Burnley v Manchester United - Match Thread
Re: Burnley v Manchester United - Match Thread
If you think that Wood is still worthy of a starting spot after his last couple of performances, then words fail me. He’s turned in his fair share of shockers this season.
He wouldn’t get in my lad’s under 9s side on current form and has looked anything but a Premier League footballer.
*keeping everything crossed that he has a blinder tonight, though*

More than the starting 2 who were league 2 at best.

Re: Burnley v Manchester United - Match Thread
I don't think that's quite the point. Our defence can't be expected to make up for our forwards inability to find the net every game.Hibsclaret wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 7:33 pmNot sure you need a totally different option when you have a pi55 poor refs performance 1 - 0 loss and a stuffing by City in the last 9 matches...otherwise unbeaten
Anyway, let's hope it's different tonight and they score.

Re: Burnley v Manchester United - Match Thread
I am a big fan of both Wood and Barnes and clearly they are both very well suited to our playing style, much more than Vydra, but they are both going through an awful spell right now. To keep one of them in the lineup makes sense to me, but with both of them having such a dry spell I just feel it makes sense to drop one of them at least and give Vydra a chance. Even though Wood and Barnes were getting into good positions on Saturday, I just felt so much more confident we would score when Vydra was on the pitch.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 7:24 pmWood & Barnes are having a lean spell but I really do not get this obsession with Vydra.
Dyche clearly knows best though, and I’m sure Wood and Barnes will be back into the swing of things soon!

Indeed, but maybe best not to judge them (all of them) on one game against a League One side.

I wrote the following on the MK match thread -
"I completely fail to understand why anyone is complaining about pictures of Madge. She is fun. She has been the mascot of the matchday thread for years, ever since HolyCustard found her in a shoe box in his cupboard under the stairs.
Could someone explain what there is to complain about?"
So far no-one has enlightened me. It seems very narrow minded to complain about a young, French singer/dancer (Alizee) who has delighted match day viewers for years.
I'll ask again - could someone explain, please?
Completely agree, Spades.
Madge has been part of the match day thread for years.
All very strange.

Evening all from a very damp and wet Galway , hey it's been raining for two days and i am not joking .

I also agree about Madge, as it’s light hearted fun for most of us. But CT has had enough to deal with this past 12 months and his explanation is here, and we need to respect that.Buxtonclaret wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 7:37 pmCompletely agree, Spades.

Why not just ban the regular miscreants permanently Tony..we all know who they are.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 6:53 pmGetting lots of complaints about the match day threads and with good reason. One match recently I had to remove so many posts that contained horrendously bad language, mainly from one poster, last weekend it was blatant racism. Then there are the juvenile thread titles. Last Saturday we had one poster using the thread to criticise another poster for daring to start the thread, claiming his to be official. Absolutely ridiculous.
Quite simply, these threads are causing a lot of problems and if it continues then the only answer will be to close the board down during games.

Not exactly unusual weather on the west coast of Ireland. I was on holiday on the Dingle peninsular several years ago and I think it rained none stop for a week.
Bars were good though.

Re: Burnley v Manchester United - Match Thread
Wood and Barnes are due, and they both know they owe us one. I think if Jay was fully fit, he would have got the nod ahead of Ash.
It would be a good day for them to hush the doubting Thomas's.

I'm not bothered about Barnes keeping his place, i think he just about managed to keep the "shirt" in front of Vyds & J Rod, but Wood ?

Re: Burnley v Manchester United - Match Thread
Anyway, good luck to the lads toneet. I feel they will need it against a resurgent Utd.
I fancy us to score, prob from a set piece as opposed to open play. I don’t think we have enough of a forward threat to trouble them openly.
We certainly need the back five to be operating at their maximum, with the defensive duties of the midfield helping out so much we will struggle to break I feel.

"He scored a goal from 6 inches against a League One side, don't ya know?"
Which is something that nobody else did despite them playing for most of the match, don't ya know.

Whilst the other two get plaudits from some for getting into the right positions to have a chance to score (but fail) it seems Vydra gets no recognition for getting into the right position (even if it is six inches) and scores.
