They have a good record against top teams they were the better team against lincoln recently, and last night bolton nicked a winner late in injury time ,I hope fans realise this is not a given.

I saw them v Lincoln and I thought they were the better (footballing) team for large parts of the game and held possession well. For this reason I think we’ll beat them, as opposed to being big, physical brutes (though we do cope well with those teams now too).
0-1 to us I’ll say.

We should beat Burton if we turn up. Player for player we are much better.

They beat us at home with 23% possession.

Will need to finish the game off in the first half I think.

Crazy how we lost that game. All over them, Salech had a legitimate goal ruled out and they scored with their only chance. We should beat them tomorrow. Hoping for an OK ref.

I think we are a better team now than we were then.
I don't see us having any problems tomorrow

Agree it won't be easy.

In the home game, as soon as they lost the ball every one of their players retreated into their own half.

They were happy for us to have as much possession as we wanted up to the edge of their box and we just could not find a way through them.

I would imagine that they will need to be a bit more forward thinking tomorrow and hopefully that will play into our hands.

Hopefully we can get the three points.
