As expected, no Tresor.

[burnleymik]

The Tresor rumour wasn't correct then.

Sambo on the bench

[hoosier-daddy]

So looks like:

Trafford
Roberts ER Steve Pires
Cullen Laurent
Anthony Hannibal Sarmiento
Jay

[burnleymik]

Koleosho dropped, so Sarmiento on right I assume,.

That will be rested rather than dropped.

[warksclaret]

The number of injuries we seem to be getting combined to the long term ones is becoming a major concern , not withstanding the size of our current wage bill

[Buxtonclaret]

Hope Brownhill won't be out very long.

[burnleymik]

Tomato, tomarto.

True to a certain extent. But we also have a decent squad, and lots of players who could be back in the next 6 weeks. Other teams around us don't have the same depth, and if they suffer injuries, as is likely in the next 6 weeks, they won't have the backup we do

[boatshed bill]

Tomato, tomarto.

Whatever that means
Surely "dropped" would be just down to the bench.

[ecc]

Hope Brownhill won't be out very long.

Is it a sprained ankle? If so, from my own experience, it can be weeks. However, he seemed positive enough in a Bristol City fan's Vlog.

All depends on how bad the sprain was.

I’d like somebody independent to come in and oversee SP training methods. Something not quite right there imo.

[ClaretAL]

I hope Redmond gets some time tonight

To be honest there are other players in that team with more minutes under their belt, as Koleosho rarely does a full 90. Rested/dropped to the bench, whatever, but he isn't in the starting line up. You can read into that however you wish.

[Bosscat]

Hot water for coffee not working (boiler down) ... using flasks of boiling water for coffees etc... could be exciting if you want a half time hot drink

Thought SP may have taken him out of the firing line at home as he seems to be trying to hard at home ,would be nice if we could score a couple of goals then bring him on.

He does a lot of running around, probably needs a night off


TBH, Mik, I didn't notice his name among the subs. perhaps a tactical switch, then?

[jojomk1]

Other than Koleosho and Humphreys, that bench looks quite weak if things are not going to plan

Not really you've got a whole back 4 in that lot, then Massengo

Plus looking forward to Redmond coming on

Fully agree.

I find some fans are a bit too critical of some of our opponents who didn't spend anything last summer or very little.

We have backup with the exception of a couple of positions.

Not sure what it us.
He was in obvious discomfort. But seemed OK when acknowledging the fans behind the goal at the end.
He's started to look closer to his best after a few poor games.

Very fair points you can never fault his running and work rate.

[Tribesmen]

Evening all from a rather chilly Galway around 2 above , hope it's hot at the Turf well maybe .

[Buxtonclaret]

Good excuse to break out a single malt.

[Buxtonclaret]

Three Home Points, tonight, please.
COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!!

[alboclaret]

Fin ell. Went 2-0 brownhill. Forgot he got injured Saturday.

Fair poor crowd on tbh.

Let hope everyone is late

[Fretters]

Has there been any news at all on Flemming?

[derryclaret]

Evening all from a frosty Derry. COYC!

[Wo Didi]

Evening all from a chilly Belgrade, I quite like that line up I'm looking forward to this. Would love to see Redmond get some minutes I think he could have a big say in our season if he stays fit. On and off the pitch.

[Stonehouse]

Esteve looks to have his wrist in a pot.

[Buxtonclaret]

Was someone saying on another thread over weekend saying Mr Parkers coat cost over 4 grand??? That green one??

[Tricky Trevor]

It was 2 years ago this month that Ash Barnes put fiddlers to the sword and showed VK what he could do. I’m hoping JRod can grab a couple in the next few games and show the same to SP.
COYC

[Longsider]

Come on yooooooooou Clarets

[whiffa]

I love Chris Iwelumo but is he going to stop talking at some point? haha

[Longsider]

Nor which 1 up

[Tricky Trevor]

Laurent playing as the anchor and Cullen further forward so far.

[Buxtonclaret]

Really got into the swing of things on comms, last year or so.

[Longsider]

Sheff Utd 1 up

[Longsider]

Quiet on here tonight.

[Kgun5]

Sheff Utd 1 up

2 up, now.

[Buxtonclaret]

Bit of spark needed.

[Kgun5]

Quiet on here tonight.

Everybody who is able to be is at the game.

[Casper2]

What time is kick off ?

[hoosier-daddy]

We're doing alright just need to be better in the final third.

[Stonehouse]

Boring would sent a glass eye to sleep.

[Casper2]

We're doing alright just need to be better in the final third.

And midfield

[Buxtonclaret]

Best move of the match.

[hoosier-daddy]

Much better a couple of very good chances.

[Kgun5]

This ref is a lazy one, eh?
