Burke
Probably our strongest team, although would play James.
Burke isn’t in our strongest line up. Going to be very open in midfield again. I would have JJ in too.
Same here. Not knocking the guy, but I don’t really get what WR thinks Burke will bring to the team.
Can't see us winning today, going for a boring 1-1
He's great at pressing when we don't have the ball and a Target for Ruddy when we do (not that I've seen his heading lead to anything for us). We also need some height for defending set pieces, we've got a lot of short players in other positions.
I'd much rather have James in the team than Burke - the difference in skill is huge, hopefully James will come on after 60-65 mins. Wouldn't mind seeing Ivan get a run out at some point as well, before Gardner at least.

Agreed, drop burke for JJ with stansfield up top. MIYOSHI and stansfield seem to be on the same wavelength as eachother. JJ deserves a proper run in the team

Burke has pace also.
A good start and an early goal this could be 3-0 win for blues.
Slow start and no early goal it could be a poor 0-0 or 1-1.
Dropping James is lunacy
Can only assume he's carrying a bit of a knock, otherwise I agree.
