  • New fanzine please buy cheers

  • One of my favourite badges. Fat man fails to control the ball. It’s a notably self-deprecating affair.

    I think he's actually about to score an incredible bicycle kick

  • It's happening today, on a Saturday ! As my old mum used to say... I can feel it in my water

  • “Burton badge bloke, ‘ya t*ts are offside”

  • We haven't won on a Saturday for 6 months now. Which means this is a 'must win' game.

  • That’s an extraordinary statistic.

  • After Tuesdays game, can see a 2-0 win today. Not worried about not winning on a Saturday for 6 months - could see the shoots of improvement and the team getting to know each other a bit better against Orient.

  • Has there been a player who actually had such a large gut. I'm thinking maybe 100 years ago they might have looked like that.

    Although, in fairness, I do look like that now!

  • Physics defying effort

  • I love the badge - in a world where clubs get an ounce of success and immediately discard their old badge for a glossy 2D soulless-but-smart crest (see Man City, Chelsea, Brighton), Burton’s badge is proof that you can rise up from non-league to the Championship with a rather large but well-meaning gentleman adorning their kit all the way.

    Inspirational.

  • You definitely do not @Twizz. Unless you’ve been putting away some seriously high calories since our long chat over coffee 15 months ago.

  • Agree entirely.

  • Why does he have concave shins?!

  • Very quiet on the Burton forum. They aren't expecting a win and hope Taylor doesn't break their hearts.

  • interest experience today watching the game alone.

  • Still no Breckin in the team or on the bench. Is he still with us? Has he returned to Man City?

  • Good to see Forino on the bench, hope he has recovered & cannot wait to see him & Low alongside each other.

  • Yeah, I think the club have sent Breckin back to Man City under the 30-day return policy for loanees.

  • It sounds it but over the last six months we have only played 6 games at home on a Saturday.

    Not good form at all but we last beat Burton on a Sat in Feb and we play Burton today.

    Fingers crossed hey ⚽

  • Bottom of the league, hapless, pointless Burton.

    Don't jinx it though.

    If they could get a super early red please

  • Boys looking sharp in the warm up.

  • A friend of a friend (a Bristol City man, I think) was surprised to hear that he was struggling, saying that his impression (not sure if based on reputation or from seeing the guy play) was that he was a strong (aggressive even) box to box midfielder.

    We don’t know of course whether a snap judgement was made that he wasn’t going to cut it or whether other wider reaching factors came into play. The availability of a larger number of midfielders than usual this season may also have been a consideration.

    Whatever the reason, I’m sure we all hope that his return to Maine Road (if true) will be a happy one.

  • If you want a jinx, these two teams have never had a draw against each other......

  • Sssh I don’t think @ReturnToSenda was being serious…

  • 9-8 to us (or Burton, can’t remember!) over last 17 meetings.

  • He once played against Josh Scowen.

  • I am thinking a frustrating, even controversial draw, in which we have the better of the game. I feel like it is going to take almost Marcus Bean levels of drama (and possibly the green kit) to win on a Saturday.
