Leeds versus MIGHTY CLARETS

[FactualFrank]

Highlights how badly we need some depth to the squad.

We certainly need 3 incoming players next month.

[BurnleyFC]

I’d settle for a point with that starting line up.

[ClaretAL]

I would take a draw now

[FactualFrank]

I think a lot of us would have taken a draw anyway. Get a draw here and then two home games next.

[Guller Bull]

Anyway enough of all this team talk nonsense - get your man buns sorted out!

[Paulclaret]

I'm hoping McNeil and Brady aren't serious, but we're just saving them for the Sheff Utd and Fulham games.

[FactualFrank]

I'm hoping McNeil and Brady aren't serious, but we're just saving them for the Sheff Utd and Fulham games.

By the sounds of things, I think a lot of it down to the next 2 games. Dyche suggested both were possibles for today, but would decide nearer the game.

[MACCA]

Can we shake hands at a 1-0 leeds win now please?

A very poor do when we have no recognised winger able to play, it's been the same regards CB and Midfielders at various points this season..

Still some think Dyche has been supported and Mike has done a good job.
Least we didnt have to sit through it with 35k Leeds fans having a party

[Boss Hogg]

Amazing considering all the stick they've both had on here this season!

Brady has been good the last few games. We need to see it for longer. I don’t get the criticism of McNeil. Think he’s been great for us.

[Buxtonclaret]

Morning All.
Hope it's been a grand Christmas for everyone, despite what's going on.
Here's hoping for 3 points today, sending the several million Leeds fans locked outside home with pouting faces.

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!!

[Top Claret]

Looking at the line up there is little creatively. Lets hope we win our fair share of set pieces as I can't see us creating anything from open play

[Hibsclaret]

I think definitely that some of this is with Tuesday in mind and the nonsense of 2 games in 48 hours....if Brady and or McNeil are just 90 per cent one would normally have played if we didn’t have the other game so close...at least we will have two freshish players for Tuesday...just need Vyds back now to allow us to rotate the strikers

[Guller Bull]

Just had a couple of quid each on Josh or Josh to score.

[Nonayforever]

On the plus side , Benson has a point to prove and will be giving his all to impress. A big game for him.

[The Enclosure]

Bet I can guess Mancinis nickname with the squad...Henry.

[FactualFrank]

On the plus side , Benson has a point to prove and will be giving his all to impress. A big game for him.

Think he can do as a good job as Brady out on the right?

[CrosspoolClarets]

On the plus side we have a very solid side so if we can grab the lead, even with their flair we have a chance of holding it. Falling behind is the big problem so I expect us to start very defensive.

[Hibsclaret]

Bet I can guess Mancinis nickname with the squad...Henry.

Roberto

When he's played for Angers he's had Gomez on the back of his shirt

[Nonayforever]

Think he can do as a good job as Brady out on the right?

I imagine he will be the centre with Westwood out right.

[FactualFrank]

I imagine he will be the centre with Westwood out right.

So it's either Benson, Brownhill or Westwood on the right.

[ClaretTony]

[ClaretTony]

So it's either Benson, Brownhill or Westwood on the right.

Can't imagine it will be anyone but Benson

[Zlatan]

Which one is he..?

[FactualFrank]

Can't imagine it will be anyone but Benson

If it is Benson, do you think he can do as well as Brady and perhaps run at the opposition? Not seen too much of him, is he skillful?

[superdimitri]

At least Ben Mee isn't injured.

[karatekid]

I wonder how many times we will hear the commentators mention war of the roses

[ksrclaret]

Bless him, Gomez Mancini looks more suited to University Challenge than playing for Sean Dyche's Burnley!

Will be a tough one today, but both teams are without key players, so it will be interesting to see which one copes better.

[DCWat]

Just for a bit of balance, have a gander at Leeds’ defence. Keep it tight and we can win today. Have to work our bloody socks off though.

[ClaretTony]

I wonder how many times we will hear the commentators mention war of the roses

Even our club have referred to it as a Roses clash but for me that is always a game between the two counties rather than club teams that reside in them. And given there will be Yorkshiremen supporting us today and Lancastrians supporting them, no way can it be a war of the roses.

[Nonayforever]

I would have thought, given the circumstances, that Bardsley could have stepped in at right back and Lowton moved up to right side.

[icu81b4]

Good day everyone from the Coconut Coast, I really really want us to win this one, but I reckon it’s a tall order.

He looks more like an accountant than a footballer!

[Tribesmen]

Morning all from an overcast Galway for now .
Hard call losing both wingers but what can you do just have to work with what we have , will be good to see how we set up today and deal with Leeds

[ClaretTony]

He looks more like an accountant than a footballer!

Slightly different by the time he arrived in Burnley

[FactualFrank]

Certainly looks more a footballer in the second photo

[criminalclaret]

"One for the purists" will probably be a description of Burnley's performance today. This could be a turgid watch with no real creative threats. Keep Leeds at bay, frustrate the s**t out o them and somehow take a counter from a set piece would be my prediction.

Will take a point right now.

[Bigvince]

Slightly different by the time he arrived in Burnley

Is that a Keegan perm?

[FactualFrank]

Any idea who is playing where in midfield yet?

[icu81b4]

I disagree CT, it certainly is where my Leeds supporting friends are concerned.

Who all live in Lancashire!

[NickBFC]

Very disappointing to lose both McNeil and Brady. There's little creativity in the side but if anyone can defend backs to the wall and nick a point it's us. Going to be a long slog. UTC!

[tim_noone]

Barman.

[Colburn_Claret]

I haven't heard of Vydra being injured, have I missed it, or is Mumbongos inclusion ahead of him, a sign that he is on his way next month

[Gordaleman]

With our lack of wingers today, it means that we will need good games from our FBs to provide the crosses. That means that we will be open to Leed's counter attacks if they are caught too far up field.

Could be a high scoring game?

C'mon you PL Clarets.

[Zlatan]

Vydra injured - back problem

[always looking on the bright side since 2020]

[Quicknick]

COME ON YOU CLARETS !!!!

[superdimitri]

I know they replace their manager regularly but Jack Duckworth? Really?

[Zlatan]

Diving f#cker

[taio]

Damn
