Pre-Match View From Burton

Their away form is better than their home form (W5, D5, L7), but I'm hoping our superior home form sees us through this one (W10). A banana skin if they get up for it. Need our quality to prevail.
 
“A juggernought that could be turning, squad value 18-9 million,5 players valued about a million-3 internationals. Another hard working team we should get points off. They took the spoils at the Pirelli, but after about 6 seasons in div 1 our stadium would not faze them , Bramall lane now is a different ball game ,a hostile crowd and will encourage their team, Like Millwall will be in your face for 90 minutes ,any thing here will be a bonus ,weather maybe a stay of execution”

Wowzers........ I had to read that about a million times to make any sense of it.
 
“They called the game off on purpose. Same conditions and without under soil heating at the Pirelli, had this been a home Brewers match it would be game on. Sheffield Utd doing a ”Bradford”. Scared of little Burton.”

Don't flatter yourselves pal. If anything we called the game off so that we'd be better prepared for Fulham.... which worked out well. Anyway the real reason is because of our beloved SYP and Council are Health and Safety gone mad. Same reason we have to kick off early v Millwall, because they have no brains.
 
Clough is ideal for a club of their size, they need to watch out for what they wish for. If they got relegated they may not see the championship for quite a few years, we only know too well. :)

This did make me laugh though, “Anyone but him” “Anybody. literally anybody” :D
 
Thanks Roy.

Hard to believe there are some who want Clough out. They are punching well above their weight - here they are almost middle of March and level on points with Birmingham and above Sunderland.

In relative terms a better overall league performance this season than Wolves.
 
When did we become juggernauts? They were in this division first haha

We're underdogs :D
 
Scared of little Burton.
That's right, i hope they don't come and play expansive football knowing they'll outscore us.
I hope it was Clough who posted that!

When you do please let me know.
 



They think they'll need 47 points to stay up! Wow, Wednesday are in trouble!
 
Ah, Burton Albion. Bless their little cotton socks, they've done really, really well. If I could pat them on their heads, slip them all a shiny shilling, and give them my most patronising smirk in person then I would do.

“Well done boys. Now be good lads, and fuck off. There you go. Don’t let the door hit you on the arse in the way out.”

That’s what I thought. Wednesday have 38 now and such is the dross below I reckon even that will be enough.

Sod’s law innit. They’ll stay up with a record low points haul, if it were us we’d probably go down with about 52 points.

Thank you FF you've just cheered me right up! I just saw your post, thought "eh? aren't wednesday on 40 points since their win on saturday" - cos after fulltime whistle blew at Ipswich I turned me radio off, assuming Wednesday had won, and was too depressed about our result to look at any football media for 2 days...

...and now i find out they let in a last minute equaliser! No matter how much of a downturn our season might have taken schadenfreude is the gift that just keeps on giving, week in week out

Just looked up last two years.

Last season Blackburn went down with 51 points!

Season before 41 would have stayed up.

Or as CW would say, “if their players say yes”.
 
To be honest I take my hat off to Burton Albion, can't see them surviving but they have battled hard to retain their status unlike Sunderland who, despite having an excellent manager seem to have given up the fight already. Expecting a tough game tonight.
 
Have a feeling that if Ched gets on at some point tonight and has a reasonable game, come the end of the season if/when Burton drop down and providing Cloughie is still in charge, wouldn't surprise me at all if he puts in in a sneaky bid for him.
