Bouza was a bit late and dangerous with some of his clearances. 2nd half was alot better but not as good as previous games. The ref was poor, not one of the yellow cards for either team where deserved, main stand side linesman was also poor. Burton where naive and have alot to learn, but they should survive.

I agree with all that. The conditions were very difficult but we mastered them better than Burton did and our domination increased as the game progressed. I wholeheartedly agree with DAV007's comment about John Miles. In general, I feel that his contributions are often undervalued, but Tuesday night's pitch and conditions would have been ideal for him.
