Ben Mee to play tomorrow

[ClaretTony]

Sean Dyche has confirmed tonight that Ben will play in a behind closed doors friendly tomorrow

[tiger76]

Excellent news however I wouldn't expect him to play in the Chelsea game, you'd hope he'd be available for the Brighton & Palace though, it's vital we pick up points in those 2 games, anything we get from the Chelsea match would be considered a bonus by most people, a welcome bonus admittedly, but a bonus nonetheless.

Fair enough but I hope the phrase 'a free hit' isn't attached to the Chelsea fixture because there is no such thing in competitive sport. Cricket has it, baseball maybe, I don't know but definetly not football.

I agree. We could pretty much take the Chelsea game as a free hit.

[Spijed]

I agree. We could pretty much take the Chelsea game as a free hit.

You'd like to think that if WBA can stick three past Chelsea fairly easily then we must have a great chance.

Hook, line and sinker. Thank you.

It's took us five games so far to score just 3 goals

And when WBA scored those 3 it was against an untried defensive formation

But, I admire your optimism

Played 70 mins....

Mee played 70 minutes in a 2-0 win versus Derby

Played 70 mins....

Cheers. Good stuff. I’d play him vs Chelsea, get him fit ASAP.

I think they are looking at another friendly before the return to the first team

I think they are looking at another friendly before the return to the first team

I think that would be for the best. He needs a full 90 minute game before he comes back.

So you don't think we have a chance against Chelsea?

[NewClaret]

That’s fair enough but will mean his first game(s) back fall in vital games.

Mee played 70 minutes in a 2-0 win versus Derby

Opposition was a Derby academy team.

Our team was: Will Norris, Marcel Elva-Fountaine, Bobby Thomas, Ben Mee (Trialist 70), Anthony Glennon, Trialist (Trialist 55), Josh Benson, Mace Goodridge, Ne'Jai Tucker, Lewis Richardson Rob Harker (Max Thompson ht).

Won 2-0 with goals from Goodridge & Thompson.

[NewClaret]

So you don't think we have a chance against Chelsea?

I don’t, being realistic.

If we were we winning games & injury free, might be a different story, but it’s hard to break that psychological barrier whilst playing against the top teams. Hoping for another solid defensive performance to build from.

[jojomk1]

But, when fit, who would make way ?

Long looked like a mix of Frans Beckenbauer/ Bobby Moore last night

Seriously, can't wait for the guy to be back

Like a new signing

Thanks CT. Sounds like an average opposition but you have to beat what’s in front of you. Good to see Thompson netting.

Well lets hope this new signing of Ben will be better than the "new signing" of Ashley Barnes who is way off the pre-injured striker we had.

And even then wasn’t at the level JRod has played this year.

Not according to the manager - he singled him and Wood out for praise for their performances last night.

[Bosscat]

Just been reading on the BFC website Ben played today in a 2-0 win over Derby under 23's (70 minutes)

And virtually an U23s team for Burnley.

No arguments. He did exactly what was expected from him. Certainly got into them and apart from the arm into Alderweireld, never a booking, he was fairly honest.

It took us three games actually. Then we went two more games without scoring.
