Re: Mighty Clarets versus Mancy City

Just arrived in Burnley. Easy drive up. Makes a change!
Rained all the way.

Big day for our heroes and Mancy are quaking in their boots.

Madge is on her way to fire us all to 3 points. HolyCustard opened his cupboard to do some dusting and out she popped.

Up the Clarets

Bit of controversy around what she was doing in Custard's closet - seems she has come out of it now

Brilliant team. Only mistake Bardsley...

I like it

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 11:34 am

I'm pleased that Lennon starts. And Barnes seemingly dropping back when we don't have the ball adds a more physical presence which City won't like. We also have Vokes in who we know can score if he gets the service onto his head.

It's a nice balanced starting 11.

Shame Westwood dropped after one game. Feel he's justified a run in the team.

HiroshimaClaret · Post by **HiroshimaClaret** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 11:36 am

I`ll settle for that. Seems a good balance. COME ON BURNLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lowton must be playing awful in training...

dermotdermot · Post by **dermotdermot** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 11:38 am

City only have six subs. Is there a reason for this? Surely they can fill their bench.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 11:44 am

It's the team I picked on here yesterday, apart from Lowton for Bardsley. Happy with the team selection, let's hope we get a result. Setting off for my Spanish local sports bar to watch it. Come on you Clarets!!

Nice to see captain Tom Heaton on sky as pundit. At least I can understand what he is saying.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 11:53 am

Lowton unlucky.

Would have liked Lennon through the middle.

Madge changed and ready for action

Come on you Clarets

Good afternoon everyone. Hope you're all well. Game on TV. Beer in hand. All is well.

I'm winning the PL predictions league I have with a mate and I predicted a 1-0 Burnley win today. So there you go!

I wonder how many pens we'll give away today? I wonder how many blatant pens we'll be denied? Time will tell!

Afternoon everyone, I've had a dry January so it's the mighty clarets to start followed by rugby, with plenty of liquid refreshment.UTC

Indeed Lowton hasn't even been brought on later in the game when Bardsley has been getting turned over.

Greetings from a sunny, though freezing point North Carolina. Very brave in a 442, well ok dodgy 4411 Mr Dyche. S**t or bust. Nothing to lose, well apart from the game....

Got my coffee, ready to go.....

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 12:30 pm

Lowton may have a slight knock and so will be only risked from the bench if needs be. Or perhaps he's not quite match fit due to the injury that kept him out.

Yes, he was left far too much space there. It's a tough task though - any small mistake gets punished.
