Burton Albion v Derby County

[Sparkle]

Whoever we play and even with the leagues top scorer I don’t see lots of goals scored by us in any games but hopefully they can prove different 

[TomG]

Burton Albion are on a 17-game winless home league run (W0 D4 L13), so you just know what's going to happen?  Or am I being too pessimistic?

We have won two games in nearly four months

One of us is due a(nother) beating.

It's got to be Burton hasn't it?

Heading towards the ground The Alfred’s decent, haven’t been in Derby Inn but sure it’s decent aswell. All nice real ales.

We all braced for Sunderland the sequel, the time it's Burtonal.

Excellent research by the BBC.

The only previous meeting at the Pirelli Stadium was last season on Boxing Day, a 1-0 victory for Burton.

Thats what @WystonRam means. Thats what the BBC put on their website about boxing day,

Whatever our thoughts on the manager,it's got to be the start of the final push today with no holds barred...

A good win,with goals for Nugent especially, is vital to getting any confidence up in anticipation of the 'harder' games to come.

COYR..

Is it just me that thinks Gary is on a potential Lose Lose here. We lose, or draw the forum will be in meltdown. Win by anything less than 3-0 and I see a meltdown too.

It wont be easy, Burton are going to be up for it, they cant stay up, but will be looking to give their fans a performance, its going to be a cup final for them.

Agreed but if we match them for effort then surely we have enough quality and experience to grab all the 3pts. If only football was that simple though. Personally I'd take a scrappy 3pts. That's all that matters at this late stage of the season. Plenty of time in the summer for an autopsy on how the season has gone.

Agree, I'd take a scrappy win, points are all that matters.

Think Nigel won't be too up for this one against his old mate Gary.

Good news as he was always mad for it when we played a team he really wanted to beat ie Leeds or Forest.

I really think he will be up for it.

He believes he should never have been sacked from Derby and I am sure he will love, again, to get one over on us.

Is this story about an injury crisis at burton just kidology from Clough. I bet dyer and Brayford will start for them. Bent is ineligible but I don't think they will miss him much.
