yorkie1999 Posted 27 March 2014 Posted 27 March 2014 I know it's late and I wasn't going to bother going because it's on the box and I've just driven up to Blackburn but I've just had a spur of the moment brainwave. Are there any tickets left for this, before I start ringing round.
nlukka Posted 27 March 2014 Posted 27 March 2014 Very excited for this now. Had the most painful week at work and it's not even over yet! 4hr trek to Burnley on Saturday morning but I know it will be completely worth it; my money is on Nugent and Knocky to get our goals, 2-1 city win. Think Marney might be the biggestloss for them out of the trio of him, Ings and Trippier, although it wouldn't surprise me if one or more of them miraculously became fit come Saturday lunchtime! I know it's late and I wasn't going to bother going because it's on the box and I've just driven up to Blackburn but I've just had a spur of the moment brainwave. Are there any tickets left for this, before I start ringing round. Yes. You can buy on the gate as well, 500 available on the day.

Daveaway Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 need to win this keep a nice points gap, plus I am at a wedding Saturday full of Burnley fans
harpendenfox Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 Setting off from Hertfordshire at 2 with my mate for a night in Manchester before crossing to Burnley in the morning. Excited, anxious and proud to be a Fox.
lancyclaret Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 Being without Trippier, Ings and Marney is like Leicester being without De Laet, Drinkwater and Vardy. Bad for Burnley but good for Foxes. For the neutral, shame both sides will not be at full-strength like they were for the 1-1 draw at your place.
RowlattsFox Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 I still think one of, if not both, ings and trippier will play. I did have a good feeling about this but closer we get to Saturday the less confident I become.
kingcarr21 Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 I just hope the referee has a good game. The ref vs Yeovil was woeful. Dont want bad decisions being made at what arguably could be the game of the season if both teams go for it. Im confident we can get the result and will be disappointed if we lose but at the end of the day Burnley have been brilliant this season especially at home. Aslong as we play our own game we will create chances. Im predicting we will go back to winning 2-1 again with us going 2-0 up and Burnley getting a goal back via a penalty in the 76th minute making it a nervy ending for us but we will hang on. Vardy 1st goal after 12 mins Nugent 2nd goal after 19 mins Vokes penalty after 76 mins Right im off to the bookies

