Being investigated for match fixing, after achieving promotion they fielded five non regulars against Reading (who are struggling against relegation) they drew 0-0, fellow strugglers Huddersfield felt cheated & lodged a complaint.
This has happened on numerous occasions in the past & my opinion is that if a team doesn’t field their strongest side then they are not only cheating other teams but also the fans that pay to come & watch, Burnley say they were trying out fringe players to see how they faired in the first team, this is bollocks as that is why you have reserve team matches.
