Burnley v QPR Match Thread

Come on lads let's get this done and dusted. Suspect we'll see the return of several "regulars". I fully agree with the Man's decision to give gametime to certain fringe players. I also think VK has been giving a few players rest before the Battle of Blackburn. Barnsey is the first name on the teamsheet for Tuesday IMO. He won't want to miss that for anything. He'll love being Public Enemy Number One at Deadwood. I sadly predict local DHs venturing on the pitch to try to have a go and/or flares chucked at him.

Come on you Clarets!

I predict two or three Blackburn players will put in very heavy challenges on him in the first 20 minutes after his escapades at the Turf!

Great to see Jay Rod back on the bench

Strong side, that.
LETS JUST DO IT !!

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!!

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 2:28 pm

Good to see Jay Rodriguez on the bench.

dermotdermot · Post by **dermotdermot** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 2:29 pm

No Foster or Tella but just great to see Rodriguez on the bench. I was beginning to think that we’d seen the last of him.

karatekid · Post by **karatekid** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 2:31 pm

Absolutely gutted for Nathan Tella. He would have loved playing today if we clinch the title and we would love to watch him. Player of the season without a doubt. I’m sure he’ll be ready to join the lads in celebration if we win and light up Turf Moor with his smile.

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 2:35 pm

Any links, is the match being televised?

Maybe off topic slightly but could we have seen the last of Nathan Tella in a Burnley shirt? If he is not returning next season and isn't quite fit even for the Cardiff game it would be unfair on everyone to play him. Hope not

IWOODLOVETT · Post by **IWOODLOVETT** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 2:42 pm

I think that, providing things go well, we will see all of the remaining outfield-players (retained from last year) I.e. JRod, Ash, JBG, Corky, Josh Brownhill, Charlie T and Conner Roberts at some stage.
This will be the manager’s way of rewarding those players with a chance to acknowledge the fans.

All depends on who our manager is and then whether we can agree terms with Saints depending on which league they are playing in next season?

Afternoon all, rain held off not a bad day, a strong lineup to get the job done. COYC!

Foster not making the bench

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:04 pm

Is Clarets Player 3.5 minutes slow or did we kickoff late?

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:11 pm

Great to see Brownhill returning to action, and Jay on the bench, pretty much full strength apart from Tella.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:12 pm

Close from Maatsen, cleared off the line.
Chance for Barnes.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:13 pm

How did that stay out?

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:14 pm

What we got to do to score!!!

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:17 pm

All Clarets so far, just can't make the pressure tell.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:29 pm

So many chances and corners. We have to start making them pay.

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:32 pm

Phil Bird is a mong. Every single pass is a hook according to him. Drives me mad.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:36 pm

Not even pressing us. All men behind the ball and hope for a breakaway.

Yep. Big side, aren't they.
They'll be hoping for something like that.

THB misses a great chance.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:44 pm

Would be 2 or 3 by now had we scored the easy one with Barnes/Benson earlier

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:46 pm

87% possession. 15 goal attempts. Come on lads, make it pay!

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:47 pm

Doing everything right apart from sticking it in the onion bag.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:49 pm

3 minutes added is an absolute disgrace. Utterly ridiculous.

We are, just been poor in front of goal. Barnes in particular has shown why he hasn't scored many goals this season.

boyyanno · Post by **boyyanno** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:53 pm

QPR have been embarrassing. Time wasted since minute 1 and haven't even tried to play.

Hope they get what they deserve second half.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:54 pm

0-0 at HT, though quite how I'm not sure, just keep this intent up and surely we'll net one sooner or later.

Iloveyoubrady · Post by **Iloveyoubrady** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:55 pm

Best we’ve played for a long time. Excellent football - completely destroyed them. Now we need to score.

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:58 pm

QPR have had 14% possession in the first half…

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:58 pm

Same again second half but maybe pick up the tempo. They will get tired
