Burnely Defeat news 

Burnley became the first club in top-flight history to lose their opening six home fixtures of a season as Crystal Palace deepened the gloom over Turf Moor in a 2-0 win for the Londoners. Mike Garlick and his team were left reeling after the loss. 

Jeffrey Schlupp put Palace ahead in the 22nd minute and Tyrick Mitchell’s second Palace goal sealed it in stoppage time as Burnley suffered a club-record eighth consecutive top-flight home defeat, a run that dates back to the final two fixtures of the 2021-22 campaign in which they were relegated.

A similar fate will surely await if Vincent Kompany cannot come up with answers quickly as his side again could not find any cutting edge – now without a goal in six of their 11 Premier League games.

It was not for lack of trying – Burnley had 67 per cent possession and 16 shots to Palace’s four – but it was the visiting fans singing loudly at the final whistle as Palace recovered from back-to-back defeats to move into the top half of the table.

 ODOBERT ANNOUNCEMENT: JOININ THE CLARETS

Welcome back to the Mike Garlick Burnley Football Club blog.  Here we bring you the latest news and views from the world of football. We bring the news about the Clarets latest signing. We hope you enjoy the post. 

Burnley Football Club are pleased to confirm the arrival of France U20 international Wilson Odobert from Troyes for an undisclosed fee. The 18-year-old forward has signed a five-year deal at Turf Moor and joins as the ninth new summer signing. The 18-year-old joins from French side Troyes, who were relegated from Ligue 1 last season.

After becoming a Claret, Odobert said: “The project here excited me, I really liked it. The manager, the team, the town. I really love it and it’s a really good project for me.

Wilson Odobert (born 28 November 2004) is a French professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Burnley fc. Commenting on the move, the new Burnley Football Club player said: “I want to play as much as possible at Burnley. Do as well as I can with the team, stay in the team and play the best I possibly can for the Club.”

Born in Meaux, Odobert joined Paris Saint Germain’s academy in 2017 and progressed through the academy ranks before rejecting a professional deal with the Club last year and opting to join Troyes to play first team football.

The winger made 32 appearances in Ligue 1 for Troyes last season and scored four goals as the teenager impressed during his first campaign South East of Paris. Odobert has represented France from U16 to U20 level, being capped three times for the latter and scoring once.

The teenager added: "I like to play attacking football, to dribble with the ball and use my pace. I am ready for the Premier League now; it's going to be amazing."

 Burnley And Wolves Prepared To Meet Club’s Asking Price For Player amid Kompany win

Burnley vs Cardiff City

Today Burnley will play Cardiff City, and we have a sneaking suspicion, they will win! Welcome back to the Mike Garlick Burnley Football Club blog. Welcome back to the Mike Garlick football club blog, where we will bring you all the latest news from the Clarets. Manager Vincent Kompany hopes top scorer Nathan Tella will be able to play some part in the final game.

A lot of players have recently been injured, but the team have reinforcements to cover them. Jordan Beyer and Hjalmar Ekdal have been out of contention recently because of injury. Anass Zaroury and Johann Berg Gudmundsson both missed the win at Ashton Gate but should return on Monday.

Ashley Barnes is set to leave Turf Moor at the end of the title-winning season. In nine years at Burnley, he has scored 53 goals in 292 appearances. Former Bournemouth goalkeeper Ryan Allsop was substituted during last month’s draw against Stoke City with an abductor injury. Jak Alnwick has deputised.

Republic of Ireland striker Callum Robinson has been absent since February with a hamstring injury. Winger Callum O’Dowda was substituted with concussion during the crucial win at Rotherham United. He is likely to miss the Burnley game.

Striker Kion Etete was withdrawn after 15 minutes of the Rotherham game and is a doubt for Monday’s final game. Cardiff City’s manager Sabri Lamouchi has confirmed on-loan defender Cedric Kipre will miss the game after he underwent an operation last week. Ebou Adams and Jamilu Collins are making good progress from long-term injuries but may not be risked.

Before they can receive the trophy and officially be crowned as champions of the Sky Bet Championship, Burnley first host Cardiff City at Turf Moor on Monday afternoon in their 54th and final game at 3pm TODAY.

The Clarets head into the last day of a spectacular season knowing that the party can start post-game, but before it does, there’s a job to be done with a century of points still within reach following last weekend’s win at Bristol City.

Close to 3000 travelling fans were rewarded with a 2-1 victory in the South West against the Robins thanks to goals from Manuel Benson & Jay Rodriguez, the 94th & 95th of the campaign respectively for Burnley.

Additionally, if Vincent Kompany, who just had his contract extended, and his side can mark the final day with another three points against the Bluebirds on home soil, it’d take their tally to 101, the first centurions in the second tier since Leicester City in 2013/14.

A Burnley outfit eyeing a landmark achievement are set to act as hosts, in a Championship final day meeting with Cardiff City on Monday, May 8th. Burnley FC, have long proven themselves the standout side in England’s 2nd tier, clinching promotion before cruising to the title courtesy of just three defeats in 45 outings.

Heading into the season’s final round of fixtures, Vincent Kompany’s troops still have one final goal to play for. This comes in the form of the 100-point mark for the Clarets. Currently, the Clarets sit on 98 points, after recovering from a rare three-game winless streak courtesy of back-to-back downings of Blackburn Rovers and Bristol City over the course of the last couple of weeks.

A win over Cardiff this evening, in turn, would see the Clarets put a cherry on top of what has proven a wonderful campaign, in surging clear of the century mark for points secured. Surely, more greatness is on the horizon for Mike Garlick and his team. Follow all the latest football news on our blog and make sure you leave your comment below and subscribe.

Burnley's Premier League return

Welcome back to the Mike Garlick Burnley FC news page. With a free-flowing, attacking style, savvy recruitment and a rapid rebuild job, here's how Vincent Kompany's Burnley dominated the Championship; Clarets clinched promotion back to the Premier League with 2-1 victory at Middlesbrough on Good Friday. 

"My blood is boiling just hearing the word complacent. It's something I find very difficult as a human being to even accept." Those were the words of Vincent Kompany not too long after Burnley hit the top of the Championship table. And they have not lost a game since. A 2-1 victory over Middlesbrough on Good Friday was enough to see them complete their return to the top flight with seven games to spare, in a season that saw them hit the top of the league in October and not let up since. 

The Man City ex-player has steered Burnley back into the Premier League at the first time of asking and in doing so turned himself into one of the most exciting new young managers in the English game.

With Kompany at the helm next season, Burnley could well be a very different prospect to what they were before in the Premier League. The Clarets, managed by former Man City captain Vincent Kompany, moved 19 points clear of third-placed Luton and, in doing so, ensured automatic promotion.

All eyes were on Kompany's side after Luton, who are fourth in the league table, were unable to win at Millwall and were mathematically ruled out of a top two finish. Kompany's side have been frontrunners for the majority of the season and were expected to be one of the teams to finish in the top two at the end of the year.

The entire team and management staff are pleased with their progress. This evening Burnley will play Rotherham, and we hope they win! The Clarets extended their unbeaten run in the league to 21 matches on Saturday as they took a point from a goalless draw at Reading. 

Sat top, Vincent Kompany’s side are now 12 points clear of Sheffield United in 2nd with both teams having five games left to play. Find out more about Vincent Kompany, Mike Garlick Burnley and the team on online. Make sure you follow and subscribe to our blog for more updates.
