Battered 1-0 by Wolves, having to rely on Joe Hart of all people to stay in the game.

[Football] Are Burnley relegation contenders this year?
- Thread starter Bozza
- Start date
No team containing goal machine Ashley Barnes will be relegation fodder.
Yes

They were the definition of over achievement last year, for which they deserve massive credit. As much as I dislike Dyche, he has done a brilliant job there.
They have a relatively small squad with limited quality, although they do have an admirable work ethic and togetherness that has got them to where they are. They have some good players, but I would suggest they are a bottom six club in terms of their squad.
Dyche may achieve another miracle, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were in or around the bottom three at the end of the season.

And yes, it's time they left the party. Nobody invited them, they turned up saying it was 'John' who invited them, and they annoy me.

PaLLLLLLLace lost their first seven games without scoring a goal last season, but survived. It's too early to tell.

Wolves were all over them....missed several very good chances. Burnley had 2 shots on target.

They are out now aren't they?
I still think with their 'style' of play they can get enough points to stay up.

Once they qualified for the crap Europa League, I always thought they's be in the relegatiion mix.
But I don't think they'll join Hudd and Cardiff in dropping. Dyche will find an ugly way to accumulate points. The PL only started one month ago.
($$$$ Wolves will break loads of opposing fans hearts this season and play lower budget teams off the park).

It's all pretty much guesswork at this stage of the season, but FWIW my guess is no they won't be.
Cardiff, Huddersfield plus A.N.Other for me - just as long as that's not us!

Yes, on that evidence they are massive relegation contenders, though Wolves were worryingly good.
I thought they'd struggle with that squad and the extra games. Hugely over achieved last season IMHO.

I was impressed with them, they certainly attack and have goals in them which is what keeps you up in this league, the teams that tend to go down all the lowest scorers. Unbeaten at home against Everton, Man City and Burnley is an impressive start.

The stats in their games have been appalling in terms of chances created and chances against - Wolves had 30 shots on goal today.
Something has changed as don’t see them playing any differently so what’s changed must be how other teams play against them.
Had a begrudging respect for gravel throat last season but this league is all about evolution if you’re one of the lower end sides - which they absolutely are - and I see no evidence to suggest he’s trying to subtly change their style and will probably get found out accordingly.

Wolves are nothing special unless they get a top calibre goalscorer , pointless having all those chances and nobody to score them. Burnley won all their matches last season by 1-0 and have now been found out, too predictable and soon that Burnley DULLARD will be on here telling us they will be in Europe again next season
