So far under Fraeyes management the results have gone 2 losses, 2 wins, 2 losses, 2 draws. My money is not on another level result. What is it with this number 2?!!!!
Based on the last two performances against very weak opposition, it's very tough to see much in the way of optimism. I hope I can find an interim job and still be employed after producing this sort of shambles.
However, Bauer's return will make a difference and release our best player back into midfield. If Carol stops playing 4 strikers and added some strength in midfield (as per Linc's suggestion above) it might give us a half a chance of a point. With our usual one man midfield of Cousins (or Diarra) we will get wiped out.
Let's hope Mr Dyche has an off day or is overwhelmed with Christmas spirit and Mr Fraeye goes carol singing for the day.
I was there. Burnley had a player called Dobson and there was some kind of bad blood between him and Killer. It kicked off at the home game that season too.
Back to the present. 3-0 Burnley - if we're lucky!
It's nearly Christmas. If I knock back a few clarets before the kick off, I might believe we can beat The Clarets. However, I expect much whining at around 4.55pm.
6-0 Burnley ... one of the worst performances in the history of Charlton Athletic ... an utter shambles... Karel made permanent after the game .... Roland plan becomes clearer...

They play very differently to Brighton though (Burnley give up possession and sit deep) so we're unlikely to be able to hit them on the counter.
But a battling 1-1 draw isn't out of the question.

1-1 (ho ho ho)
or 3-0 (Ba humbug with own goal)
4.2 to The Clarets

If Lookman and JBG are injury doubts, I'd rest both of them. Diarra in midfield, maybe Ba as well. Vaz Te and Reza up top.
I can somehow see Morgan Fox playing as well
Henderson
Solly
Bauer
Lennon
Fox
Charles-Cook
Cousins
Diarra
Holmes-Dennis
Reza
Vaz Te
Subs: Pope, Sarr, Jackson, Ba, Moussa, KAG, Makienok

Save lookman for more winnable games over xmas
1-1
''Save lookman for more winnable games over xmas''
we can't beat Bolton, Rotherham, Leeds, Fulham, Huddersfield at home - what do you think our winnable games are?
Back to the present. 3-0 Burnley - if we're lucky!
“They have a recognisable style of play and we know what to expect there. We maybe go there at a good time, though. They haven’t scored in their last three games or won in their last six.
What is the betting that this is where they start scoring again

Haven't written a Christmas list for a while and I'm sure I've been good(ish) so got to be worth a try.
