Relegation

[argietoffee]

I fancy us to get something from both games against Leicester. Surely their mind is on Europe? How could it not be? Once in a lifetime opportunity for club and most of those players, to win a European trophy. Especially since they could be playing West ham in the final. Surely all their eggs go in that basket.
Call ame a foolz but I could easily see us taking 4 points from those 2 games.

The likelihood of the Foxes playing the Hammers in the final of a different competition is somewhat remote

They’re in different competitions.

I take your point on their focus being on Europe, hopefully, but they are in a different competition to West Ham.
Roma in the semis are no joke though and they play them away a few days before us
The worst thing about next game is their first team defense will likely rest v Newcastle and back for us but we can do it still

Burnley are going to have a bounce now

We need to beat Leicester to keep that pressure on them

 

[Ufotone]

The Dyche sacking worries me, the bounce may well just happen.

Hope our lads are ready for a war.

I think catching Leeds is a must now.

Big Sam for Burnley.

To go from Dyche to Fat Sam....how much more negative can you get from Dyche?

Benitez?

 

[COYBL25]

Big Sam for Burnley.

I’m was thinking that too.

However, Allardyce specialises in not getting beaten and they need someone who can come in and get them immediately winning games.

Thats not him.

 

[neil999]

Hopefully they will just start conceding more goals

Big Sam for Burnley.

Scenes if that happens

It's desperation stakes for Burnley so they have rolled the dice. I can't criticise them - it might just work. They have nothing left to lose, so a deseprate punt as a last resort is them pressing the nuclear option. This could have been us had we lost to United. I wouldn't have argued against it.

We have simply got to keep focused on our task at hand: that is beat Leicester. Every win drives the stake further into Burnley's heart. If West Ham can keep their own focus, it'll be hard for Burnley to win there. Either way, Leicester is huge for us. Time to drive on now.

 

[davek]

This has me worried.

 

[MikeH72]

I honestly think that this might be Burnley conceding the relegation battle you know. Getting set up for a fresh start next season. I can imagine they’ve had relegation factored into their long term plans as a club.

 

[Drico]

This has me worried.

Fair play to them. They are not accepting their fate.

If our lads cannot respond against Leicester, we'll deserve what we get. We have them on the ropes, time to knock them out.
