Burnley (H) 07/11/15 Build up and Matchday Thread

[Dinowolf]

Watching Leeds beating Huddersfield and despite Leeds winning 3-0 I like the look of Huddersfields' left winger Harry Bunn.
Leeds win pushes us down to 15th.

Stu, we're going to the Moon straight after the game

I wouldn't go there Darlo, there is no atmosphere.

 

[Norman Deeley]

I really hope we win this, it will stop people calling for KJ to go.

There is the other point of view, Frank, that if we win this it will simply highlight the inconsistencies and the very-easily-avoidable errors Jackett has made this season. Glass half full or half empty; let's see at 4:50...

 

[Parkins left foot]

Just back in time after a flying visit to Surrey.

Fine with the team selection, though I would have a bust up if I were Graham. Being brought back of loan where he is playing to not even getting in the Matchday 18 here - what is the point of that.

 

[Sedgley Wolf]

It's a complete nonsense move from Jackett if he was always going to select Ojo ahead of him.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Wolves to attack the South Bank in the first half - and kick off

 

[Parkins left foot]

Martinez decent save from Gray - we have to be alert as they seem to activate that attack very quickly

 

[Wolf Hunting]

First good save of the game from Martinez. Down low to his right.

Gray's nous skill and speed created that space for a shot.

Did I read that Edwards has scored 4 goals from his last 6 shots?

 

[Parkins left foot]

Decent move between Iorfa & Henry - ball back to Henry but the cross just clears the bar with no real pressure from our attackers

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Good patient play from Wolves then with Iorfa running into a great position but Henry's pass was a bit strong and the keeper picked it up.

(This is a different attack than the one Peter just described!)

 

[Wolf Hunting]

I wish this twat would stop describing scenic postcards from a fan in America....

 

[Parkins left foot]

Gray offside after a period of possession by Burnley - Wolves keeping shape well at the moment and will need to do that throughout the game

 

[Parkins left foot]

Long ball from Edwards to Henry - marked by 2, but wins a FK as they can't get the ball away from him

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Neat flick on from Batth but it falls just short of Afobe.
Next attack has Ojo doing well with Afobe and Henry running into position but Ojo turned into troiuble and the ball got cleared...

 

[Wolf Hunting]

KMac caught late by..... Barton.
Iorfa racing in slides it off to Kmac but it's blocked and cleared...

 

[Parkins left foot]

Iorfa gets into a good position breaking forward, but final ball to Afobe not good enough to allow the latter to do anything with it. Won't criticise Iorfa who is still learning and at least he is getting into the right position to affect the game

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Mee to Gray who turns and fires it in and it's another good diving save from Martinez.
Why can we not defend against these big long looping balls deep into our defence?
That long ball just cut us open!

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Is Martinez injured?

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Ipswich now 2 up.
I see that Wolves haven't lost 3 in a row at Molineux since April 2012, and whilst I'm at it, no team has scored more goals from set pieces than Burnley (9 goals)

 

[Parkins left foot]

Gray causing us problems in that he doesn't need much space or time - surprised he's improved this much. Saw him playing v Woking 2 years ago & whilst he was clearly a cut above the average Conference level forward he wasn't so good that I could see him being good at this level by now.
