Chelsea versus MIGHTY CLARETS

[Goody1975]

Hamstring I think and the time he's had out with it is normal.

100% correct.

A grade one hamstring strain will usually take two or three weeks, it can be less or more but the norm is two or three weeks.

Taylor has had a recurrence of the injury and i wouldn't be surprised if the medical team give him another week to make sure he's completely over it.

[Gordaleman]

Using Vydra’s selection to have a moan about him being dropped for the next game. Get a grip.

I'll repeat my point. I'd rather watch football than lump and hope.

I also think we'd win more games.

[mill hill claret]

Vydra gets his chance ...up to him to take it UTC

[Gordaleman]

Vydra gets his chance ...up to him to take it UTC

Nice easy game for him eh?

[Leisure]

Vydra and Jay for me, unless Barny is fit.

Let's play some proper football.

Please enlighten me as to just what 'proper football' is?

[Bigvince]

Nice easy game for him eh?

Should be! After all he is the Messiah!

[box_of_frogs]

So drop the goal scorer from last game?

Yes I would.

[Goody1975]

End of December

First injury 29th December (Sheffield United), recurrence on 21st January (Liverpool).

[DCWat]

Great to see Cork starting a game.

A difficult opportunity for Vydra, against strong opposition, but hopefully he can shine.

[Hibsclaret]

Shame Brady is fit

Anybody saying it is a shame one of our players is fit.....frankly it’s a shame they have the ability to use a computer and clog up the website

[box_of_frogs]

Why on earth would you not want Wood in the side after last Wednesday?

Vydra and JRod offer so much more.

[DomBFC1882]

Come on Vyds prove the doubters wrong

[joey13]

Vydra and JRod offer so much more.

Yep drop your top scorer

[Rileybobs]

Nice easy game for him eh?

We’re playing 10th in the league. What are you wittering on about?

[box_of_frogs]

Yep drop your top scorer

Not hard to be the top scorer at the moment.

[Gordaleman]

Please enlighten me as to just what 'proper football' is?

The sort of football that doesn't put other fans to sleep and has us last on MOD most weeks.

[Leisure]

Yes I would.

He's unlikely to get his form back sat on the bench!

[ClaretTony]

Vydra and JRod offer so much more.

Do they really?

I like Jay Rod but he wasn't good against Villa and no surprise he's been left out. Vydra did really well when he came on, no doubting that, but to suggest Vydra & Jay Rod ahead of Wood, sorry but I can't get my head round that at all.

Correct. Shameful thing to say.

[Mala591]

Shame Brady is fit after his last none performance. I much prefer Gudders.

Neither Brady or Gudmundsson are playing well in the right midfield position. Brady is obviously a talented footballer but doesn’t seem to be able to use the ball creatively or consistently. I really like JBG but his fitness and confidence are low and we can’t depend on him to definitely improve back to his previous form.

This is why an attacking right sided midfield player needs to be our first priority signing either in the next two days or in summer.

[Leisure]

The sort of football that doesn't put people to sleep and has us last on MOD most weeks.

You need to give me a bit more info than that! Why are you bothered if we're last on on MOD? Maybe you mean like Chelsea on Wednesday, who had 898 passes but didn't score! We had 290 and scored 3.

[ClaretTony]

The sort of football that doesn't put other fans to sleep and has us last on MOD most weeks.

1. it doesn't put me to sleep
2. I don't give a damn whether we come first, second or last on MOTD most weeks.

[Gordaleman]

I'd obviously be wasting my time. You have your opinions, I have mine. That's what BBs are about isn't it?

[boatshed bill]

Brady...again??
Ffs

I thought his passing was woeful last game.
Still, let's hope he does better today, it's nip and tuck between him and JBG.

[Bosscat]

Should be! After all he is the Messiah!

He is not the Messiah... He is a very naughty boy

[Gordaleman]

1. it doesn't put me to sleep
2. I don't give a damn whether we come first, second or last on MOTD most weeks.

I did say 'Other fans', meaning none Burnley supporters.

[jedi_master]

Vydra hasn’t been as successful in my eyes as a starter, but even I as a bit of a doubter over his credentials for this league has to say he has earned the start. Rodriguez was poor against Villa and Vydra was bright when he came on. Good luck to him.

[Gordaleman]

Neither Brady or Gudmundsson are playing well in the right midfield position. Brady is obviously a talented footballer but doesn’t seem to be able to use the ball creatively or consistently.

Not sure why people think he is creative. He messes up nearly every free kick he takes, when we have better, and he spends most of every game losing the ball.

[Grumps]

Who gives a toss what they think??

If MOTD are deciding what good football is - then the end is in sight

[Gordaleman]

Who gives a toss what they think??

As Alan Pace said: I'd like us to be everyone's elses favorite underdog. At the moment, most fans of other clubs want us relegated.

[Longsidebogs]

Shame Brady is fit after his last none performance. I much prefer Gudders.

I agree completely.

[Leisure]

You have your opinions, I have mine. That's what BBs are about isn't it?

Correct but maybe you should be watching more attractive, footballing teams like Sheffield Utd, Fulham or West Brom!

[BenWickes]

I'm convinced Robbie Brady ran over Gordaleman's cat. Brady could score a hat trick today and he'd still swear he had a bad game.

[Grumps]

As Alan Pace said: I'd like us to be everyone's elses favorite underdog. At the moment, most fans of other clubs want us relegated.

I guess there are more want us to win today, than those who want Chelsea to win, same against Liverpool

[Leisure]

At the moment, most fans of other clubs want us relegated.

That's not my experience! They mainly say that after we've beaten them!

[Tribesmen]

I'm convinced Robbie Brady ran over Gordaleman's cat. Brady could score a hat trick today and he'd still swear he had a bad game.

Just have a feeling Robbie will score today

[Gordaleman]

Correct but maybe you should be watching more attractive, footballing teams like Sheffield Utd, Fulham or West Brom!

Why would I do that when I was born in Burnley? I'm not the sort of fan that doesn't support my home town team.

A Claret for 69 years and counting and I'm not about to change. I just want to see us play a bit more attractive football.

[icu81b4]

Good day everyone from the Coconut Coast, it was freezing on the beach this morning.

Lets get behind the lads for another battle with the money bags teams

UTC

[Top Claret]

Taylor fit or not, you couldn't drop Pieters after that performance against Villa

[Gordaleman]

I'm convinced Robbie Brady ran over Gordaleman's cat. Brady could score a hat trick today and he'd still swear he had a bad game.

Don't like cats, but I'm more likely to adopt a dozen than Brady is to score three.

[dermotdermot]

BBs?

Everyone wants us to play more attractive football but not at the expense of our Premier league status.

You can't have everything off beer money, you just have to be grateful on what you have

[taio]

Don't like cats, but I'm more likely to adopt a dozen than Brady is to score three.

Disappointing that any supporter just minutes before kick off can't get behind the team and players.

[Bordeauxclaret]

End of December

He played at Anfield.

[Gordaleman]

You can't be talking about me. I'm very much behind the team today and if Wood and Brady play well, I'll be delighted.

[taio]

He played at Anfield.

Yes but I thought it was a recurrence of the hamstring injury. Might be wrong though.

[box_of_frogs]

What’s up with Brownhill? Got a knock?

[taio]

You can't be talking about me. I'm very much behind the team today and if Wood and Brady play well, I'll be delighted.

I was referring to you specifically.
