00:00Take it away, Matt, what are we likely to see at Turf Moor over the next month, given that,
00:03you know, having heard what we have just from Danny and Graham, can Burnley force their way
00:09back into the top two, maybe with an addition or potentially with some outgoings?
00:14I think so, yeah, it's been interesting. Scott Parker has been quite coy whenever we've asked
00:18about his January plans, which, as we all do, we all do quite a lot at this time of the year.
00:22He sort of said, you know, we'll see, you know, there's a possibility.
00:26There will definitely be some departures. There's two or three players
00:30that have barely played, so they'll definitely leave on loan. But in terms of incomings,
00:33I think he admitted himself that Burnley are likely to be a bit more reactionary perhaps,
00:38but they definitely do need to do a bit of business. It's no secret
00:41that defensively they're excellent, they don't need to do anything there, but going either way,
00:45they've only scored 30 goals in 24 games, which compared to, you know, the other sides that we're
00:50talking about here, it's pretty low. And nine of those came in the first two games when they had
00:55a lot of the players from the Premier League. They're since gone. They ended the summer window
01:01quite in a chaotic fashion, losing a lot of those best players.
