Dale Stephens…interesting.

He can go up front with Lennon and Wood

Stephens for Cork

Stephens... Given up?

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:30 pm

Never know. He might have same impact as Lennon

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:31 pm

Come on Dale, welcome back

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:31 pm

Let’s give Stephens a chance please

Stephens on his way

Wish he was, and what's up with Pieters.

Makes sense to give Stephens a run out prior to the Leeds game, he can only add to our midfield options.

Ooooh It's Like A New Signing

Central midfield totally non existent yet again

Kazoo · Post by **Kazoo** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:34 pm

The commentators...

"Dale Stephens hasn't seen ANY action in the 2021/2022 campaign."

"Stephens hasn't the light of day since February."

If poor Dale Stephens isn't raring to go after those two revelations...!

Come on Charlie!!!

How can one of our most dependable players of the last few seasons have gone to **** this quick???

Maybe it's the hairloss.

It got Hart and it got Barnes!

You certainly seem to have a good knowledge of how this board works, having only joined yesterday, anybody would think you’ve been on here before under another guise!

FRANK-ly amazing!

Who was there to thwart that attack? McNeil

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:37 pm

Lennon is our best player so far.

Long Time Lurker · Post by **Long Time Lurker** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:37 pm

McNeil on the right is a waste of a player and for me a key element in our sub par performances this season. Dwight excels on the left, is a respectable option in the centre, but his one footed reliance makes him something of a liability on the right.

And yet, this season, we consistently play McNeil on the right. Nice to see him playing on the left in the second half.

I agree. He’s been the real positive tonight. I would be tempted to start him on Sunday as well

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:37 pm

Defended well there.
Great save again too.

Nothing wrong with effort and organisation but there’s no quality

That's a brilliant save.

Peacock-Farrell will have backache tonight, he has copped five so far at the Stadium of Light

Yep, it has to be said, and loudly.

Not one person on here (myself included) saw Lennon starting and was enthused at the prospect.

He’s done more in this 65 minutes than Gudmundsson (for example) has done all season. His shirt at Leeds for me (though perhaps on the wing if Cornet is back).

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:39 pm

Lennon looking like it's 2006 again!

Peter Loo · Post by **Peter Loo** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:40 pm

If he starts, he starts further forward again.

It'll be foolhardy to go to Leeds with this starting 11 and bench in what is a must not lose imo

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:43 pm

Hell of a save from Wayne

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:43 pm

If Cornet is fit for Leeds:

Hennessy
Lowton Tarky Mee Taylor
Cornet Westwood Cork McNeil
Lennon
Wood

I don't think it can be classed as foolhardy if those absent still can't make it.

Cornet will at best make the bench. I can't see Dyche starting him with so little game time + injury + covid.

Yeah, Lenno has done enough for another contract I think.

You seemed to have missed my point, there's 3 days between now and then so we could perhaps play it on a more preferable date

I’m surprised he has taken Lennon off there. Thought he was getting better as the game progressed.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:48 pm

Baffling you leave JBG on ahead of Lennon. He didn’t look in the least bit tired! Can only assume we’re saving him for Leeds.
