Burnley injuries

[irishspur]

Just seen on sky sports that paterson and jensen both went off injured in the first half of their carling cup tie, great news for saturday, jensen is a man-mountain!

great news if jensen is missing,he is a great keeper.

If their keeper is missing thats a huge loss for them. I fully expect us to win on Saturday no matter who makes up our back four.

If we have any hope at all of pushing the top 4 we have to bounce back to winning ways. Had this been at Turf Moor I would be incredibly sceptical but at the Lane we should be beating a side who have woeful away form.

Nothing less than 3 points this Saturday.

I agree, I think the 3 points is nailed on on Sat. Of course, I felt the same going into the Brum match, although Burnley are going to try and play better football. I respect Owen Coyle in that he's found the balance between being Stoke/Brum, and being WBA.

Owen Coyle looks like a sensational manager, the first time I saw them play I had that feeling, but there is only so much he can do at present and I don't think that extends beyond pulling off impressive home wins at a vibrant turf moor.

I think spurs will win comfortably. I believe Burnley will stay up now despite extremely limited resources, but I think they will get a few drubbings along the way as well and I expect the game at White Hart Lane to be one of them.

Playing them at home is really a game made for spurs. I'm tempting fate I know, but that is how I feel.

Update from the Burnley site.

Clarets goalkeeper Brian Jensen could be fit to face Tottenham on Saturday but striker Martin Paterson is facing surgery on the knee injury he sustained in Tuesday night's Carling Cup defeat at Barnsley.

Both players were stretchered off during the first half at Oakwell, where Burnley went on to lose 3-2.

And boss Owen Coyle revealed that medical checks had revealed contrasting fortunes for the two players, who have been ever-presents in the Barclays Premier League so far.

"We have had mixed news on the two lads," Coyle confirmed.

"As we thought, Brian suffered a dead leg and I am hopeful he could be fit for the weekend.

"But the news on Martin Paterson is a little worse. He has tweaked a cartilage and will undergo an operation tonight (Wednesday), at which point we will know further how long he will be sidelined for."
