Simmo’s left foot Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 They are in the same division as us on merit. We have a bigger player budget though. There is nobody in this division that wont come and make it hard for us to beat them. FlyBritishMidland, Ellafella and taffyram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramboy63 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Another performance on the levels of the last three games and i can see Burton causing us big problems Shocking last to home games and we weren't that great at Fleetwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the worry. However, another performance like that against Oxford and the second half against Wigan and we’ll blow them away. Which team will Warne pick and will the players turn up? As Warne often says in his interviews - we win together, we lose together. Whatever the performance/result, I very much see it as a shared praise or responsibility. PW needs to get the formation and tactics right but even if he doesn’t, the players should be performing better than they have on occasions. I don’t do predictions, all I’ll say is that I’m a tad nervous. This one feels particularly difficult to call. angieram, Adslegend and kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be given the ball to feet against Burton. He was a bystander on Tuesday because most if the first half the ball was hurtling through the air at cloud level on its way to Bradford defenders’ heads. 🙄 Derby4Me, Van der MoodHoover and angieram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three clear tracks where they do their little run ups. Touchlines are rough, a combination of linespeople and throw ins. Just because the ball's in the air doesn't mean footballers aren't running around on the grass chasing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been with Michael Duff at Barnsley and Swansea for the last season and a half (before being sacked). It's hard to say how he'll adapt to Burton's squad. If anything like Duff, he'll want to go with a 352 and a high press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerphilly Ram Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Waghorn and Forsyth out for “the foreseeable” with calf injuries. Ward injured and unavailable for Burton. Wilson nursing a hip problem could be unavailable. Washington due back next month. Rooney still out. Possibly thin on the ground for Monday 😳 Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRobinson has played RB before (for us and N.Ireland) but he's been missing since our EFL Trophy game against Wolves in November so may also be injured. The U21s also haven't played since December 15th so will be short of match fitness. Moore played in that game, and I would say he's some way off being ready for the first team. Perry (started RW in that U21 game mentioned above) started the last U18 game (vs Forest on Christmas Eve) but he came off after half an hour with an injury. Osayande, who came off the bench to make his first team debut against Wolves U21 and played RB, played the rest of that game. However, he's primarily a CB and is some way off being ready for first team football (especially at RB) It's unlikely that we'll want to move Nelson away from CB (as the next best RB option), hence why I think it would be Barkhuizen at RWB if Ward and Wilson are unavailable. Just now, Rambalin said: Could explain the return of Kwaku Oduroh from his loan. Oduroh was sent back by Rochdale where he was in and out of the side. He needs another loan to a National League or National League North side. Caerphilly Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidd10 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Any news on where Korey smith is? They seem to have reference every injury in that article except his. Think what you like about him in midfielder but he’s probably the 2nd best right back at the club after Nyambe. I’d have him there ahead of Ward that’s for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
