Ah! wondered when the match thread was going to appear,hello Madge

,be a tough test today but it's a funny old game as the saying goes,the lack of expectation might favour us,as the pressure will be off to some extent.

Great Hendrick no 10 ,20th time lucky,nice to see a bench of defenders

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:03 pm**

5 defenders on bench!

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:06 pm**

I hope we play Hendrick as an actual 5th in midfield and not a number 10 behind Wood. That's worked brilliantly for us in the past.

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:06 pm**

Our midfielders are on the pitch and Vydra is our only other fit striker, so guess the only position left to fill the bench is defence.

Is Brady injured?

Still no Vydra,we might as well cash in on him if Leeds are still interested,good to see Koiki make the bench.

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:08 pm**

Are our midfielders managing a 63% completed pass rate?

I'll go for around that. Anything over 70% is rare.

Afternoon all from what is a shocker of a wet day here in Galway as we are due to have 24 hours of rain , hey only two to go until it stops .
So going for one up front . Need to start on the front foot first goal all so important as always .

if dyche would of trusted kioki to play last week,we may have seen if the lad was up to a start, hopefully he is must have something about him just needs a chance ala Dwight

For me, this shows Sean's greatest weakness. Other managers have teams thrown together by recruitment teams and Football Directors and still manage to get them playing well together. This is why he won't sign anyone interesting.

Sean just sticks with what he knows and who he can trust, unable to take a risk. I suspect we will get hammered today and be one point about the bottom 3.

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:14 pm**

If both Brady and jbg are injured after their brief cameo's, the writing may be on the wall for these two,sad.

As Villa don't lose against Man City until tomorrow and Bournemouth play Watford, the worse case scenario is we'll be three points above the relation zone.

The same as we were six matches ago.

4th choice really I imagine.
If Taylor gets injured I would think Pieters and Gibson would be ahead of him, and maybe even Mee with Long or Gibson going in at CB. Really does highlight the lack of depth in the squad...

State of that team lol. I’m so convinced of a defeat today that it might just end up being one of those where we pull a magical result out of the hat.

We are more likely to get hammered if we just sit back.we might as well have a go,in essence we've nothing to lose,so why not throw the dice,if we're not going to give Vydra any gametime,when he's 1 of only 2 fit strikers ,then for heaven's sake let the lad go somewhere where he'll get regular football,even if that means he drops down to the Championship,is he good enough for the PL,perhaps not but when he's only getting a matter of a few 10-minute cameo's a season it's hard to judge.

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:24 pm**

I thought kioki has been pushed forward on the wing and is why he is in the goals, doesn't play lb now

Brady's ooc at the end of this season,we've got a 1 year extension option,but personally i'd cut our losses and let him leave,we can't afford to keep carrying passengers,JBG is contracted till 2021 so it might be harder to shift him on,he's a talent,but if he's in the treatment room more than the pitch he's no use to us,we need to be more ruthless and rid ourselves of the deadwood,yes 2 years ago they made a contribution,but we have to deal with the here and now.

Just noticed Lawton in and Beardsley benched? Do I not like that! Surely wouldn't be on bench if not fit

Have to say it was what i was thinking also

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:36 pm**

Bardsley has been ill. Could be a very very bad day

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:43 pm**

Is any one feeling confident today?

Just had a fiver on us which I feel confident will return me £55.

I am however drinking lots of red wine!

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:46 pm**

This thread should be sponsored by the Samaritans Guller Bull, i reckon we need Custard on here to perk things up.

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:50 pm**

Custard curdled years ago. All that's left is a soggy base!

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:51 pm**

Clarets not scored in 1st half of last 9 league games

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:52 pm**

jesus, I honestly don't think that team would do much damage in the Championship

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:52 pm**

It all went wrong when he started to pretend he was in the army,took his eye off the messageboard commentator role.

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:56 pm**

Build up on NSBSN says we are in big relegation trouble. 6 losses in last 8 and 4 tough games starting today make our position much worse than the table looks. Hope they are wrong but sadly I have to agree. We desperately need some new blood and cannot wait until much longer. Having said that players like Gibson and Vydra cannot get a game

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:57 pm**

His Camouflage look failed to disguise his natural ugliness.

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:58 pm**

Aye he had a face like a welder's bench alright.

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:59 pm**

Speaking of which how are you by the way?

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:59 pm**

Afternoon all from the Coconut coast, Cork trips up walking down the stairs to the tunnel!!! I hope he's more nimble on his feet on the pitch.

Come on you Clarets

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 3:01 pm**

Afternoon all, dismal wet day up here, hoping for a good performance to stop the slide but the head says it's going to be a tough afternoon,UTC

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 3:02 pm**

Hendrick great chance hits it over

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 3:02 pm**

good early effort from Jeff

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 3:02 pm**

Come on Burnley listening in from Chichester

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 3:11 pm**

Been all in our half for these opening 10mins

Going to be have to show patience & discipline today

Posted: **Sat Jan 11, 2020 3:11 pm**

Wood gets gash over eye.

Edit: sorry. Bloody nose.
