A much stronger team than i was expecting.

[AJ 1,218]

Interesting stat, in the last 4 games against Burnley they remain undefeated, winning 2 and drawing two against us.

It is also the first EVER meeting between the two sides in the FA Cup

[AJ 1,218]

Definitely, I was expecting Wilbraham to start as well as Francomb, who isn''t even on the bench!

[paul moy 235]

A good cup run may attract players to the club so it may not be such a bad thing as long as we can stay clear of injuries to key players.

Wonder why no Pilkington?.....................................

Shush now, don''t start pushing ideas in to peoples heads ;). I''m sure he''s just been given the day off. Ruddy isn''t on the bench either..

Anyone found any links to watch the game?

[HazzaJet 252]

Probably to keep them away from possible injury. I''m surprised Holt''s starting - I thought it would be Wilbraham instead.

[Barclay Kid 0]

Can''t find a link either. Would have been a good game for Francomb to play alongside Rudd in. Maybe even a game for the likes of Dawkin to be on the bench.

Listening on BBC commentary from radio lancashire. They are saying their support is out of this world coz they have taken 900 !!! Ha ha ha

[Barclay Kid 0]

Our first clean sheet this season?

[yoda 0]

Blimey.

[AJ 1,218]

2-1 Cleansheet gone, Rodriquez header

[Christov 3]

Still no clean sheet, at least we''re never boring to watch!

[Herman 9,717]

Commentator did his homework on Croft,but not Crofts[:S]

[Jarrold Lad 0]

Peno ! Holt missed it !

[HazzaJet 252]

First spot-kick Holt''s missed for us!

[HerefordCanary 0]

Out of interest do you think if Holt misses another penalty then Hoolahan will start taking them again? I remember Holt said Hoolahan could take them until he misses two then they''d swap.

[shefcanary 2,388]

Rodriguez - a potential signing perhaps, buy now and loan back for rest of season soo no others get their mitts on him?

[Bryangunnshairline 0]

Andrew fox? And we played direct football last season apparently
