Trying to convince the missus and daughter to go to this with not much luck, may be attending on my own.

Need a win, be happy with a draw, fear a loss.

Ticket sales well down on last week. Not surprising. Who wants to pay £33 to watch Burnley?

From what I've read it looks like Burnley have dominated most of their games this season, but seem to lack a cutting edge to finish teams off. Hopefully they don't find their shooting boots on Saturday, and we can get a smash and grab victory. This smacks me as the right game to go with just Gyokeres up front, with Waghorn playing in the hole behind him. If Maatsen plays we know that his weakness is defensive so Dabo really needs to put him on his heels rather than vice versa.

Managed to convince the project manager to fly me home tomorrow instead of Sunday so I'll be there, meeting up with a few friends. Not overly confident but don't think we'll get spanked, 2-0 defeat at worst. Gonna plump for a plucky 2-1 win though, fuck it.

Bidwell to rifle one in and show Maatsen we don't need him.

Er no when he’s likely to be back, I’d he in training etc


Posted 6 weeks ago tomorrow, saying he’d be out for another 6-8 weeks. Now we had an update he was “back on the grass” last week and confirmed he’s back in training yesterday. You’re looking for something that’s not there.

There’s plenty of things to take aim at the club for.

A lack of minute-by-minute update’s on a player’s fitness levels is not one of them.

Maatsen was on the bench last night. Don't know if he has lost is place or being rested. I guess we'll see on Saturday.

Get this weird feeling that his return to playing will be sprung upon us like an ace up one’s sleeve. Don’t know why they’d do it, mind.

Surely he'll need a few reserve team games first? I'm not sure if he's actually in full contact training or not yet.
Think Kelly will be back on the bench before O'Hare

Never! *sticks fingers in ears*

It’s all a silly elaborate plan.

I'd love it tbf. Especially with a winning 90th minute winner against Burnley

A return to the late winners would be unparalleled providence, from the Burnley game onwards. ⚽️🙏🏻👍🏻

I do fancy us to sneak this one, however, maybe a 2-1.
I’m basically going to predict a 2-1 win till it happens and then move onto last seasons favourite of 3-2.

Daughter insisting on coming…. So best behaviour required. Quick beer in the Anecdote before hand and then watch a one sided 0-0 draw.

Should be a really good test this game. I think a draw is most probable but id love us to dish out a 4-1 beating from nowhere and get some momentum really building.

Sounds like a good day lets hope we score a few, do you know if the Dhillons Brewery bar does food on a Match day? Cheers
