Big night on our road to Wembley...where we can't go?

Let's get behind or heroes and march on.

Come on Burnley Come on Burnley Come on Burnley

Come on you Clarets...

Both centre halves rest plus Barnes, benson and Stephens in midfield jarod and Vydra upfront

Not sure who captain is

Bardo?
Jay?

Bardsley captain, perhaps?

That centre back pairing doesn't fill me with great confidence....

certainly going for goals in this one

7 changes is good rotation before next week

Is that a record? 6 posts until we get the first negative comment

I think Long will be captain.

Yeah! Let’s make Mee and Tarks play another game.

Or Pieters perhaps?

Same pair that only conceded one to free scoring Southampton.

I've obviously missed something - what's happened to Cork?

Unspecified knock apparently

He has “a bit of a knock” apparently

Not often we rest Mee and Tarks together.

Anyone know if Bournemouth have made changes as well?

Yes several.

Injured

Very disappointing and looking at their team be amazed if we can progress. We know the reasons for the team but it’s immensely frustrating that this is what football has come to.

Out of interest would many take an fa cup win if it meant relegation? I would all day long.

Is having an opinion not allowed on here anymore? Dunne hasn't played since September.

Kelly, Groenveld, Long, Lewis Cook and Wilshere are all out for Bournemouth.

Looks like a useful team. Glad to see both Gudders and Vyds in the team again. If they click into gear again we should be OK.

Not sure how much help Jay Rod will be. He's been poor recently, so let's hope he ckicks back into gear as well.

Still going for 3-0. Love to see Vyds get at least one of 'em.

People were saying the players were looking jaded and needed resting

They get rested and people complain we aren’t taking it seriously

You have given your opinion which you are allowed to! I was just making an observation, we’ve been playing 2 games a week since Christmas! We have got to rest players at some point, or just wait for them to get injured

Only Benson, Dunne and BPF without lots of Premier League experience, which under the circumstances is not bad, so cheer up a bit everyone.

Rodrigues loves this competition

Long's cup tied - played in 3rd & 4th rounds for Southampton

It’ll be nice to see Benson play a full game, and perhaps some more game time for Joel.

He was decent against Fulham.

I’m somewhat worried by that starting line up.

Maybe SD thinks the likes of Mee and Tarks need a rest and that the team he has chosen is good enough to beat an average Championship side. We do have a strong bench if needed.

What is it about their team that fills you with such trepidation ? Brooks is quality certainly but don't see any other names to fear tbh.

There is no way on earth I would swap our Premier League place for an FA Cup win, especially this season where we're looking at a final played in front of an, at best, half empty Wembley. I want us to win tonight and I want to win the Cup but I totally see the logic in the changes Dyche has made for this game. Tarkowski, mer and Westwood all play with huge commitment and I've been reading injury to them given the intensity of the schedule....not worth risking them in this.

Nothing wrong with the team on paper.
I'd be concerned about the partnership of Benson and Stephens, purely on the fact that it helps if your midfielders know each others game.
It isn't going to be a walk in the park, but it's certainly a team capable of getting the result.

There's a difference between making 2 or 3 changes and making 7 like we've done.

Yes several.

Thanks ClaretLoup.

Very pleased with this side and hope they pose SD some difficult questions or at least get into his head as possibilities for the remainder of the season and put some pressure on our normal starters, just to remind them we have alternatives if needed.

There's one genuine first choice, first team starter (McNeil) in our side.

Please don't suggest we're taking this seriously

Most teams make just as many changes for cup games, it’s only because we don’t usually that it stands out for us.


Let’s face it, playing the “first 11” hasn’t really worked for us in the past - in fact BT are just showing Lincoln beating us the other season

Afternoon all from a bitter cold day here in Galway , it will tear at yer this wind and could cut you in two a bit like Vids and J Rod up front one hopes .

All a bit of a rush tonight these early kick offs take some getting used to .

Anyway Game time UTC

I am not one to be negative far from it but I would play same as Saturday there is not a cat in hells chance we are going anywhere near relagation.It’s a great chance to progress and be one game away from Wembley,Bournemouth look pretty strong I think we will go out tonight

Might work out quite well. Blend of youth and experience in the middle. And yes I'm a glass half full person

Come on super Burnley

They might be different people?

There’s been a change Glennon is in for Pieters after an “admin cock-up”

Bournemouth XI: Begovic, Stacey, Carter-Vickers, S Cook, Rico, Lerma, Billing, Pearson, Brooks, Surridge, Stanislas.

Substitutes: Kelly, Mepham, Danjuma, L Cook, Kilkenny, Anthony, Zemura, Dennis, Saydee.

Not a bad team , need to keep the ball on the floor . Hopefully bards or pieters will give brooks a welcome to turf moor tackle !

Pieters out now due to admin error.

Probably an over excited typing error due to a cock up

In think they drew straws for a place in the starting 11 those with the short straws are playing what a freezing evening how do you motivate to play in an empty stadium on an polar night, good luck UTC
