Burnley (A).. Next up.

[lcfcsnow]

The weather looks bad up there, will suit their lower league style of play

[st albans fox]

They are in a hole. Their form has suddenly dropped off after being the best in the league for a month and a half.  They are desperate for the win and they are capable of being quite a physical side. I would be very pleasantly surprised to see us get anything other than a few knocks. ........

Do we think BR will swap back to 3 back to cope with the physical nature or stay as against Fulham and aim to control the game?

I think three at the back with Maguire probably doing a man marking job on Ashley Barnes. 

 

We all know what Chris (Wood) is capable of but we need to keep Ashley Barnes out of the match. Do that and we have a fighting chance.

I have no idea.

 

I’ll let you know if I form any kind of credible hypothesis prior to 2pm.

But on an aside isn’t it great not knowing rather being assured the same guaranteed depressing shite each week.

I really hate watching games against Burnley, they sit back all the bloody time and kill the flow of the game. I can see this being frustrating for us today. Considering how bad of a season they are having.. be more nerves in the wind for them and will play even more deeply when pre religation form comes into there heads in game.

I will be preparing my pillow for this one.. hopefully im wrong though...

[Collymore]

Very hard to call this one. I'd imagine draw or narrow win for us. 

[Ric Flair]

I think we'll win 3-0

[Happy Fox]

Tough game but very winnable imo.

 

2-0 win for us, Vardy and Barnes on the score sheet.

[lanefox]

3-5-2 according to our best mate sean

Well clearly Rogers hasn’t written off 3 at the back as quickly as some of the posters on here!

[Grebfromgrebland]

If Morgan plays we'll lose.

[RumbleFox]

Was feeling quite good about the game and life in general until I read through this thread. What in shitting crikey is wrong with everyone. Gonna just turn the lights off and think about infinity and death for a bit now. X

You could be right.  I think he has sourced the pictures of Brendan, so he is in today.

Im not too optimistic if its the line up that sean has predicted (of course it will be, Sean is never wrong), but I hope to be proved wrong

 

If we go with that 3 at the back and we look good with it then fair play to Rodgers

[mozartfox]

Has Sean ever been wrong?

[Goober]

didn't like the 3-5-2 at Watford but at least it gives us an extra big b*stard in Wes to deal with their physicality.

I happen to think that hopefully  our  style of keeping it on the ground may be crucial in winning this one.We pass it through them and we score .Need Kasper to have a sensible afternoon no fancy stuff keep it on the floor

Man mark Ashley Barnes ?

[Arriba Los Zorros]

To echo another poster games Vs Burnley are always deathly dull. Can't believe their supporters pay to watch that crap. It's the reason why no other team will pick up Dyche too 

[Mint23]

I’m not Morgan’s biggest fan now that he’s getting in a bit but these are the games that he can still do a job for us. He played well against Burnley at home this season against their big guys so if we do go 3 at the back I’d be happy to have Evans and Morgan marking with Maguire sweeping up behind them 

[reynard]

Weather poor, two sides not in the best of form, one needing a win more than the other. Poor quality match resulting in a Burnley win, probably the obnoxious Barnes to score for them. They will be too physical for us and the weather will even out the skill sets of both teams.

Its a sad day when your main aim is marking Ashley Barnes out of the game... 

[Poznan34]

I've not got a good feeling about today, tipping it down, Burnley fighting for their lives. Will be pleasantly surprised if we win.
