Burnley FC blog: Coyle's Cottagers conundrum
10:01am Friday 11th December 2009
OWEN Coyle might be operating with the smallest squad in the Premier League, but the availability of captain Steven Caldwell and on-loan striker David Nugent has provided the Burnley boss with options for the visit of Fulham.
In fact, it could even be considered a headache.
Does Caldwell come straight back into defence, where Andre Bikey filled in last week, and if so where does that leave the Cameroon international? Will he go back into midfield at the expense of Kevin McDonald, who did well in his first Premier League start and would probably thrive on a run in the side?
Does Nugent start alongside Steven Fletcher, after Coyle admitted he would have been tempted, if allowed, to play him at Portsmouth?
If he does, will it be Robbie Blake or Chris Eagles who is sacrificed?

I'd rather keep Chris than Robbie in the starting line up if one of them has to be sacrificed for nugent to play.
Its the left back position that's my biggest concern.
