We've only beat Burton once on home soil (including DVS) which confirms my suspicion that they are something of a bogey team for us. That one win was of course the 3-0 win on that wonderful day in August 2012, the first ever league game at our beloved NYS. Burton were merely lambs to the slaughter that day.
It was a surreal experience seeing 11000 Rotherham fans packed in, when you've been used to 3000 at Millmoor and Don Valley.
Now we're averaging a steady 8500, I sometimes wonder where the extra 2500 fans disappeared to and if they'll ever come back? Only an handful of times have we had our own fans sharing the south stand.
Anyway, Burton. Well organised, hard to beat and in all fairness a decent team. I hope it doesn't turn out to be a case of 'after the Lord mayor's show', rarely do we play that well twice in a row. I'll take an ugly flukey undeserved win though if needs be.
However my feeling is we will win 2-0. Crooks and Vassell the scorers.
