The SUPER CLARETS vs Cardiff City - MATCH THREAD (Carabao Cup)

[whiffa]

Tonight we welcome Cardiff, let's back the lads!

Here's Madge with the team:

[whiffa]

Our opponents tonight:

[Goliath]

Ffs. Please somebody just tell us what's going on with Tresor.
Surely he earnt a start by basically winning us the game in the last round

Also the bench suggests we really dont care about going out. None of the big guns there to bail us out.

Absolutely. It's very disappointing, as is 3 cbs.

[lakedistrictclaret]

11 changes, but that’s still a strong side.

[Procrastinate B]

Should have enough there to win.

[whiffa]

--------------------Weis
Sonne - Tuanzebe - Worrall - Humphreys
--------------Big Les --- Hannibal ---------
Edwards ----------Flemming ------ Pires
------------------Broja -

May be the formation? Tricky for the left wing.

[jojomk1]

Three at the back plus wing backs seems to be the option again

[Ptgclaret]

Will we see Flemming playing in his favoured #10 being Broja?

[lakedistrictclaret]

The main reservation is that there isn’t a lot of experience to bring on if things are going wrong

[Winstonswhite]

Is that a record transfer cost for a reserve team for Burnley?!

[Belial]

Ffs. Please somebody just tell us what's going on with Tresor.

Also the bench suggests we really dont care about going out. None of the big guns there to bail us out.

Yeah I thought the same. Is he just not in our plans any more and we're waiting for someone to sign him? If so, it surely can't be enticing any other teams when he isn't playing

[GetIntoEm]

People fuming before we kick off. That's the spirit.

That squad is more than capable than beating a league 1 side.

Tresor isn't starting because Parker hasn't picked him

[jojomk1]

Basher on the bench - what can go wrong

[jojomk1]

Ffs. Please somebody just tell us what's going on with Tresor.

Clearly the manager doesn't see him as better than any of that starting 11
Based on seeing him everyday and not just a few minutes during a game

[lakedistrictclaret]

Basher on the bench - what can go wrong

Well, no experience apart from Basher.

[Goliath]

People fuming before we kick off. That's the spirit.

That squad is more than capable than beating a league 1 side.

Tresor isn't starting because Parker hasn't picked him

Nobody's fuming. You've made that up.

[Buxtonclaret]

Let's Do It!!
COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!

[Goliath]

Clearly the manager doesn't see him as better than any of that starting 11
Based on seeing him everyday and not just a few minutes during a game

I doubt it's that simple

[jojomk1]

Espanyol losing at home to Valencia in a top five clash

Dyche to Espanyol

[Spijed]

Clearly the manager doesn't see him as better than any of that starting 11
Based on seeing him everyday and not just a few minutes during a game

But what's the point of keeping him in the 25 man squad?

[ksrclaret]

Nobody's fuming. You've made that up.

He/ she is just looking to start an argument again. Always at it.

[boatshed bill]

--------------------Weis
Sonne - Tuanzebe - Worrall - Humphreys
--------------Big Les --- Hannibal ---------
Edwards ----------Flemming ------ Pires
------------------Broja -

May be the formation? Tricky for the left wing.

I'd go:
Weiss,
Tuanzebe, Worrall, Humphreys, Pires,
Sonne, Ugochukwu, Hannibal,Edwards,
Flemming
Broja

But WTFKs

[boatshed bill]

The main reservation is that there isn’t a lot of experience to bring on if things are going wrong

And the U21s are playing tonight with what must be a very young side.

[GetIntoEm]

Nobody's fuming. You've made that up.

You're very defeatist.

[Tribesmen]

Evening all from a 23c and dark evening from here in Rhodes .
Kind of all set ,just need a strong coffee to keep me going .
It will be a tricky game but we will have enough to get by them .

[GetIntoEm]

He/ she is just looking to start an argument again. Always at it.

That's not true at all. Just moan moan moan is very grating

[alwaysaclaret]

People fuming before we kick off. That's the spirit.

Tresor isn't starting because Parker hasn't picked him

Yeah, great that eh ! £18m for a non starter.
I agree that we should have enough to probably get a win v a league one side in the carabao Cup, but to still be at this stage re Trésor, not exactly good is it. Understandable that people are not happy about the situation. Let's see if he gets any game time eh, because if not it could beg the question why the hell is he in the 25

[bpgburn]

Maybe SP thinks it might be a bit unfair to start Tresor ahead of some of the squad players who have played regular but are now missing out on game time in the Prem?

[Les Lawrence]

Can't we just pay his contract up,and get shut of him please

[Buxtonclaret]

U21s on youtbe at the mo

[Dark Cloud]

It's a very decent starting XI, notwithstanding I'm a little unsure of our formation or the roles everyone will play, but the bench is certainly an odd one. Parker must be reckoning on not needing to look beyond Tresor and/or Barnes! We'll see!

[IanMcL]

Tonight we welcome Cardiff, let's back the lads!

Here's Madge with the team:

Very pleasing to see Madge feature, without being censored! Well done.

[KateR]

Good to see a couple starting, hoping they can finish 90 minutes unscathed, and of course a win.

[John Gayles Shoulder]

For those who know a little more about them, what positions/prospects do we have with the younger lads named?

Always good to see them involved

[Procrastinate B]

Can’t access match choice on Sky Sports +.

[Procrastinate B]

Ah, sorted it.

[Aclaret]

From Greece here too, in Parga.
Relying on UTC site for match info.... Come on Clarets !

[Procrastinate B]

Worrall forgot how to football for a moment there.

[boatshed bill]

For those who know a little more about them, what positions/prospects do we have with the younger lads named?

Always good to see them involved

I think...
Brierly is an under 18 midfielder, he's very small
Pouani is an under 18 midfielder
Campbell is a defender (from what I've seen he's a prospect)
Pimlott is a left back or left wing-back
Clarke is a midfielder, recently signed.

[IanMcL]

Very slow start from us!

[Enola Gay]

Tuanzebe marking his big night out with an 'oh Vic, I've fallen'.

[IanMcL]

Amazing how when in the Championship, we smashed them. Now we can't get the ball!

[Burnley Ace]

First ten minutes- lazy with no sense of urgency

[IanMcL]

Shot Coocachoo. Saved

[CrosspoolClarets]

Most of them are making a real case for why the squad need match practice - they are playing like they haven't played in years.

On the flip-side Cardiff are well up for it.

[Enola Gay]

I hope we tip The Samaritans the wink before we do finally part with Tresor, whenever that may be.

His departure will rip so large a hole in the psyches of such a worrying number of Burnley fans they may never fully recover.

[Tribesmen]

Has anyone got a link which is not Sky etc

[IanMcL]

Burnley pressure in numbers.

[IanMcL]

Such poor passing from us.
