I'm excited about this match tonight, let's hope we can continue our form from the Swansea game!

Looks like Maatsen isn’t playing as he just posted a video of himself at home with his personal chef.

Kevin Long and Roberts have travelled with the squad.

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:17 pm**

Kevin Long is in the squad it appears

Same team as swansea minus maatsen

So not the same team then?

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:22 pm**

Why no Maatsen?

COYC….

Presume he’s injured if not in the squad.

I presume Vitinhio to left back and Roberta to right back then. Which in my book is a shame considering the partnership Vitinhio and tella have

Would far rather have Taylor coming in to left back.

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:35 pm**

Would rather see straight swop of Taylor for Maatsen if out

Team news out any minute now.

No Beyer or Maatsen.

No Maatsen and Beyer.

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:48 pm**

Shame, both been very good lately

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:48 pm**

No Baatsen or Meyer

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:48 pm**

Vitinho has played well down the left so no concerns. Shows how strong we are, although it's better when Barnes and Long don't make the bench.

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:49 pm**

Two changes to the back four that's just kept two clean sheets is frustrating.

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:49 pm**

Disappointed no Maatson. Good to see Long on the bench to help with any late aerial threat.

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:50 pm**

Hmmm hope Maatsen & Beyer are just being rested.

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:51 pm**

Long over Egan-Reilly and McNally surprises me

I'd like to see more of Dervisoglu

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:52 pm**

Actually glad to see we're using the squad with 3 games in a week.

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:54 pm**

Brave choice if Maatsen and Beyer just rested

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:54 pm**

Knocks apparently

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:54 pm**

Are both injured or rested. Seems a bit odd.

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:54 pm**

Obviously they’re not just being rested.

Long and Barnes as a front two just looks the real deal

Forced reportedly.

Imagine if it were a squad rotation that midfield and attack are more overdue.

Hoping it doesn’t have a big impact on performances which in my opinion have been much improved last game in particular.

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:56 pm**

Common sense suggests they both have knocks / injuries. They are hardly going to be rested.

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:57 pm**

Bizarre that he’s left Westwood out too. VK is losing the plot.

But we've had two different goalkeepers for those two clean sheets.

Both Birmingham and Sunderland local newspapers have been reporting that Burnley are missing 3 midfielders for both their games: Westwood, Twine and one other...

Think VK has learnt from the late goals conceded from headers so far this season. Long 100% on the bench to utilise for extra height to combat Juke if or when he comes on in my opinion.

Or as an auxiliary striker if we need a goal with 10 mins to play.

Spotted that too. classic clickbait, the third was Churlinov.

Evening all for a dark and dank Galway . Well all change again but we have the players to come in and do a job tonight and we will soon find out .

Nope. Just exactly as advised.
Smart arse

I know VK doesn't mind doing a bit of tinkering, especially when fixtures are thick and fast, but no way would he have disrupted things by not selecting Beyer and Maatsen after Saturday's brilliant showing. It's extremely frustrating that we've reached that level of performance and now suddenly have to shuffle the pack due to injuries. Let's just hope it's nowt too serious.

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 7:23 pm**

Hoping they're just knocks and we're erring on the side of caution. Immensely frustrating we can't keep the defence settled though.

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 7:23 pm**

Evening All.
Still purring over the last game.

Another 3 pts tonight would be good.

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!

Looks like Brum are struggling on and off the field - half the seats are covered over, it looks terrible.

They are actually one of the form teams in the league. Eustace is doing a fantastic job. Very tough game tonight.

Evening all, looking forward to this, confidence should be high, UTC

I believe their ground is literally falling apart around them. Hence the closure of sections of the ground.

Settle in on your sofa for your free stream and be quiet

Excellent noise in the away end already

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 7:32 pm**

Birmingham in solid form. Good defensively - will be a much different proposition than Saturday. We'll see a lot of the ball but they'll be organised and tough to break down. Will need some patience and to be mindful of the break away.

Come on Super Burnley
