Interim manager Gary Mills has done a good job in the four games he's been in charge of Burton amassing 7 points with (surprise?) wins over Blackpool and Shrewsbury following a draw with Charlton after being battered by Oxford in his first game That's put them clear of relegation trouble for now.

As if we didn't know what to expect from Burton, I reckon we can double down on that now Mills has taken over as he's taken a struggling team and "gone back to basics".

Good article here on how he's going about turning the Brewers season around - a decent guide to their game plan - (don't faff about at the back - get it forward to Kamwa, Baah and Lubala to have a run at every opportunity and defend en masse when out of possession, with Brayford the anchor)

We should have enough to dominate possession and win - just need to keep an eye out for getting mugged on the break.

Both!

The former is a Huddersfield fan.

Does anyone know if you can still get into the ground a while after kick off.?  Because of work I’m only going to be able to get to this at 3:30pm just don’t know if it would be a wasted trip.

If your turnstiles aren't open, go to reception. That's what I did a few years back anyway. I was escorted through another entrance and round the pitch to my block.

Appreciate that, will try it if needed 👍🏻

Any win will do please 

Would like / expect to see Forrester in for Jones but on left and Toal switching to right. Forrester looks ok either right or left where Toal definitely looks more comfortable for me on right than left, had a great spell on right of back three last season

I regularly turn up for night matches ,sometimes into the second half .

No problem getting in , if struggling go to the main entrance.

Shit fan 😀

I've always been under the impression the turnstiles remain open until half-time

Feel he will keep the same back line, but drop forester in for Jones

I know someone who works on the turnstiles and I'm sure he said they have a rota for doing the late turnstiles that stay open till half time, most of them close about 10 minutes after KO.  Most operators stay and watch the match, and see most of the 1st half not just the 2nd half.

Ah right, good to know

I reckon we'll scrape a 1-0 with Vic bagging against his old club but I'm hoping we do a number on these tomorrow, like Morecambe in recent seasons they know how to get under our skin, rattle us & get us off our game. Them being usually organized, stubborn I think it'll be a game for Paris to get on the ball & make things happen.

Fuck Burton. Boring yellow long ball cunts. Hope we score early and put 5 past them. 

I have a vague recollection of turning up at burden when the second half started and the big gates would be open so you could just walk in and watch.

Much as i do prefer Forrester on the left than Toal, I think Forrester links in better with Dacres Cogley going forward then Toal does so I’d leave Toal on the left for this one with Will replacing Gethin on the right. I also actually think we’ll miss Jones’ forward play more than we think.

3-0 Whites

Big Vic, Sheehan, Celine.

Were they one of the no marks who wanted us shut down ?

Fuck ‘em anyway, just to be sure.

We need some atmosphere in the ground tomos it’s been lacking lately ,the way the team has battled back to the top they deserve  it , everyone should join in and not just rely on others .if only we could have those Lincoln away fans behind the goal  plus another 2 k  at home ,think that’s what we’re missing ,maybe give us the south stand and the away in the west lower . Club should ask the fans  if they want it  .

 

 

 

 

That doesn't make a lot of sense.

Besides buggering season ticket holders about, there are logistical changes that would be required in terms of managing away fans and the away car park.

That would seem bizarre, for anyone that's struggling for cash watching the 2nd half for free seems very tempting!

I do remember the gates being opened with maybe 10 minutes plus to go in the 80s and 90s, sometimes if I was in a rush to get away I'd exit the Burnden Paddock around 80 minutes and jog up behind the Lever End and watch the rest in there.  I remember getting in the Lever End just in time to see Jim McDonagh's kick v Carlisle sail into the net, I'd have missed it if I'd delayed 30 seconds.  (40 years later our keeper virtually did the opposite, handing Carlisle their 3rd goal around the same stage of the game!)

Was it not Burnley our goalie scored against??

Oh yes, it was Burnley, not sure why I thought Carlisle although we did play them a fortnight earlier (just checked fixtures).  Burnley was our 5th home win in a row, including Blackburn too, and we still managed to get relegated.

Now getting giddy. 3 crosses into the box and 3 goals for Vic
