Burton Albion Pre-Match Thread (Sat 22 Aug 15:00)

[FoxesTalker]

The first home league game of the season.

[purpleronnie]

4-0

[Happy Fox]

Must win game… 

[FoxesWalk]

Let’s hope for less than 4 major **** ups when messing about at the back that lead to big chances, and for them to only score one of them. 

 

Another 1-1

I know it’s early in the season but this is a must win. 
Can’t have 2 games against Notts County and Burton without getting a win. 
I say that but we definitely can do that.

1-1 a Carbon copy of the Notts game.

We win 2-1. We go 2-0 up, then horrible mistake that means we are defending to survive for the last 8-10 mins. 

It's not pretty, but it's 3 points. People will complain. Others will ask for RM to have more time as the squad's not even complete yet.

I can imagine it'll get very toxic if we lose or go behind

[FoxesWalk]

Their whole squad is worth half a Wout Faes according to Transfermarkt… 😅

Watch them have no possession and get a result

Pop in for a chat - literally two minutes from the ground 

[CornwallFox]

This is depressing, isn't it

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Has to be a convincing win, anything else is another absolute disaster.

Could have said the same thing about County, who just came up from L2 via the playoffs 

[coolhandfox]

As sone others have said needs to be a convincing win and performance.

 

Need to start Bristric who needs to make his mark so he can't be dropped.

 

Hopefully Mavididi, Faes and Souttar gone minimum.

 

2 x CB in, another CF please.

Sell out home crowd, lots of momentum and feel good factor, aggressive and direct.

 

We still have a hangover from the last 2 years, was always going to be a bit of a challenge.

 

Burton will be a totally different, challenge will be a low block.

Skipp cost more than the entire Notts county squad.

Alves looks more comfortable on the left play him there.

[teblin]

This is where it all hits home. A league 1 clash against Burton Albion(no offence to them, I go and watch them quite a bit).

 

The mismanagement should start sink in for a few surely.

I do think he's better on the left but I don't think Burns has looked right yet and Watson has been really impressive every time he's come on.

 

I'd play him centrally with Burns on the right if Chaplin isn't ready.
