MIGHTY CLARETS v Newcastle Geordies

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 6:21 pm

I have arrived and parked nearby. Floodlights lit in readiness.

Hope for a great night under those lights, with the Clarets nailing the 3 points and improving the goal difference.

Madge is raring to go and calls on us all to do our bit. I think she has been watching 'Come Dancing' in Blackpool!

Come on you Clarets

Good Evening fellow Clarets

Glad you arrived safely Ian.

COME ON BURNLEY.
3PTS under the lights please. Then back up that table, sharpish.

No JBG is a massive blow ffs thought they said he was fit. Wouldn’t have Vokes over Barnes. Nice to see Gibson on bench.

Seen the line up, all I can say is oh ********

I just pray my gut feeling is wrong.

Does anyone know what has happened to McNeil? Something doesn’t seem right.

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 7:04 pm

That'll be Wood off and Vydra on in the 70th minute. Vydra behind Vokes.

Why isn't Vydra starting?

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 7:04 pm

Hart, Lowton, Long, Mee, Taylor
Lennon Defour Cork Brady
Vokes Wood

What significant changes would you make?

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 7:06 pm

Lennon and Vokes in again doesnt fill me with confidence. If JBG is injured then with our lack of options you cant argue with Lennon but need to get Barnes, Vydra or even Hendrick behind Wood

Still a game we should be winning so lets hope Vokes proves me wrong and we get the 3 pts we need

Evening all from a cold and mixed night of showers here in Galway .
Looking forward to this one one hopes i will be shouting at the lap top when we score 4 , well happy with any kind of a win if it is on offer .

northernpowerhouse · Post by **northernpowerhouse** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 7:07 pm

I can't figure out how Vokes is still starting. Wood's our best out and out striker and Vydra and Barnes are both better at linking play. What does Vokes bring? Not much.

Blackrod · Post by **Blackrod** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 7:07 pm

No JBG a blow. Not keen on Wood and Vokes together. Brady starting is good news though.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 7:07 pm

I must be seeing a different lineup to other posters. People were praying that Brady would be fit - he is. People were hoping that Defour was ok and would start - he is. People wanted Wood back in - he is. Gibson is now back, too.

There's no games this season we should be winning.

Leaving home in five mins to watch the game in Benalmadena. Playing Wood and Vokes up front together didn't work at Leicester, so I'm not surprised we're trying it again. Would have liked to have seen JBG and Vydra/Barnes playing, but heyho, let's hope for three points, come on you Clarets!!!

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 7:12 pm

Barnes will come on and win it!

Come on Burnley, prove me wrong, though I think we'll get battered tonight.

Just sucked out the image and posting here, to see I can see it then!

Not my teamsheet Ian - I'd have Vydra starting instead of Vokes!

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 7:29 pm

Who else is relieved to see Gibson on the bench - it means he's fit enough to be included. I was worried about either Long or Mee getting a red card (after reading about Newcastle going the longest time without the opposition getting a red) and then us being without a recognised central defender for the next game...

Nonayforever · Post by **Nonayforever** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 7:52 pm

Come on lads no negativity about the line up.

Dyche will have picked what he thinks is his strongest team to beat Newcastle.

I feel a decent performance is long overdue and will be on show tonight.

Hendrick ahead of Cork for a start. He's having a really poor season, with no sign of it turning around. Hendrick had a really good start to the season and gets dropped. We need to move the ball faster in the middle and that just isn't Jack Corks forte.
I like Lennon , he works his socks off defensively, but Bournemouth apart he's shown nothing going forward.
We look like we are set up to play on the break, at home to Newcastle for crying out loud.
We need to be positive and play on the front foot, and that line up doesn't fill me with confidence.
It has 0-0 written all over it, but with our scoring record this season, if they score first we are screwed.

I just hope I'm wrong.

But he's been doing that all season, and look where we are.
I honestly believe we have a better starting XI, I also think we can play a better style, but to do that you need round pegs in round holes.

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 7:59 pm

Our midfield just isn't working, neither giving the defence adequate cover or creating chances.
Two up front? Smells like hoofball to me. Surely if we intend to play through the middle third we'd have to put 5 in midfield?

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 8:05 pm

Mathew Lowton's 100th game tonight.

They are playing Clark at LB, due to injury, I’ll be upset if Lennon doesn’t lay at least 2 on for us. Otherwise Hendrick for Cork perhaps but SD sees them training every day so he knows. Everyone has a different preference from our 4 strikers and they will all get on.

BFCmaj · Post by **BFCmaj** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 8:17 pm

Delay due to referee’s assessor collapsing in the tunnel. He’s now conscious and on his way to hospital.

As I said, I hope you are right

Well we might have a better chance of getting a result with Lascelles and Shelvey out.

From the Guardian live feed: The players emerge from the tunnel to the rousing sound of Wake Up by Arcade Fire. The Burnley DJ has just gone up in my estimation.
