v Burnley (h) - 4/1/2025

[Mattyblue]

They randomly never put the front row of the Blackburn End Upper on sale either, so what’s that another 150/200 seats?

Best to be on the safe side though, as otherwise you may have seen mass chucking of decanted Fosters into the bottom tier or something.

They've just resigned Ashley Barnes. 

We all know what's happening now, don't we?

Really difficult to select an attack.

REALLY?

Gueye throws him in the net.

The back 7 picks itself. The front 4 is really difficult due to the lack of quality.

Just after Batth has twatted him.

Tronstad snaps him in half?

Possibility of snow forecast for Saturday afternoon could make things interesting.

Someone makes themselves an Ewood Park legend if they snap his leg.

Bad feeling about Barnes, maybe time to sign Dunn, Pedersen and Di Santo

And Martin Olsson. Although he’s still playing for Malmo so probably would actually  be better cover at left back than what we currently have if Beck got injured.

Weird signing

Not expected until late afternoon, (at the moment).

At least they are being proactive.

Not really. Why change the 3 behind the striker when it will be similar type of game. I would pick Harry Leonard to start with Gueye off the bench.

I'm not looking forward to this. With a full strength side I'd fancy us giving them a game but now we're another couple of players down it seems everything's against us. We should have brought a striker in when the window opened.

If Eustace can pull a result out of the bag with the bunch we're left with, it will be a superhuman effort.

I just can't see who scores the goals against the best defence in the top four leagues.

But i think Parker has brought him In to curry favour with the fans because he's under pressure

We are at home so to try and actually offer some sort of attacking threat. As difficult as it is with the current set of attackers.

Weird reactions by some of their fans who have reacted like they've just signed Salah, much to the bemusement of their more able minded cousins.

We wernt sit like we was that day, he had no effect last time at ewood, he’s a big useless lump hence why Norwich have got rid, it’s like when we brought Santa Cruz back just nostalgia for them to boost fan morale perhaps and offer something other than the primma donnas they have nowadays. We’ve played him when playing Norwich since he left Burnley and he was wank so I doubt anything changes here bar desperation

Use the tactics that made sure we win. That's all that matters. It's can be the most boring game as long as we beat those dingles.

Talking to a few Burnley supporting mates tonight.. They think it's genius move. Talk about being hoodwinked. 

Is he likely to feature? 

If he does I hope he gets what he deserves. 

[Ossydave]

Barnes has started 1 game all season and had a few fleeting substitute appearances, if we can't handle him we may as well give it up as a bad job....

Just looks like a Pace signing to try and get them onside, the brain dead will lap it up.

We had a more or less full squad to pick from then.

No Ohashi or Cantwell in the line up then either and we played with 10 men from 57 minutes, still got a result.

Stop peddling this negativity.

Best chance to beat these c***s in years! COYB

Time to restore the Pride of Lancashire back to its rightful place 🌹 

[DuffsLeftPeg]

Also this would be my team

               Pears
Brittain Hyam Batth Beck

        Tronstad Baker

     JRC   Dolan   Hedges

               Gueye

Keep it solid as usual with an experienced starting line up and the extra legs of JRC down the right. ACD, Leonard and Wiemann as decent options off the bench later on.

Mate I'll take a dive for a penalty to beat those dirty scummers
