MIGHTY CLARETS versus SheffU

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sun Jul 05, 2020 10:49 am

The proverbial 6 pointer.
If you added up all those extra 3 points, we would definitely be in Europe!

A win will add further momentum to our quest for Euro football, once again. I do believe the players have their eye on that and are to be commended.

Madge is equally looking forward to jaunting around Europe and is ready to lead us into battle today.

Let's do this!

Up the Clarets.

When we beat Sheffield Utd today will the headlines be ....

Any other suggestions?

Is it okay to have a pre-match beer, or one during? Missus frowns upon drinking before 3pm so may just get away with it as it's the Clarets. These early starts are no good for my game drinking ritual though. Only had a Bacon Croissant for breakfast ten minutes ago.

Afternoon All from the wild, windy hills.
Looking forward to a late breakfast of bacon, eggs, oatcake, tomato's & black pudding.
Quickly followed by 3 points!

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!

Options from the bench. Good to see.

It looks like Josh Benson is on the bench but i thought he was ineligible due to playing for Grimbsy this season?

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Jul 05, 2020 11:05 am

2 changes for us blimey, what's wrong with Mee, or is he just being rested, good to see Jay return, he's been our star player this year.

Sheff U unchanged from Thursday, perhaps a surprise, but they've also got injury issues, and a small squad to juggle.

I knew there was a doubt with him - good to see JBG, Brady & Wood on the bench and being July we can include Benson.

Who gets the armband with Mee out, Tarks or Westwood i suppose. Kev Long has never let us down when called upon, and that's why he's here for situations like this, reliable deputy if either 1st choice centre back is absent.

mkmel · Post by **mkmel** » Sun Jul 05, 2020 11:11 am

So Barnes of course,Mee,Cork and Lowton all missing.

Anyone else?

BenWickes · Post by **BenWickes** » Sun Jul 05, 2020 11:11 am

Ben Mee has a thigh injury according to BFC Twitter.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Jul 05, 2020 11:11 am

It makes sense not to risk Mee. Any slight injury, forget it.

Ooops - I forgot Brady was also on the bench! I forgot he played for us.

Stalbansclaret · Post by **Stalbansclaret** » Sun Jul 05, 2020 11:16 am

I’m glad it’s an injury for Ben... When I heard just now I feared it might be something to do with his baby daughter who had been born prematurely . Very pleased if it’s just a routine injury!

My thoughts as well!
Unfortunately there’s no such thing as a routine injury at Burnley!!!

Now you've got me wondering whether the injury is a cover.

Gordaleman · Post by **Gordaleman** » Sun Jul 05, 2020 11:25 am

This was always going to be a tight game and Mee being missing is a huge blow. Longy never let's us down but he's no Ben Mee.

Not as confident as I was earlier in the week and even then, I thought it would be a draw.

Hope we spot Ben in the stands. That would make me feel better.

Stop worrying. You can turn it the other way and say it's a positive that Brownhill is starting in central midfield.

If you're going on a break/holiday, then it's a pint at the airport regardless of time. 1am? Pint. 6am? Breakfast and pint.
