OutByEaster? Posted April 25, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 25, 2022 Lies! I hope they go down. Best I can find is their live text commentary here: https://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/match/2237528/commentary Quote Free Kick Won Declan Frith (Aston Villa PL2) wins a free kick in the defensive half.

OutByEaster? Posted April 25, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 25, 2022 Turns out they aren't allowed to show it because it would interfere with the Premier League game tonight. Which they knew. And lied about. I ate my tea extra quick for this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 i'm sure that thing of not being allowed to show academy games at the same time as Premier League games was overruled. It's apparently being streamed on their official site, but probably an hassle to access, maybe behind a paywall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 25, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 25, 2022 Congrats to Patterson on his first goal by the way - looks like it was very much against the run of play, although it does seem it may have settled us a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 25, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 25, 2022 2-1 down, which is a shame as it sounds like we've had more of it in the second half. Rowe on for Afoka, who missed a chance just before their second goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 25, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 25, 2022 Finished 2-1 to Burnley but it sounds like we had a really good go at it in the second half. Unlucky boys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 26, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted April 26, 2022 Massive Monday done. Friday 22nd 19:00 Stoke City(5->5) 0-0 Burnley(6->6) 19:00 Notts Forest(4->3) 1-1 Middlesbrough(12->12) Monday 25th 19:00 Burnley(6->6) 2-1 Aston Villa(9->10) 19:00 Newcastle(7->8) 2-4 Southampton(8->7) 19:00 Reading(14->14) 3-1 Fulham(1->1) 19:00 Sunderland(13->12) 2-1 sha(11->11) 19:00 West Brom(10->9) 3-2 Norwich City(4->5) 19:00 Wolves(2->2) 2-2 Stoke City(5->3) We did our usual. A comparitively old starting 11 (18.93 y/o), the 4th oldest of the season despite having no first team ringers in it managed to lose to a side who, in fairness, were far more motivated having playoff ambitions. Burnley's win puts them within touching distance of the playoffs, just 5 goals outside it with an away tie again Champions Fulham to go. Norwich stumbled to defeat at the Baggies, dropping them to 5th and the brink of missing out. Stoke's draw with 2nd placed Wolves in the end was enough to 'catapult' them from 5th to 3rd. Only 1pt separating 3rd from 6th. The best we can hope for now is 8th. In PL2/1, Chelsea won and Leeds lost, meaning Chelsea are now in the drop zone by only 1pt, with a game in hand.

useless Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) My guess would be that we didn't think it was worth risking injury to the likes of Chrisene, Iroegbunam, Tommi O'Reilly, or Chukwuemeka, in a game that doesn't matter, and potentially jeopardizing their chances of getting valuable first team experience between now and the end of the season. If there's nothing to play for U23 games this time of year become more about looking at which players might be good enough to step up from the U18s next season giving them some experience, and also the fringe players tend to get more game time, maybe the club allowing them to play to try and help them attract offers in the summer, as it's good for us if the players we let go go on to have good careers elsewhere.

OutByEaster? Posted April 28, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 28, 2022 Talk of the league going to an U21 format next season (with a limited number of over 21 players) - should suit us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly won't hurt us, but from the cursory glances I usually give our opposition it seems most of the league have been doing that too anyway.

Would make sense - particularly now that the 5 sub rule coming in would mean that players on the periphery have more chance of getting some minutes now.
