Chris Wood's medical

I think an even bigger debate will be if we go 4 5 1 and play Vokes as a 10, or 4 4 2 with Vokes and Wood up front, who will be sacrificed out of our midfield 5 who are playing so well at the minute?

I'm impressed so far, we look a better side, Dyche is buying players to fit the system which Gray didn't, pace isn't essential in a lone forward role when we are controlling the game more, we need a striker to hold it up and make it stick like the 4 do. If we need pace it will be wide right to whip balls in the box for Wood/Vokes.

I see what your saying re Gray but then look at Ings who was absolutely excellent for our system.. Andone, for example, seems to have more of an Ings about him than Gray.

Yeah the signing of Walters was a waste really, I said so at the time. A strange signing, good player but just doesn't fit anywhere and is taking up a striking spot which could be taken by someone else.

I hope we do stick to 4-5-1 as much as possible but I reckon we will start at least 20% of the games and probably more 4-4-2 this season so having someone with pace and mobility is a real must for me.

Looks very one dimensional, reflected yesterday in the substitutions - added nothing other than lumping it into the box.

Can we have Michael duff doing the interview and get wood to admit it was a push before he scored that cracker for Leicester against us in our promotion season if not get him out the door how did that goal even stand.

Defour probably.

Another interesting question. Would Dyche fancy Defour in a 4-4-2? He's been our best player in both games and looks bang on it so he surely can't be dropped to the bench.

Agree with this in that its an Ings like player more than a Gray like player I think we need and would fit in perfectly instead of one of Barnes or Walters

But Dyche teams are pretty one dimensional in attack.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sun Aug 20, 2017 2:32 pm

Agreed.

Superb goal though. That was the game when Sam got injured and we already had Ings, Trippier and Marney out (as I recall?). Barnes on his own up top with Edgar in midfield!

"But Dyche teams are pretty one dimensional in attack."

Nope.

2013 -14 was some of the best attacking fluent football I've ever seen Burnley play.

Dyche plays to the strengths of the players he has available to him in accordance to the level we are playing at.

Twitter reports coming through that his arms, neck, lower jaw and left foot have currently passed medical inspection.

Awaiting reports from the rest of his body and confirmation of the groin area.

summitclaret · Post by **summitclaret** » Sun Aug 20, 2017 2:59 pm

In a 4411 vokesy would probably play behind wood. I would play hendrick wide right instead of jbg. The former can play the boyd role thus giving Lowton a bit more freedom to get forward to cross to wood and vokesy.

I was positive about Yesterdays game despite the loss, please don't try and turn it into a negative and cause an argument because I have no interest in that. If you want my thoughts on the game, read my latest posts.

It was merely a question.
Hands are up, I haven't seen your post match comments, so my comment was in ignorance of yours.

I just based by question on what I saw yesterday.

Go on then I'll play...

Arfield? Screamer
Shakell- great head
Vokes at the Turf - strikers goal - you better hope he doesn't play on Wednsday

Only goas of yours I remember are Rhodes...
Scruffy deflection and miss hit.

Jog on until Thursday.

Would be bordering on insanity to drop Defour the way he is playing. Has been outstanding, clearly no issues with his fitness now, motivation is not a problem and look how he went for it yesterday we went behind - was great to see.

Should do well for us then as we don't score many from outside the box and a couple of his headers would have done nicely yday instead of Sam's misheader and Mee's miss
