Defour is back on for the second half and it is McNeil who has been replaced by Chakwana. Watch this space!!
Good to see that Steven Defour is having a run out for the Under 23s against Bolton at Curzon Ashton this afternoon. The first half has just finished and we are leading 2-0 with goals from Agyei and McNeil.
Defour has completed the first half but I would not be surprised to see him sit out the rest of the match and I sincerely hope that he has no after effects.
Let's hope that we can hold on to the lead and move up the table. We have been scoring goals OK at this level but we have also been conceding a number too.

Defour came off after 60 minutes so we shall see how he feels after this gentle re-introduction to a competitive game. Still leading 2-0
I never thought Defour would play for us again and here he is fully healed and raring to go.
A bad foul by the Bolton number 8 has led to a bit of a confrontation with several players involved and resulted in our Ali Koiki and their Harry Brockbank being dismissed. Let's hope that it settles down again now.

Two players down injured leads to a lengthy delay and ends with N'Guessan being stretchered off but also being shown a red card for his challenge! Ten minuted plus added time to play and it is 9 Clarets v 10 Trotters. I'll bet that Steven Defour is pleased that he is now on the bench!
A good result in the end with a 2-0 win which takes us to within one point of Bolton who won the League last year. It looks as though it iwll be quite a tight league this season, although with calls on players being made you can never tell.
Agyei has scored 4 goals in his last 7 matches and we have now played two successive matches and not conceded, although one of those was the Lancashire Senior Cup against Barrow.
We play Hull next Monday at Curzon Ashton as things stand at the moment.
Always looks a class act to me Sinkov , never frightened to receive the ball if he’s marked or not, I think he has a controlling influence on games, wastes very little
Defour and Brady have been very sorely missed.
they are both very comfortable on the ball and can create stuff.
Both of these are missing at the moment.
