Cheers. I was struggling to find anyone to sign with my massive 200k transfer budget but Carew was perfect on a free transfer.

Carew was a player I almost signed for my Huddersfield Town squad; can't honestly tell you why I didn't. I am sure he will help you do well. I hope you can build on your very positive preseason. Keep it up.

It was a very quite summer of transfers for Burnley, with John Carew the only signing on a free transfer. I would have loved to have signed more players but with next to no transfer budget that was impossible. It was even difficult to find anyone of any real quality in the loan market as the monthly fee's being asked where considerably too much.

On the out going side of things there is also nothing to report, with a few of the clubs younger players going out on loan across the country.

That Nottingham Forrest match would've been so hard to take! Let's hope 2013 is your year and produce a Reading-esque thing!

Ouch that is quite a tough set of results to take. I am sure you will change the club's fortunes though. Good luck.

Fingers crossed but for some reason I can't see it.

Hopefully..really annoying me as I've already done a save with Burnley before and I stormed the league but I'm finding this save difficult.

BURNLEY TRIO INJURED

http://www.clitheroeadvertiser.co.uk/webimage/1.5146626.1353338407!image/4116430400.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_595/4116430400.jpg

Burnley have suffered a triple injury blow as 3 out of their 4 first choice defenders picked up serious injuries in the 3-0 defeat to Charlton Athletic.

The Clarets captain Jason Shackell was the first to go when he stumbled awkwardly after a routine clearance. What looked like a simple fall actually caused the defender to break his wrist and it’s thought he will be out for at least 7 weeks.

It got even worse for Burnley not long after when Ben Mee pulled up when darting up the leftwing. The stretcher was brought on and Mee will be out for 3 months with a torn hamstring.

In the second half things went from bad to worse for Burnley when Charlton forward Nile Ranger stamped dangerously on Kieran Tripper. Although nothing was broke the young full back will be out for 2 weeks with a badly bruised foot.

Speaking after the game Burnley boss Graham Alexander couldn’t believe his luck:

“I’m absolutely gutted. To have three of our starting back four pick up long-term injuries in the same game is devastating. Our squad is already paper-thin but it’s now up to the young lads who have been sat on the bench all season to show they are worthy of playing for the club.”

When asked if he would have to strengthen in the January transfer window Alexander seemed optimistic:

“I will do my very best to bring in a few new fresh faces. We have next to no money available for transfers so I will see who is available in the loan market – though I will not be making any desperate signings just because of our mini injury crisis.”
