Burton post match reflections

[Yak]

Poor ?

Poor ?

Correct and where has everyone gone? Are the crowd injured as well?

[Tigerish]

We need a new goalkeeper don't we?
For 20 minutes in the second half it was men against boys.
A point flattered us
We lack aggression and this stems from the manager.

1 knew that last year, and got worse. Need more than a keeper.
2 men against infants…except for hero douglas.
3 a defeat would have too.
4 you know that, where is the proof?

5. The worse referring display in many a long year. He has form from before.

We didn't gel at all tonight. Got no wide right player. Martha should have been substituted at half time. Only Burton will know how they didn't go home with all the 3pts. Pleased for Douglas. Dawson not blaming him for anything with makeshift defence we had out tonight. Duncan can't have been any worse but Hamshaw not brave enough to start him.

A typical mid table league 1 match

And we think bbc reporting is bad??.

And yes, this is post burton relevant. Who would buy most of those players out there tonight. Hall and martha. Having a laugh.

[Pocket rocket]

We can?t play a simple pass it has to go long every time. We then conceded possession. Oof ball to Nombe and Martha doesn?t work. Putting Sherrif on in front of Hugill is criminal. Very poor tonight. Referee abysmal for both teams.
We?re just not good to watch.

How we get from some october performances to these two games is beyond me.

[Brin]

I?ll tek 12th tonight considering injury list we currently have. A bit of luck foe both sides, spence?s slip and their own goal plus both sides should have had a penalty?. What a poor ref he was shocking! Form table shows us currently 3rd only on goal difference to Mansfield and only 2 points behind Stockport, something is going right. Onwards and upwards bigger test on Saturday that?s for sure.

So what about the other 70 mins . I think we deserve some credit for a brilliant fight back boys don't do that against men they crumble. We could have won it at the end with a great chance for sheriff. There 2nd goal was well finished. But very fortunate to how it came about with the slip from spence , that's 5 games unbeaten now in the league , so the boys arnt doing too bad , bad decision from Dawson for first goal , but he pulled a great save off in, 1st half with his feet .Douglas was brilliant. Won all his headers and played simple passes , well done raffertey for helping him. Injuries again to weeken the team. So in my opinion the boys against men did well .. Burton are no mugs

We will ruin Nombe if we are not very careful, he chases no hope balls too much. He needs help, him & Wilkes we’re just getting a bit of a partnership back end of last season. The lads a poacher not an out & out striker.Still need that leader in midfield.

[avondalemiller]

Don't know what the situation is over injuries but that was poor. I've said it before that we will do nothing with Sherif up front unless Hugill is on to win the ball. The ball just keeps coming back time after time, it got no better in the 2nd half when Sherif came on. He's 6ft + and 5ft+ when he jumps. Then put the ball over when we could have pinched it. He's not the only reason why we played crap and got away with a point.
Neither was the Ref, who was shocking for both sides.

How many times did we go back instead of putting it in??? Rafferty was playing hell up with them for not getting rid when Spence slipped and they scored.

So disappointing performace all round underlined by putting Hugill on at the end, he should have been on when they went 2 up.

[Jocksgloves1]

Well I quite enjoyed it. Both teams played a bit of football. Yes, plenty of passes went astray, I thought that made the game more dramatic.
Even first half, but as on Saturday our opponents took the initiative and dominated the first twenty minutes, unlucky slip costing us dearly. Dawson's full length save at 0-2 kept us in it, and a game we'd have lost a few weeks ago was saved. If you didn't enjoy that, then there's no hope.

[Eternal Optimist]

I thought we looked reasonable in the last 20 minutes. Not so much for the first 70.

Even so, another good comeback, so the lads are showing some fight.

Lincoln Satdi will be a tough challenge.
