JBG. Is he ever going to be fit and have a prolonged spell in the team? Looks like we need to get a good right wonger in as well as a right full back.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Thu Mar 05, 2020 1:53 pm

Excellent news but we don't need to rush him back, our other three strikers are doing a great job.

The way Vydra has played and the number of points we've got means there really is no rush to get him back in but it will be good to have all four strikers back soon.

Weird. I'm sure some of our resident medical experts said that he would be out for the entirety of the season.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Thu Mar 05, 2020 1:56 pm

If JBG were fully fit, he would be one of the first names on the team sheet for me. I really hope he gets sorted out properly, even if it means waiting til next season.

The Lowton injury is a strange one. He wasn't visibly injured during a match and there are rumours flying about regarding his mystery injury coinciding with another Burnley player 'leaving' the club. What exactly is Lowton's injury?

Only on grass so another 2 months

Are Iceland in the Euro s? Personally would send Gudmundsson on his hols now then he would be ready for next season. With his international commitments in recent years a complete long break could do him the world of good long term. A few others not necessarily at Burnley could fall into the same category...a centre forward who won't be lining up on Saturday against us is the first to spring to mind

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Thu Mar 05, 2020 3:02 pm

Is this the 2nd or 3rd season in a row JBG has missed most of?

When fit he is invaluable but as it stands, I barely think of him as a Burnley player, more a part-time loanee.

Barny only on grass? He should be on raw meat by now.

Lowton was possibly injured by another Burnley player in training....

As I've said, we haven't had much detail on Lowton's injury and how it occurred.

That must be those 'few' that claim to have inside knowledge of all that is ongoing at the club. How do we join that group?

I thought Lowton was injured when he clashed knees with Saka at home to Arsenal?

He was, but something else happened after that. Not sure what.

Don't allow Lowton's injury to get in the way of a good story!

So Lowton clashes knees with Saka fairly early on v Arsenal...but still completes another 60-70 mins against top class opposition and helps keeps a clean sheet on the process. Then he's out injured for the next 3-4 weeks because of this 'nasty' clash of knees. I'm not having that!

I'm just after some clarification as to what the actual issue is. Maybe how it was caused and what the delay is in him getting back. Not that we're desperate but Burnley can sometimes be extremely vague with things like this - usually when the issue is much bigger than first thought.

29 PL appearances last season and 35 the season before, so neither.

Great news. Fortunately, our other strikers have seen us through the last two months enabling Barnsey time to recover.

warksclaret · Post by **warksclaret** » Thu Mar 05, 2020 5:15 pm

Great news that we could soon be back with all four strikers. Means we can have a bench that can change a game and hopefully secure us more points

I'm pretty sure Lowton injured himself when he fouled Saka the Arsenal left-wing back in the first ten minutes of that game. He managed to run it off and put in an excellent performance . I suspect you didn't notice it because he didn't roll around banging the turf in pain and anguish like a southern softie might have.

Yes, certainly no histrionics by any of our players!

However, I'm not sure how he managed to run it off and then miss the next 4 weeks through that injury....

Are we counting sub/5 minute cameos there or proper starts? (Genuine question tbh because he has no bigger fan here than me, but I've also very sadly slipped into the camp which now believes he'll never get it back and play regularly and we need to replace him in the summer)

We can probably get one on loan.

Glad for Barnes, he can play up front however Dychecwants him to, I think he is a lot more technical than he is given credit for.

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Thu Mar 05, 2020 6:46 pm

Would never say I was glad one of our own players got injured, but in retrospect it worked out well. Jay needed that run of games to get sharp and find spaces in our attacking shape. He's been great, but doubtful he'd have gotten that many minutes with a fit Barnes even though at the time he was bang out of form. Knock on effect was we needed Vydra too, and I'm not sure he gets on at Southampton with a fit Barnes either.

I think Dyche is bloomin marvelous by the by, not a dig it's just the way he operates. People don't necessarily get dropped when their form does.

Didn’t Son do just that a few weeks ago when he fractured his arm?

Similarly many say JBG hasn't missed many games or has had many niggles and injuries.

AlargeClaret · Post by **AlargeClaret** » Thu Mar 05, 2020 7:09 pm

Virtually forget JBG played for us doubt we’ll ever get a run out of him. Good to see Barnes getting fit

Tbf back on the grass in Dyche speak could still mean he's 5 or 6 weeks away from playing.

Drinky? Can he play on the wing? Or at full back? Our loans have been a real smash hit.

10 of them 29 were as a sub.

Must have been why I thought he missed most of last year too.

19 starts then, which is exactly half of the PL games. Add the substitute appearances and he appeared in more games than he didn't so didn't miss most of the season at all.
