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

Anyone putting Skipp in the team at the base of the midfield hasn't been paying attention the last two games. The man is not capable of playing that role. He is so easy to press

[Foxin_Mad]

If he sticks with Reid im going to boo the ****, honestly that guy is ****ing pony, an epitome of why we are where we are. A shite limited footballer Journeyman jogging around for his last pay cheque

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.

Yeah i see the Posh on occasion and it felt a world away from us , but here we are. We should have grabbed Collins btw. Stood out massively in that Posh team.

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.

Could be a repeat of Northampton then, 800 passes between CBs and keeper

4141 to mirror RMs line-up from first 2 games

Alves on the left because that's his best position and the diminutive Braybrooke at the base because hopefully he can play forward unlike Skipp.

We can but dream of aggressive and direct football 🥹

Charlie Webster will score from the edge of the box after not being closed down.

Can't see Luke Thomas being part of a winning team again if im honest.

1-1

I can't see us causing Burton too many problems 0-0

[Fox seen in Norwich]

1-2 Burton

2 gifted goals to Burton due to poor passing around defence

Leics continue passing around and get a few half chances before scoring a late consolation in front of the 63 fans left in ground.

 

post match analysis is focused on comparing current team with the few other clubs that have been relegated 3 seasons in a row.

 

Russell Martin says we unlucky and team needs time to gel 🤢

Edited for you

[fox_favourite]

This is what I want 

 

GK - someone who knows when to just kick the ball away when being closed down and isn't brain dead

 

LB - not Luke Thomas

CB - someone without a brain fart moment syndrome 

CB - someone who can actually defend and lead

RB - JJ

 

DCM - someone who can actually win the ball back and keep it

 

RM - someone who can take in a man and actually cross

CM - box to box runner that has a bit of skill and can score goals. 

LW - same as Right wing 

 

ACM - creative sexy man that can score, create and dictate the game 

 

ST - someone who actually scores more than 4 in a season. 

 

Manager - who knows what the hell he's doing 

 

If Calsberg did Leicester teams.
