So what will prompt Neil's team selection this week. I'd like to think he could take what was good at QPR but rectify the bad. But I would also like to think he will start picking his best players and sorting out formations home and away to accommodate most of them. Not all can go for 90 mins. My idea of the best players at his disposal, Trotter having presumably departed is as follows in quality order!!
Davies, Wheater, Amos, Heskey---Best Players,to be used whenever available but in Heskey's case for 45 mins tops
Moxey, Madine, Spearing, Medo, Wilson, Pratley, Prince........All seasoned and should be good enough for mid table finish ( play the lot over the next three games and five in each game for all of it)
Derik, Vela, Clayton, Silva, Twardzik, ( Clough) -- Young and potentially more talented than all the above..to feature thoughtfully and given every chance to cement place for season but no more than two to start and one on the bench in any one game for the time being until we get a few points on the board with Vela the first option and a view tpo playing three from February
Pisano, Casada ... back up to the second group
Feeney, Dervite... face up Neil to the fact that they aren't good enough, loan to Dougie. Just maybe allow Feeney ten minutes on the wing late in games but with cover behind
Walker, Holding, Finney plus those out on loan--- not yet, maybe in time..maybe
Reserve keeper..not a clue
So for Burnley
Amos, Vela, Wheater , Prince, Derik, Moxey
Spearing, Davies, Pratley,
Madine, Heskey

Good luck to those travelling to Turf Moor but more importantly good luck to the lads as we will need it, hopefully we sort out our defensive issues but carry on our recent attacking form ........
Burnley 3 Bolton 1 ....... Hope I'm wrong as I know quite a few Burnley fans.

Worried that Burnley have more quality than QPR and Huddersfield who both scored at ease with us. This could be a very long afternoon. I really hope Neil has been working hard on a different game plan but I think he'll go with tried and trusted.
Amos, Wilson, Dervite, Price, Moxey, Danns, Davies, Feeeney, Pratley, Clayton, Madine.
My team would be ___________Amos, Wilson, Wheater, Prince, Moxey, _______Vela Danns ______Davies, ____Clayton, Pratley, _______Madine.

I think we might struggle with the 1 so I'm going for 3-0 to The Clarets I'm afraid.

You are where you are in this league and we are at the bottom (stating the obvious) and the Dingles are up there. Having spent £7m on a single player, one can only dream of spend days like that (Anelka Elmander) I can only see this going one way, but make no mistake, Burnley are not that hot but the addition of that dirty barsteward Joey Barton could be a game changer. 2-2

A typically unfathomable Neil team. Drops Prince and Davies. Keeps Dervite.. Let's hope his reasoning is good but it hasn't often been. And again he goes for the two wide players. Poor Casada- a debut protected by Silva. We are going to need a lot of luck....

That's what £7m gives you..... Shame really because up to 65 mins, the stats had us holding our own, with 53% possession, 10 shots on goal to their 6, 5 on target to their 4, but for me and here's the real deal, it took 66 minutes for our first yellow card!!!! I'm not suggesting we become a dirty side but at least show a bit more aggression than that.. Oh and they have more quality in their 4 shots on target than our 5 sadly COYWM

Just dawned on me...
If Preston avoid defeat we will be rock bottom of the league
Well done Gartside Davies and Lennon!! Can't see us climbing from this catastrophe with those 3 running operations

Two home games to come. not so difficult if you can get your team right and of course the subs , of goes an defensive midfielder and on comes an opposite why? its not as if we were short on the bench Vela was there for a start , then on comes the biggest dope in football (oops sorry no he's the ginger one on the bench ) we need a goal so with 6 minutes left to play he brings one , yes your right my faith in paddy has fallen well away ,still Fleetwood town won could be a derby next year . I almost forgot its a golden rule if you play three at the back they all need to be a bit quick ours ar'nt .

I don't think we can draw too many conclusions from today other than we were beaten by a much better team. Hardly unexpected, but like Andy I'm beginning to have serious questions about Lennon's team selections. Two wide players every week despite the continued failure is beyond me. Why no Vela, how about giving Medo a chance and why not try Derik in front of a solid back four Campo style. I just wonder what he's watching every week because like his predecessors he seems to learn nothing from performances and just repeats his mistakes. I'm sorry Neil but it's just not good enough I'm afraid and frankly neither are you on current evidence.

Vela was a revelation at rb last season. NL brings in 2 new rbs and today plays a cb there. Don't think he knows what he's doing. Win next 2 games or get shot of this manager.
