Seems this game is on iFollow for UK tomorrow, anyone know why?
Yeah, think it was Hyam and McDonald in the away fixture last season - was when Davies was out with his collarbone and Willis suspended for the early red at Mansfield. Probably McDonald's last really good game for us.Still remember Jack Finch did a job too.
Didn't Hyam play against him one game as well? It is the runners that are harder to track, it will mean hard work from Thomas or whoever plays on the left to follow their man. Thomas has a habit of giving up between half way and our box.

Suspect it will be something to do with the international break and it not being classed as the usual non broadcastable window.Seems this game is on iFollow for UK tomorrow, anyone know why?
Could hear the crack from one he did in the centre circle during the 2nd half at Wembley even over the noise of 50,000 spectators. Flew into it.I think I've seen Kelly put in a couple of crunchers.
Robins confirms it in his interview after the FGR game that both Kelly and Ogogo are being asked to play roles that they don't like and curb their natural game. Was obvious for most of the season last year - his movements were too repetitive and scripted, from his starting position on the pitch mirroring Doyle, to the way he would always drop into right back to cover Grimmer going forward.Yeah he played the role he’s played most his career the last few games of last season. He’s wasn’t a natural deep enforcer, it looks like something MR is/was asking him to do.
The play offs game at Notts County is what he does best naturally

I’d like to see Bayliss tried in a more forward role (Dennis Mortimer?) He seems to beat the first player with ease. If that fitst player happened to be the last defender, who knows???I would still start with the Charlton starting lineup. We have to because MR will always pick Doyle, and that and Bayliss's poor form reduces the room for change.
So
Burge
Sterling Davies Willis Brown (I'd prefer Mason but see point above)
Thomas Kelly Doyle Bayliss (I'd prefer Bayliss instead of Doyle and Hiwula or JJ on the left but MR won't do that)
JCH Chaplin (Bayaoko didn't do much against FGR, maybe super-sub at this stage, JCH needs to deliver one of his good performances)
1-0, don't care who scores but Chaplin must be short odds
Don't think Baka is an automatic start. He may have the supersub role again.Back 4 likely to be the same as we don't really have much in the way of options at the moment. Reckon he'll stick with Bayliss rather than start Kelly, certainly won't be dropping Doyle.
Up front is the interesting one. Bakayoko surely has to play so if you assume he starts do you go with JCH or Chaplin. I'd probably start with Chaplin.
You've not watched many games then. Kelly makes far more tackles than Doyle ever hasReally? While I don't disagree with your assessment of Doyle, I'm not sure I've ever seen Kelly make a tackle. He is one of the modern type of midfielders that hold English football back - while I acknowledge he has some ability, he basically just sits deep playing safe passes, but rarely gets forward or impacts the game positively. His best spell last season in the play offs coincided when the whole team were playing well and he got carried along with that, but I see him as a real liability when we are up against it like at Bristol Rovers a few weeks back, and I think in such games he hides behind Doyle, and doesn't look to receive the ball, leaving Doyle to battle on, on his own in midfield
International break I think. It was the same when we were on Sky against Oxford (but the games on the Saturdays as they were pissed off about it)
Bizarrely it goes back to the chairman of Burnley in the 1960s who thought having games on TV would mean all the grounds were empty. As all games were then played at 3pm on Saturday the Football Law created a rule that any games at that time couldn't be broadcast. It also applied to games covered by the FA, at the time the FA Cup but now covers the Prem as well. Somehow, presumably as part of the rights sold they have also managed to block overseas games being shown. There's no law stopping it as such.Thought it was a law that prevented 3pm games being broadcast, or are they just picking and choosing when it suits premier league teams?

Watched just about every game. I just haven't seen this hard tackling no nonsense player that you and others seem to think he is. In the odd game where he has played without Doyle, this season & last, he & the team have been completely ineffectual. I think there is potential in him, but other than at the end of last season I don't think he has been that great. He seems too passive to me and not dynamic enough to properly influence games. I know some allude to this being team orders from Robins, but I would like to see him take more responsibility in games, demand the ball and mix it up a bit by playing a few longer passes, rather than the safety first option, which tends to be his first instinct and often is a root cause for when our build up play is too slow.
I don't think anybody has said he is a tough tackler sort of player. He isn't the sort putting in 10 crunchers a game and enforcing. Compare how many crunchers he has put in compared to Doyle though.
The start of last season he was playing very deep mostly in the first half of games, second half he would go forward a bit more (no co-incidence we did well in the second halves). Then towards the end of the season he was playing more advanced for most of game.
I thought he was too defensive for most of it and too negative, he moves forward 20 - 25 yards and he is a completely different player who then starts getting assists and a goal.
I don't disagree - he has ability for sure. The question is whether it is team orders or his own natural instincts that lead him to err onto the negative side.
They had a decent left back last year, does he still play? Scored a few.
Joe Jacobson is your man, 2 assists (from corners) and 2 goals (x2 pens) he’s also missed a pen this season.
