Team sheets due in 10.

Tough game but feel confident that we can win. COYC

They've had a mix of results so hard to guess but I'm going for a narrow win.

I should be there, but Friday night is not a time for playing football.

Friday night is for getting drunk and trying to pull. Sadly I'm only going to be doing one of those things, so.......

Come On You Clarets (and f*** off Sky)!

Maatsen in, JBG out.

clarethomer · Post by **clarethomer** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:02 pm

Good to see Muric back in.

Maatsen and Vitinho

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:03 pm

Lets hope Maatsen keeps his temper

under control ... we might miss Vitinho at left fullback though he has made that slot his own the past 3 games

Come on Burnley!!!!!

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:04 pm

Vitinho has been pretty poor on the right wing the two starts there.

Maybe tonight he gets a bit more space but didn’t suit his attributes in the last few.

Aside from that, good to see Muric fit.

Strong XI
Strong bench

And just think of the players who didn't even make the bench!!!

Greekclaret · Post by **Greekclaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:07 pm

Look at that bench. Still have twine, Zaroury, Dervisoglu, Beyer, Franchi to come in. Can also make a case for Lowton, McNally, Long & Costalloe too

Why don't we have the same number of subs as the prem , 7 not 9?

Same reason we don’t have VAR. Different league different rules.

Could be an interesting atmosphere as West Brom fans are talking about arranging to protest against the board.

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:17 pm

I really wouldn’t like VKs job. When everyone is available, it’s gonna be a toughy picking an 18.

I believe it’s down to costs for the clubs. Sure I’ve heard before a few year ago championship clubs didn’t want to match the bench numbers of the prem as it costs too much (more the lower end teams who have just been promoted)

upanatem · Post by **upanatem** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:28 pm

According to the fixtures list on this site, it states that the match is live on Sky. However, I cannot find a way of watching it on the Burnley FC site as it's only being streamed for those out of the country. Also, when I go to 'Now TV' where I normally watch Sky matches, I cannot see it listed on there. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:29 pm

What a bloody team that is. If there's a better starting XI in this league they're going up as champions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kyPwbm2NJ4 for those interested in the pre-match. Andy Hodgson just said "remember when we just had Cornet and we said pass it to him? Well now they're all Cornets and the goalkeeper's a Cornet as well"

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:33 pm

I am pleased to say that when I went to the ticket office, for my 'reprint' owing to lost in post. I was on top of their pile.

However, having sat down for 2 minutes, another chap has just arrived and has a ticket for the same seat!!!!

GDK · Post by **GDK** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:33 pm

Think we need to be careful not to get carried away after a couple of good performances against weaker teams. Tonight and Norwich will be a real test.

I suppose it would actually benefit us this season. I’m not a fan of the extra subs / larger bench though, just another benefit for the haves.

there we have it from the club - Durvasogloo

Brill! Many thanks. I found it eventually. The screen for our match was not visible – I had to scroll right to find it.

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:39 pm

Gonna be a big test tonight, Steve Bruce knows how to set a team up. A point could be a good result, but here’s hoping for 3pts

4 points from the next 2 would be a great return in my view, maybe we can do better and nab all 6, but there will be up's and downs throughout the long season.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:41 pm

Evening, Clarets around the globe.
Enthusiasm for football high. Good feeling about tonight.

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!

3 Points Please.

I'd snap your and off for 4 points from the next 2. I'd probably accept 2 draws tbh

Bruce saying we are going to be their biggest test so far.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:44 pm

This is a very tough game away from home. I hope we can get a result but I'll be happy if we give it a go and are competitive. It is a long way and let's not get carried away after a few excellent performances, it is still only part way through the rebuild.

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:45 pm

Nice to see Duffer on tv

Evening all from a wet Galway , now running a tad late tonight as just finished cutting the grass then the rain started as soon as i finished , love it when that happens .
So this evening will be tight just hope we score first .

Absolutely this.

I think not getting too high with the highs, or too low with the lows is how I’m treating it at the moment.

For sure never have we had so many options, great to see , going to be some disappointment at times , 9 to choose from would be great.
