Match Thread Burnley v Leicester

[Jeff]

Schmeichel, Peltier, Mills, Bamba, Konchesky, Danns, King, Wellens, Gallagher, Howard, Nugent.

YES! Danns! back ... Gally Back AND A START FOR HOWARD!

Up the blues!

 

[Jeff]

The club's official Twitterer posted the team with Abe rather than Gallagher, then a few minutes later posted the one above. I'm assuming the second one is the correct one.

 

[Leigh]

Subs: Weale, St Ledger, Johnson, Schlupp, Beckford

 

[Kingy_85]

Hey Jermaine! How do you like these apples?

Now get your finger out!

 

[Han]

Would expect 4-4-2 with Gallagher and Danns wide midfield.

 

[city-faithful]

Has Fernandes (sp) been overlooked, or is he out through injury/suspension?

 

[Lako42]

And what exactly has Abe done to deserve being dropped from the squad? Is he injured?

 

[M17TT C]

Surprised to see Danns & Gally start but liking the look of that and must admitt that it is good to see Howard get a start as he deserves it. Would have gone for Dyer in for Danns or Gally to have a natural left sided player in that position but still fancy us to bring back 3 points from this!

Come on City!!

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Pretty much what everyone had been calling out for. Good job Stowell. Surprised he's gone for Howard over Schlupp but just glad he's had the sense to drop Beckford. Regardless of the money they cost, it shouldn't guarantee anyone a starting place without merit. Glad Mills is back too personally, it's been a turgid few weeks since he was sent off...

Dyer is injured.

 

[M17TT C]

Ta Prof, thought it strange for him not to be in the squad after featuring on Saturday.

 

[Graz]

Hmm not sure about that personally. I'm guessing it's a 4-4-2, with Danns on the right? Didn't realise Dyer was injured, so fair enough. Not suprised to see Gally come in. I would've gone for Schlupp instead of Howard though and I think we should have Johnson/Fernandes in.

Happy to be wrong though! Come on Leicester!

 

[Scodger Cubs]

Good team, unsure about Howard but it'll do. Glad Danns is back - let's get back to winning ways! Who needs a manager?!

 

[Lako42]

Scrapping for a win and we bring Gally back, I hope to **** he proves me wrong.

Not me. No Johnson? No Abe? Wellens still in the side?

 

[martin peters]

I gather that Fernandes is unhappy that Sven has gone and would expect him to leave very soon

 

[Han]

I don't understand all the schlupp love. The lad has a lot of enthusiasm but not much more than that. Piling a load of pressure on him during a turbulent time at the club could also set him back in his development.

Wouldn't have liked to see Dyer start even if fit as he simply isn't that good.

Abe not being involved is harsh but priority is given to attacking options on the bench.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Gally will be lobbing in the crosses for Howard to power home with his head. Second half, Johnson will be doing something similar with Schlupp.

 

[Han]

I gather that Fernandes is unhappy that Sven has gone and would expect him to leave very soon

He was on the bench for sven's last couple of games too.
