.

I do think I have made improvements on most positions.Leali is just as good as kim seung - gyu was and is younger.He also came in on a free which is always a good thing.I also think hamer is a better backup then gilks was.My defence has certainly got better and has a more English feel to it.Micah Richards came on a free,husband is better than mee and bath is a very good defender already I think.The cdm spot was a problem.I play it with a ball winning midfielder in there.Kavlak was always getting booked and n'diaye wasn't very good there.Cattermole (I know he will pick up bookings but he is perfect there otherwise) and pavelka are both good as ball winning midfielders.Brought in hughes for 13m and carroll for 4.1m.Both good and English.Callum mcmanaman and Patrick Roberts are both quality wingers who will improve the team a lot and are again both young and English.Up top I got rid of sordell and vokes and brought in will keane on a free and james Wilson on loan.Neither will be first choice and I think they are decent back ups to danny ings.Unfortunatly I bought yahaya and straight away have work permit problems.He is now on loan at banik Ostrava.The other 2 lads I haven't mentioned (Davidson and coote) are really for the future but will be in and out for the first team aswell as appearing regularly for the u21s.
A massive 51.2m spent on players.Some on high wages too.As long as the projection is still decent I will be spending.I will never go too far but I think all these can contribute at some point this season.No doubt over next couple of seasons at least.
Only 10m more spent than received so was a good window.Got some good fees for some of them too.
My tour of Norway wasn't the best really.Unbeaten after it though including a good win against Anderlecht.
Media don't think ill finish as high as last season and I think they maybe right.I would just like to stay in the division again but there are more than 4 worse teams than me.Shocked to see Liverpool so high up after last season.Think that maybe a reputation thing.Millwall overwhelming favourites to go down.
The board have certainly stepped up what they're asking for this season.I think they want a bit more than we might get if I am honest.Have to get through 2 rounds in both cups but im not 100% on what they mean by be competitive in terms of what position they would deem that as.
Was hoping for a commercial link option to come up and at the 3rd time of asking it has.Never hear of them though but who cares.This can only help me.
Got myself a trip to notts county in the league cup.Depending on how things go in terms of who I draw in the first couple of rounds I am in a might give this one a go.Not sure if I will get anywhere near as far in the FA cup this time around

Nice one kez.Burnley are having a decent season in real life but I do reckon they will end up going down.Being debt free is certainly a good thing.The club have pretty decent finances.I have already made all my transfer for the season which will be on my next update very soon and the finances are still ok but the projection isn't as impressive as it was.
Just a quick update now to let you know about the summer news.Ill be showing my transfers,pre season results etc in the next update but theres a lot of screenshots so didn't want put them all in one post.
The fans voted on they're player of the year and unsurprisingly it went to danny ings.He did have a good season assisting almost as much as scoring.He could of had so many more goals but missed a lot of one on one chances.Happy to see the fans taking to domen crnigoj.He has had a good season.
After obtaining my first licence I asked the board if I could go for the next one.They agreed and I carry on on the road to getting them all.I know it will take a few seasons to get them all but I have plenty of time.
With my new contract that I signed at the beginning of the year only being a one year extension and having had some success last season I asked for a new contract.This was accepted straight away and now I have that bit more job security and can focus on building on last season with the worry about my contract being up at the end of the current season.
Very happy to see these 2 both getting accepted.Always been a fan of developing players and if some come from my academy as opposed to being buys then it makes it that bit better.

