Dyche full of praise for Austin
10:13am Wednesday 7th November 2012 in Sport
BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche paid tribute to Charlie Austin, after the striker beat Andy Loch-head’s long-standing record to become the quickest Claret to 20 goals.
Austin’s 83rd minute winner against Leeds United – a header from Kieran Trippier’s right wing cross – took his tally to 20 goals from only 17 games.
His remarkable run includes at least one goal in each of the last six home games – surpassing John Francis’ run of five from 1991.
And new manager Dyche believes there could be no end to his scoring feats this season.
“There are no boundaries for people. I do’'t give the team boundaries,” he said.
“It’s a marvellous return. Why can’t he go on and get more?
“I was with Clive Allen at a golf day recently, and he got over 40.
“The targets are open-ended. I’m a big believer in what we can do.”
And Dyche was delighted to record back-to-back wins after taking charge of the team last week.
“We created some good chances. We had good pockets of play and arguably enough to nick one,” he said.
“But Leeds are a good side and there was 20 minutes in the second half where they played some clever football to press us back.
“It’s very difficult in Championship football to dominate the whole match, so I was delighted with the way we played for 20 minutes.
“The goal was absolutely top drawer, and the build-up to the goal was top drawer.”
Austin’s next target is to break the club record of most goals scored from the start of a season to the end of a calendar year.
That particular record was set by Jimmy Robson in 1960-61 when he reached 26, rounding it off in style with two goals on New Year’s Eve in a 5-3 win against Newcastle at Turf Moor.
And you wouldn’t bet against Austin at the moment.

If a Jan panic buy bid of £15m came in from a Premiership team offering him £30k+ wages per week, he is going!!! whether we like it or not.

Any January bid for Austin would have to be crazy money . For 10 mill why sell. His value will be far more in 1 or 2 seasons.

Team is good enough to help Charlie further his goals scored tally. Three massive positives; Charlie's striking prowess, the teams ability to create goal chances, our defensive play is very much improved and the team as a whole take credit for that.
Its as though we have our own Charlie with a golden ticket to the prem, like in that film...Charlie and the Claret factory...where a river of Claret ran through the place and the lad chewed one of those sweets..an everlasting goal scorer!

I remember watching Andy Lochhead play on the Turf in the early 60s. He looked a lot bigger than his 6ft because of his intimidating presence on the pitch. He was a real Jekyll and Hyde character, in that provided his marker behaved himself, all would be well. However, woe-betide the evil doer !
I don't recall seeing A.L. react instinctively to provocation, (unlike current players). He was a master of calculated, malevolent retribution. If liberties were taken or attempted, it could be an hour later, when a seemingly innocent challenge for a 50:50 ball would result in Andy's adversary writhing in pain on the ground, the victim of a deft and almost unseen tap to the goolies with a size-9.
It was always a source of merriment to spot when Andy had 'marked somebody's card.' We'd be fired with anticipation, waiting to witness the inevitable. He never let us down. Not thuggish, just clinical.
Abiding memories!

It would appear that some of my comments, when posted on the rovers' match reports, are upsetting some 'fans'. I use the term 'fans', loosely because unfortunately I cannot use expletives! However I shall continue to comment in my normal entertaining way, as nothing I HAVE written has been deemed as racist, sexist, or likely to break the law by means of posting comments which are offensive (it is a game of football nothing more & is not life changing) other than telling them the truth which is - they are a terrible team & club (truth hurts). Rovers fans need to get a grip on reality and remember there are more important things in life, like Family. It would also appear that some rovers 'fans' continue to post comments in reference to Burnley fans, sleeping with their Mother or Sister, being inbreds & or being illiterate, which the LET seem to think is okay (double standards). Any Clarets fans who agree with my comments can happily post their comments as & when they please (LET permitting of course) on the rovers blog, when they lose, which hopefully should be every week (well one can dream can't they?).
like clive dunne (RIP) would've said as corporal jones-
THEY DONT LIKE IT UP 'EM!!!!!

This money-splashing precedent has now resulted in the spiralling wages and massive gulf between the rich and poor in football.
Glad you are finally reaping the seeds that you sowed

Enjoy Charlie whilst we can and hope that the Board give him a contract that allows him to stay until best deal for both parties evolves, if he stays in Jan we will be playoff contenders no problem...
