The trialist is Jonathan Black and although there has been a lot of confusion with our trialists this season we believe this could be the 18-year-old Irish midfield player currently with Spurs.
The Larne born player currently plays in the Tottenham Under-19 team and has been capped by Northern Ireland at Under-15, Under-16 and Under-17 level.
He will be joined by long-term loanee Luke Chadwick who can no longer get himself into the first team starting line up and two of the new boys from last week in keeper Paul Rachubka and Bradley Orr.
Dean West and Graham Branch, both subs on Saturday, and Alan Moore the surprise omission are also in the strong Burnley team.
We will line up:
Paul Rachubka, Dean West, Ryan Townsend, Graham Branch, Danny Pitham, Luke Chadwick, Bradley Orr, Joel Pilkington, Alan Moore, Jonathan Black, Matthew O’Neill. Subs: Michael Hale, Neal Trotman, Joe Booth, Tom Ince, Rhys Carpenter.
Bryan Robson has recently put six players considered surplus to requirements on the transfer list but with no takers he is putting four of them in the shop window tonight.
The four on view are Gareth Edds, Paul Reid, Robert Wolleaston and Luke Cornwall. Some of them were regulars under Nicky Laws but Robson has decided they will not figure in his struggling first team squad.
He will select tonight from the following squad:
Clint Davies, Gareth Edds, Wayne Jacobs, Tom Kearney, Paul Reid, Mark Bower, Michael Standing, Michael Branch, Danny Forrest, Paul Evans, Ben Muirhead, Robert Wolleaston, Kevin Sanasy, Luke Cornwall, Peter Folkes.
