Burton Albion Post Match Thoughts

[CASPER-64-FRANK]

The Tiv end did us proud yesterday, in good voice even when we were pegged back to 1-1.

Referee had a very good game, certainly proved me wrong.
On previous form I had him down to be handing yellow / red cards out constantly, just shows how wrong you can be.
He allowed the game to flow , although it wasn't a dirty game with over the top tackling and deliberate timewasting from both sides.
He looked to have missed the indirect free kick however the linesperson on that side had it covered.

Well done Sam Allison.

I think some of our supporters are getting carried away. We can’t dominate every game and at times we will have to dig deep. Bloke in front of me shouted it’s embarrassing Warne sort it out second half. I quietly told him only one thing embarrassing mate and it’s arrogance from us thinking all of a sudden we’re better than everyone else.
Don’t get me wrong I can’t see us losing that many but we will have periods when we have to dig deep.
There number 10 yesterday at times was too strong for us. Wiles will have learned a lot from playing against players like that. Enjoy the run were on and accept that other teams are gonna have a go at us.

REG waving to the crowd before the game ?

Hope it wasn't Bye Bye

He’s does that most games and after final whistle (others should take note) but I won’t be surprised if he’s goes back which will be a massive shame

Stay here Reg you know it makes sense 😀

Yes the ref wasn’t bad, only got me shouting for the back pass so credit to him and only producing one card 😳

Although Burton were good in the 2nd half, in the first half we looked 1 or 2 leagues above them. I certainly wouldn’t say they are the best team we’ve played this season.

Yes I'd agree with this. There are a lot of teams who have come to the nys this season and played very well for parts of the game. Burton , Gills for ten minutes, Portsmouth, Sunderland and there's quite a few more. But the game lasts for 98 minutes or so and unless they can match us for most of those of those minutes there's only going to be one outcome with our current squad.

I think just Fleetwood and Charlton Mastered or equalled us this season. The rest are not even close

Ferguson’s best work was done in our own half yesterday. He defended well. Didn’t seem to be able to get forward.

Vickers is he fit? Sooner have him in goal commands his area better. Victor from corners he's a weakness.

We were the only team in L1 to score 3 yesterday and no other team bettered our goal difference (+2). It’s the first week a gap has started to appear at the top of the table. We just need Wigan to slip up again with that game in hand. The futures not looking rosey, it’s looking RED! Goal difference is going to be so important this season

[Scum-Triumphant]

Only Liverpool in English football have scored more goals in all completions than us.
67 Liverpool.
63 Rotherham.
57 Man City
53 Fulham
52 Chelsea / Port Vale.

I think it's a byproduct of not losing for so long. Short term memory bias and all that. When we lose a scrappy 1-0 to some donkey team down the lower end of the league we will all soon remember the beauty of winning 1-0, by any means necessary. It's a wonderful time but alien, we're Rotherham United, we don't understand how to process such runs.

I agree with what you've said though.

There's very little between them, agree about Vickers being more commanding. Not to the point of Viktor being a weakness, Vickers is just stronger in those scenarios.
