[Tall Paul]

Hountondji for Flemming the only change from last week's team.

[Devils_Advocate]

Pretty much the team Id have gone but Id have played Pires instead of Hountondji to give us some extra creativity

[gtclaret]

Hout in for Flemming,Sambo on bench.Just a small silly question,what has happened to Worrell, supposedly out for 4 weeks and like so many,now nowhere to be seen.

[JohnDearyMe]

Wherefore art thou Mike Tresor?!

[ecc]

Worrall clearly not ready. Simple as that.

[Tricky Trevor]

Not missed Worrall, E-R has been better than good.
Team I expected. I’d start Pires in a home game but Humphries is better defending.
Hoping Anthony and Koleosho can get some feed to Hountondji.

[FCBurnley]

Hountondji Hero or Villain ?

[Hibsclaret]

Don’t know why but I fancy Hountondji to bag today. Fingers crossed.

[fidelcastro]

No Massengo on the bench.

Will he be the latest one to go missing for months on end?

[Barden Lane]

Big opportunity for HOUNTONDJI I'd love him to smash it go on lad

[fidelcastro]

I don't know why you think that either, but I hope you're right!

[fidelcastro]

You know that means "Why is your name Mike Tresor?"

Right?

[Claretitus]

Big opportunity for HOUNTONDJI I'd love him to smash it go on lad

Me too, but just can’t see it. Obviously hope I’m wrong, but to me he doesn’t even move/look like a professional athlete.

[MrTopTier]

Injured in the Under 21’s game midweek.

[IanMcL]

That's two of us at least! Hope we're wrong...

[fidelcastro]

Really?

As if we didn't have enough injuries!

[FCBurnley]

Ladies winning 2-0 in Cup after 15 mins

[hoosier-daddy]

Big opportunity for HOUNTONDJI I'd love him to smash it go on lad

That's the spirit!

[BigChaCha]

So is Massengo injured?... And why on earth do we need 3 fullbacks on the bench?... I'm guessing Sambo is there to cover on the wing as well, as he did early in the pre-season/season which tells you a lot about how good our window was!

[HahaYeah]

Houtondji could be a good un, better than Foster.

The one tiny hope I have for him is that he scored for his country and he talks well in interviews... He seems like a decent bloke... Mind you, that could be said of strikers in the 2nd division!

[fidelcastro]

Would this team of unavailable/unselected players beat this current XI?

Green
Beyer Ekdal Worrall Delcroix
Benson Ramsey Massengo Redmond
Foster Flemming

Burnley's transfer windows have gone from one extreme to another. You cannot do so much business especially right at the end of window. This project/process is not sustainable and doesn't provide stability, then there's the team of injured players.

[Tribesmen]

Afternoon all from a very cloudy overcast Galway , hey still 14c which is great for this time of year .
All set for today , yep dam right i am .

It certainly wouldn't be a one way game. I guess Tresor goes in the third string!

[louieollie]

I don't know how to but it's Hountondji up front.

Makes much more sense to give the lad a decent amount of time rather than a few minutes here & there, hopefully he gets some confidence and rams the negativity back down throats of our loyal fan base 🫣............. absolutely NOTHING like backing the poor sod from a few on here FFS! Or do we put out faith in an old boy who unfortunately seems to be very much on the decline legs wise.

[fidelcastro]

Does he even still play for us?

[Devils_Advocate]

Green

Foster Flemming

No

[fidelcastro]

No

You're right, but only because most of them are injured!

Chris (Aluminium*) Iwolumo punditting in the studio


*Lass who used to sit in front of us couldn't say Iwolumo, and always shouted Aluminium when his name was announced at TM so its stuck with me

[Commy]

It looked like Hountondj was in a good position to burst the net at Hull when Anthony had his miskick at the end, so he must have some idea of where to be in the area.

[kentonclaret]

Chris just stated that “on his day” Hountondji can be unplayable.

Perhaps that day will be today. Here’s hoping.

Appreciate your comment, and agree with what you say re Jay, BUT, I just fail to see what Hountondji offers us. I will be one of the first to hold up my hands if I’m proved wrong, but the fella has “poor signing” written all over him. IMHO.

[Bigvince]

Let’s see what Hountondj can do playing in his right position, before we judge him UTC

If you can determine if soneone is a good signing before they start a game in their actual position, fair play.

[jedi_master]

Houtondji might turn out to be the striker we’ve been begging for - HOU knows!

Worralls broken a bone in his foot.