Not the ending I had in mind.That late equaliser at west ham wasn't deserved but was welcomed all the same.Got a tanking off Sergio aguero and man city.Never really had a chance especially with how aguero started.The Newcastle game wasn't a good ending and didn't fill me with confidence going into the cup final.
14th place in the end.At the start of the season id of been chuffed to bits but back in January I was doing much better.The last time I tasted victory in the league was February.13 games ago.I always knew the squad would have a poor run and to be honest I am glad it happened at the end as it cant go into and effect the new season whereas if it happened at the beginning then I would be in trouble throughout the season.
So going into the cup final against Watford I was on a terrible run but my cup form is very good.Could it continue or was the league form to effect it.?
It did in the end.I play my matches only showing key highlights and they must of had 3 or 4 to my 9 or 10 but gomes in the net for them was great.I am gutted about it but I suppose I didn't really need the added games as I need to retain my premier league status first and foremost.
The board seem happy enough.I am surprised at the fans liking abbiati.I only played him in 1 league game and all the cup games but he didn't really do great in them regardless of our cup run.
Always a good thing clearing the debts.
Not surprised in the slightest sisto was up there.He has been good.I am surprised david jones is.Domen crnigioj has had an excellent debut season.
With all things youth still not great this is a step in the right direction.My youth intake in march gave us a group of stinkers really.Hopefully in the coming years I will get a couple of good ones.
Board have given me a nice transfer kitty.I will be tinkering with that a bit and will be moving on a few of my lads so that will change with both wage and transfer budgets likely to go up.
Just a quick roundup of how the lads did personally.I will be looking at getting Michael keane in on a permanent basis as I was impressed by him.Strandberg was poor when he played so ill be looking at moving him on along with mee and ward.Duff has already said he will be retiring at the end of the season along with matty taylor.Veli kavlak was our own cheik tiote.Only carlos sanchez got more yellow cards and I don't want that sort of liability so he will also be moved on if I can.Ndiaye wasn't that great either.Dean marneys contract is up very soon.Im in 2 minds whether to retain him or not.Other players in midfield I might try to move on are Michael kightly and George boyd.Ings was our best forward but he missed a lot of chances and he might not be our starting striker in the new season.Sordell will most probably go and sam vokes could go or I might keep him but he will be 3rd choice.

The home game against Chelsea was never winnable.They should of scored far earlier and far more goals so I am happy to of kept it down to 1.The other 3 were very frustrating.Especially the palace game.To concede the equaliser so late on was a right kick in the teeth especially after that 9 minute of destruction by us.Sods law that I only scored 1 goal in the previous 5 and when I scored 4 I conceded 4.Also as you can see by the referee performance in the match screen I did have a couple of decisions go against me.
A bitter sweet month for me as it was confirmed I had beaten the drop at the beginning but we are on a poor run of form without a win in 9 games and slipped down to 12th.Hull are just a point behind me and on a decent run too so they will probably take over me.Those high amount of draws isn't ideal.Dont lose too many compared to what people would think at the start but cant seem to buy a league win right now.
So with that poor form in the league what happened at Wembley against Liverpool?
An amazing win.I maybe in poor form but Liverpool aren't much better and they had a pretty injury hit squad too.Sam vokes was right on form in this.With ings out I feared for the worst but Im delighted to get through to the final of the FA cup for only the 4th time in burnleys history.
A massive chance to win it too.Watford beat Newcastle 2-1 in the other semi final and surely we could win it for the first time since 1914.I do hope we win it but the extra games next season will make me do a massive recruitment drive.

No wins from any league games and a heavy defeat at white hart lane.Not ideal whatsoever.
After that disappointing month we have dropped a cuple of places.If we could of turned a few of them draws into wins we could of been much better off but lets face it we have done great so far.I think the lowest we will finish is 14th which would be a great achievement but with how its gone so far I wouldn't be happy with that.That fight for survival is looking as close as ever with 2 points separating 5 teams with sunderland still adrift.Everton continue to upset the odds though that race for the champions league spots looks almost as good as the bottom.
This was impressive.A 5-1 demolition of stoke even if 3 of them were penalities and they ended up with 9 men.Unluckily for me though that game cost us.
This happened the game before the everton game and again I am left without my main striker for a long period.None of the other strikers have looked at all convincing so this is a major worry.
I did want Watford for obvious reasons but Liverpool are a team I have done well against.The injury to ings is a massive blow but we do have sisto back at least.

Cheers as always dan.Got a few hard games between now and the end of the season but I am hoping to pick up a few more points and see how far I can go in the cup.
#232602 Rise of the clarets

In terms of results this wasn't a good month but we still played well I think.Lost narrowly at Southampton who turned out to be the in form team of the league this month with 5 wins from 5 and the stoke defeat actually could of gone either way but ings didn't have his shooting boots on.Great win against hull and a great draw against man utd.The fight to survive the srop looks interesting with 5 teams looking to not be 1 of the 2 who will join sunderland in the championship.Not down just yet but surely going to happen.
Bottom club sunderland stand in my way of a quarter final place.Again I wasnt looking at the cups this season but if I have got this far why not see just how far I can go with premier league survival practically secured.
A very nervy win but a win all the same.Berntsen had a good game and is now joint top scorer of the competition.
A game against stoke coming up and I think we can win it.They have took 4 points off us this season but were still doing well and I think we can give most teams a game on our day.
