Living La Vida Loca..Away to Burton on Toast, Sat 8th March 3-0'clock

[Gary the Enfield]

Not a great performance, but a great result and I’ll take that all day. I spent the afternoon sat in my hotel in Guimarães, scene of one of the greatest days of my entire adult life, watching the game. We’ve fallen a long, long way since that heady night, but if we can grind out the results like we did today, then we might just take a step back in the right direction.

Some decent performances today, my only gripe being the casual way in which we gave the ball away too often in the second half - Randall did it twice in two minutes, which gave them dangerous runs from wide late in the game. We then failed to stop the crosses coming in, basic stuff when you know what Burton are going to try and do.

Next step in to solidify a position in that top six and hang on to it. Another tough match coming up but we’ve no reason to fear anyone and every reason to be positive now.

Going to Braga v Porto tonight?

I considered it, but it’s pishing down, cold and miserable, so a decent steak it is instead

Hope you tried the Francesinha

Great to see all 3 starting centre mids getting goal contributions. First a little fortuitous, but a fantastic finish and what a way to win it by Sheehan when we're up against it and need a moment of brilliance.

Excellent first half performance. Total control and should have been a couple up
Great defending in the second half against a bit of a bombardment. Was surprised to see Randall come on, but needs must when players are being nursed back.

Forrester again, was immense!

Bring on Stockport. A real test, but what an opportunity to close the gap and cement our place in the top 6

Results could not have gone much better!!

I hope the gap doesn't close, cos if we win tomorrow night at Bristol (when Stockport don't play) we'll be in front of County when we host them...

Unless you mean the gap to the top three... which, yep, hopefully...

Another three-games week, then a fortnight on the grass with Schuey and the coaches before another derby double-header...
