It’s ‘Shake it Alneny’ a clever twist on the original.

Should be. Both signed in plenty of time.

With the takeover done I’m still scared that we’ll sell 15% of Gyokores

I think we're more likely to play how we did at Watford who are a similar possession based team, we didn't sit back as such but we didn't pile forward. This sort of game is where we really miss O'Hare because we need to be winning the ball back as high up the pitch as possible which he's exceptional at but Palmer played at Watford and did well.

The break will be vital and I think Palmer Allen and Vik is alright there. Just don’t want to see us in 811 formation.

Thought I’d start a new one as the old one has curled up and died

Burnley fans predicting a goalrush from their side. Only a couple suggesting a draw.
With our injuries and suspensions, we're going to have problems. They're on a high with the form table on their side, we're 1 win in 6. Our solid defense has crumbled, midfield needs a new charger and while KP is a talented ballplayer, he hasn't got the same box to box engine that CoH has.
As much as I want to see us win, if we come away with a draw and no further players going missing, I'd class that as a good day. If you're travelling up, enjoy the trip and have a safe day.

Both new wing backs to start. An assist each, Gyo brace and a goal for Palmer. 3-1 City.

Still can’t see past a heavy loss. The defence has lost the plot since it lost McF.

Have to agree. We've basically only got Rose and Bidwell with anyting close to experience too, and it seems likely we'll be playing Bidwell out of of position.
On the plus side, against weaker sides we might be far more of a threat than we have been, but this lot aren't it!

Not to suggest that Robins is oblivious to it either, he just can’t find anyone to replace what we’ve lost.

First game of a new era, expected to lose so anything from it is a bonus I think we can give them a few problems. Team will be interesting doubt there will be a new signing today, expect lad from Arsenal to play, Man City one between him or Burroughs, Bidwell CB he’s a decent defender to be fair. Be good to get promotion favourites out of the way and get ourselves ready for a March to the top six which I think we’ll do. As said any positive result will do.

Bidwell isn’t a replacement for McF in the centre of defence. The problem as we’ve seen exposed even by Conference opposition is it can’t handle balls into the box.

I think most of our problems on Saturday where with Panzo playing in the middle of the 3, he didn't adjust well. Doyle is much better there. Bidwell was good at LCB at the end of last season, he played there when we beat Fulham. I think Robins will have them fired up for this one. If the new wing backs hit the ground running (the Man City lad looks to be something special) then we may cause them a lot of problems

Who said he was ? He’s the only choice unless Robins goes 4-4-2 which I doubt.

Sheaf can also play there and has done for us a few times.

He can and think he would be perfectly capable, but you only need to look at the game against Bristol City to see how poor we look without him being the lynchpin between defence and attack. Kelly looked non-league against a non-league side and Allen doesn't suit that role at all. I don't think there's any good solution but I think keeping Sheaf in midfield would be the 'least bad' option.

Stick the new lads in. No point having them if you can't show faith in starting with them.

Exactly right, couldn't agree with you more RtheD.

Sadly my optimism about the takeover doesn't extend to this game. Can see us losing by a couple so I'll go 3-1. Will probably go 3 in the midfield.

That looks by far the most likely team.

If they play as we know we can that isn’t a bad team might surprise Burnley a bit. Going to be weak from the bench though but that’s how it is at the moment.
