2-1 down v Shrewsbury - Wood

[wilks_bfc]

Forget my last post

Burnley side to face Shrewsbury Town: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Taylor, Glennon, Tucker, Westwood, Goodridge, McNeil, Wood, Thompson.

Subs: Jensen, Elva-Fountaine, Mumbongo, Trialist.

Ohhhh wonder who the “Trialist” is

(and yes I know it’s likely to be some 18yr from Burton Albion rather than Messi, but we can live in hope )

Dyche spoke yesterday about us potentially getting Messi

[Dyched]

Knowing Dyche, he’ll have his CHs twatting the ball over his head every 5 mins. Messy.

Half time

Burnley 1 Shrewsbury 2
Burnley 2 Tranmere 0 - Bobby Thomas

[ClaretTony]

3-0 v Tranmere - JBG

[EarbyClaret]

Norris not involved?

3-0 v Tranmere - JBG

Good to see him on the scoresheet again, if he stays fit he will be a big player for us next season.

[bodge]

Yes let's hope JBG gets a full pre season under his belt and gets to trust his body again, good player is JBG.

[ClaretTony]

Finished

Burnley 1 Shrewsbury 2
Burnley 3 Tranmere 0

[bodge]

So we won 4-2 on aggregate, i'll take that.

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

No Kevin Long. Is this why he wasn’t in the Ireland squad?

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

I see we are listed first for both results. Were they at Gawthorpe or on the road?

[tiger76]

I know it's only pre-season, but Vydra and Wood both bagging is a good sign our forwards are finding the net.

[Tribesmen]

Nothing about Long injured over here in Ireland

[JohnDearyMe]

Selfishly I hope he doesn't play for Iceland in their upcoming games

Gawthorpe mate.

Both at Gawthorpe

He's made himself unavailable as has Gylfi Sigurdsson (Everton).

[ClaretTony]

Mee obviously still not fit then

If you look at the pre-season training pics there has been no sign of either Jack Cork or Ben Mee while Ashley Barnes has been working with the physios. The other one missing was Kevin Long but Dyche won't use anyone in a pre-season game if there is a slight problem which Long possibly has.

[Woodleyclaret]

Shrewsbury have some decent young players emerging. It might be worth us taking a closer look

[FactualFrank]

Cleansheet for Peacock-Farrell.

[dougcollins]

Can't believe Barnes still not available, that must have been the mother of all hernia ops.

[TheOriginalLongsider]

All these injuries! I blame it on the boogie!

[ClaretTony]

Can't believe Barnes still not available, that must have been the mother of all hernia ops.

There have been other issues Dyche said

[boatshed bill]

Good to see the U23s and a few U18s getting some game time.
If some of these could step up it would save us a fortune, we could even make a few quid.
