Bit of bad grammar there! Forgiveable, I hope!

Have to set off early, so Madge has to do an early shift as well as gee us up for kick-off. Here she is in her original performance in HolyCustard days.

Looking forward to a great performance and 3 points.

Up the Clarets





Bit odd as pic not showing on my phone. Hope she is there in virtual life!]

Madge looks good as always
I’ll be up at 7:00 am to watch the game
I’m going with 2-0 win Mee to get both
That will stop the bad talk on mee

Retro Madge is always the best! Fancy Matej to flick one in like Madge is flicking her oooer never mind missus.

Dour game. 1-0 to us

You retired yet ?

Burnley defender James Tarkowski could miss out with a groin strain.

Steven Defour is also a doubt due to a personal issue, while winger Robbie Brady is not yet fit to return.

Big crowd today,noisy bast@rds from over the hill,come on guys lets get behind our team today and roar them on to three points.

No complacency cos this lot are winless. They’ll get one soon but not today if we turn up.
COYC NNN.

RE:post 7. That gives us the team that got 3 points last week.

No complacency please. That’s our nemesis!

Big game today, a win would really kick start our season I feel despite the dodgy performance at Cardiff. Would put us well clear of the strugglers which is only a good thing with City and Chelsea coming up.

Need a decent crowd and atmosphere getting behind the team.

A follow up from our last home performance against Bournemouth would be cracking!

And same scoreline

Both kids in bed - the boy after his first swimming lesson and the 2-year old in her FULL Burnley strip but in a foul mood (more like her mother every day!)

I`d LOVE a display to rid my brain of the awfulness of that performance last week (result aside it was painful to watch!). Ummmmmm......2-1 Burnley with Gudmundsson (33), the Yorkies getting a fluke in the 69th minute ONLY for the one and only Ashley Barnes to bag the winner in the 84th minute - WITH A HEADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COME ON BURNLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would like to see a much better performance today though obviously the win is what's most important. Huddersfield have had a poor start but they'll cause us problems if we play as we did last week. Let's get at them! UTC

Barnes replaces Vydra in the starting line up.

Vydra dropped.

I'm really not sure about that one.

Ridiculous decision.

I can only see it because of how SD expects Huddersfield to play - men behind the ball dropping deep. So the physicality of Barnes could be a genius move. Vydra would the better choice in most other games, when teams open up more.

£1m worth of strikers on the pitch. £26.5m worth of strikers on the bench.

BurnleyFC wrote:Ridiculous decision.

unless we play well and take the game comfortably - I am sure this is about causing them issues given the number of injuries their defence has

This was exactly the sort of game we signed Vydra for, when teams play deep and we need some subtlety/ pace to open them up.

Urgh

I always thought the Dyche mantra was don't change a winning side. Especially one that won 4-0 last time we played at home

I can see why Dyche has changed things. If they sit deep, coming for a point, then Vydra isn't going to have a lot of joy. Up to Barnes and Vokes to put in a decent shift and give their back line something to think about. It ain't going to be pretty...

SGr wrote:£1m worth of strikers on the pitch. £26.5m worth of strikers on the bench.

Because Vokes would sell for the same price we got him in 2012

Shall we wait until the game starts before slagging Dyche's decision making off?

No defour in squad have i missed something??

Pace is more important when teams attack us. When teams sit deep, it can often be more about strength, especially if we lump balls into their box.

Personal issues.

Go Super Burnley

Super Ash will score and we will WIN

Come on

Good afternoon all from a sunny / cloudy day here in Galway .
Now for the first time since spring i have had to turn the heating on this morning , yep a October feel to the the day only to be brighten up by a classic display from the Clarets to make it all feel like summer once again .
Going to be a close game but we will win by one goal .

Humm as for the weather it's raining now , that's the West of Ireland for you

Presumably tactical decision to play Vokes and Barnes. Anyhow im off to the game in a minute so ill leave it to those who like to moan.

Barnes and Vokes makes a lot of sense by the way.

CombatClaret wrote:Shall we wait until the game starts before slagging Dyche's decision making off?

No let's get all our slagging in early so we can say "told you so" later.



But seriously, you're completely right. You might think Dyche had earned the benefit of the doubt by now but apparently not.

And we don't even know the reasons behind it.

I really do hope this is a good game to watch, as the line up has long ball written all over it.

COYC UTC Another 3 points please.

Arrived ok, after lots of rain in the south. Glad to see Madge turned up ok. Weird that.

Barnes and Vokes will soften them up for a bit of subtlety if needed. Wood lucky to be on the bench at the moment. Hope he hits form soon.

Up the Clarets.

Could be a masterstroke this. Ashley will be chomping at the bit after not getting on last week after his brace against Bournemouth. Soften them up for Vydra on the hour

Afternoon from a sunny but nippy day here, autumn has arrived along with the first Whooper swans into Lough Foyle from Iceland.As for today NickBFC got it right, a win today would keep us ahead of the rabble below, 2-0 to the mighty Clarets

Ah yes a team that will sit in and you play to lumps up top. Excellent

Looking at the Huddersfield team and bench are there any British amongst them ?!

I was not actually criticising there. Simply observing.

Swans from Iceland , it take it they will winter out in Derry ?
Good result last night in Limerick who could about to close up shop

No Defour again. Time to get him off the wage bill for someone who actually plays.Personal reasons ?

I just want a win today, any win; 10 points before the break from where we were at the start of this period should be classed as a success with less pressure going into a tough post international break period.

we will win

We don't know what those reasons are, and nor do we really have a right to. Interesting that you haven't said the same of Brady despite his numerous set-backs.
