What is it with playing Palace at the Cottage? they’re becoming quite a “bogey team”.
Harry Wilson scored what could well be the goal of the season, at least until his next one!
ESR was unlucky to have his goal chalked off for Chukwueze? having a big toe off-side, I wish the off-side rule could be changed back to clear daylight, when technology needs to be used to find such small margins it really sucks the fun out of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well we get to face another “bogey team” in the form of Burnley, managed by Scott Parker<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over on the forum our very own “stats man” Ludlow Richard<\/em> posted the following…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know I’m jumping ahead but I was prompted to post by Burnley’s result yesterday. 
On the one hand we have not won at Turf Moor in league or any cup since 21 April 1951.

That amounts to comfortably over 27000 days (if anyone is counting) since our last win there. In that time we have lost 25 times at Turf Moor, drawn 7 times and won none. Trying to be positive we are currently on an unbeaten run of two at Turf Moor (two draws).

On the other hand, yesterday saw their sixth league defeat in a row, three at home and three away, scoring just 4 goals and conceding 13 in that run.

So looking at Burnley’s current form, surely we must break this horrendous run. Or will we contrive to find some  way of not winning there once more……. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turf Moor has not been a “happy hunting ground” for us over the years, our record, for the previous 8 games, home and away, going back to 2016, is not good with only 1 win, 5 losses and 1 draw.
Although we’ve not won at Turf Moor since 1951, there has never been a better time for that statistic to change!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assuming Sess’ is available my team would be…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
