Re: BURNLEY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Would like to see Goutas out for this game, wouldn't even be opposed to both him and Ng being dropped. They're stalwarts of a defence that haemorrhages goals, and cheap ones at that.

Robertson and Kanga should start if fit enough - in particular Robertson. We have to move away from this forced Ralls-Ramsey-Siopis nonsense.


Regardless of lineup, 3-0 Burnley.

I agree with you regarding the Ralls-Ramsey-Siopis midfield. I'm fairly confident that Robertson will come into the side Saturday, probably alongside Ramsey and Siopis.

I don't feel Kanga is fit enough yet.
I'd like Bulut to be bold (Bulut/bold?.... yeah, I know :hehe:) and reward Reindorf with a start. Other clubs take a gamble on promising young players, it's time we did.

I'd be more than happy if we gave Ng the day off and started Kpakio, just to see how it goes, we're early doors we can afford to do that sort of thing. Add on Giles or Bagan to that at LB as well so we can push O'Dowda up the pitch.

I'd really have no issues with a nearly completely different defence from Southampton.

Probably right here, also agree with Reindorf. Anyone but Meite starting as centre forward, would rather Alnwick given a David James style run out.

Kpakio would be a good shout. It's a bit of an odd one, because we're talking about dropping a player who has cleaned up all the end of season awards. However, as I've said before... football is all about the 'here and now' and I don't think we've looked strong at right back since the tail-end of last season.
I would like to see O'Dowda moved further forward, but I'm not convinced by Bagan in the left-back slot.

no way I'd Reindorf going to start a championship match.

It'll be Meite with Kanga to come on most likely

Your opening sentence is a bit unclear. Did you mean there's no way you'd start Reindorf or did you mean to say there's no way you envisage Bulut starting him?

it was supposed to say - no way is Reindorf going to start a championship match.
Predominantly meaning Bulut isn't going to start him, he didn't even start him against Bristol Rovers

He was right not to start him against Bristol Rovers. We needed to see what Kanga could offer, Reindorf was never going to get the nod before him.
However, having now witnessed the impact that both players had on the game, I would argue that Reindorf is the more likely of the two to trouble the Burnley defence.
Let's be honest, it's a game that few will expect us to get anything from. I think we need a roll of the dice.

No shame in Bulut being pragmatic about the likely result and throwing some of the younger boys out to see what they can do. Sink or swim.

This is how you unearth proper gems.

What’s up with this El Ghazi fella ?

Not fit or is he another sicknote ?
