The debacle that followed McGugan came after his wife gave birth to his child...McGugan said he wasn't ready for the weekend game!! He was never seen again. Sad really when you think that for the majority of last season we lacked creativity from midfield due to injury and we had a player on the books who would have more than filled a gap if he had been kept relatively happy and fit. Nothing much McGugan could have done about not getting picked. His face didn’t fit, end of!! Not much more to say IMO. It’s hard to go to any club at any level after that and prove yourself in such a short space of time, when lacking match fitness from the outset.

Nonsense mate. McGugen was and is still a T. W. A. T. He had a good loan spell with us but as soon as he was through the door and contracted he couldn't give a throw. My father in law is very good friends with Stuart Gray and Mr Gray didn't want him signed! Look at his past! Every manager has sacked him off.

If you mean few injuries, you are mistaken as Burnley had more than their fair share of injuries in both the 2013/14 & 2015/16 promotion campaigns. Be interesting to see there appearance stats for that last promotion season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work for a very large high street supermarket, I turn up every day and do the least amount of work as I can get away with, and proper take the pee with fag breaks. Do you think I should be embarrassed that I'm ripping the shoppers off and be banging on the managers door for more jobs to do? People get glossy eyed because it's football, but to footballers surely it's only a job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 What you didn’t see is that they had a fun kick about with those girls and Hutch got red carded for taking one of those young ‘uns out of the game with a knee high tackle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I would be running myself into ground for that kind of money either. But 30-35k a week I would be working as hard as possible to try to play ,I'd be ashamed to be happy to pick that loot up every week doing next to nothing .

Yes...in 2015/16 promotion season, Boyd played 44 out of 46, Jones 41. In 2013/14 promotion season, Jones started in 46 out of 46. In 2015/16 both Marney and Barnes missed most of the season with injury. In 2013/14 Vokes, Marney and Ings missed several games through injury.

If we only have say Lee and Fletcher missing all next season I'll take that and be confident of a top 6 finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was taken on Monday. Interesting that one of the long term injured is missing, Either he’s not yet at the stage of recovery to be walking around or the others don’t want to be photographed with him. Winnall.?.

ReluctantNicko Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) You could say so...but it also depends when injuries occur to key players. Kieran Trippier only missed 6 matches in 4 seasons at Burnley but 5 of them were in the promotion run-in in 2013/14 including the virtual title-decider at home to Leicester in March which we lost 2-0 with Trippier, Marney, Vokes and Ings all missing at the same time.
