Burton Match Thread

- Start date
Only difference between the top side n us, is the fact they finished their chances,imho, Proccy was injured in a very late tackle after 8 mins n the ref NEVER even spoke to the guy ridiculous imho. The 3 goals came from 3 mistakes 1 Atkinson stuck his hand up to a cross hed failed to head, Penalty Goal1, Later Crooks who had a good game, tried to be too clever n gave the ball away result led to Goal 2, game over, then McCarten gave ball away result Goal 3, Coneely came on fer Proccy, still aint figured out why as he was hopeless, Hunty n Liddle were on bench,
Coley signed him, but not the other two. Simple.Coneely came on fer Proccy, still aint figured out why as he was hopeless, Hunty n Liddle were on bench,
Yer probably right, never even thought of that, Stupid sod i am.
Mcguire missed n open goal wi the keeper no-where in the goal. would have made one hell of difference in my view if he had netted.

First away game for a few weeks and came way really disappointed at the performance (not the result - don't expect much going away to top of league).
Team selection and subs again questionable, I appreciate the genius wants his 'own' players in but surely it's his job is to use all his assets whether he actually likes them if not, for the good of the team?

Missed the game today,didn't expect anything but has Piero dislocated his shoulder?,if so it's a massive blow
Dunno it looked like he hurt it, but he continued n fer me was our most dangerous player once again.
Top player with a big heart as well !!,need to get him signed up for next season
It is a dislocated shoulder Colemans just said in his video. Agree wi him about the Burton fans, was bang out of order continuing to boo piero after he continued.
Hope hes playing tuesday, think today will be put well behind us if he picks the right team.Agree with cashy. 3 mistakes = 3 goals. Both Atkinson and Crooks had good games - such a pity that their errors gifted 2 goals. I thought that young Jones played well too. The use of Conneely for Proccy made no sense whatsoever. How we missed Proccy - our midfield was non-existent. I had forgotten Maguire was playing until he missed that open goal.
I just cannot understand why our messiah seems to view what happens on the pitch with almost total indifference - unless it gives him a chance to speak to the officials. His sidekick did offer very occasional advice to the team until we went 2 - 0 down and then he disappeared. Contrast that with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and his assistant who were on the edge of their technical area throughout the game offering encouragement and giving advice.
It goes without saying that the officials were poor yet again.

It's a few years since I've been to Burton, in fact it was their old ground when we won the Peter Swailes trophy the season before we got promoted from the Unibond - wasn't impressed with their fans then & today hasn't changed my opinion of them one jot.
The score line definitely flattered Albion today, hope Proccy's injury isn't too bad but how their player got off scot free for it I'll never know

The little fat liner had a much better view than the ref n never even flagged it.
Funny, that. According to the Burton forum the ref had a good game! Proves he was a "homer".
I have another word fer him. They would say that seeing they got clean away wi crippling 2 of our lads.
I have listened to JC after match interview in which he holds his hands up for the mistakes we made butthen he said we can't finish our chances. Did we just not let our top striker go out on loan to Northampton??? If your had the best interest of the club at heart John, You would recall James grey immediately and play him upfront with Terry Gornall. There are noticeable experienced people being left on the bench. Come clean John you allow a grudge against players who disagree with your tactics to be forced out. you need to get a grip and realise you and the club are in no position to lose the talent we have. So put the club first. It has become obvious that you have written off the season . Your choice of players have not performed as we all had hoped. so back to the drawing board and start with a clean sheet and forget your prejudices, I am fully behind the club, team and Manager. But I reserve the right to make my feelings known and I am prepared to have them challenged on this forum or face to face. After all we all have an opinion.
I have thought about commenting on the game today but at the game last Saturday it was brought to my attention that my post match posts seem to start with "I've been on the bevvy all day but...." so I might wait until tomorrow.
Nah, I've been on the bevvy most of the day and still haven't made it any further north than Preston but, in my opinion we were unlucky for large parts of today. The penalty was needless and I've no idea what Atkinson was doing but that was the only way they looked like scoring.
As it transpired they got another two but they looked like individual mistakes rather than poor tactics.
Yes, we might have done better with different players but we could also have done better with the ones we used with a bit more luck.
I'm no Coley disciple or hater but I wouldn't blame him for today.
I'd say we are safe and that will do me this season despite the fact the missus keeps reminding me stevenage are above us even though she was cheering Stanley today

Didn't go to the game today so cant comment too much but when Proc goes off, I presumed he would have put Coneeley at the back and push Crooks into CM to get a bit of presence.
People saying bring Nicky Hunt or Liddle on, Where do you play them? in CM to replace Proccy?

Crooks remained in the middle of the back 3. It was difficult to work out what role Conneely had - maybe "static midfielder" would cover it. Liddle would have been the most suitable direct replacement - a player who can run and has vision.
