I know they must have some compromising pictures of Kompany or something because they are not there on form.

Looks like we’ve given up on Tresor

Afternoon all from a bright and sunny day here in Galway , lets hope the Clarets are bright in sunny in South London today .

Best thing about selections today, cover in every position, still no sign of Beyer

Really hoped he would change things up today, especially after last week, but it's so predictable.

Love JBG, but he just sin't effective wide anymore, not through any fault of his own. Amdouni starting, after being hooked at HT last week and given his recent displays is bonkers. Poor Trafford still being hung out to dry and Brownhill still starts, given the line up means we will unlikely see the best of Berge.

i really don;t want to be negative, but as soon as I see the line-up, my heart sinks.

Oh well, you never know, I hope they all prove me wrong and give a display we have been waiting for all season....

Trafford again.

I saw a few posters after the Arsenal defeat suggesting that Kompany had to reflect and change things.

Well...

No Tresor.

Is it three wingers down from our first team squad (Koleosho, Redmond, Zaroury)? Add to this the missing forward players, Foster and Ramsey, and he still can’t even make the bench.

I wonder if we’ve decided that he’s not what we need - not good for us and not good for Tresor.

Lot of Palace fans on here today!! Slagging our team off before we’ve even kicked a ball!
Come on Burnley, let’s get this one Won!! UTC!!!

I know we are more of a shop window than a football club but surely any shop keeper would rotate the stock especially the stale things.

Vk stubborn as usual, but JBG is in for Ramsey, who is not a wide midfielder, improves us. Should really have Cullin in though instead.

If I was Muric Cork Cullen Trésor Benson Roberts Ramsey Koleosho Ekdal Foster Zaroury J Rod etc I would be super unhappy for various reasons
If I were Trafford Amdouni or Brownhill I would be laughing all the way to the bank

I said on another thread, at the presser VK seemed upbeat and happy until asked about Tresor.

I cannot understand that selection for the life of me, but I hope VK is right and they manage 3 points. UTC!

I don't rate Tresor at all but we need clarity on what the situation is there. Is he injured? Is there some secret clause where if we don't use him we can send him back? Has he got a bad attitude? Or is he just so crap that the bench is too good for him?

Options 3 and 4 probably but I hope it's option 2

He's recovering from illness according to VK in his press conference

Read this week that Tresor has been ill, not injured.

Kompanys stubbornness and reluctance to change is mind boggling. I don't know what Cullen, Muric or Benson have to do to start. To their mind now it must seem impossible. Sad

Laughable

I don’t think Tresor will be here next season. The situation we had with Vossen springs to mind.

I can see him going to somewhere like Club Brugge for an undisclosed fee quite soon after ‘signing’ with us.

Trafford, Amdouni and maybe even Brownhill very fortunate to be still regularly starting games.

I thought a few months ago he was a 1 in 6 player, I'll hold my hands up and say I was wrong.

He's more like a 1 in 8 player!

Absolutely. These players must know their time is up with Burnley.

Just got thrashed 5-0 with some of the worst attitudes we’ve seen from Burnley players in a long while, and it’s same again.

If he has had the respiratory virus that is rife, certainly here in the midlands, which I an just recovering from, then it could be 4 or 5 weeks before he recovers. It is a NASTY one.

Anybody know why Amdouni always plays with a heavily bandaged hand. Serious question

The match thread, an ideal opportunity to use a variety of bizarre adjectives
I might offer a small prize to the best of the day.

Unlikeable is mine

Like Kompany and an increasing number of other fans, i barely give a toss any more. Whatevs.

It's an absolute tragedy what's being allowed to unfold at our club. Unforgiveable.

You'll have to be careful with that level of speculation. Someone on here might tell you off for prying on his medical history

Well earned starting places for Trafford and Amdouni. If they have howlers today they will be shoe ins for next week.

I thought we were playing away? Who is in my seat???

I personally think this is a much more balanced team and in theory should make us more competitive.

JBG give us much more with his work ethic and tactical nous.

I’m just amazed Amdouni has managed to keep his place.

This is a massive game for VK. He’s got to get a result

Not on the bench but Basilio Rieno Socoliche is warming up with number 35 on his kit

Why does he have to get a result?

If we get beat 3-0 nothing will happen and the same team will play next week.

Anyone got a stream?

Yet here you are moaning about it at 2.35pm on a Saturday afternoon when there is a big wide world out there with so much more too do.

I personally think the longevity of his career is dependent on how he performs over the next 4-6 games.

He’s got to start showing he can be at least competitive at this level. He doesn’t come across as a manager that will be happy just settling in the lower leagues.

I think it’s almost make or break time for him. He either becomes a successful premier league manager in the short term or he gives it up.

Admire your optimism. But we're League 1 bound unless there are massive changes.
