Wow, that wasn't what I expected to see....

Egan-Riley!

trafford back in. Hountondji starts, Massengo Starts.

Crikey.

[NickBFC]

Oh dear. From the side at Luton, to this. A LOT of work to do on and off the pitch. Delighted with a point today.

[FCBurnley]

Holy cow WTF

[claretskeith]

Trafford
Roberts ER Esteve Pires
Vitinho Brownhill Massengo Houtondji
Foster JR

[ksrclaret]

Absolutely unbelievable what’s happened to the squad in the last 2 weeks.

Where is Cullen?

[williamjblazkowicz]

That's O'Shea gone then I assume, based on recent reports and central defensive additions.

[Hedontplayforyou]

How on Earth has this happened?

[Murger]

2 keepers when we have a million players is weird.

[claretskeith]

That's a top 6 side at best.

[Kgun5]

Only five of last week’s 11 starting.

We win 6-0 today, then?

[Claret Alfie]

We could have fielded a team of wingers last season; and now we have none

[jedi_master]

Praying Cullen is just injured and not the latest sacrifice to Alan’s Klarna.

[FCBurnley]

If Amdouni can’t get in that team then he will certainly be leaving one way or another

[KRBFC]

What an awful awful side that is

Benson Cullen O’Shea Koleosho Weghorst ?

[williamjblazkowicz]

It's a sign of the times when I have no idea who so many of the squad are. Hugill, McDermott, Masara? Never heard of them! Can only assume they're youngsters?

[ksrclaret]

That's a top 6 side at best.

Not going to lie, I think that’s extremely generous.

Mid table for me without bringing anyone else in.

[cockneyclaret]

Half the subs I've never heard of lol

[burnleymik]

Hugill and Masara on the bench too.

[Conroysleftfoot]

Anybody hear about illness at the club? Will be fortunate to get a point.

[Stonehouse]

Slagged off 2 weeks ago saying we would be short of wingers and all of a sudden we haven’t a winger in the team.

[KefkaClaret]

That lineup is awful, be delighted with a point

[Kgun5]

An anon with one post said Cullen and Koleo are hurt.

Edit: he was right about everything else.

[claretburns]

From last week's squad the following are missing:

O'Shea, Cullen, Koleosho, Gudmundsson, Benson, McNally and Weghorst.

A few we knew about but even with Cullen and Koleosho missing it shows has much we have gone from a bloated squad to barely being able to fil the bench.

[claretskeith]

We're back in the Dyche era with that bench.

[Les latcham fan club]

A week left in the window the board need an arse kick. Yep relegation means players have to go however this feels a step too far.

[KRBFC]

And where is Enoch Agyei?

[blatherwickstattoos]

If we win today it’s the result of the season. I hope I’m
Wrong but this is a worrying sign and team.

[burnley007]

Ok, I'm in the Fire Sale brigade.

This is an absolute joke.

[Guller Bull]

No Benson

[Goody1975]

A big week coming up, this time next Saturday could be a completely different place.

[jedi_master]

And where is Enoch Agyei?

Good spot - surely he’s not going too

[Tricky Trevor]

So maybe.
Trafford
Roberts..Egan-Riley..Esteve..Pires
Vitinho..Brownhill..Massengo..Houtondji
……..Rodriguez..Foster

Koleosho injured or about to be sold? Who’d know!!

[DCWat]

That looks a long way short of a team that can realistically challenge for a top two position.

The bench isn’t exactly full of options to change it offensively.

We really do need to be bringing some quality into midfield, out wide and likely up front at well.

Such a change in a very short space of time.

What is up with Cullen and Koleosho?

[claretskeith]

A week left in the window the board need an arse kick. Yep relegation means players have to go however this feels a step too far.

They clearly don't know how much cash you get from being promoted to the Premier League. Even though they've experienced it.

[blatherwickstattoos]

I’ve had shits all week. Bug going around my work. Loads of people I know are saying same.

[claretburns]

Anybody hear about illness at the club? Will be fortunate to get a point.

First thing I said on a group chat, with Trafford and Zaroury missing with illness last week has something gone through the squad.

[Goody1975]

Ok, I'm in the Fire Sale brigade.

This is an absolute joke.

Ask yourself that question on Friday night, let's see.

[claretskeith]

That looks a long way short of a team that can realistically challenge for a top two position.

It's a top 6 side. We just need to get lucky with the playoffs.

[NickBFC]

Feel really deflated. Classic Burnley to be flying top of the league to proceed flogging anything that moves for profit. I really hope there's a simple explanation for this side I.e bug in the squad otherwise we're in a big mess. Now I've said that we'll win today!

[Hedontplayforyou]

It’s a **** show that lineup given the yooos at our disposal a few days ago

[RVclaret]

Unbelievable that. Appreciate there’s a bit of an injury crisis and illness right now but wow, what a comedown from the Luton game.

[FCBurnley]

Where is Worrall. He said he was fit and ready to go !!!

[ksrclaret]

Won’t be long before Pace and Ball are crying about the atmosphere again.

[Devils_Advocate]

An anon with one post said Cullen and Koleo are hurt.

Edit: he was right about everything else.

Joe Worrall's signed up to the messageboard and is leaking the team news already!!

[Conroysleftfoot]

Looks like a day when Trafford will need to show if he really is a top keeper.

[williamjblazkowicz]

How do we not have better than Egan-Riley? That's a worrying sign to me. Where has the guy been last couple of seasons?

*Checks Wikipedia*

Hibernian and Jong PSV

[summitclaret]

This is outrageous. Is there a bug about? Why is Amdouni not starting? At least McNally could have been risked at cb. CJER is a midget.

[ecc]

It's a sign of the times when I have no idea who so many of the squad are. Hugill, McDermott, Masara? Never heard of them! Can only assume they're youngsters?

They are.

[Claretitus]

With that side out, we’ll be lucky to get anything but a hiding. Selling off more of the “family silver” it seems.
As stated above, this mob would be lucky to get mid-table. SP must be now wondering just wtf is going on!!
