Villa v Burnley match thread

[TonbridgeClaret]

Thought I'd get us started. Come on Burnley!

[FCBurnley]

Hoping we get an early boost with the team news

[Conroy92]

Team news out soon. Come on Burnley!

[IanMcL]

I have arrived and parked ok. Lots of folk milling around at 6.30 and all the close parking spaces already gone. Lots of residents parking, up for sale!

Managed to find a decent space. Not sure about getting away at the end!

[KRBFC]

[Guller Bull]

Tarkowski in

Hope by the final whistle, you don’t care how long it takes to get away. UTC

Come on you Burnley Tarks is back

[evensteadiereddie]

Not a bad line up, tbh. We could do this.

[johnnyjones]

Back 5 by the looks of that

[Murger]

Ings on the bench.

[Roosterbooster]

3 at the back. Wing backs. Getting forward to cross it to the big man...

Oh. Barnes again

[IanMcL]

Tarkowski in 3 centre back line up with a couple of Irish lads!

[FCBurnley]

No Ings is a huge boost for us. That’s 1 goal less

[mkmel]

Come on UUUUUUUUU Clarets!

[tarkys_ears]

3 at the back. Wing backs. Getting forward to cross it to the big man...

Oh. Barnes again

He was our closest to an equaliser last week

[Conroy92]

3 at the back. Wing backs. Getting forward to cross it to the big man...

Oh. Barnes again

Barnes could have a very important moment for us yet.

[tiger76]

Well that should put paid to the nonsense being spouted that JT isn't committed to the cause.

Glad we're persisting with the 5-3-2, it worked pretty well at Spurs, so why not continue it.

[RVclaret]

Barnes the hero today

[Milltown1882]

3 at the back. Wing backs. Getting forward to cross it to the big man...

Oh. Barnes again

The big man’s 6’ 6 and can’t head a ball.

[taio]

Were you not one of a very small minority who wanted him dropped?

[Milltown1882]

Come on the Burnley!!!!!!

[TheOriginalLongsider]

Come on !!!

[Stayingup]

I'm confident that we'll win this.

Get Collins in the side ASAP once he's available. Tarks just isn't interested anymore.

[ClaretAL]

I'm confident that we'll win this.

I hope your right mate, this is killing me

[tiger76]

Were you not one of a very small minority who wanted him dropped?

At the time yes he was out of form, and nobody should be an automatic selection, however since that shambles at Leeds he's been probably our most reliable player, and he will be a big miss next season, however the way that Collins has seamlessly slotted into the side means he won't be missed as much as we might have imagined, still a big boost to have him back for the final 2 crunch games though.

[Zlatan]

Don’t get the Barnes hate before a game (or after it for that matter). He’s playing for us, support him please

[FCBurnley]

We just need at least a point. A loss puts Leeds in the driving seat. 4 points guarantees survival. 2 tough games though. Villa have a strong team out

Unsworth hoping we stay up, along with Everton

[jedi_master]

Can’t believe Tarky is in - Amazing news, potentially life saving.

[ClaretAL]

Made your point mate, let's leave it now we need to be together now in football and tiger has stuff going on that noone would want so let's be together tonight and get behind the lads COYC UTC NNN

[Joe14]

Come on you Clarets

[redcloud203]

all the very best Burnley - good luck guys

[Milltown1882]

When was that post though? Tarks had about two months where he was on and off absolute s**t. Not the night at all to be calling out individual posters. COYC together.

[Elizabeth]

Barnes the hero today

I’d love that to be the case but more chance of Stephens being the hero .
We can only hope Barnes has his first really good game for what seems a couple of years

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Am very pleased with the line up and formation, hopefully Roberts and Taylor can bomb on and get crosses in, like the 5 man defence because it reinforces our chance not to concede.

COME ON SUPER BURNLEY

[jedi_master]

Barnes was decent at Watford, and against Spurs at the weekend. He has been playing better recently.

[Roosterbooster]

Don’t get the Barnes hate before a game (or after it for that matter). He’s playing for us, support him please

I'll support the team. But I can't support Barnes, or Stephens for that matter

[Tribesmen]

Good evening from what is a mixed day of sunshine and rain here in Galway .#
Now very relaxed all day but just did a bit of packing for our trip over to Burnley for Sundays game .
God i am now in bits .

[Guller Bull]

I’m sure the bloody clock is going backwards!

[bodge]

As long as your cock isn't going backwards, it's all good !!

[Bigvince]

Ashley Barnes cares about Burnley, and it shows with the effort he puts in, I’m glad he’s back fit, and hope he proves some supporters wrong with a match winning performance!

[Elizabeth]

Barnes will get my 100% support however there is little or no chance of him scoring tonight

[willsclarets]

Hopefully Villa are on the beach and expect to steamroll us. If they're not on their game and we're sharp we cdan get something. A draw would be fantastic, any way in which it's in our hands final day will do me.

[Bigvince]

Barnes will get my 100% support however there is little or no chance of him scoring tonight

I see what you did there, if he doesn’t score you’ll be right, if he does you probably won’t care that you’re wrong!

[FCBurnley]

Guess if Tarks is not 100% it’s worth the risk. Worst case if he breaks down we bring Lowton on and revert to the system at Spurs. It’s time to put our chips on the table Gallagher on bench for Palace !!

[Rileybobs]

Can’t wait for the full time whistle.
