Burton (a) pre-match thread

[schfc6]

Think we'll go with something like this. I hope we don't play too many kids from the start so as to make it meaningless for them individually. Let the kids who do start be part of an XI that somewhat resembles a proper team.

Poveda G.Jesus Mahrez
Foden Bernardo
Zinchenko Stones Bolton
Otamendi E.Garcia
Muric
Grimshaw, Delph, Sandler, Pozo, Gundogan, Nmecha, Richards,


​

You really think Delph won’t start?

No Matondo?

Seems,unfortunately,he has pound signs in his eyes.

Alternatively he's seen how well Sancho is doing and has decided he wouldn't mind playing some first team football somewhere in the next four years. The opportunities we give to our youth players bar Foden are shite and we can't keep blaming them for worrying about their own careers.

Except he would have been in the squad tomorrow if he wasn't in dispute.He's 18.......and at one of Europe's best sides,you'd think he'd want to show a bit of patience and try and make it here.

Anyway,this isnt the thread and it ends up going in circles as people will always disagree.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with him not being good enough to break into a team of world class players in his position (usually at least two!) or that he is 18, or that I’m sure his adad thinks he is the cat’s meow and not being treated according to some unwritten code that has been created for “the new generation of players” coming through.

I’m sure he will be a regular starter for Bayern and I have no doubt he will win a Champions League medal and start against Liverpool. I mean, that’s the plan, right?!

If he was as good as he thinks he is, he would be playing, just like Diaz. Maybe he should grow up a bit first? Or, maybe he looks and sees his path blocked here and wants to try somewhere, and something, else? No one really knows until they say, and even then half the time you can’t believe them because some PR wanker told them what to say.

I hope he fulfills his potential, wherever that might be and whatever level it might be.

Minus 2 at kick off so wil the game be on?

A lousy 200/1 for a 9-0 home win it should be write your own ticket.

But it's also 200/1 for a 4-0 home win. Have a look at 66/1 for a 1-0 home win. Might be a good bet if the pitch is frosty and injuries are to be avoided.

Play a strong team and get another 9, this team has to stay hungry.
