Wolves vs Burnley ~ MATCH THREAD - EFL Cup

[Muric Leggings]

We would be getting tonked but for our keeper,most on here praising us but it's another poor showing from us

[BobSykes]

In the circumstances, some promise here but it's going to take urgent attacking reinforcement and time to gel before we can say whether we offer any threat this season.

[claretskeith]

Guys on Burnley Banter Facebook not impressed.

"Hountandjee is National League level at best"

[Goalposts]

Well a lot to be positive in that first half. A decent winger or 2 a striker and we wont be a million miles away - need some pace up top.

Cullen ekdal beyer esteve pires Ramsey to all come back. And the international break ahead. - Scottie will sort it.. he’s played 3 very different formations but seems to be able to assess what’s required from the team.. feeling most optimistic ive done all week

[Commy]

We have been too pedestrian. Need to up the tempo.

[Claretrew]

Some signs of promise from the new lads, and no lack of effort. Much better than I thought.

[ClaretAndJew]

1 shot 0 on target

[Hedontplayforyou]

Wingers short of giving them a game . Hannibal given the chance to get used to some of his team mates before weekend .

Well they'd have to exaggerate to create any interest.

[KRBFC]

People think this is good btw

[Bigvince]

I’m just happy to watch players that want to play

What did you expect, team has been cobbled together and includes 3 strangers

[Newcastleclaret93]

I think given the circumstances against a premier league side,

It’s not bad.

There’s some promise tonight. I think every single poster is aware there’s glaring holes that need filling

[Hapag Lloyd]

Bore off you absolute fcking melt.

[claretskeith]

How many subs can we make? As I can think of 4 straight away.

[Leyland Claret]

I know it’s only a pointless league cup game but some of these players are not even league 2 standard. Sambo and Hountondji are completely out of their depth. Massengo is nowhere to be seen. Brownhill is also hiding. Jay Rod should have been put out to pasture a couple of seasons ago. 1 real positive is Hannibal. He looks pretty decent.

[rosswallacefreekick]

Quite happy with that half - we’ve no threat at all, but considering the circumstances, I think there’s a lot to be positive about against a Wolves side. Hannibal, Humphries and Hladky (Triple H?!) have been stand outs for me.

google the word 'context'

[ISpeds00]

Bore off you absolute fcking melt.

The guys an absolute dick head
I have no idea why he still has an account on that username

[Newcastleclaret93]

McDermott coming on

[ksrclaret]

Spot on.

At least we know the lads out there genuinely want to play for Burnley and they're trying their best after most of the pathetic fannies Kompany brought in have bailed.

[Safron]

Unfortunately at 35 jay doesn't suit this system

[Rileybobs]

Under the circumstances we’ve done ok. Lots of energy and good ball retention. No attacking threat but that was always likely with the players available. Worral and Hannibal look like good acquisitions. It’s clear where we need to strengthen.

[FCBurnley]

Parker looked utterly dejected prior to kick off and I for 1 can’t blame him

[JimmyRobbo]

Good to see the changes.

Got to do something. Not expecting much but can't be any less attacking.

[123EasyasBFC]

Massengo would be a real player if his final decision making was better

[Goalposts]

McDermott coming on

[123EasyasBFC]

He was laughing away with his assistants right before the second half started

[Vegas Claret]

Massengo would be a real player if his final decision making was better

hardly played any football, I hope we keep him

[claretskeith]

Parker happy enough with Hannibal.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Massengo would be a real player if his final decision making was better

A real strange one for me.

Got lots of energy and a bit of bite but seems to be lacking technical ability and decision making.

Think there’s defo a role for him in the squad though

[Tricky Trevor]

HT changes.

Never see a more obvious “two eyes on Saturday” set of subs.

[ksrclaret]

Hopefully Hannibal has been withdrawn with Blackburn in mind and not because he's picked anything up.

[burnley007]

We paid more for Hountondji than we did for Koleosho.

Let that sink in...

[whiffa]

Hopefully Hannibal has been withdrawn with Blackburn in mind and not because he's picked anything up.

Might not have had much match fitness either. It was a good 45minutes from him. Surprised Jay is still on the pitch but that said, we've no other options really.

[Vegas Claret]

Connor Roberts in midfield wasn't on my bingo card

[RVclaret]

Hopefully Hannibal has been withdrawn with Blackburn in mind and not because he's picked anything up.

Hope so, same with Brownhill.

[JimmyRobbo]

hardly played any football, I hope we keep him

Nice touches. A player in there but nothing I've seen would make me think he wil be a game changer. He's a type who will look OK as we win or lose.

[ISpeds00]

Keeping players fresh for Saturday for sure

[Vegas Claret]

We paid more for Hountondji than we did for Koleosho.

Let that sink in...

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt at the moment, he's a striker not a winger - completely different skill set

[boatshed bill]

How many substitutions allowed?

[bfcjg]

Quite sad watching Jay Rod

[HahaYeah]

Jay is not having a great night here.

[willsclarets]

Anyone's stream working? Not got access to Sky and the one's i've tried are a bust

[Newcastleclaret93]

We paid more for Hountondji than we did for Koleosho.

Let that sink in...

Not hard to see why.

Hountondji had 18 goal contributions last season.

Koleosho has two goal contributions in his career

[Cirrus_Minor]

That settles it then

[ElectroClaret]

2-0

[Buxtonclaret]

How many substitutions allowed?

All on now, Bill.
We sold the others at half time.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Missing that pace at the back
