After todays game in which we competed well but ultimately came up just short with our old weakness down the left in defence once again proving our undoing, we come up against Burton who themselves had a good result against a top side in Cardiff.
With Burton just above us fourth from the bottom of the division in the last relegation place but with both sides a chance a to get out of the bottom four a tight game, and a lot to gain with a good result for both sides could result in which side can carry the pressure the best coming out on top.
Both sides deserve to be in the position they and we are in, basically both sides are not that great at the level we play at, have recurring weakness's but are capable on their day of being at least competitive but need players to stand up and play to their top ability, quite a few not kicking on and showing the promise we hoped for when first acquired.
Byrne our latest signing no doubt will return into central defence as his performance in his first game was missed today any other changes will no doubt be down to tactics or injury, whether some others can cut out the mistakes that recur regularly I have my doubts, as we have too many times conceded the same type of goal, and Pearson if not completely out of favour would be my Partner for Byrne if using Bailey in mid field.
This game looks to have taken the mantle of one of the most important of the season, a win would be massive in our present position, and must seem the same for a Burton side that are much more used to being in the lower reaches of this division but surviving it, and on past games against us have always
given us a hard time of it.
So what do you think? can we pull it off in an important game?
Can we cut out defensive mistakes?
Are you going? with a big following at Bradford in great voice most of the game, can we lift the team when most needed?
What side would you Pick?
Lot's to discuss, lot's to gain with a win, please have your say.
-
Win it and chance to go up to 16th in table.
-
I’ll be there. That’s as much as I can muster at the minute.
-
Win it and chance to up to 16th in table.
Two other bottom end 6 pointers that night aswell so we could do with results going our way, starting with our own.
-
Their front two that caused us problems Beesley and Shade are getting linked with potential moves away in the final days of the window.
-
I think that the lads will be well up for this game after Saturday, other than Frankie and Close we have a full strength squad and with an attacking attitude Burton will be pressed back and I reckon a 0-3 away win is on.

Yes of course he does Fal.
McGrath can do nothing right in Selby’s eyes.

It's about bring a results sort of guy, and I don't really believe in coincident in team sport, for me its more about common denominators and recurring problems that coaches recognise.
Roger Hunt and Jack Charlton were not the best players in their positions in the country when we won the World Cup.
-
I think we will edge a tight game, 2-1. Worry about who will lead the line though. Big ask for Billy to do another 60 -70 mins after Saturday and Hanlan looked like he’d won a competition when he came on, so don’t fancy him starting. Could we put Adelakun up there and start Gibson/middleton out wide? Not a lot of options really
-
Their recent home league record is very strong. Last five at home they have beaten Huddersfield and thrashed Northampton, drew with two strong sides in Wycombe and Cardiff, and rather oddly lost to the terrible Wigan. They’ve failed to score in more than half of their home league games this season. A not amazing side that will be one of our more winnable away games on paper for rest of the season.
-
Could I buy and collect a ticket on Tuesday? Not 100% sure I can make it yet, but just wanting to know I’ve an option on Tuesday if I need a ticket.
-
The best two players on Saturday were Gotts and McGrath, they got the most votes on a couple of the buses. I think the dislike of McGrath is a bit over the top and uncalled for

It’s any player who may stand in the way of Saint Bobby
-
Bobby is not even in the picture, we all see different things in games I watched the game, and what I saw is what I would expect any decent professional side to do which was attack as much as possible our weakness down our left flank.
Was it coincidence that McGrath had a lot of headers coming his way with long balls, his strong point by the way facing the ball, but they wanted to pick up the second ball in advanced positions as they had two flyers carrying the ball in Neufville their MOM and Jackson who could outpace and get behind, it was their tactic to play on McGrath and Maxwell who are not great off the ball, and the midfielders flooded our left side as back up and continually played probing balls down our left side.
Its a repeat every game, will be tomorrow night most probably as Burton won the game at our place with similar tactics,
Sterry and Bailey our best area of defence at Bradford had a relatively quiet game in comparison with a lot fewer attacks down that flank and Bradfords left side defenders not pushing up so much tucking in and covering their right flank who pushed 10 to 20 yards further up to collect the second ball and also limiting Baileys forward forages, and eventually we succumbed.
What did you see about the game Ldr and Pancho, and if we go along the same team selection what difference are you expecting tomorrow night.

