Good to have it back
Burnley 1 Cadiz 0

0-0

0-15, 14 Ben Mee own goals and a 30 yarder from their number 3

0-1 to Cadiz. A sign of things to come

6-1

Depends how strong a side we field I guess, and Cadiz start their La Liga schedule next Saturday, so whether they'll field a full strength side has to be doubtful, of course both managers may deem it useful to try and get their teams cohesion going prior to the big KO, so they may give their big hitters a run out.

I don't know much about Cadiz, but I'd imagine like all the Spanish sides they'll be comfortable on the ball, so it should provide us with a stiff test, which is precisely what our last friendly should be.

I'll take a punt on a 2-2.

Doesn’t really matter. Getting no injuries does.

Indeed! and normally you wouldn't be unduly concerned about picking up knocks in friendlies, but after that horrific tackle in the Leicester game the other night you always fear the worst.

I think the line up will be a strong hint as to the team v Brighton

Indeed Tony, could call it our final dress rehearsal.

2-0, Rodriguez, and Wood comes off bench for second

6-6

Yes I agree, I do hope Wood gets a run out on his return.

Imagine the meltdown if Aaron Lennon plays some part in the game!

Going for 1-1

No Barnes either

Looks like Lennon has re-signed then. What a shambles.

We certainly need numbers but I never expected to see Lennon again. Obviously Dyche wanted to keep him last time.

Local journalist has just tweeted Barnes is on the pitch warming up so is presumably on the bench.

No Lowts is a worry.

Something very wrong if this is the case.

Lennon. Jesus wept.

Lennon - Beggars Belief.

Any body doing score updates

Does game start at 2 or 3

Lennon-Legend

Lennon sums up the shambles that this club has become when it comes to recruitment. I can see Dyche leaving, he is being made to look ridiculous by the club.

Dyche asked the club to resign him.

Because it was clear the club had let him down

Has anyone managed to get the live video on?

I hope, if Aaron Lennon has indeed re-joined then the fans will him get behind him , it’s not the players fault. I do think he’d be ok for 1 year as long as we do get a first team winger in as well. We all wanted two proven and tested first teamers in but if this isn’t possible this window then we could do worse than someone who knows the division, the squad, the Dyche way etc. UTC

No, it doesn't recognise that I've paid and refers me to the link again. Payment went through and I got the invoice and link so looks like I just donated 5 quid

Does the game really exist !

I hope so as I listening to Phil Bird's commentary on Clarets+ right now. Free as long as you are signed up.

Pope & Wood returning at both ends of the pitch makes us look much stronger, and Lowts for Bards apart that's probably our strongest XI.

Down 0-1 at half time with a Cadiz goal from a long shot by Calderon in the 44th minute. Had a few chances from Vydra, Wood, Brownhill and McNiel but their keeper has done well.

Poor clearance setup the goal from 30 yards out

Does anyone know if we have put up a good performance first half ??

Get Lennon on, surely can be as ineffective as the current right side.

Not hearing anything on the link for the commentary - just got in and struggling to find commentary?
