No Michael Mellon, it would be a good game to settle him back at the club.
It could be a sign he will at least make the bench on Friday, especially with Foster looking doubtful.

Would be a waste of time unless we truly intended using him regular, which I doubt. If we play him Friday that means he can’t go anywhere else and he needs games so if we can’t give him plenty then he must go out on loan again.

Just kicked off

I can’t imagine he will be anywhere near our bench on Friday. If he played for us it would mean no further loan.

Would that still be in the case if he was on the bench but didn't come on (not that I expect it will happen, just curious)?

He will be nowhere near the first team on Friday, his loan move will already have been agreed and he's nowhere near that level at the moment either

Richardson seems to be really improving recently, should he not be out on loan soon?

[ClaretTony]

Double substitution at half time with West & Grant replacing Wane & Masara.

Still 1-0 and bloody cold.

Have the U18s played Blackburn earlier today?

88 mins: Burnley 1 Wigan 1

Finished 1-1 but Wigan hit the bar with the very last kick of the match.

[Buxtonclaret]

Cheers for updates.

[FCBurnley]

All our teams seem to concede late goals recently!!

I suppose if he didn’t come on it would be different but he’s been recalled to go elsewhere, otherwise we’d have left him at Morecambe.

Good to see Joe Westley back.

Thanks, Pete.

Fair play to Rovers OS. They put the away team up unlike ours.
