    Preston North End have released a statement condemning racist abuse directed at left-back Thierry Small following the club's 1-1 draw with Queens Park Rangers on Monday.

    North End stated that they had discovered "deplorable comments of a racist nature" aimed at Small on a club Instagram post.

    Small, 21, scored an own goal in the 82nd minute of the match and the abuse has been reported to Lancashire Police.

    "The club continues to reiterate its stance against racism and condemns any behaviour of this nature," the statement said.

    "There is no place for such abhorrent and frankly disgusting and discriminatory language in football nor society

    "If and when the individual responsible is identified, they will be banned from Deepdale for life."

    Kieran Trippier has announced his intention to leave Newcastle at the end of the season. While I don't expect this will happen - it's expected he'll probably end up in Saudi Arabia from what I've read - it did get me wondering whether I would consider having him back at Burnley.

    Trippier was part of that early squad of Sean Dyche players, along with Danny Ings. Each stayed with the club for a really good spell before going on to much bigger careers.

    And I miss that. It wasn't that long ago that squads were built and stayed together over promotions and relegations. Solid relationships were built with fans and players earned their chants from the terraces. We felt together.

    For the longest time now, Burnley have been selling entire squads season after season and fans feel a massive disconnect with the team on the pitch.

    When Trippier and Ings left, they left as local boys. One of us. Ings established a disability trust in his name which continued for long after he left.

    Do we see this any more? We definitely don't at Burnley, and I wonder if this is the case across the football world or is it just an East Lancashire problem?

    I'm at that stage of the season now when I'm done with the misery and trying to shift my mindset to look forward to a new start in the Championship. And for once this feels OK, because the benefit of such a high turnover of players is that I'm probably not going to miss any of them when they're gone.

    On to the next chapter. And perhaps we wouldn't go too far amiss to welcome back some old familiar faces.
