Injuries

[Vegas Claret]

Don't want to be missing these two at Bournemouth that's for sure

[jrgbfc]

No mention of Taylor?

not that I can see on twitter, mention JBG getting an U23 game which is good

Sure CT would have watched the press conference and will do an article

[Andreshotboots]

Think I've seen somewhere Taylor has trained all week and will be in the squad..

[jrgbfc]

Just looked on the official site and it seems like Taylor and Kevin Long are back in contention. Although Taylor might have to wait for Pieters to have another shocker before he gets his place back.

[Vegas Claret]

good news is that Nathan Ake (no doubt Bournemouth's best defender) is out of the game

[TVC15]

[Tall Paul]

SD: “Johann got through 60 minutes in a reserve game, we have an U23 game Saturday, hopefully he’ll get 90. Woody has a knock on his Achilles, we’ll see how he is, Westy has a tight groin, Charlie Taylor, Kevin Long trained all week, Gibbo had a niggly groin, doubt he’ll make it”

Ben who????

[JohnDearyMe]

Taylor should walk back into the starting 11 but will Dyche change a defence that has just kept a clean sheet? Will be surprised if he does

Probably back in after Saturday. He should be straight in as he is a better player and we are a better side with Taylor in it.

Is it just me but I hate it when Managers refer to their players as:
Gibbo
Corky
Woody
Westy
etc
Can you imagine Ferguson, Clough, Paisley etc coming out with that??

Probably is just me.

[Bosscat]

Ferguson, Clough.

Do you mean the ones everyon refers to as "Fergy, Cloughy etc etc etc

Throwing a sickie in to miss the Christmas schedule, you can’t blame them

[Aclaret]

Ben who????

Gibson is a doubt every week.

Yes Spocky

Ok Kirky

[JohnMac]

Don't think SD limits himself to those silly names, just ask Bardo

It's not just you, I feel exactly the same. Dyche has been a great manager for us but I still prefer the boss not to be ' one of the lads'. I would rather, he used first names, if possible.It's an age thing with me,I think.

Talk about missing my point!
I am damm sure even Gary Neville never called his Manager "Fergie" either to his face or when talking about him and wouldn't do even now.
It doesn't matter what the rest of the world might call him.

There should be a definate gap between players and managers and this nickname thing is wrong (in my entirely irrelevant opinion).
Having said that - I don't think for one minute there is any "blurring of the lines" between our Manager and his staff.

[Jakubs Tash]

Listening to SD's interview, I would expect both Westwood and Wood to play on Saturday.

Oh sorry ... you were making a point ... I apologise for trying to have a joke with you ... I will remember next time that you have had a sense of humour bypass

Just take your fleet of expensive cars up to Barley and park them outside his house and see if he gets your point

[No Ney Never]

"Westwood has a tight groin"
There's a few women in Burnley could do with a bit of what he's on!

I'm with you on that. Chris Waddle was the worst practician of this annoying trait. I'll let Mr Dyche get away with Drinky though. Couldn't be more appropriate!

[Tricky Trevor]

Pleased Long is fit again with Tarks, apologies that’s James, a booking from a ban.
