Looking forward to it.. the prospect of claiming a high flying scalp is exciting and this is not a make or break game so there's nothing to lose and everything to gain... PUSB

In the posh seats again for this. Should I bring my autograph book with it being legends day? Should I get an autograph book?

Don't concede early on, so that the crowd stays engaged. An early red card for them would be nice, too!
Bit twitchy about that Edwards (on loan?) from Sporting. Vik's old team-mate, and a decent player on the right wing.

Dreamed last night that Daniel Rachel was in goal, but every time I looked at the keeper it was a woman with a blonde ponytail. We were at Turf Moor and won 2-1 with 2 tap ins. And there was massive brawls in the stands and I had to carry my dad out on my shoulders despite him being completely fine and uninvolved.

Take from that what you will.

If they are as good and clinical as Sheff U or as quick as Leeds then I fear the worst, especially if Binks is masquerading as a defender.

Whilst I didn’t rate him, Dovin has been decent since Christmas bar the odd one or two mistakes, so a big loss… especially with biscuit wrists Brad as a replacement. I hope Wilson comes back in and rekindles his form of 2022-2023.

Has it been confirmed if Kitching has recovered from illness?

Kitching, Dasilva and Sheaf in.

Binks, Bidwell and Allen out (I hope).

I would bee happy with a draw, delighted with a win and if we lose not the end of the world as West Brom play Sunderland and then Bristol and West Brom play each other so as long as we beat Pompey midweek we should be still in the top 6. Boro also have to play Leeds midweek as well.

Hull, Oxford ,Millwall,Portsmouth, Preston, Middlesboro and WBA all teams below us have all taken points off Burnley in there home games this season .Looking at this forum you would think they had beaten all before them and were invincable.Why all the negitivity?
On our day we can beat any team in this league.

It could also be an opportunity to make a clean break in 5th if we can win both home games. Obviously that is not normally how it happens for us.

Yeh we defo tend to hype teams on here i agree. There are a group of standout Championship teams but they are still Championship teams and not Real Madrid, that are certainly beatable by us, as a high ranking member of the chasing pack, especially at home.
Think people are just on a downer after the Blunts game, it wasn't great, but it happens. Also the keeper thing, which i get more but we just have to hope for the best there.
Personally think a draw is on the cards, we need to not concede early as that'll just allow them to kill the game and make for a very frustrating afternoon.

If we play half as well as we did against Sunderland then we'll win one-and-a-half nil so I'm pretty confident.

I think the last time they lost in the league was in December at Millwall. Millwall!!

Sunny day, big crowd, Kitch back, Rudoni back. We can do this!

Leeds I agree.Sheffield United Hamer was the big diffence in both games. Thought home we were unlucky(twice as much of the game 3 times as many shoots 3 times as many on target 5 times as many touches in the box) not to win it away it was that Hamer free kick killed us.

I think it's the fact they've lost 2 games and only conceded 11 goals.
That's an outstanding record.
But they do draw a few and that's my prediction for tomorrow which I'd be delighted with.
