Just.

 

I've been given a thorough scouting report from a Burnley supporting mate: "We've barely seen him so far but he did look like he has potential given a good run to play in a team."

 

LOL! I just want us to 'Get Happy!!' and stay that way come the season end

 

Not necessarily, he just doesn't think he's good enough to get into the team at this moment (which he patently isn't)... doesn't mean to say he doesn't feel he can make it in a year or two if he applies himself in the right way

 

I might put that in my book. The one I write everyday. (Everyday)

 

is Elvis Costello getting royalties for all these song mentions

 

Anf

And yet he was good enough to get in a team who got promoted last season.

 

Aye, the wings that we don't use in the current shape.

Genius.

 

You seem to be getting grumpy lately lol

 

I think were destined for the playoffs, which is frustrating in itself

We really need that third spot, but whenever we get anywhere near the boys burst into nose bleeds and faint at the thought of achieving something

But who knows, there's a long way to go

We might not even make the playoffs at all, or we might still win the league. But I'm going for fifth

 

I was going to write that I suspect Hughes will be tweaking this system with a bit more width. And that's shown in the team chosen.

 

It works away from home

 

Seriously hope I'm wrong but this today stank of he has to start.

 

Haha I've already had it. To be fair he played 90 minutes today, I'm guessing against anyone else he'd have gone off around 60 minutes. Him and Kemp both played well. He did mention that Kemp was a good player.

 

I am hoping Tuesday

 

We can't do that though with the shape we have, it would have to be a standard 4 4 2 with Walker being the sacrifice.

I'm hoping the wide men start and we go back to the 4231 but either way I can't see how Oliver gets a start.

 

I doubt Walker will play Tuesday. Opens the door for a change of shape?

 

We certainly need changes if for nothing else to freshen up what looked a tired side yesterday, I'm becoming a little worried with regards Derbyshire what we were given to believe was a couple of weeks is now a month plus, he was looking like forming a decent partnership with Cook so fingers crossed he might get game time Tuesday night or against Grimsby.
Walker has got to be a doubt after his early injury he never got into the game so I can see Banks getting a start, as for someone along side Cook Hughes has limited options does he stick with the kid Costelloe (which wouldn't suprise me) or put Oliver up top with Cook and Gilliead in a similar role as he played second half getting crosses into the box, or once again have Cook as our lone striker.

 

Getting the ball into the box as quickly as possible right from the off on Tuesday might well unsettle Carlisle and in that case, I’d play both Banks and Chapman out wide in replacement for Costelloe and Walker. In addition I’d put Oliver alongside Cook and support him in not having to be the only target man, in replacement for Smallwood, so leaving Gillead alongside Clayton.

It’s unlikely, I just don’t see Smallwood been dropped, but let’s see.....

 

I'm starting to think that Smallwood is Mark's love child !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
