Jay hasn't been great but he's still offered us far more than Barnes has. The assist for the winner against Palace for one.

Come on, Frank, you know better than that by now surely. Try something different? Not a chance in hell.FactualFrank wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 4:41 pmMy thinking is to get safe and then try something different. We know what it takes to keep us up - we just know it.
No denying that the Barnes/ Wood axis was successful in keeping us up 2 years ago. But it was very unsuccessful in the first part of last season. Barnes was carrying an injury and was dire. We massively improved when Rodriguez came in and we started to play a bit.
We'll see what this evening brings in terms of a result. We know what it will bring in terms of the football.

Re: Burnley v Wolves - Matchday Thread
Barnes for Rodriguez could be a good, subtle move. A battering ram for 60 minutes followed by 30 minutes of Jay’s more subtle skills to kill off the game.

Re: Burnley v Wolves - Matchday Thread
There's one poster who created a thread about how good Wood and Barnes were. And bumped it up after most games.
My point being - they know how to play together.

We go long regardless of who we play - just think Barnes deserves some credit for something more than his aerial ability - which isn’t actually what he’s good at

Re: Burnley v Wolves - Matchday Thread
A dull day here in SW Ontario, 2 degrees and overcast, no snow in the forecast. Looks like the whole Province is going into lockdown on Dec 24th, could be a long winter
As far as todays game is concerned, I have a good feeling about the outcome, 2-1 Clarets.

Dyche spoke very highly of Barnes & Vydra last week and said both were getting close to starts (although I'm not sure I'd agree with that bit).simonclaret wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 4:49 pmChris Boden reckons Vydra is injured but not confirmed.
If he has dropped out late in the day it might be we couldn't get one of the young players into the squad because of restrictions and time limits etc.

Wood and Barnes. Neither firing and I fear makes us very one dimensional in style. Not confident here, but COYC!

Re: Burnley v Wolves - Matchday Thread
Not sure there are targets, more just people giving a view on what they see. Be a bit boring if everyone agreed on everything.
Jay Rod hasn’t done anything since he came in. It’s clearly not worked in an attacking sense.
Barnes has been pretty dreadful since he returned from injury but he’s probably not been as sharp as he could be. Maybe the manager thinks he is now.
I’ve called changes like this before as not being right and Dyche ends up proving me wrong time after time so instead I’ll go with it and back the change.
Shame Vydra isn’t available. Come on Burnley.

Surprised Barnes is starting but let's hope he and Wood have a good game.

Nine (9) subs. So, looks like we are covering the risk of Nick Pope getting a bump early in the game.Somethingfishy wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 4:38 pmTwo keepers again? Why? Why not give a place on the bench to a youngster? Thompson got on at City and with Vydra missing it would have been a natural replacement. Dyche does himself no favours at times.

Pathetic from Dyche tonight.
Why spend money on an Academy and put two keepers on the bench? Even if you have no intention of playing the kid, two keepers is a **** take.

Wolves will play 5 across the middle, we will go over them and need someone to hold the ball up and win free-kicks - only Barnes can do that for us tbh, that's why he is in tonight

He will be playing in his 71st consecutive Premier League match for Burnley, surpassing Ben Mee's record for the club.

Vydra will be injured. Dyche has chosen Barnes and Wood because Wolves like to play 5 at the back. I understand why he's done it. I completely disagree with it mind...
