Burton Albion Match Thread

One positive from the game so far, Skipp won’t be playing for the next three games! 

[Will1981]

Dumb and Dumber passing it between each other when they know only 30 seconds of half left sums this game up.

Burton have gone far too passive since the sending off… so maybe.

Sod it, I'm going shopping.  I normally get back before it ends, so...

Good bit of play, shows a route back into the game.

 

Cant wait for 400 passes of nothingness as this fizzles out now. 

playing a couple of quick passes and a cross in? not the way, there's not room for 500 passes between the CBs in there. Martin will soon stamp out that sort of move

One negative, arise Hamza Choudhury

We don’t even know what our best 11 is going to be yet. Several more outgoings and incomings too in the next week. We probably won’t start properly clicking until October at the earliest. Maybe November.

 

 

And, unfortunately, those calling for Martin to go can absolutely forget it.  He’s just signed a 3 year deal… do you honestly think we can afford to pay up his contract?

 

its going to be an arduous season

Every one of you who renewed, this is for you. 🤣🫡

 

 

[KFS]

Okoli

Skipp

Thomas

Cullen

Souttar

 

All ****ing shit 

[CornwallFox]

Understandable unhappiness at our senior players and board but I fear when the crowd turned out youngsters looked frit. Burton gained even more confidence from that. 

Fair play to the lad on the right, he's done sod all for two games but he dragged us to that goal. 

We really need to scrap everybody over 25

[lee7]

Bristrics movement has impressed me. 

He is constantly on the move and makes intelligent runs. It's a pity that no f*clear picks him out. 

 

 

Our goal came from being direct and getting balls into the box. If I was Martin that would be my message for the second half.

Why would Macquire do that. All the loans advances on transfer fees owed to us.

They arent, they are advances on parachute payments to keep the club afloat because of cashflow issues. If they get a feeling the club cant honour our commitment to paying them back they will call it in.

[HankMarvin]

3 interceptions vs 11 because our passing is soo slow and predictable 

[Spanner73]

The saviour is on now so we’ll be alright “Hamza Maldini”

Chill lads I’m here !!

They are okay but overhyped. They aren’t going to carry us. 
 

We needed to buy players around them that aren’t utter dog shit. 

 

They're not overhyped. Nobody has been sating that they're PL quality players but they're clearly good enough for this league. Aluko probably the worst of the bunch and he's still a billion miles better than that little dweeb on the other flank.

 

The signings look a mixed bag. It's more that we've still got all the shite here from last year, starting games

It’s quite clear the centre backs don’t suit him and he can’t do much about skipp as no one wants the ****er. These are major parts of the team we can’t do anything with and it’s so so annoying 

[lgfualol]

For the love of christ, I don’t want to see Thomas in an inverted role linking up with Hamza. Those two are useless.

[Fox85]

Just take the whole defence off and play Aluku back there and the result will still be the same.

 

 

[Slab Edd]

I really hope this first half performance shows him we really can't trust some of these players,Liam Cullen I know is new but he's not had a single good game yet.

Oliver skipp, I don't think that's a red personally but it's really funny how the game bypasses him so much that we have genuinely lost nothing with him going off,in fact, we've become better at defending their transitions since.

[shailen_patel4]

For once I’m glad I didn’t renew 🤣 this is gonna be a long and painful few months.

Yep. It's hard to fully tell not being at the ground but he's done an awful lot do running off the ball 

[foxile5]

This is grim.

Oh of course. Just like Rodgers the bloke lives for the puff pieces in the press about ‘playing football the right way’. 

[Jattdogg]

I am subbing myself out from this thread. On to more positive things today like cleaning the toilets.

 

Enjoy!

that cannot be accepted. Either we hit the ground running and get straight back up or we go bust