You will still give us a good game buddy, I think with home advantage you will get at least a draw in all honestyAlthough I obviously hope Leicester win
DB11 Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 Is Burnley one of the teams Nugent likes scoring against? Hope so
foxfanazer Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 Should have beaten these comfortably last time but showed them far too much respect imo. They are a very good side but on our day I think we are better. Should be a very nervy but good game
harpendenfox Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 Might favour us not being rampant favourites for a match for a change. Whilst there may have been a 'we should win this' feeling to many previous games (most of which we did indeed win, of course), this is more like we will have to be at our best to win this one. Rather like when we played Derby, say.
Lasty Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 I fancy us to extend the unbeaten run, maybe even edge it. Need to take the chances we create, mind.
yorkie1999 Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 Yes, 100 at the ticket office and 500 on the gate Cheers, got em
kingcarr21 Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 Burnley v Leicester: Expect fight to finish as Championship top two square off Sam Vokes' strength and Riyad Mahrez's speed and skill could prove crucial By Peter Beagrie | Last Updated: 28/03/14 9:37am 3 Vokes: the Burnley hotshot has grown under Dyche, says Beags It's the footballing equivalent of High Noon on Saturday and the shootout between the Championship's top two will be all guns blazing. Both Leicester and Burnley have been the model of consistency this season, with minor adjustments as opposed to major surgery seeing camaraderie, spirit and belief grow - and 13 and 10-point advantages respectively develop over third-placed QPR. Burnley can knock Leicester off top spot with a win by two goals or more, which is incredible considering the Foxes have gone 18 games unbeaten, winning 13 of those, albeit neither of the last two against Blackburn and Yeovil. Four of the leaders' five defeats have come away from home, with this stellar run coming off the back of successive losses on the road to Sheffield Wednesday and Brighton in early December. Burnley were Leicester's next opponents - they got a hard-fought 1-1- draw - and that led to them winning nine on the spin, including victories over top-six rivals QPR, Reading and Derby before Watford got a point at the King Power. Sean Dyche, meanwhile, has done a remarkable job at Burnley. Harshly treated at Watford, he is not bitter and has strengthened his resolve, with the Clarets benefitting from his pragmatic, organised and philosophical approach. v FL72 Live Burnley vs LeicesterMarch 29, 2014, 12:00pm Sky Sports 1 HD Remote Record Get a Sky Sports Day Pass Upgrade to Sky Sports Sean trusts his players and his players trust him, with Burnley a team in every sense of the word, and, much like Leicester, having important partnerships all over the pitch. Danny Ings and Sam Vokes, like David Nugent and Jamie Vardy, grab the goals and headlines but David Jones and Dean Marney (midfield) and Michael Duff and Jason Shackell (defence) have been vital. Burnley's squad, unlike Leicester's, looked wafer-thin at times so the January arrival of Ashley Barnes was paramount and has helped them cope with temporary loss of Ings, as the last couple of games can testify. Chris Baird has been an able deputy for Mr Assist Kieran Trippier - who along with Leicester's Ritchie De Laet is one of the best attacking full-backs in the Championship - while Junior Stanislas and Keith Treacy offer creativity and width in the final third, from the start or off the bench. Leicester's three-point advantage, game in hand and superior goal difference makes them favourites to win the title, but Burnley, still unbeaten at home this term, can be proud of their achievements so far. Dyche will make sure they do no rest on their laurels and with four of the top eight to play in the final seven games, the season will not get any easier. Here are some of the players I expect to play starring roles on Saturday, regardless of the outcome... BURNLEYSam Vokes An equal not a sidekick on the deadly 46-goal partnership with Ings, Vokes has fulfilled the potential and promise of his youth under Dyche's tutelage. He is fitter and more mobile than previous years and benefitted from playing week in, week out, becoming a focal point and target man and scoring all kinds of goals, as well as being a tower of strength defensively. Scott Arfield Arfield has occupied a wide berth for most of the season and not his preferred central position, but he has got his name on the scoresheet seven times. He has made big contributions in big games and Burnley are still unbeaten in matches in which he has netted. Arfield has forged a brilliant understanding with Trippier, drifting in off the line and then supplying the overlapping full-back. A virtual ever-present, Scott is a vital cog in this well-oiled machine. Jason Shackell The big man alongside Duff has been in imperious form this season. A natural leader and communicator, his size means he is rarely anything other than dominant in the air and he has helped ensure the Clarets, alongside Brighton, have the meanest defence in the division. LEICESTERKasper Schmeichel The Great Dane has produced some great saves, specialising, like his father, in one-on-one situations. Unbelievably confident and assured, he has almost certainly had more assists than any other 'keeper due to his vision and accurate distribution, with Nugent and Vardy immediately on the move once the ball is in his possession. Riyad Mahrez The 22-year-old French-Algerian is an exciting new addition and definitely Premier League material. Quick and mobile with great quality, he is enjoying an extended run in the side and Burnley will do well to close him down early so he doesn't get a sight of goal. Mahrez possesses a wonderful left foot and is every bit as skilful as Anthony Knockaert but with Lloyd Dyer's pace. It's a deadly mix. Jamie Vardy The £1million signing from Fleetwood has outscored his brilliant partner Nugent in recent matches and his tally of 16 goals includes nine in his last 13 matches. Vardy's thirst for work and elusive movement matches that of the more experienced Nugent and after taking a season to settle and believe he belongs at this level, he will test Burnley's centre-backs to the limit and exploit any space given to him. With bundles of energy, a Non-League mentality and added polish, he is a potential match-winner. Should be a cracking game cant wait for this
Lasty Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 I would rather listen to a piece of soiled bog paper than Peter Beagrie. It would know more about football too.
lgfualol Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 Please have a good game Nugent and Mahrez, we need you to have a good game. This also applies to the rest of the team, but not as much for me.
Babylon Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 Please have a good game Nugent and Mahrez, we need you to have a good game. This also applies to the rest of the team, but not as much for me. More concerned about Vardy bringing his shooting books... if that last had finished his piss easy chances the last two games we'd have won both. I have confidence he can.
kingcarr21 Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 More concerned about Vardy bringing his shooting books... if that last had finished his piss easy chances the last two games we'd have won both. I have confidence he can.
daddylonglegs Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 Honestly with the amount of panic on here you would have thought we were going into this game 18 games without a win rather than the total opposite. It's previously been said but it's not just our form that is on our side, other stats show that on paper we should be fine. We're good at 12:15's, when we've played good teams in the league (minus Brighton) we tend to come out on top. We have a fully fit squad to choose from, Burnley have arguably their two most influential players out. Everyone needs to remain positive and believe we can do this. I predict a 2-1 win. COYB

maynefox Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 KasperMooreWasMorgenSchluppKnockhaertDrinkwaterJamesDyerNugentVardy 4-4-2 formation, simpless. Moore in for RDL as I believe he is better defensively and Dyer for Mahrez, posses more of an attacking threat.I honestly can't call what the score will be I can see us winning/drawing and losing. 'Eagerly Anticipating' 12:15 tomorrow, COYF!
