Overview of your club:
Favourite thing about your home ground: It’s a proper old ground in the town, none of this identikit bowl on an industrial estate nonsense.
Favourite match played by your team & why: Burnley 1 Manchester United 0 our first big game in the premiership Robbie Blake smashes a screamer and the best saves a penalty it gve us hope that we could survive and also gave me bragging rights over a few of my mates for a change.
Favourite player of all time who played for your club: I’ll be controversial and say Steve Davis, he captained the club and managed it in my lifetime. He was a defensive rock and also scored some big goals for the club (I remember him bagging a brace to put Spurs out of the cup one year). Just a shame he jumped ship with Judas (Coyle) and forever sullied his good name.
About our forthcoming match against you:
Your favourite current player in your squad and why: Kieran Trippier, undoubtedly our signing of the season best attacking full back in the division by a country mile and cost us half the price we got for Mears who isn’t half the player Tripps is. He scores goals, sets them up and runs all day what more can you want?
Player in your squad we must fear and why? Danny Ings, He joined the club from Bournemouth then knackered his knee two days later. He is finally back in the team now and looks a great signing, fast hardworking and skilful he has filled in brilliantly since Jay Rod go injured.
Player in our squad you most fear and why? Gallagher, not because he is any good but he used to play for Rovers and always seems to raise his game against us, then score, then celebrate in front of the Burnley fans… I really don’t like him.
Up and coming prospects in your squad? Cameron Howieson, the little Kiwi is a bag of tricks and was exceptional in the youth team that got to the semi’s of the youth cup. Now he has a pro contract and I expect him to be knocking on the door of the first team sooner rather than later.
Where do you think you will finish this season? Midtable mediocrity, we have just been too inconsistent, hopefully with a decent preseason and a couple of new signings we will be a decent side next year though,
How do you think you will do against us? We always beat you at your place but we have been really hit and miss and the lads look tired I’ll go for a drab 0-0.
