Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread

[mdd2]

You can almost see the headlines should it happen
Trafford starts against WHU despite suffering a hair line fracture to his wrist last week. WHU have agreed he can play in plaster cast as they have no concerns about possible head injuries to their forwards and VK is happy he wont cause any head injuries to his starting 10

[Carlos the Great]

Is it too late to put Solanke in my fantasy football team for this game ?

[Tricky Trevor]

I can only surmise that VK has a Redknapp, Clough, George Graham contract whereby he gets 10% of all signings in and out. For a man who played 10 years in the PL he is clueless.

[Safron]

Disappointed to see massengo the latest player going AWOL from the squad after seemingly forcing his way into the team

[BobSykes]

I'm doubly peed off because this is one of the games i picked last July when Pace conned me and thousands of others into panic buying tickets last summer on the back of the title winning euphoria. So I've actually had to trek up to Burnley to sit on the Turf this afternoon and witness whatever shambles unfolds today... least its sunny

[burnleymik]

Watching the warm ups. It's definitely the normal back four, so Vitty must be on the wing and BL in with Fofana.

[Carlos the Great]

How is Sky Tv going to cope with the sunshine beaming over Turf Moor ? .. They love to give the impression it’s raining here 24/7 .. maybe they will have to find an 80 year old Burnley fan to chat with .. with a flat cap and a whippet

To be fair Bob I doubt anyone saw this coming after last season and it was probably a shrewd match to choose. Like you say it's sunny and a day out and we have made changes so fingers crossed we make today the day we put in a good display.

[JimmyRobbo]

Trafford

Absolutely embarrassing.

How have you not accepted it yet?

You’ll be off to Ewood Tuesday night anyway won’t you Bob?

[CrosspoolClarets]

Not there today due to the early start and have sold back my tickets, watching on Sky. Baffled by the team, I remember the Bee Hole podcast joking early in the season about the expletives whenever we see an unpredictable team, feels like that today.

Vitinho is a trier and has some talent, but is outclassed at this level, plus he is out of position, so too, presumably, is JBL. All that weaponry on the bench but it can’t score from there. Really love to be wrong but it feels problematic today.

[burnleymik]

Assuming Vitty is there to run and run first half and then an early change for Benson to do some damage second half, or so I optimistically hope!

[Vino blanco]

On a positive note it’s good to see Tresor is back on the bench....he could be a game changer for us when he comes on.

There's no need to be this mean

[mdd2]

Any Clarets think this is the day when if we get panned the terrace revolution starts should our home record be P14 W1 D2 L11 Pts 5 Pts lost 37
I have never felt so bad about the team in all my 74 years watching us apart from the Orient season. Had a ST since the Orient season and have reservations for next season given the distance I travel to games now and what I think is to come.

Love the enthusiasm on this thread, and the variances in what people think of certain players

[Carlos the Great]

Benson will come on in the 87 th minute when we 2 down … VK saying he had his chance but didn’t take it

[Buxtonclaret]

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!!

[beeholeclaret]

On a positive note it’s good to see Tresor is back on the bench....he could be a game changer for us when he comes on.

The only way I see him changing the game is if we are leading when he comes on.

We live in hope though.

[burnleymik]

Wow okay. Looks like Odobert in in number 10 role and JBL on left.

[HollandsPies]

Think this is winnable ...

[burnleymik]

Looks like Berge further forward too at the moment.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Nice one o Shea

[Neil]

Nice one o Shea

Absolute stupidity

[OffTheBar]

That’s the most stupid yellow I’ve ever seen. What is he thinking (or not)?

[AmbleClaret]

Nice one o Shea

Idiotic from O Shea that,should be fined.

[Sgt. Pepper]

O'Shea. Ridiculous stuff.
Tough afternoon ahead of him against Solanke now.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Heading it out of someone’s hand taking a throw, wow!

[footballdiedin92]

Any legends got a linky?

[Neil]

Decent start

[burnleymik]

Feels better already this. Liking the look of this.

[Buxtonclaret]

Think this is working,

30 seconds in as well. Moronic.

[Buxtonclaret]

Good stuff.
Just needed a better shot.
Come on, Burnley

[burnleymik]

High press. Looking confident. Early days, but good start this.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Looks like they’ve been talking to Pogba outside the pub

[Longsider]

Come on you Clareeeeeeeeeeets

[Buxtonclaret]

Good lad Charlie.
Phew
