Evatt em. Skid marks at the Pirelli. V Burton Albion Away, Tues. 15th Feb.1945.

[Worthy4England]

I still feel sorry for Burton fans. Paying to watch John Becks Cambridge reincarnated. It’s akin to playing snooker on a minefield.

Oh please. They are three nil up and have been a lot more exciting than we have to watch.

Can’t be considered a good side if you can’t come to places like this and mix it when necessary.

Yes, their three set piece goals were thrilling…

I know which set of fans are happier right now.

Are we Arsenal in disguise?

[officer_dibble]

Every trick in the book. Refs shite.

Three times more exciting than we are with nought.

Can’t stand this sort of nonsense. Football is all things all styles. We are so soft we just can’t cope.

[The_Gun]

Obviously their fans are happier, but I’d hardly say they’ve been ‘exciting’.

[DJBlu]

Shit up top too.

No chance of getting anything out of this with what we have up there.

[DJBlu]

Dempsey again ffs, first time pass is on. Holds then passes it out for a throw.

Oh give over! Yes it’s poor we’ve shipped three from set pieces but it’s a fecking park pitch set up so that throw ins and corners are king. If that’s as good as it gets to be a Burton fan I think it’s a bit shit! That Hamers only on the pitch for his throw ins

Well we certainly ain't on tonight's performance...So on balance I'll still take a 3-0 lead thanks (in fairness, I'd take a 1-0 lead)

Anyhow as an aside. I have to say (and I know we can't expect everyone to hit the ground like Charles/Flossie) - I'm not yet convinced by Dempsey, DadBod or Sadlier (for us, I thought he was pretty good for Rotherham)...

That doesn't mean I'm consigning them to the shit bin, just that they've not really convinced me yet.

[Harry Genshaw]

Well I'm glad I made the effort

[Mar]

Burton are giving us a prime example of what I want us to be when in plan b. Hard to be all things to everyone and I'm glad with what sort of side we are and what type of football we play but like insane has said we have to be better in matches like this to be considered a good side.

At the moment we're good in parts and have been naive today. We can do better.

[LeverEnd]

Good god! Just got away from training and saw the score. WTF?

Let's give 'em all a rest, they've played 4 games.
Ohhh, that pitch is a bit muddy, how could we possibly play on a L1 muddy away pitch.
We're just waiting on someone to post "That's not proper football" and we're there!

[The_Gun]

Everyone’s been shit tonight to be fair, so loathe to single anyone out.

[Harry Genshaw]

God, we're bad in the air at both ends

[Worthy4England]

Everyone’s been shit tonight to be fair, so loathe to single anyone out.

Yeah - wasn't singling them out, just commenting that they hadn't convinced me yet

[officer_dibble]

Piss poor all round. Won’t argue with that.

[GhostoftheBok]

edit:

Ridiculous prediction.

Certainly wasn't a prediction, but I am prepared to take full responsibility for the current scoreline.

Or would be, if it wasn't just a case of not preparing properly for them.

[officer_dibble]

Got to be some half time subs. Bakayoko and Dempsey off for me. Dion and Morley on.

[GhostoftheBok]

Williams was limping like a lame horse at times, which is really not good.

Mine was!
