I do not get this love in with ex players, hindsight is a wonderful thing & Victors popularity has risen with every goal he scores for Burton , the trouble is he couldn"t score for us , he had to go .
It's not an 'ex player love in' from my point of view. The point that I was making (an issue that is possibly gonna cost us a play off place if its not addressed) is that our striker options aren't quite good enough. Cole has improved and done better this season all be it in league 1, fair play. Norwood isn't up to much imo. It's no good running around if you can't control or pass a ball very well. Aitchison shows promise but needs to fill art as a young man and gain the necessary strength that will add extra to his game. Aiden Marsh at 19 years old needs loaning out again because he needs games in order to develope as a player. Tedic wants sending back.


The head coach has worked incredibly hard to get the club into a positive league position with the squad he has at his disposal. It's glaringly obvious that we need some quality up front in order to mount a serious promotion challenge and build on Duff's great work so far. The board should back him and give him a couple of decent strikers to work with.
