Burton Albion Post Match Thoughts

[gru]

It's not looking good for Shane Ferguson, he left Burton with a protective boot on, sounds like a ' plantar facia issue' so don't expect him to play against Oxford.
Tutu took a knock to his ankle and he may or may not be fit for Saturday, assessment later in the week.
Odoffin can play Centre defensive midfield, Centre-Back and Right-Back. I doubt he will pick Odoffin or Kelly.

It won't make any difference what team he picks, they have to perform on the pitch.

What I've always thought Warney hasn't got it as a manager. Let's chairman dictate to him. Defence not been right all season. 2 goals last night we gave away was terrible defending. Up front only Smith good enough unless we see what Kelly can do. Ladapo & Kayode wouldn't even be on bench for me.

I will be amazed if I see the season out as it seems CAM has been tasked with homogenizing opinion on here and anyone that disagrees with the mob eventually gets the boot.

So yes I will be gone soon, leaving you to clap and cheer this team over the cliff edge.

You have plenty of people on here who have been critical of Warne and there have been eloquent arguments both for and against. At your most lucid, yours have been points well made. But at other times you are coming over as hysterical, petty and quite vindictive. Must cost you a lot of energy. Unless you are simply trolling, in which case perhaps join an am dram group to direct your energy a little more productively?

He's got absolutely no gonads whatsoever. Cutting through all the crap he's on about bailing out because the going is getting too tough... 2nd in the league.... promotion to Championship still in our own hands with only 3 games left.... tough! Try telling that to a Scunny or Oldham fan. "There but for the grace of the imaginary man in the sky go I" and all that.

Anyway, it’s s**t or bust now and the tough run in “on paper” is probably better than so called “easy fixtures”. There’ll be no hiding place on Saturday or next Tuesday. If we don’t turn up we’ll get hammered, simple as that. Ending up in the play-offs now would just draw out the agony.

The stars are finally aligning and we’re about to find out exactly what this team is made of. If it unravels badly as IBS predicts (yearns for?) then, in my opinion, the Warne era will be over.

The problem with Odoffin is the total lack of game time he has had this season.Quite remarkable for the marquee signing of last summer.He will be as under cooked as the rest of the squad are over cooked.....except Kelly that is,who is still in the freezer!

I have to agree that if this season ends badly it will be hard to imagine Warne in charge next term.I'm not demanding he goes but I think there will just be a general feeling between the board,the supporters and Warne himself that things have run their natural course.I believe it nearly ended when we were relegated last season so I think a capitulation following on from that maybe one disappointment too many.It will be nearly 6 years since he took over by August and that is a long time in modern day football.

Does he even exist? I keep seeing this tall bald headed athletic looking chap in shorts and a training top warming up with the first team but for whatever reason, he doesn’t even get included on the subs bench????

[The Hillsborough Miller]

We would rather have mattock on bench than any of the others

I think it was all about getting 'a project' on the cheap when we signed him and had nothing to do with using the January transfer window to bolster our squad for a promotion push.If we had wanted that we would have signed Stockton from Morecombe or Stockley from Charlton but they would have been far more expensive.Remember Kelly signed a 3 1/2 year deal but the 6 months added on was purely to grab him before the summer so no one else did. By the time next season kicks off ,Kelly will have gone nearly a year without ANY form of competitive action.It will be interesting to see how this 'project' works out and they obviously fancy their chances because of what they have done with Smith ,but with Kelly at just 25 and Smith at 31 they will hope to be on the right side of age this time to benefit from the fruits of their labour.

[Pocket rocket]

I still think we can do it. Call me deluded whatever you want.
I don’t understand some of our so called supporters and no that doesn’t mean if you criticise your one of the ones I’m on about. It’s like they can’t wait for us to lose some of them.

We need 6 points of course we’re capable of getting them. I’ll keep supporting the manager until the season is over with then I’ll make judgement.

3 points Saturday and we are nearly there.

Wednesday will not have it easy down at Wycombe on Saturday.

Never said they would have it easy at Wycombe MillerBill, no one has it easy at Wycombe. They have the momentum and the incentive to finish second.
If they do win the last three and finish second they will have deserved it on merit. Meanwhile we are scratching around in an attempt to win two of the last three.
Don't care what anyone says Michael Smiths season started to go downhill when Will Grigg got injured. Smith looked much more comfortable with Grigg alongside him. Plenty of permutations of what can happen starting this weekend, let's hope the Oxford game goes out way.
