Have we bought Barnes on or something?

60 mins: Burnley 1 Sheff U 3, Lewis. Broke through on right and shot at near post seemed to go through the goalkeeper.

68 mins: Burnley 2 Sheff U 3, neat finish from Costelloe

[clansman]

Marcel Lewis who is smaller than Brian Flyn playing well in second half!

[ClaretTony]

Lost 3-2. Game ends with a brawl, third of the game.

[ClaretTony]

Much better in the second half and Sheff U can consider themselves very fortunate not to have players sent off.

[Buxtonclaret]

Cheers for updates.

Think it was Lewis who earned rave reviews last time out when Costelloe bagged a hat trick?

Thought we played well in the 2nd half and could easily have had an equaliser. Really like the look of Lewis. Very tricky with great control.

What’s he like controlling a coffee cup?

Hopefully better than me!

Dara keeps on scoring then it's only a matter of time he will be back in the first team .

[BuryClaret]

How is Franchi playing in these U21 games? You’d imagine BPF will get the nod in the cup, but wondering how far off this guy is from the first team level.

I've been thinking the same thing, so any info would be great

[clansman]

Franci quite a way off first team . He is a good kicker the ball though!

We seem to be letting rather a lot of goals in lately.

Has Norris played even 1 minute for any of our teams this season?

I doubt it.

Dara should be on the first team bench .He is a good option to bring on for last 20mins when we are winning against tiring defenders

At the start of the season we were playing Dara on the right wind but he's now playing as an out and out striker. Not sure if that's out of necessity now that Richardson is out on loan or that it's felt that it's his best position?

I saw on Twitter Andy Farrell had asked Dara to stretch the pitch in one recent game.
If he can do that then he is ideal for the first team.

Richardson wasn't being played as an out and out striker in the U21s before going out on loan, that was McGlynn - it was his loan to Oldham with Costelloe dropping out of the senior squad that put him in up front.
