Looks like he’s gone with Josh as the single pivot in a #DoddsFirst. Normally I’d be worried at the lack of protection, but they’re not particularly good. And the further away from our own half we can keep Leahy the better. Geezer loves lumping it to their goalkeeper
We’re playing a lot more short distance passes than usual in possession. A good opponent to test it against. Maybe a sign of what’s to come for Dodds’ “in possession” transformation. It has been about 2 years in the making at this stage. Fun to watch. Not sure if it’ll pay off against better opposition.

Or injured?
Another attritional 0-0 sees a tiring Humphreys replaced by Westergaard, who hammers it into the Valley End net.
According to Dodds, he’s not injured although that may have changed since the interview last week.
Merlin's beard! I've been careening around this afternoon like a mad man only to discover it's a 2 o'clock kick off!
Good lineup. Should be more than enough to get through tonight comfortably on paper. Football isn’t played on paper!
Blame Sky, but this is a pitiful attendance for a team in 2nd place.
Let’s do it COYB!

Little Wycombe!!
It is Sky's fault tbf.
Reach giving us a wonderful option high up on the left with Leahy dropping back wonderfully.
Away fans might think the 1887 flags are our home attendance.
Yes! Yess!!!
Get in Dan
The floodgates are now open
Udoh ❤️
Kone’s a ******* genius. Every touch has been superb and that pass to setup Udoh between two defenders. Chefs Kiss.
I said it earlier, and I’ll say it again, Kone and Udoh together are going to be the new Cole/Yorke or Shearer/Sutton.
Happy days.
Caleb’s XG this season must be mental
It's not boring. Playing some really good football
We could win this 10 nil!

Kones strength is his recovery. Quite often his first touch is a bit rough, yet it bobbles back to him wherever he goes. It is a remarkable skill
We are playing really well so far
Playing very well. Should probably be 2 up. Given he hasn’t played much football Reach is looking decent. Kone and Udoh partnership working well.
BBC Derby commentators are saying this is the best team Burton have played all season.
To be fair Burton are one of the better bottom half sides we have played, they look too good to go down.
Think we’ve got a tiny bit complacent and maybe dropped down a gear. Need to keep focus and kill this game off.
Kone got a yellow for similar last game. Looks innocuous, but all pundits say risky, or could ve worse.
Very good first half until the last 5 mins or so. We should be 3-0 up
Huddersfield have missed a sitter at Wrexham. And had a goal wrongly disallowed for offside
Good performance so far - Started really well, last 10 or so minutes not carrying as much threat but still look very solid.
Impressed with Humphreys, when he’s playing well, the team seem to play well.
A win tonight would be huge, fingers crossed for the second half.