Burton didn't win at our place. It was 1-1. And McGrath didn't play.
-
Pretty fair summary of the game Selby.
We were under a lot of pressure down our left side. Did well to cope with it but cracked a few times. Maxwell ran out of gas and should have been pulled after an hour. Left for dead for the goal. Not sure who should have picked the shot, sterry or Broadbent.
As for Burton. Well we have nothing to offer from the no 9 whoever plays there so will need Bailey mols or haks to score.
A change for me at left back. I think Nixon is better than both senior and Maxwell so would give him a run.

Could I buy and collect a ticket on Tuesday? Not 100% sure I can make it yet, but just wanting to know I’ve an option on Tuesday if I need a ticket.
Forget that, looks like the decision has been taken out my hands as we’ve sold out!
In other news I’ve seen both their strikers have been linked with moves away today, something to keep an eye on.
-
Perhaps they're coming to join us?
-
RR, Sterry got dragged too far over to the left near post and left room behind for their goal which probably should have been his man or a midfielders, easy to lay blame and happens, no team is perfect and two or three yards of space in the penalty area is crucial, the move well worked and what they tried to do all game, and well taken on the volley.
At the other end it didn't go for us Sharp at the far post inches away, and Adelukan's miss header crucial, plus a good block on the line from Sharp, the difference in the game.
Hopefully at Burton we have a bit more luck in front of goal.

I bought mine this morning, the penultimate ticket, two seated tickets were the last to go.

This game looks like it could be termed a make or break game, things looking distinctly better with a good result but a big blow if we lose.

Good news, hoping I can make it. Bit of a problem having a loyalty points system but operating this though...

Think you are being a little harsh on McGrath, yes he had a few issues this season but last couple of games he’s improved. Was excellent at Bradford.
The failure for the goal was that their player was not tracked/marked in the defensive right hand side of the box and left in acres of space. Thus would expect bails or sterry or a midfielder to have been on him. Broadbent was the one who was last seen running towards him, so was he the one who’s at fault, certainly not McGrath.

Will make the decision tomorrow but I’m tempted in making the trip.

As I’ve said before Bobby will be very lucky to play for Rovers again, one his main failings is that he’s seems to be very unlucky as he’s always having a long lay off each season with injuries.

Go for it Karldew, you know it makes sense!
I’ve made a late decision to go after checking with Burton that tickets are on sale before kick-off.
-
Is Burton game on Sky
It’s not showing as being on!
-
No it’s not listed to be on sky, even via the red button
-
It won't be on Sky, because it should of been played during the 3pm black out, even though its been moved to midweek, sky don't have rights for distribution.
-
Also think the team will be as followed tonight
Clark
Sterry Byrne McGrath Senior
Gotts Robinson
Mols Bailey Haks
Lee
10 are logic and then I just have a feeling Robinson might get his first start.
-
I wonder if I'll get it on dodgy box?!⁸

You should do, just go on Rovers link on efl league one tab, so I hear (cough)

Thanks Spud, I'll pop round my mates and watch it on his dodgy box then. (Nudge, nudge!)
-
Clark injured. TLT looks to be playing.
-
One for the stattos but that has to be one of the quickest pens rovers have ever had ?

