Clarets v Spurs FA CUP - match preview.

JBG works hard and is far better defensively on the flank than any other of our wide players who, for some reason, seem to switch off to the job they need to be doing

One game he came off at half time with the score 1-2 ---we losr 2-5.
Another game he came off after just 20 minutes at 0-0 --we lost 0-1.
Another he came off on 81 minutes at 1-1 ---we lost 1-2.
ANother he came off on 89 minutes at 0-1 ----we lost 0-2.
Another he came off on 85 minutes at 1-0 ----we lost 1-2.
Another he came off on 58 minutes at 1-0 ----we drew 1-1.
Another he came off on 74 minutes at 2-2 ----we lost 2-3.

7 out of 9 are backing me thanks Sub, clear and obvious and we all like a bit of that in these joyful times haha

Reply to the weathermen - Hi and welcome, have a great day in London at that fab stadium. Meet Clarets fans before and mention your issue. Some may be introverted but will improve after beer...... yep you'll find most in an establishment early

Lyle Foster, 12/1 to score the first goal. Not very likely but there are worse bets at that price.

Strangely enough I have been working this out and here is the response to BT's earlier post which I was working on.

JBG has started 9 games for us this season. One game he came off at half time with the score 1-2 ---we losr 2-5.
Another game he came off after just 20 minutes at 0-0 --we lost 0-1.
Another he came off on 81 minutes at 1-1 ---we lost 1-2.
ANother he came off on 89 minutes at 0-1 ----we lost 0-2.
Another he came off on 85 minutes at 1-0 ----we lost 1-2.
Another he came off on 58 minutes at 1-0 ----we drew 1-1.
Another he came off on 74 minutes at 2-2 ----we lost 2-3.

Obviously more subs willl have come on, however, I still maintain that he is the best defensive winger we have and the reason he is picked on the right is to give Vitinho cover ---he often needs it!

Interesting sub and the facts don’t lie and the comment re Vitinho is very pertinent I think I don’t rate him at this level at all especially as a full back - he’s irrational in his play thinks he can get to balls he can’t and ball watches too much for my liking.

I’ve posted so many times re JBG and it sounds like I hate the man - I don’t he’s been a good servant to Burnley - however I believe in front of Vitinho or Robert’s he makes life for the oppositions full backs so easy it’s like a stroll in the park - as a wide man he spends most of the game going / playing back to his full back and narrowing play so much it’s easy to defend against ( the opposition must think this is brilliant when they play us. ).

As I said though the facts don’t lie and we concede less with him on the park - and yet we have bought a glut of wide men and not one of them in VK opinion can offer us more going forward and the defensive part as well ( that’s not good purchasing or selection of players imo anyway)

All I know is he should be a bit part 10/15 min player at most in this squad ( unless we got recruitment very wrong ).

That’s all based on premiership football not the championship.

We are a few players short at this level and VK should be able to see that if me Bt sub , Sinkov and the rest can.
