Clarets % Game ?

That is the stangest thing I've ever read on here I think. Why make the comparison?! Is there some context I'm missing?

Bizarre.

I think Burnley 0-2 Brighton, Mackail-Smith and LuaLua with the goals.

Yep, 5" taller than Adam el Abd and about the height of Andy Carroll, Ricardo Vaz Tê. Or, I think we will need two goals to win and I think we might only be good for one. But it might be the width of the the post that counts. Vokes and Austin are a couple of inches less.

This match might be an Air Show ?

Didn't think Vicente would travel all the way up there. Hopefully fit enough for Friday with any luck.

Why? He is a professional footballer? It is his job.

No vicente even on the bench?

Have we seen the last of him (I hope not) - something's not right.

Vicente didn't train with the group on Thursday so I wasn't expecting him to feature today. Looking like last season all over again unfortunately - hope to be proved wrong as I really thought that after a full pre-season he would be fit for the entire season. Very disappointing.

He's got previous for not travelling to long distance away games when not 100%. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy he gets plenty of rest/treatment before Sheffield Wednesday game. The new signings will make me panic less when he is not available.

 

[Steve Foster]

Hopefully with the new signings we can get a better result at their place than last year. Just need a point to match the same as last years equivalent fixtures.

Gus mentioned after the 0-0 with Cardiff that he won't put Vicente in the same position again of putting him on the pitch for even 10 minutes when he is not properly fit.

Orlandi is actually Nooney in disguise, according to Player.

His problem is in his head. Will preseason deal with that?
