Match Thread Burnley v Leicester

[Longcliffe]

I think it looks a well balanced team. 2-0 City!!

 

[Miles Away]

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

Unsurprising.

 

[Rotherham Fox]

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.

Dyer on the bench so obviously not injured. IMO Schlupps goal against Derby is what Beckford should be producing

Gallagher FFS

Give me strength......

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

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

I wish Beckford felt the same way!

 

[Orifice]

Howard and Nugent should be able to work together and give the Burnley defenders something to think about, as it were.

I hope that Howard and Nugent are able to see a lot of the ball. Anyhow, are we winning yest?

 

[Jeff]

Nugent shot well saved - corner.

 

[Jeff]

Almost an OG. Burnley clear.

 

[Rotherham Fox]

I see were up to 12th thats a good start. Keep it up

 

[glyn]

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.

They probably got their info off Bert

It'd be a shame to see the back of Fernandes, he's a game changer. Much like Muzzy in some respects, an eye for a killer pass and good movement on and off the ball...however, it is foolish to keep a player on the books if he doesn't want to be here and we're hardly tied to Fernandes.

We're sounding alright here.

 

[city-faithful]

Ten minutes in and Young is flirting with the idea of knocking Bamba. I'll give it til 20 minutes before the first criticism.

 

[Matt_B]

Why are people taking one post seriously? He's on the bench, nothing more.

 

[Jeff]

He's on the bench

Who is?

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

We are, but football is an unpredictable game so let's not get ahead of ourselves....

 

[Mawsley]

Who is?

Mr Justice Cooke

 

[Matt_B]

Who is?

Fernandes.

No he's not, I'm sure he was on Stringer's tweet. Never mind.

 

[Jeff]

Route one.

Schmeichel -> Howard flick on -> Nugent shot - over the bar.

 

[spionfox]

Flipping heck that was a mad dash. Just got in, have I missed anything?

 

[Jeff]

Fernandes.

Where did you get that from?


I've seen two versions of the bench.

The OS says this:

St Ledger, Johnson, Beckford, Weale, Schlupp


Other places say this:

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