Blackpool scored 3 at Turf Moor and Rotherham bagged 2. Sheff utd also put 5 past them. There weaknesses are at the back, but not many teams dare go at them.

I bet the players are enjoying being able to attack directly again, and will be feeling lifted after Saturday. I reckon we'll still lose but will give them a very good run for it

I can't see beyond a Burnley win, but somehow after Saturdays result, it doesn't seem so bad and a good performance would be just about palatable. But, if we were to fluke a point or three.....

We have to be realistic and say that it's a case of damage limitation. They are breezing past everyone in the division - 9 wins in their last 10 games including against Luton, Norwich, West Brom, Middlesbrough and Blackburn. If Warnock keeps us up then he'll be a miracle worker. If he gets anything out of this match then he'll have hit God-like status.

Too good for this division aren't they but who knows, they are beatable. Just hope we see another performance to be proud of and one to build their confidence. Camara might need to get some more blood on his nose

Surprised how well Burnley have done this season, didn't expect them to be involved in the playoffs let alone top and more or less confirmed champions by the end of February. They've bounced back really well after an abject season last year and the issues off the field no longer look like a problem. Kompany's done a great job.
Only thing you can say is that the Championship throws up daft results from time to time, so we might get them on an off day and considering they're more or less promoted now, maybe they'll start to slacken off.
I expect Burney to win this one by 2 or 3 goals and not break a sweat. Just hope that nobody gets injured or suspended, we have a game in midweek afterwards which is more winnable, as long as we are at our best.

I thought they were excellent on the opening day of the season. Literally a one nil mauling Hadn’t realised that they are 11 points clear. Stopped looking at the table these last couple of months for some reason 😂

It will be slightly ironic watching us play percentage football into the channels and pin them in with throw ins by their corner flag, while Burnley try to play football through us. They've obviously been doing passing football this season better than we ever managed though.
I think we've got a chance here, although I am usually too optimistic. Hungbo's pace will cause them problems and i expect him to be running the channels like he did on Saturday. We just need to make sure we get the pressing right and don't make any mistakes at the back.

Bet 365 have Burnley 9/20, Town 6/1, 10/3 the draw which looking at the table seems about right. One thing in our favour is Burnley have a tough looking game away at inform Millwall on Tuesday night which might help. Probable defeat for us but you never know, UTT

I felt at the time that they were not Real Madrid as some said at the time. If we could have got a proper manager in then, rather than the poor, penny pinching attempt made by Bromby we would be well away from out current position.

With the league all but wrapped up I think the last thing Burnley would want is to lose the cup tie at home to Fleetwood a few days after Town visit Turf Moor, with this in mind Kompany may be tempted to rest some of his 1st choice next Saturday........League games at Blackpool then at home to Wigan follow FAC & should hopefully give them six points towards the title (so let us have a point please).

Absolutely, not the first time they've handled relegation really well only to push on and get promoted again. They're like the polar opposite of Town in that respect, we showed exactly how it shouldn't be done, they showed exactly how it should be done. I expected Kompany to fail there but they obviously knew different. Biggest part is recruitment I guess, they had assets they were able to sell for tens of millions we had a load of worthless shyte that we couldn't give away stealing a wage and ruining team spirit.

It'll need a bit of luck and probably a bit of complacency on their part but who knows.. weirder things have happened. I cant see us just rolling over like we did at Stoke last week anyway.

Its not a free hit, dont believe Colin will see it as one either. Hit it forward early and compete for first and second balls. See how we go and dont let Ashley Barnes bundle one in from a couple of yards. Play him offside, he will be.

He did, however, I believe that was just extremely good management, making out that we could easily get hammered to take the pressure off the lads in public - if you believed him then, you obviously take any expectations out of the game. In private, I bet he's building up the team & not telling them it's a free hit, he'll try to get them believing they can win.

I'm only speculating but I believe having Neil in our dugout will have changed opposition's mindsets from us being a walkover, to one of their toughest games & that includes managers, players & supporters.

There’s a stigma that comes with Warnock and it definitely leaves you knowing you’re going to have a game on your hands - I remember when we used to come up against him I always dreaded it as you knew the players gave their all, made it hard work and what they may of lacked in talent they’d more then make up for it in work rate.

We will be winning 1 - 0 with 5 mins to go, somehow Burnley score and ruin our day.
A draw for me 1 - 1.

Never forget the Cardiff game pre play offs when Danny Ward decided to get himself sent off.

I never revel in players getting injured but I hope Millwall kick them from pillar to post tonight.
