I went to the first game for quite a while on Saturday.

My thoughts?

We were played off the ground. Burton beat us to nearly every ball. I was stood behind the burton goal for both halves and I glad I have decent eyesight cause I reckon 80% of the game was played in the far half of the pitch. What I struggled to work out was why our lads persisted with the long high ball when the wind was causing it so much trouble. basically the ball was loosing all its lateral speed and dropping almost vertically out the sky so it was really difficult for the lads to knock it on for someone to run onto it. Burton on the other hand tended to keep it on the deck to good effect. I reckon Coley didn't subsitute as it was that bloody cold he was punishing the lads that were out there for not playing like we know they can

Still a superb end to the game which sent us all home cosy and warm inside. I'm still trying to find out who has been credited with the goal? I thought it was Mullin but in the NOTW the tiny write up said Roberts but the results page credited both to Paul?
