Wolves game

[Longsidelenny1882]

Just spoke to Allan vydra in up top jay on wing instead of cornet

[Murger]

Can only think Cornet is injured. Bizarre putting Jay Rod on the wing though.

[clarethomer]

Why would an Everton player know our line up?

Wouldn't be the worst option if we are playing similar formation to Southampton game though

[jtv]

Is Alan selecting the team now?

[Bigvince]

Who’s Allan Vydra

[clarethomer]

Can only think Cornet is injured. Bizarre putting Jay Rod on the wing though.

We played a 4-3-3 formation against the saints at times so I see Jay acting more like a winger when they are attacking on the side he plays on and likewise McNeill - Was quite interesting to see the transition from attack to defence and the shape at times.

[ceborame]

Weghorst & Vydra is the upfront partnership I've been waiting to see

[claretandy]

Cornet did come off limping.

[Murger]

It'll be interesting to see how Vydra and Weghorst play.

[Bigvince]

Looks like Allan Vydra was right

[claretandy]

Team

[Bigvince]

No cornet on bench, so injured then

[Top Claret]

Jay often played on the left wing in his first stint here and was quite effective.

I often thought we could have accommodated him out wide and i think he will do as good a job as Cornet

[Nonayforever]

Could well be a 433

Lennon is available but isn't picked so may be a fluid midfield and front line.
Brilliant choice if we give them a game.

[burnleymik]

Like the look of this. COME ONNNN!

[tiger76]

Shame about Cornet's injury, but great to see Costelloe and Thomas on the bench.

And time for Vydra to shine.

[Tricky Trevor]

Very attacking line up. Could have moved Dwight back to the left and played Roberts ahead of Lowton. I love it. COYC. NNN. UTC.

[ClaretAL]

Didn't Jay get an England game on the wing,, or did I dream that lol

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Didn't Jay get an England game on the wing,, or did I dream that lol

He did and was pretty much ignored by the other players for some reason, it seemed very cliquey

[Burnley1989]

Team

Absolutely no way Dyche would have picked that side, I’m looking forward to seeing how we shape up

[CrosspoolClarets]

Many questions about Vydra at this level despite livelyness.

If he answers them and we stay up, he will be a hero.

[mkmel]

Starting 11 looks very attacking.
Although not a strong bench with no real game changers if needed. Unless young Costelloe is that man.

[RVclaret]

Weghorst & Vydra is the upfront partnership I've been waiting to see

Yeah, me too. Think Weghorst will like playing with him. Let’s see!

[halfmanhalfbiscuit]

Didn't Jay get an England game on the wing,, or did I dream that lol

No, I think he did - unless we have similar dreams

[karatekid]

Yeah, the bench is looking a bit thin.

[Elizabeth]

Will good to see Vydra’s movement , hope we don’t miss Cornet’s movement down the left pushing us up offensively

[halfmanhalfbiscuit]

Cornet did come off limping.

Tbh he always looks like he's limping when he comes off

[NewClaret]

I’d have started Lennon, kept Vyds as a game changer, but what do I know?!

Com’n Burnley!!!!!

[Devils_Advocate]

We switched to 4-3-3 in second half on Thursday with Cornet joining Jay and Wout up top. It looked to me that we did it cos they were playing 3-5-2 so maybe if thats the formation Wolves play Jackson fancies having an extra striker rather than a winger

[mkmel]

Yeah, the bench is looking a bit thin.

Not surprising though with 5 players missing from our already small squad.

[tiger76]

I’d have started Lennon, kept Vyds as a game changer, but what do I know?!

Com’n Burnley!!!!!

Hmm! I prefer playing our goal threats getting a lead, then we can maybe shut up shop late on as we did on Thursday.

At least Jackson is selecting a positive line-up and we're seemingly trying to go for wins.

Much better approach than keeping it tight and hoping to nick something.

[Tribesmen]

Would love if Dara gets a few minutes on the pitch , hey ex Galway United what more could i want

They do play that formation

Question is, can the players play this formation effectively. Going to be an interesting afternoon

It wasn't just second half- in the first half every time we had the ball under control at the back, Cornet was the furthest up and Jay and Wout took it turns to drop back. Second half it became more apparent that out of possession Jay was regularly defending deeper than Cornet although less so when Lennon came on.

With Lennon available as a like for like swap though this is a gamble, particularly against a team so good on the counter. Perhaps the thinking is Wolves will sit deep and compact so won't leave the spaces down the channels Lennon particularly thrives on exploiting.

[claretandy]

They do play that formation

They play 343 today.

[Buxtonclaret]

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!

[Buxtonclaret]

Off we go....

[derryclaret]

Afternoon all, sunshine all day today.
Cometh the hour cometh the team.COYC!!

[jollyjack]

And we're above Everton!

[Buxtonclaret]

Phew.
WOlves lucky then.

[Buxtonclaret]

Don't know why, must be trauma.
I still have horrible visions of Mutch Bull when this lot roll up.

[jos]

Fabio Silva is a good player, need to keep close to him.

[Buxtonclaret]

Don't let the buggers come upfield unchallenged!!

[KRBFC]

nervy nervy start like against Soton

[Kgun5]

Cork, Rodriguez, and Collins all with bad giveaways. Lucky we were not punished.

[Buxtonclaret]

What the bloody hell are we doing...

[Buxtonclaret]

Great run.
Good effort, Dwight.
Come on Burnley

[AlargeClaret]

Slightly odd starting line up against a very good side , let’s hope we can calm it down and play

[boyyanno]

I pray I'm wrong but it feels like a game where we're going to get beat this.
