We are never able to guess team selection now no idea how they may line up. Just cant believe Burn should play anywhere but CB but surely hasnt been selected over Dutch international there. If he plays anywhere else sorry but many better players in squad. Never thought we would get to stage where somebody is selected because they are tall.
Lets have peoples thoughts on how we will line up.

Yes he has. Did it a few times at Newport.
Back four, with March as a conventional winger, perhaps?

Burn

Likewise, passed more to the opposition last time out
Potter CANNOT be playing Burn at left back.

Squad rotation is playing a big part here. Lets not forget, we play Arsenal in a little over 50 hours time.
GP has discussed this a few times I believe. I don’t think RB is necessarily his position. He likes to give youngsters a run out in FB to give them game experience in a position that has a little less responsibility.
However I do agree with your concern. As Alzate is a special talent, and I’m slightly confused why he’s not featuring that much.

Does it really matter unless you’re TB and have committed £370m of your own money into it? No.

Possibly long Covid sufferer but then why anywhere near the squad if not quite right. It’s a strange one.
Burnley have 3 wins, many others have lost more than us. We’ve drawn a ton.
Maybe judge at the end of the season. Long way to go yet.

Yes this. West Ham are a very good team who are tough to break down and I'm looking forward to seeing the lads really show some good application for some periods.Personally, I’m just going to take some positives from the performance and learn something

I can only assume Veltman isn’t 100%.
Burn playing because of the threat from West Ham set pieces, even though he never seems to actually head the ball.

Wins the most number of headers per 90 minutes in the team.
Frankly, I'm getting a bit tired of the lazy criticism of Potter's selection policy. He's been up all night picking the team for this one.

We are not good enough to play squad rotation! I hope my words come back to bite me, but I am totally baffled by this constant chopping and changing
