Surprised Beck is starting. It's a gamble, he looked very raw in the footage I've seen. Harry must be miffed. The defence (and the goalkeeper of course) worries me. There's not a real hard nut among them 

Could be this Derby's Clinton Mola if it goes wrong.

Best of luck blues. That Burnley line up on paper wins every time. 
 

Get into them early and get them rattled

Not sure, if he is then it's a good game to miss. I guess we'll find out alot about Beck today, debuts don't come much tougher than this

Eustace said he's injured.

He came off last time out.

If we keep passing the fucker backwards, and tapping it about amongst our defenders, we'll lose.

[B16Rover]

We could have been afraid and gone with 3 at the back with hedges as a make weight at left wing back.  

Hoping that means Eustace has got them up for it.

They have the cheek to call themselves underdogs on twitter?! Their lineup is outrageous 

They must be desperate - chucking all the new guys in at once.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Tough first game for Beck but I'm assuming he will have experienced playing against Rangers/Celtic. 

Great opportunity to nail down the spot straight away if he has a good un. 

[Norbert Rassragr]

Apparently this game is less important than Raheem Sterling going to Arsenal for the BBC. You have to really look to find the game.

To get in at Turf Moor?

Low turnout for them on such a sunny day. 😏

They’re busy concreting Pendle Hill to cope with demand 🙄

To say that lot were going mad the other day that team they put out is frightening 

It's nowhere near as good as the team they started the transfer window with.

Harry’s probably glad he’s injured. I think I’d have had JRC at left back, this is a big ask for a kid who looks more like a winger than a full back.

So it's two fold.

a) he's a LB and has been signed as one - JRC is not b) I suspect Liverpool would be furious if he's third string LB

They don't scare me. Can't say I've heard of more than 2 or 3.

got to make an impression early today,we are in no way going to outfootball them,make it difficult,squeeze them and hit them on the break

and for all those rovers fans in attendance,don`t forget to decontaminate when you get home🙂

I’m thinking just for this particular game. JRC has played at left back before. Failing that Brittain could play there and JRC at right back.

It is a strong XI but if we play with pride for the shirt and leave it all out there, we have a chance.

Very true but we could have done with Pickering playing..

Andy Murray taking a dump is more important to the Beeb than one of the richest rivalries in the whole of football.

THEIR LOSS!! 🙂

I don't think Pickering is very good - in fact after Pears he's the next biggest problem for us - but each to their own.

Perfect day for a game of football. If we can’t put in a performance today it’ll be a poor do.

eustace coming from the midlands will understand what a derby means,i don`t think jdt did,it was just another game to him
