Flemming still crocked, no Roberts and sum of nowt upfront. Needs to be a busy week for the recruitment team.

The other half of the squad must have had a friendly somewhere else today or it's a little bit bizarre.

Is that lineup a consequence of Sheff Weds pulling out?

The bench is full of youngsters.

Both benches….

We only have one bench (that we know of) today. And half a squad missing.

Matt from the Burnley express has suggested we had a game this morning

Stoke away today for Burnley’s penultimate friendly of the summer.

I gather Burnley split the rest of their squad for an in-house game at the training ground this morning after the Sheffield Wednesday cancellation.

The starting eleven there looks to me like our best team of those currently at the club and available to play.

Bruun Larsen as a 9 over Foster? Not for me. I’ll also be surprised if we go 4-4-2 / 4-2-3-1 at Spurs, though might be wrong.

Must admit I thought the same.

That’s got to be pretty close to the starting eleven against spurs (subject to player fitness and any additional signings)

Wasn’t the last rumour that the Wednesday players refused to play without being paid?
There was another that the owner refused to finance travel and they were expected to use their own transport.
Gotta feel for Wednesday fans.

we had 2 games last Saturday one Huddersfield and one Shrewsbury
This week one this morning at Gawthorpe and away at Stoke so 2 benches required.
