The Claret Boys are
back once again in the ranks of the English Premier League, alongside of its wishes
of a long stay in England’s top tier league and not make it into a brief
promotion as they did a couple of years. Once again, Sean Dyche his return alongside
with his Burnley bunch marks another campaign full of many challenges and
looking forward to reach many goals.
He is not looking for
anything spectacular or trying to create all around headlines but just wants
his squad to take it one match at a time and in return net some points and stay
away from the infamous relegation spots.
As many remember the
Clarets and Foxes two years ago after promoted simultaneously to Premiership,
one of them stayed put in the Leicester City Boys, and Burnley descended to
Championship.
What these did in their second year return as the fairy tale the
Foxes gave us in last campaign, will these Clarets do same, do not bet on it!
Still this squad in its
current state of just promoted, some of its players are living up the dream or
honeymoon, and its returning players alongside the new faces this squad maybe
will offer us a decent and fair set of performances.
So far, the club has
not broken its bank by making any big name signings, but with the crop they
have signed ahead of this campaign set to start in the second weekend of
august, the Clarets can make it an all-around impact in their first match.
As this
club scouts have landed quality players in Icelandic star in this past Euro, in
Johann Berg Gudmondsson, kid wonder Jimmy Dunne in its defense and eighteen
year old and Keeper Nick Pope.
Burnley front office
with these new faces will see some improvement in its eleven areas of much need,
by far one of them for their Boss Sean Dyche will be its defensive backfield in
need of reinforcing in order to become a more competitive and a nightmare for
opposing strikers.
For Manager Sean
Dyche assembling a contender will be one of his priorities as well molding it
to be one that will survive the whole campaign and enduring a strenuous schedule
this league offers as well in its internal competitions, here the Clarets can
make a decent stand.
In their preseason, the
Clarets have shown a decent display in their game and with rooms of improvement
by its man in the helm, this squad will make a nice run in their return to the
big circuit and maybe they can make a run in assurance their permanency for
another campaign.
Very well having in their
schedule the likes of Spain’s Real Sociedad, Scotland’s recently promoted Glasgow Rangers
and Swiss side Stade Nyonnais in their
level, with Bolton, Braford and fourth division Morecambe FC, the Clarets record so far is one win and one draw.
Another point that caught
my eye is the ways many of the so-called small squads in Premiership have purchase
their players from Championship and League one squads, opening the prospects of
new players in the league and development in their immediate future.
Burnley
has made its purchases so far in the promotion leagues and so far so good and
you may never know what these chaps will bring with them.
Still another dark
cloud that can hover over the horizon of the Clarets is that their Manager
considered as a top rated Boss and once touted for the England job, but his experience
was a minus to for the nod.
As the English FA is
currently in talks with current Sunderland Boss Sam Allardyce, the name of Sean
Dyche mentioned to take over as his successor at Stadium of Light to direct the
Black Cats destinies.
However, this is a
simple rumor and for the time by Sean Dyche will continue in front of the house
at Turf Moor, with a continuance of delivering to its followers many
satisfactions and now in their upcoming Premiership adventure.
