I think it's the fact they've lost 2 games and only conceded 11 goals.
That's an outstanding record.
But they do draw a few and that's my prediction for tomorrow which I'd be delighted with.

Only conceding 11 goals is absolutely ridiculous

Yeh we defo tend to hype teams on here i agree. There are a group of standout Championship teams but they are still Championship teams and not Real Madrid, that are certainly beatable by us, as a high ranking member of the chasing pack, especially at home.
Think people are just on a downer after the Blunts game, it wasn't great, but it happens. Also the keeper thing, which i get more but we just have to hope for the best there.
Personally think a draw is on the cards, we need to not concede early as that'll just allow them to kill the game and make for a very frustrating afternoon.

The keeper thing thought he was left in too long .I for one thought he should have been pulled long before he was.Agree with your last piece if we get to half time and are level or even 1 up and the top 2 are up. Burnley will have to press we could see how good they are. Normaly they sit back andwait for a mistake.

Sadly I think they will be just too good for us. Not in the way Leeds or Ipswich were, but in clinical professionalism.

I usually like 5 at the back but as Burnley are not a particularly offensive side, and their defence notoriously difficult to beat, we might as well give it a go and risk 4-3-3.

Most of the side picks itself, but on the areas where there is doubt

Bidwell rather than Da Silva. Just a better defender,
Midfield of Grimes, Rudoni & Sheaf. Torp for Sheaf if he is still not up to a full 90 minutes
Tempted by the idea of bringing back Simms and putting Wright out left, but still think EMC is likely to cause more problems than Simms

I'd wouldn't mind seeing Simms also.

EMC needs to up his defensive game! He left Bidwell open a couple of times and was irresponsible in diving in and mot winning the ball for the second goal.

There every week when he was well enough.
God Bless mate.

I agree - his brain tends to go to sleep when he is not on the ball. Nor is he alert for a rapid throw out by the keeper - he tends to just trot back to the halfway line
