Re: Match Day Thread: Burton
I'm getting more and more resigned to us getting pipped by Wrexham. Not because of anything we've done. More because they've received an inordinate amount of luck this season
If you actually watch them (as I have four times over the last few weeks), you realise that they're not even very good. There's very little skill or technical ability in that team. I think they're about 15 points better off than they should be, but almost every little thing has gone in their favour over the course of the season. Howler refereeing decisions in their favour every other game, a slew of completely undeserved wins, a never-ending stream of last minute winners
It's astounding, and I think their promotion is written in the stars / by Hollywood I'm afraid
Re: Match Day Thread: Burton
There are no easy games when you get to the business end of the season.

Re: Match Day Thread: Burton
We've gone from "I couldn't watch that every week" to "Why don't they want to watch that every week".
Re: Rav Vs Norris (Poll)
Norris best option for me. Far more convinced by his commanding of the box.

It's a real source of embarrassment. Players deserve better than these pitiful crowds

Re: Match Day Thread: Burton
Our run in does look pretty scary. But we have proven over 30+ games that we can mix it with anyone.
Re: Match Day Thread: Burton
That was a really solid performance tonight. Everyone played their part and I can’t think of anybody who didn’t perform. Leahy was brilliant, the lads at the back were solid as usual and Udoh was playing with an extra bit of determination.
In terms of Burton, I’d be happy if we had Crocombe on our books as he made some great saves. In terms of outfield players, Lofthouse was their stand out player.
The majority of results have gone our way and this place should be a lot more upbeat heading towards the weekend. We have to fancy our chances of picking up another 3 points at the weekend.

Re: Match Day Thread: Burton
Total professional performance.
Kone was superb. Leahy superb. Humphreys was outstanding.
Thought Reach had another good game. Grimmer was superb both defensively and offensively. Josh the usual bulldog bossing the midfield. Thought Fred had a better game today, a couple of wayward passes but much improved. Love Udoh’s workrate, running all the time like at Birmingham. Great goal and could of had at least one more.
Nothing to say about our boys at CB, they’re just machines. We’re so lucky, Especially with someone as good as Bradley on the bench.
Norris with a great save in second half.
Can’t say too much about the subs, Lowry looks very exciting, Westergaard did nothing wrong and had a nice link up with Lowry and Reach. Bakinson looked positive today and moved the ball forward with a couple of nice touches and a good through pass.
Wrexham have taken the sheen of the result for me; I don’t mind if they win, it’s how they win. Surely their luck is going to run out at some point? We just have to focus each game. Destiny is still in our hands for the autos. Bring on Peterborough!

Re: Match Day Thread: Burton
That touch from Lowry to pluck the ball out of the sky was something special. The crowd gasped.
Re: Match Day Thread: Burton
It is Sky's fault tbf.
Reach giving us a wonderful option high up on the left with Leahy dropping back wonderfully.
