MIGHTY CLARETS versus SheffU

Post by IanMcL » Sun Jul 05, 2020 10:49 am

The proverbial 6 pointer.
If you added up all those extra 3 points, we would definitely be in Europe!

A win will add further momentum to our quest for Euro football, once again. I do believe the players have their eye on that and are to be commended.

Madge is equally looking forward to jaunting around Europe and is ready to lead us into battle today.

Let's do this!

Up the Clarets.

Is it okay to have a pre-match beer, or one during? Missus frowns upon drinking before 3pm so may just get away with it as it's the Clarets. These early starts are no good for my game drinking ritual though. Only had a Bacon Croissant for breakfast ten minutes ago.

It looks like Josh Benson is on the bench but i thought he was ineligible due to playing for Grimbsy this season?

2 changes for us blimey, what's wrong with Mee, or is he just being rested, good to see Jay return, he's been our star player this year.

Sheff U unchanged from Thursday, perhaps a surprise, but they've also got injury issues, and a small squad to juggle.

I knew there was a doubt with him - good to see JBG, Brady & Wood on the bench and being July we can include Benson.

Who gets the armband with Mee out, Tarks or Westwood i suppose. Kev Long has never let us down when called upon, and that's why he's here for situations like this, reliable deputy if either 1st choice centre back is absent.

I’m glad it’s an injury for Ben... When I heard just now I feared it might be something to do with his baby daughter who had been born prematurely . Very pleased if it’s just a routine injury!

This was always going to be a tight game and Mee being missing is a huge blow. Longy never let's us down but he's no Ben Mee.

Not as confident as I was earlier in the week and even then, I thought it would be a draw.

Hope we spot Ben in the stands. That would make me feel better.

Stop worrying. You can turn it the other way and say it's a positive that Brownhill is starting in central midfield.

If you're going on a break/holiday, then it's a pint at the airport regardless of time. 1am? Pint. 6am? Breakfast and pint.
