Mighty Clarets versus Pot City

Some good but overall a bit sloppy, or should that be slippy?
Pity about Wardy but looking at the table this is a good opportunity for Chas.

We now have none of last season's back 5.

Someone spiked the lucozade pre match, sure of it. They look like they're on acid or something. Oranges all round at ht.

I guess it shows what great business has been done over the past few windows: Tarks - performing as reliably as Michael Keane; Nick Pope, again, as reliable as Tom Heaton; Phil Bardsley done well replacing Matt Lowton; Charles Taylor's opportunity tonight.

And, I'm pleased that we've kept Kevin Long in the squad.

But, let's get Ben Mee back on Saturday.

UTC

Let's have a great second half.

only even because we didn't do any of the basics right in the first half - Dyche will sort them out

After the weekend and the train incident Stoke were always going to come out strong - we just had to absorb it, for all their endeavour and some decent approach play (Zouma played an incredible cross field ball) their opportunities have been poor.

Yes our passing has been below par but we were definitely taking charge and they look nervous with our speedy counter. Can see us going 442 at 65 if still level

Well that was poor from us i have to say , look 45 minutes still to go just need to get a goal

If our defence can continue to keep them out I feel we can sneak this

Come on Burnley

I think you are right Dpinsussex. It's in the air and Cork did not take advantage 1st half.

not long now before Ash Barnes is on, he will get among them and upset them

I can see a West Ham finish tonight. With Wood, Barnes and Vokes on but we will score.

dpinsussex · Post by **dpinsussex** » Tue Dec 12, 2017 8:59 pm

Vokes and barnes to come on would be my choice. Watch wood score now lol

icu81b4 · Post by **icu81b4** » Tue Dec 12, 2017 9:00 pm

The Russian commentator I'm listening to is confusing the hell out of me.... Still, forces me to concentrate on who has actually got the ball.

I said on Saturday and on plenty of other occasions this season that Wood needs to watch how Barnes plays. For someone as big a lad as Wood is he isn't anywhere near aggressive enough.

Id swap him for Barnes and I guarantee we get a lot more joy, the ref gives free kicks for pushes more often than not and Shawrcoss does it pretty much every time

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Tue Dec 12, 2017 9:01 pm

Free Kick Burnley
