Bristol Boy Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Burnley come to AG in good form having beaten WBA.They won 2-0 at Weds last time out and are no mugs.GJ will know that complacency of any kind will be life threatening and must guard against it at all costs.Lafferty, Gray, Akinbiyi & Blake are experienced and decent players and Lafferty attracted a £2m bid earlier this season.It would be easy to relax after playing WBA in front of what will almost certainly be a smaller crowd of around 14,000.Yes folks, it's another massive game in what was always going to be a massive season........and it's proving that way!!

Guest Tafkar Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 It is a massive game, but I can't see anything other than a win - that is providing we play as we did last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC 1645 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Yes folks, it's another massive game in what was always going to be a massive season........and it's proving that way!!I'm hoping that this season will be just like our 1905/06 season when we last won this division.

Luke_Ciderhead Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Burnley are my tip for promotion dark horses this season. Theyve got a very tight knit squad of competant players and have an excellent defense.A very tough game for us, and another draw wouldnt be a disaster...

I really can't predict what will happen. I thought we would only get 1 point out of the last 9- I don't want to build up my hopes yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tafkar Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Be very surprised if Burnley finish near the top; they have a decent squad, but they have done for a while. It's a shame their manager isn't as competent as their players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DanC Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 These big games are coming thick and fast at the moment. I feel tired from just supporting City at are last two games so god knows how they feel after putting in two massive performances. Considering this I would probably be happy with a draw.

madmax Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 It depends on pace up front. If Akinbiyi or blake still possess a little pace then we may struggle slightly. Looking at when Miller came on on Tuesday, we couldn't cope with his pace and eventually they scored from it.However, likewise with us. If we can get Sproule to repeat what he did in the last few minutes when he outpaced the defence, then he will score in the end and cause problems.It's interesting and thats why we're in the Championship, loving it!MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
