Clarets v MKD Match thread

[maccclaret]

Assume BPF is one of the Covid casualties

[taio]

Hope JBG gets through this unscathed and has a good run without injury.

[Bigvince]

No Kevin long either, or dunne

[Buxtonclaret]

Match ball for Vydra?

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!

[IanMcL]

Well it's 2.16 and the teams are still not on the Burnley FC official site. Thought we would have bells and whistles by now!

[CrosspoolClarets]

With United next week this lineup is a clear message from the new Chairman, a message many of us have been waiting years for. No way would Dyche have picked this lineup a year ago in the same circumstances.

[Bigvince]

We can use 5 subs if required, be a shock if we did tho. We usually struggle making 3!

It was on the club's twitter page an hour before kick off as it always is

[IanMcL]

It will be nice to win the cup!

Tarkowski being cup-tied is also a sign of an effort to bridge the gap between player and club, towards a new contract.

Up the Clarets

I really don't think it is.

Or even one on occasions!

[ClaretTony]

Surprised he's gone as strong as he has. Interested to see how Norris performs.

I did hint

[Targetman]

It was on the club's twitter page an hour before kick off as it always is

Its normally on the clubs website at 2pm but at 2.20pm the message is still that they have nothing to tell us!!

[Guller Bull]

How is dry January going for you all?

Me - I'm starting with some of that nice Italian cider - Angioletti.

[wilks_bfc]

Strong lineup but not sure what else could have done

With Norris starting, assuming BPF is one of the positive cases??

[Funkydrummer]

All I can assume is that Vydra is absolute dogger in training.

[Guller Bull]

Who is Nartey on our bench. Heard of all the others but not him?

[Bigvince]

They might not want to cup tie Vyds, in case they get an offer they can’t refuse this Jan

[Guller Bull]

I've got a screen up and music on the FA player site - promising

[taio]

Its normally on the clubs website at 2pm but at 2.20pm the message is still that they have nothing to tell us!!

That's why I'm pointing out there's an option to view the line-up on twitter

[IanMcL]

It was on the club's twitter page an hour before kick off as it always is

Yes but usually on its official page too, as you would hope.

[bodge]

Nartey, Nartey very Nartey eeeezer good player.

[Tribesmen]

Good afternoon all from a sunlite day here in Galway , goodness -4 when i got in the car this morning but all is fine and happy to see the Clarets put out a decent team on the day .
Think we will win by 4 goals today i did think it would be tight but not now .

[NickBFC]

Can only assume Vydra isn't 100% or Dyche hopes Wood/Barnes can bag helping confidence. Dunne/Long/Westwood/Brownhill Covid related? Good side anyway here's hoping for a strong performance AND no injuries!!

[jtv]

Seems like BPF, Longy and Dunne c-19 victims?

[spadesclaret]

Re Madge -

I completely fail to understand why anyone is complaining about pictures of Madge. She is fun. She has been the mascot of the matchday thread for years, ever since HolyCustard found her in a shoe box in his cupboard under the stairs.

Could someone explain what there is to complain about?

[Targetman]

That's why I'm pointing out there's an option to view the line-up on twitter

Thats of no use for people who dont use twitter though is it?

[ClaretTony]

Seems like BPF, Longy and Dunne c-19 victims?

I think Long might have picked up an injury

[taio]

You don't have to use Twitter. I don't have an account. I simply go onto the website like anyone can.

[Steve1956]

Sorry IanMc didnt mean to step on your toes by starting this,hadnt seen you around and I did it rather early....sorry

[FactualFrank]

I've only just got back in, but may as well post it, as it looks a rather pretty layout.

22 centre back signed in November after being released by Chelsea at the end of 2019/20 season.

[Targetman]

Well perhaps if you had mentioned that originally people like myself who don't frequent the popular social media sites like twitter etc might have had a chance.

[ClaretLoup]

Some familiar names in the Franchise line up:

Dean Lewington 36 years old and 670 league starts for MK club plus 44 in the FA Cup, some going that.

Richard Keogh, 34 now, so often our twelfth man, and Cameron Jerome who banged a few in for Norwich in his day but is also 34.

Their No 10 Scott Fraser might be one to watch, 7 goals whilst billed as a midfielder.

Franchise beat Eastleigh on pens and squeezed past National League strugglers Barnet 1 - 0 in Round 2

With United next week this lineup is a clear message from the new Chairman, a message many of us have been waiting years for. No way would Dyche have picked this lineup a year ago in the same circumstances.

To compare and contrast today's starting XI, with a year ago in the Peterborough tie, here are the respective line-up's.

Today- Norris, Bardsley, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters, Gudmundsson, Cork, Stephens, Brady, Wood, Barnes.

Peterborough- Hart, Lowton, Tarks, Long, Pieters, Lennon, Hendrick, Cork, JBG, Wood, Jay Rod.

So apart from Ben Mee starting not hugely different that I can see.

We won the Peterborough tie comfortably, and with that XI we should win comfortably today.

[FactualFrank]

People on Twitter complain over bloody anything - they're complaining about us starting Barnes and Wood.

To me, as they haven't scored many this season it's a good chance to build their confidence and get them into some good form.

[Targetman]

I was trying to help you idiot.

I don't like your tone at all. I'm certainly far from being an idiot, I just don't use twitter and certainly wouldn't have known that I could go on that site to see team news without having to register.

I'd say today's lineup is slightly stronger.

I edited that bit out. Apols. But I don't know what you expect with your tone when I was trying to help and for future reference

Last season Dyche made eight changes from the Peterborough game compared to the team that had played in the previous league game. Only Tarkowski, Cork and Wood remained.

[ClaretLoup]

Have you been reading my match preview?

No, I did my own research

[Guller Bull]

Let it lie chaps - hug and make up!

Anyway just had a few quid on a 5-0 win at 40-1. Might as well go for the biggie and hopefully cash out values will be good at some point - Norris do your stuff!

[Guller Bull]

I'm a bit fed up of this dramatic Bond style music now!

[Targetman]

I edited that bit out. Apols. But I don't know what you expect with your tone when I was trying to help and for future reference

I didn't expect anything at all, myself and another poster were pointing out that the club website normally displays the team news around 2pm. At 2.20pm the site was still saying that they had no team news.

You then posted that team news was available on twitter.

If the club site had been updated then none of the above would have taken place. It was the fact that you called me an idiot for not knowing that I could access twitter without having an account.
Anyway apology accepted, lets hope we are in the draw for round 4.

Stream has begun for anyone waiting to log in

[Guller Bull]

Touch wood seems OK so far

[icu81b4]

Good afternoon all from the Coconut Coast.

Come On You Clarets.

3-0 will do nicely

[tiger76]

To me, as they haven't scored many this season it's a good chance to build their confidence and get them into some good form.

If Barnes and Wood are going to be our first choice strike force, at least in the short term, then absolutely why not start both and give them a chance to notch a goal or two, and as Jay's still side-lined who else are we supposed to play up front.
