What a journey! Rain and blueifhts, coupled with traffic jams! Still whizzing down and I have to walk to Lewes Station.
Up the Clarets
Come on Burnley Come on Burnley Come on Burnley

Pieters is solid, but we've missed Taylor's overlapping runs. Hope he's back soon.

No offence, but let's hope that he isn't needed

Do we not have any offensive players in the youth team other than goalkeepers and defenders?

In a game like this I would have loved to see an attacking youngster take that last spot. Just to throw him on if we need something different

2 keepers, 2 right backs, 2 centre backs, a centre mid and two strikers. Surely we have someone who can play out wide in the 23s.

If Tarks and Westy have Covid then there are some big questions to be asked about our players protocols ? We are beginning to become a laughing stock !!!

If there is such a thing as a football God, he hasn't half **** on us from a great height this season.
You couldn't make up the things that have gone against us this season. To start finding some form, just to lose Tarks and Westwood is about the final insult. Just shoot us and put us out of our misery.

I cannot understand the thinking ever having two keepers on the bench. I’d genuinely rather put Ian Woan on there.
I’m struggling to remember a game where we have ever had two keepers injured/sent off - anyone? Part of me thinks Michopoulos and Beresford both got injured when we lost 2-7 at home to Wednesday but I’m probably wrong.

Be good for his experience if he is a prospect. The two right backs bit is the one that gets me more, even if a wide player from the 23s is on the bench for experience it’s better than nothing.

Hilarious putting a 23s keeper on the bench over an attacking player.

On a more positive note, Collins hasn't let us down so far, and the team is a balanced one. I just worry about Jack. He usually ups his game when he comes back into the side, I hope he does the same today.

Massive game for cork filling Westwoods boots ,does a lot off ugly stuff that gets unnoticed something cork is unfortunately not good at.

Yeah it will be a great experience for him but I feel this way even when we have Norris on there as well as Hennessey. If Norris is injured this seemed a good opportunity to finally put a young option on there to throw on as a last throw of the dice. I might be tempting fate but the odds of ever needing three keepers in a game must surely not be worth taking that bench place?

The Athletic have said they’re back for Wednesday and they’re usually pretty accurate.

That assumes that they're not ill with COVID, just asymptomatic with a positive test result.

He wouldn’t mention it at the press conference though. He definitely knew of one of them at the time.

Probably a fine line SD is treading. If Jay had scored when through one on one in the last game, he would be playing today but he didn’t. I would love to see him playing today but unfortunately he isn’t.
