Cardiff City v Burnley match thread

[groove]

Here we go folks. Line ups please

[whiffa]

[Devils_Advocate]

Can't argue with that team. If Humpreys was fit Id have him ahead of Pires and there's not much in it between Flemming and Foster but with the available players I reckon this is our strongest 11

[groove]

I think that's the line up I'd have selected.

[AlargeClaret]

Can’t complain with that , leaves us a decent bench as well . Only really missing Bash Humph ( injury) Though no Shelvey on bench

[Tricky Trevor]

That translates to:
Trafford
Roberts..CJER..Esteve..Pires
Brownhill…….Cullen
Edwards……Hannibal….Anthony
Flemming

Super side. COYC.

[jojomk1]

After last Sat you wouldn't call that a strong bench

Roberts..CJER..Esteve..Pires
Brownhill…….Cullen

Flemming

I hope not as Brownhill needs to be the furthest forward of the three but I wouln't be surprised if you are right. If we get on top early hopefully they'll both be pushing forward and it won't matter

Any one or two of them is fine, the problem comes when they are all playing.

[Tribesmen]

Evening all from a cool and cloudy Mojacar , humm 16c but feels colder .
Yep hope we are back to winning ways tonight .

[Buxtonclaret]

Evening All.
Hopefully the lads step up tonight.
Reckon we all need a lift after the Preston mess.

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!

So obviously, This is our ‘game in hand’, need a win to stay close to the top two.

Saturday Sheff Utd play Preston at home, (hopefully a lose or draw for SU)
We play Luton at home
Sunday, DL play Portsmouth away (Can’t see DL losing)

We play twice before DL and could be only 2 points behind by the time they play again,might see them crack but I doubt it.

[Colburn_Claret]

I'd still prefer 4 in midfield, but you can't complain about the line up.
All down to attitude now, I pray we set off at a fast pace, and keep it up until we score. The games where we start patiently are usually boring and self defeating.

[claretspice]

A little surprised that Laurent doesn't start given he was rested on Saturday and we could have used his physicality but other than that no surprises.

No excuses now ……….pedal to the floor!!!!!!

COYC!!!!!

Anything surprised you today, Spice?

[Commy]

Anything surprised you today, Spice?

[Dark Cloud]

Happy with the team (but Humphreys is a big miss imo) A couple of weeks ago I'd have been crowing over the strength on that bench, but having seen several of them on Saturday I'm just praying we don't need them!!!

[derryclaret]

Evening all, decent bit of weather up here, three points needed to keep the pressure on Sheffield COYC!

[Shaggy]

Evening from a sunny Nairobi…

Hope for a repeat of the home game please

[JohnDearyMe]

Redmond seems to be totally out of the picture. It's not as though Sarimento and Koleosho have been consistently delivering/creating chances either.

[Frenchclaret]

Seem to have another commentator in the background on Clarets+ . Hopefully they will sort this out soon.

[wilks_bfc]

How was that a free kick to Cardiff when Roberts was taken out

[Goliath]

Presumably he's not at the level he was pre injury

[Fretters]

Why can't Pires pass infield to one of our players??

[Commy]

Did that not come off a Cardiff player?

[Ric_C]

Yes, terrible decision by the lino

[Somethingfishy]

Decent start. Pires giving the ball away for fun though.

[claretlegend]

Any one else seas ick after 10 minutes? The camera seems/seemed to be bouncing around. I've also got 2 commentators on at once!

[rosswallacefreekick]

Are we playing in a closed stadium like in lockdown?

Place looks empty!

[Conroysleftfoot]

It's like a reserve match, there is no atmosphere at all.

[wilks_bfc]

Pires with a whack and hobbling

[Burnley1989]

Terrible support to say they're the capital city

[Goliath]

This is a depressing watch, where is everyone. Thank God I'm not a Cardiff fan

[Longsider]

Come on yooooooooou Clarets

[tarkys_ears]

Ohh!

Beautifully clinical finish from Brownhill

[jos]

Great goal , Brownhill

[BobSykes]

Brownhill yes!!

[Buxtonclaret]

Brilliant!!!!

[tarkys_ears]

Will that go as an OG?

[Bosscat]

Joshhhhhh Brownhilllllllll get in lad

[HahaYeah]

Brilliant goal.

[Burnley1989]

Great goal

[Buxtonclaret]

Very clever finish by Josh there.
Top marks.

[BurnleyFC]

That’s a terrific goal.

Great cross from Hannibal and an even better finish from Brownhill.

[Burnley1989]

Who was it who wanted him dropping tonight?

[Murger]

Keep it coming. Great start.
