" Injury concerns "

The Bluebirds have far from a clean bill of health

We’re waiting on Rickie Lambert, Lex [Immers], Jazz [Richards] took a twist on knee, Freddy [Gounongbe] has trained and Peltier is back


RICKY LAMBERT:
Paul Trollope: We’re still waiting on Rickie, there’s still hope for tomorrow. There was a lot of tightness in the area (glutes/hamstring) and it stiffened up in the warm-up and the shot he took left him raw. He’s responded well to treatment so there’s a chance but whether he will be back time; we’ll tell after the session today. It would be a lift because any manager wants their best players on the pitch.

Burton Albion

Full name: Burton Albion Football Club
Nickname(s): Brewers
Founded: 1950; 66 years ago
Ground: Pirelli Stadium
Capacity: 6,912 (2,034 seated)
Chairman: Ben Robinson
Manager: Nigel Clough
League: Championship
2015–16: League One, 2nd (promoted)

Burton Albion Football Club is a professional association football club based in the town of Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, England. The team play in the Championship, the second tier of English football. Burton Albion competed in the non-League of English football from their formation in 1950 until 2009, when they were promoted to the Football League.

The club's home ground is the Pirelli Stadium, having moved from Eton Park in 2005, and their nickname is The Brewers, stemming from the town's brewing heritage dating back hundreds of years.


Pirelli Stadium



The Pirelli stadium was opened in 2005 and has a capacity of just under 7,000 with 2,034 seats. Unusually for such a new build, 3 of the stands are terracing and only the main stand is all seated. The three terraced stands are on a fairly generous gradient and are primarily favoured by the more vociferous home fans. Despite the terracing it's a nice modern stadium able to cope with large crowds and is a traditional lower league English football ground. There are 9 executive boxes and a large conference room big enough to hold 300 people built into the main stand.

Up to 1,200 visiting supporters are offered terraced accommodation in the East Stand Terrace behind the goal. There is a small number of seats made available within the main stand if demand requires the extra tickets. Views of the pitch are
excellent whilst facilities and acoustics within the stand are as you would expect for a new ground.

Sorry but after watching last nights abysmal performance I cannot see anything except a very heavy and embarrassing away defeat for us. Burton to win by at least 4 goals and the end of Paul Trollope.

2-0 to the Mighty BREWERS

You can see on this site I have predicted the last five matches correct.Burton win 2-1

Our ability to score has Gone for a Burton.

Cardiff are a wounded animal and Burton will be licking their lips

By Nathan Blake

29/09/16

Burton have started really well and will be salivating at the knowledge that Cardiff are coming. They'll have identified games that they felt they had to win at home and Cardiff wouldn't have been one of them. Now they will be. It's like a wounded animal, when you're down people will want to take advantage.

They'll want to stop Cardiff having a sniff, keep a clean sheet, play their stuff as the game goes on. They've got Lloyd Dyer who has real pace and was a canny signing, while Chris O'Grady will hold it up well and bring others into play. They'll feel they have nothing to lose.

City plays better away than home so 2-0 City .
