Tarkowski?

I thought he was leaving?!

Chuckypad · Post by **Chuckypad** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 6:02 pm

Cheers Frank - Cheered me up a bit has this seeing Tarkowski and Barnes playing. They typify all things Burnley

CombatClaret · Post by **CombatClaret** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 6:03 pm

Totally random choice of player picture I'm sure

The usual suspects told us so, fidel ...............

Is Dale Stephens cup tied, or injured?

GandalfsBeard · Post by **GandalfsBeard** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 6:03 pm

The strongest cup line up I've seen in a while! Just wish we had the players available to give McNeil a rest. Sometimes you can play through a slump, but other times you need a game or two out

Just read CT's preview

We will also be without latest signing Dale Stephens. He made his debut against Southampton but will have to sit this one out having played in the competition for Brighton against Portsmouth prior to his move to Burnley.

Great, Barnes as well as Tarky.

Let’s hope he toes the line

BenWickes · Post by **BenWickes** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 6:06 pm

Good to see Tarks and Barnes back UTC!

claretblue · Post by **claretblue** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 6:07 pm

he seems to be holding his left arm...I hope it's not injured!

Great news this...providing he doesn't sulk (not likely under SD) we now have a great chance of doing well this season.

I'm delighted!

This is what it's like when you realise you have got to the game too soon

fidelcastro · Post by **fidelcastro** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 6:10 pm

The only player being completely rested is Pope.
The rest are still injured or in one case, cup tied.

Therefore I think it's a line up out of necessity rather than choice.

evensteadiereddie · Post by **evensteadiereddie** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 6:12 pm

How out of necessity ?

Other than Pope, they are all the remaining players available.

evensteadiereddie · Post by **evensteadiereddie** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 6:15 pm

Ah, I see. I thought you were referring to the starting line-up not the squad.

Gordaleman · Post by **Gordaleman** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 6:16 pm

I think that there an awful lot of people on these boards that are starting to realise that they owe Mike Garlick and Tarky a huge apology.

Clearly the board didn't cave in and sell Tarky on the cheap and clearly Tarky WAS injured and is now back in the starting line up. That wouldn't happen if he was going anywhere before Monday.

Will it stop them posting bile about people in the future? Probably not.

GandalfsBeard · Post by **GandalfsBeard** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 6:16 pm

evensteadiereddie · Post by **evensteadiereddie** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 6:17 pm

We'll still win.

Safron · Post by **Safron** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 6:17 pm

Strong line up but I wish Sean would give youth a chance on the wing than play Pieter's out of position,nowt to lose and he could unearth a star in the making ala Dwight

We started with Thomas, Dunne and Benson last week. They could have all played this week too but we are going with a stronger line up....

....I know Barnes and Tarks were not available last week but it’s good to start getting a couple of players back and give SD a little more choice. We’ve even got a striker we can bring on !

Good point that.

We'll need a replacement for Dwight, since he's leaving in a few days.

He might not have been injured.... Playing tonight doesn't prove anything one way or another.

Cubanclaret · Post by **Cubanclaret** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 6:21 pm

Thought we had a genuine chance tonight.....until I saw City's line-up.

8 out of 10 outfield players genuine 1st teamers.

Or perhaps he’s realised that Leicester don’t want him and West Ham can’t afford anything like the price so he is better off getting back to work.

Nah, he needs minutes. Reckon he would have started in the cup whoever we played.

Got my hopes up when I saw our team.

Then I looked at City’s...

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 6:24 pm

A bit light up front, I think k Ash will need a game or two to get upto speed
Great to see Tarks start, please God no injuries
Most pleased to see Brownhill back in the middle, wasted on the wing, should start there every game.

Always tough against Citeh, but at least we aren't waving the white flag.
Come on you Clarets

More along the lines. Neither Leicester or West Ham were prepared to offer what we wanted. Leicester are good at finding gems and I think Fofana will be another. That Turk was a gem of a find last season. They were never going to go over a certain price and West Ham was a joke.

You said it didn't prove anything one way or the other.

I'm asking why would we risk an injury to a player, if we're about to receive between 30-40 million for him?

A shame Thomas doesn't even make the bench. He played well last week.

Always look at things in a negative way eh?
