90+6: Burnley 3 Bournemouth 1, Masara

He looked good, I thought.

Could’ve had another hatrick today - header in the first and through on goal well saved just before the goal.

I saw his hat-trick at Crewe on twitter yesterday, looked way above that level in that small clip - where did we get him from ?

Our best attacking player today I thought

He's been with us since he was 14. He has dual British/Zimbabwean nationality but perhaps my favourite fact about him is that his father is the splendidly named Anywhere Masara!

[Rowls]

Some pleasing results coming in from our young teams. It would be brilliant to see another young lad make the step up.

He's been at Burnley from U9 in fairness

[NewClaret]

Looks a player to me.

Even accounting for the age gap he looked quick, real turn of pace on him. Tricky, over did it/out tricked himself a few times today but on another day it comes off and looks brilliant. Looked a threat throughout.

Pressed well, challenged for arial balls surprisingly well, decent shooting.

I’d get him in the U23s on that showing!

[ClaretTony]

Strange game, three goals in the first half with not much good football. Missed some chances in the second half but defended well when we had too. And it was bloody cold in the Bob Lord.

[FCBurnley]

Big week for the boy Exciting times ahead for him hopefully

It bloody was cold.

Agree with your thoughts on the game. Was impressed with the defence today, thought we defended resolutely.

Forgot how bloody cold it is in the BL should have taken gloves and a jumper under my coat bloke sat near me wearing shorts and light weight coat brrrrrrrr

As you say strange game but thought we were well worth the win

There was a clip of that hattrick on here yesterday. I had a quick glance but looked for it today & it's disappeared!

[durhamclaret]

How many were there do you reckon?

[NewClaret]

How many were there do you reckon?

No more than 1k I wouldn’t have said. Maybe less.

I think we’d get more if we played on a weekend though.

[giveusaB]

It said 9 degrees on there but felt a lot colder in the Bob Lord.Been in a few times and the wind seems to always blow through this stand.Work going on behind the Jimmy Mac goal lower seating.

Also found out why folk are complaining about the Coffee in the BL ... it was slightly "warmer than tepid" today ...

Do we have an u23s now?

I thought 23s became u21s again?

[NewClaret]

I thought we did and that was the team Bevan played for. Just realised he was actually playing today

So no, doesn’t look like it. Good news was I was wanting to see him play & I have now

Number 7, who I also thought looked decent. I’d have known he was playing if I’d not been too cold to take my hand out of my pockets and check numbers!

[giveusaB]

With it being over lunchtime I gave in and bought a pie,£4.20!!

You're right, not sure when they switched back to under-21.

Good to see some of the youngsters impressing.

I don't think there could have been many more than 150 in there to be honest. We were all in one section of the stand.

[Quickenthetempo]

You're right, not sure when they switched back to under-21.

I'm glad they did.

I hated seeing young players staying in a system, where they weren't playing first team football, until 23.

They should try and move down the leagues and forge a career.

[NewClaret]

Ah okay, I stayed to the left so thought the whole stand was open. Sounded more.

[Flixtonclaret1]

Steward told me they were only expecting 100 - maybe if you add in the back room staff in grey coats sat in directors box
maybe 150

We've seen some lads leave us in recent years who have benefited from taking that chance.

Jimmy Dunne, Josh Benson and Mark Helm have all moved, Dunne was 23 but the other two were 21. Dunne has now played 100 Championship games for QPR, Benson is approaching 70 for Barnsley in the Championship and League One and it would be much higher but for injuries, and Helm, who left in January 2023 has now played just short of 50 League One games for Burton.

All three could have stayed with us and wouldn't have played anything like that if at all.

[ClaretLoup]

A bit remiss of you CT but you forgot about Bobby Thomas who has just got to an FA Cup semi final.

Just below league level Conn Clarke has emerged as a big goalscorer for Altrincham who are pressing for a play off place.

[Vegas Claret]

He's been with us since he was 14. He has dual British/Zimbabwean nationality but perhaps my favourite fact about him is that his father is the splendidly named Anywhere Masara!

cheers

Goals from this afternoon.

[Pickles]

Always wondered why they don't add some commentary before it's uploaded. Reckon it would take an hour tops.

[ClaretTony]

cheers

What you were saying cheers to was not correct. He’s been with us since he was nine.

I think there were different circumstances with Bobby Thomas. Cricky Conn-Clarke went to Fleetwood but we were releasing him.

[Leyland Claret]

There were 4 fans who were supporting Bournemouth in front of me who I presume were relatives as they were waving at one of their players when they came on the pitch just before kick off. That’s a hell of a journey for a lunchtime start on a Friday for an U21 game. Thats dedication.

[Jakubs Tash]

Bournemouth’s number 8 was the best player on the pitch. Levels above everyone else. Missed a sitter, mind…..

[Vegas Claret]

ok cheers for the correction, he looks quite powerful. Who is our number 7 in the video ? Looks a giant !!

[Vegas Claret]

what are they doing with the seats behind the goal ?

[bfcjg]

what are they doing with the seats behind the goal ?

Good question.

[ecc]

First time I've seen these lads. Three minutes' highlights but Tom Tweedy looks a player. Glad to see Vernon Masara show more interest in scoring than getting the Bournemouth defender sent off.

[ClaretTony]

what are they doing with the seats behind the goal ?

No idea what’s going on with the seats

[ClaretTony]

I think Joe Bevan was number 7. He’s the lad who came from the Lowland League in January.

I think Joe Bevan was number 7. He’s the lad who came from the Highland League in January.

Joe came from Albion Rovers who play in the Lowland League, not the Highland.

I remember watching the interview with him, big lad !

No idea what’s going on with the seats

From the highlights video it looks like the seats have been removed to allow access for a cherry picker, so my guess is some work going on or under the Jimmy Mac roof.
