West Brom v Clarets Match thread

[warksclaret]

We have only Foster who can play the No 9.Jay and Hountondji should be nowhere near the starting line up which has forced Parker into this line up.It appears they have worked this week on playing in the final third. It’s as good a starting 11 he could pick-there will always be debate on whether Cullen or Laurent start but at least we have Laurent snd Hannibal on the bench.ImportNt we score first tonight

[KlyBfc]

Can't believe people genuinely think Laurent should start over Cullen

Baffles me too.

Cullen plus one of Laurent, Brownhill (whos been awful last few games) or Hannibal.

[Stonehouse]

Typical Sky lady presenter weve never heard off presenting a match that only around 30,000 people are interesting in.

[BurnleyFC]

Baffles me too.

Cullen plus one of Laurent, Brownhill (whos been awful last few games) or Hannibal.

Brownhill probably only keeps his place because he’s captain (which I don’t think he should be)

We need a captain’s performance from him tonight.

[hoosier-daddy]

Sky themselves have just shown the Swansea game will be on Sky Sports+

We already showed that this afternoon in another thread

Brownhill was poor against Millwall and I think he’s the kind of player that will know he needs to get that one back tonight

[ClaretLoup]

I think the fact that the two centre forwards that we have available are both sat on the bench neither of whom have scored a goal this season or have even looked remotely like doing so, tells you all you need to know about Parker's predicament and the difficulties he is facing following the almost farcical transfer window.

Some of the Parker out brigade perhaps ought to give that fact some contemplation.

So do you think that him being our only central midfielder who's a serious goal threat and that he is our highest goalscorer overall by an absolute mile has nothing to do with him being picked then?

[ClaretAL]

CT just been shown on TV

[Lowbankclaret]

You'd hope to see Sarmiento running beyond Flemming.

Let’s see how this works??

How many minutes have they had between them?

[jrgbfc]

Looks a very small following from us.

What's wrong with that? I think she has been excellent so far, with good football knowledge.

Hence my thread on here about how many goals are in this team.

Have you been watching us?

He started the season very well but has been very poor recently.

He needs to perform tonight.

[derryclaret]

Evening all, lovely weather up here most unusual, can't see anything else but a draw

[burnleymik]

Wow. Koleosho left and Anthony right.

[Bosscat]

Wow. Koleosho left and Anthony right.

Was just saying exactly the same

[expoultryboy]

Crimewatch ??

[HollandsPies]

A good start. We're up and at 'em.

[Buxtonclaret]

Close!
Come on, lads.

[Rick_Muller]

I felt the keeper fouled Flemming there

[HollandsPies]

Much more urgency so far tonight. Looking good

[Buxtonclaret]

Chance there for Anthony.

[Murger]

Started better.

[Lowbankclaret]

Atmosphere sounds like a reserve or under 22 game.

[The Hung Juror]

Don’t want to be negative or tempt fate, but we do always seem to start brightly.

[distortiondave]

I felt the keeper fouled Flemming there

Me too. I'd say that's a modern day penalty in the premier league, but Tim Krul would argue differently.

[Lowbankclaret]

You'd hope to see Sarmiento running beyond Flemming.

Both Samiento and Koleosho have now run beyond Fleming, perhaps part of the plan.

[HollandsPies]

Fair point Hung, but this is miles better than what has been dished up recently.

*touch wood.

[Goalposts]

Better movement with this line up..

[Newcastleclaret93]

We are looking good so far.

Happy with our start.


But what the hell is going on with the atmosphere is this the quietest game you have heard?

[willsclarets]

Way more options so far. Don't know why it's taken this long to try it, but delighted we are

[Commy]

Sarmiento and Anthony have linked up well a couple of times.

[willsclarets]

We are looking good so far.

Happy with our start.


But what the hell is going on with the atmosphere is this the quietest game you have heard?

It reminds me of covid

[Buxtonclaret]

We're moving the ball quicker. We always look better doing that.

[Safron]

Started well plenty more tempo about our play nice to see

[Newcastleclaret93]

It reminds me of covid

Horrific isn’t it.

You can actually hear individual fans in the crowd shout

[Goalposts]

Pires giving more going forward than humphries also

[Roberts' Tash]

Clarets stellar away support doing us proud

We are looking good so far.

Happy with our start.

[bfcjg]

10 times better than Sunday.

[hoosier-daddy]

These 3 with Flemming can certainly keep improving together if they stay fit.

[JohnDearyMe]

Running out of ideas when we get to their penalty box but at least it is much better than Sunday so far

[FCBurnley]

Much more effort and movement tonight. Should be ahead

[ElectroClaret]

Doing well, but we need to make it count while
we're on top.

They'll come into it for sure.

[Buxtonclaret]

Ref's being a bit pedantic.

[edlass]

We are playing better but it's like the 18 yard box is a genuine forcefield we keep hitting.

[Jakubclaret]

10 times better than Sunday.

Still some distance.

[hoosier-daddy]

Flags going up too easily.
