I want to see us press them and dominate possession.

But we had something like 70% possession against them and lost 1-0.

 

I say give them a taste of their own medicine, sit back and counter attack their leaky defence.

Put as much pace as possible, if we’ve got any.

No but it's Burton Albion - not frigging Wolves. We might lose, that's football but I find it incredible people are talking as though we've lost already. I expect to win based on nothing other than I believe we are better than them

 

Their fans say the same. We've played them twice in our history and lost both times.

Do you mean 3-5-2? Robinson and Little As wing backs backs. That’s the most attack minded formation we can go with I would think.

Play 4 at the back. With Robinson and Little in there.

 

If We play 5-4-1. Given Pratley and Henry both seem to hold we end up with 8 of the team deep. Even if full backs push up we are short.

 

First half at Barnsley V Second half at Barnsley

I lost count of how many wingers we had on the pitch 2nd half at Barnsley.

 

It was a desperate gamble that paid off but I wouldn't want to risk starting with that line up.

Neither would I. But I would not revert to the team that started.

 

I would swap Buckley for Vela from team that started Saturday and Little at right back.

Derby it is then

 

Or sheffield

 

 

Its a damn shame as I'd identified 2 or 3 really interesting sounding boozers (and the backup Spoons). There's a couple of places outside Derby station, but was looking forward to mooching about in Burton.

If you're chanting about German bombers & have got a scarf tied round your wrist, there's a good chance you won't get in the pubs, but i've always found that if you keep a low profile, you'll get in somewhere.

Fair point but some folk just look like away fans. The first time we played Brighton recently there was a bloke in Barnstormers wearing a blazer and drinking white wine, he couldn't have been anything other than Brighton.

How will Parky play this?

 

Settle for a draw (as usual) or full out attack ( 2nd half at Barnsley)?

Burton really need a win. I suspect we will sit back, keep it tight and hope we can nick one as they press more and more for a goal. All goes out the window if they get one early.

 

I should say - that’s how I see parky playing it. I’d rather take the game to them and try and get an early goal to knock their confidence.

You're welcome :)      I'm planning on just keeping marching round the town, filming myself singing German Bombers for my new vlog....I might also interview somebody else who's doing a vlog & they can film me interviewing them for their vlog.
