Mighty Clarets versus Broken Glass XI

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Sep 09, 2017 10:53 pm

I am up and away early so Madge has agreed to get ready and start the build up early.
Big match which with a big, big win could see us as high as 5th. Let's get behind the lads and frighten Palarse to death.

Up the Clarets

Believe a win is possible but only 1 or 2 goals, so likely 7th place and above Liverpool. That would be great!

Hey could be handy as I know the words to that one

Well in at work for now all set for a rip roaring game as we tear ( I really do hope so ) Palace apart .

Toque was a new one on me Claret Canada and I had to google it lol.

1.1historical A small cap or bonnet worn by a man or woman.
1.2Canadian A close-fitting knitted hat, often with a tassel or pom-pom on the crown.
1.3 A tall white hat with a full pouched crown, worn by chefs.

You never stop learning do you?

Heaton, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Ward, Gudmundsson, Defour, Cork, Brady, Wood, Vokes

Woof! What a line-up. Absolutely going for it.

ExistentialWanderer · Post by **ExistentialWanderer** » Sun Sep 10, 2017 12:38 pm

Interesting. No Taylor on the bench either...

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Sep 10, 2017 12:40 pm

Only just noticed that EW. Maybe because Mee can move to left back in emergency, but Bardsley needed for right back.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Sep 10, 2017 12:44 pm

That's an interesting lineup. Looking forward to seeing how Vokes and Wood play together. Great that we have that little bit more flexibility now. Glad Gudmundsson retains his place. Watch him score a screamer today!

Oh I certainly wasn't suggesting you were knocking it. It does show how good our squad is, when Taylor doesn't even make the bench. I suspect had we started 4-5-1, he'd been there.

Warm 'Hello' to our world wide BFC community!

Seems De Boer has switched to a 4-3-3. Something boss man seems to have pre-empted with our line up.
