Get Banel on and we would.

We are far too deep.

When were we up top? Must have missed that!

It would push them back though.

Banel Tresor and Barnes to fix this

Very close from Edwards. Good play with Hannibal

I believe that will be the formation for the League all season, no reason to change it for cup games.

If these lads (hopefully not too many at once) are going to be the ones to step in to cover injuries/bans, it makes sense to practice that set up.

Enola Gay · Post by **Enola Gay** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:02 pm

Hopefully Parker has told this lot that if they don't turn this round the next time they step onto that pitch will (maybe) be in January for the FA Cup third round, because Hannibal and Ugochukwu aside it's only an injury to a first-teamer that'll see them breathe Premier League air this season.

Can Chris Iwelumo come off the coms and lace his boots up?

Conroy92 · Post by **Conroy92** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:02 pm

We havnt played 5 at the back in the last few games weeks. It's been much more like a 4-5-1

SonofPog · Post by **SonofPog** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:02 pm

We've been playing 442 / 4411 since the second goal. Since then Broja has looked better.

Agree we need to go long to break the high press. But we've got a CB at lb, a lb at Left wing and Edwards who's playing very narrow.

Flemming scores!!!! Come on!!!

Get in Flemming

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:03 pm

That was a cracking composed finish from Flemming.

Enola Gay · Post by **Enola Gay** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:04 pm

Finally, some competence.

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:04 pm

Back in the game following a mistake by them

Good finish by Zian

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:04 pm

Great finish

HahaYeah · Post by **HahaYeah** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:04 pm

Bit of quality, we've got this now...

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:04 pm

Fair finish that.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:04 pm

A gift from their keeper, however, super strike from Flemming

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:05 pm

Very impressive from Flemming. Brilliant goal.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:05 pm

FK us

bfcmik · Post by **bfcmik** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:07 pm

u21s have won at Cardiff. 2-1 with Veevers and Ryan getting our goals.

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:08 pm

Definitely an uptick in tempo this half, though it couldn’t have got worse. Helped by 2 shocking clearances given to Edwards by Cardiff, probably the worst player they could have given it too from their perspective as he just runs at the defence.

TonbridgeClaret · Post by **TonbridgeClaret** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:08 pm

Arrendance 6,010

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:10 pm

I would like to see Flemming and Foster given a chance together in the PL, it might give us more bite up front.

Casper2 · Post by **Casper2** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:10 pm

Penalty surely

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:10 pm

That should have been a penalty fir us!

HahaYeah · Post by **HahaYeah** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:10 pm

Nice skill from Edwards - get him on the ball!

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:10 pm

Hannibal is finding some brilliant forward passes this half.

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:11 pm

No pen for me, Edward’s lost his balance and played for a pen

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:11 pm

Not sure what Hannibal is complaining about. He threw the guy.

Burnley Ace · Post by **Burnley Ace** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:12 pm

It might have been “soft” but didn’t the defender have a handful of his shirt?

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:12 pm

Hopelessly clumsy from Hannibal. FK them edge of box

HahaYeah · Post by **HahaYeah** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:12 pm

Hannibal wtf are you doing?

He was beat. Surprised he escaped a booking, but smart foul.

CalamityClaret · Post by **CalamityClaret** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:13 pm

We're not trying to win this game or so it would appear. The amount of space they have all over the pitch is just odd

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:15 pm

Hannibal is chalk and cheese. Brilliant and liability all in one.

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:15 pm

Ugo replaced by Banel.

Enola Gay · Post by **Enola Gay** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:15 pm

Cardiff have clearly realised that getting Hannibal wound up/sent off might be a good idea.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:16 pm

Humphreys has gone center mid with Pires at LB

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:17 pm

Mike, get ready to come on and assist 2 goals yeah. I'll give you 11 minutes this time.

rosswallacefreekick · Post by **rosswallacefreekick** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:17 pm

Hannibal and Edwards vs Cardiff City

scouseclaret · Post by **scouseclaret** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:17 pm

Broja is useless.

Holmechapel · Post by **Holmechapel** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:18 pm

If they all put Hannibal’s effort in we’d be well in front .

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:18 pm

They make us look fallible

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:18 pm

Broja shoots but not a cat in hell's chance of scoring