Think sky sports who are at the game live commentary but no highlights said 38 seconds
-
Burton all over us like a cheap suit but we are still 2 nil up and could have been 4. Its a funy old game.
-
Good win
-
Clifton MOM for me
-
Cracking win and up to 17th! Onwards & upwards!! :thumbsup:
-
Huge win. Well done lads. Let's take a chill pill and save all the positive energy for Saturday.
-
McGrath deserves a shout out. Header after header after header won tonight. Get some paracetamol down him for the ride home, head must be pounding.
-
Great win, i think its going to have taken the pressure off for the Wycombe game of which i would take a point right now but hopefully 3.
20 corners against us, don't think ive ever seen us concede that many, nor seen us get a penalty after 30 seconds?
A quick google search shows Witton Albion were awarded one after 6 seconds against Chester in an FA Trophy fixture, not sure what the record is for that
-
It was a huge win and well played that defence - they took an air raid assault in that game and stood up to most of it well.
Not the best game we have ever played though, so little football played or any quality from either side. I know conditions were terrible and a wins a win, but I wouldn’t want to watch us play like that every week.
I’d love to know what amount of crosses came in our box in that game, the last 30 mins was constant crossing
-
It was the Alamo. But a wins a win. TLT well played
-
In to 5th place on the xG table now. Going up.
-
Things went for us, the result all important, but there is more than one way to win a game of football and to a man we worked hard defensively and rode our luck a bit but deserved a break.
Qver a season every team ends up winning games with stats that give the impression that they were outplayed but get a win, some teams do it more regular than others and over the years we have been more on the other end of things.
Tonight's result is massive well done everyone for a backs to the wall defensive display up and onwards. and on to the weekend, and hopefully the same result.
-
A bit like the Sutton game

Yet we only conceded once which should give the group a real boost after some of the capitulations we’ve had this year
-
Going 2-0 up early against a counterattacking team is just the perfect scenario. Sat in and they had loads of the ball but weren’t qualified to use it.

We watched the game with audio from Radio Derby. Both commentators, on seeing the reply, agreed that the lino made the correct decision to flag for offside....just!

I thought offside in real.time, they didn't half moan their players mins.
Just heard there's been sirens in Burton, sounding the old clear from constant aerial bombardment. Loved how strong that defense was last 10. We were better on Saturday and lost but we'll take it.

When their "equaliser" went in I screamed at the TV "No, not again"! The last 15 minutes was nerve shattering. Well done lads. :rtid:
-

We should have had a last minute penalty at Bradford but it wasn’t given.
Things level out over a season.
-
All credit to burton for the way they finished the game, but a massive praise for our guys the way they dealt with the barrage.
We really hit them right from the start, and think they were struggling a little with our line up, the central defenders didn’t seem to know who they were having to deal with, with so many of our players running at them.
-
Did anyone see the offside goal again? was it offside?
-
Fair play to burton for allowing pay on the night. Looks like it added a good few extra other gate reciepts. And it allowed a few last minute floating supporters to go
-
It is in these highlights although whoever put them together did a bad job as its all over the place, hard to tell to be honest. One of them that could've gone either way

He held strong for long periods of that second half ! Burton looked a decent outfit and I’m sure if they carry on playing like they did last night then they won’t be in any danger, Sterry had a rough night of it I thought, man mountain to mark with pace also !
-
A genuine question, does anyone know how their budget compares with ours?

It's way higher than ours I would imagine as they had losses of £8m last season.

Yes didn’t think he had a good game last night, one instance in first half where he just stopped and ball didn’t go out.
Apparently a few championship sides have been looking at their guy playing on the right.

Wage bill of £5.3m in their last accounts, reflecting the 23/24 season in League One. Seems broadly around our budget you would imagine.
-
If you look at where their players were and their records before they signed them you’ll see that they aren’t shopping in a market any more premium than what we are.
Beesley was a Blackpool cast-off and Shade was signed from the National League for example. Lofthouse let go by Barnsley after not tying down a regular starting berth.
-
Thought they were very one dimensional. Plenty of territory but had very little else other than lump it in our box and try to cause chaos. Thought they were awful in the reverse fixture at home as well - we let them off the hook big-style that day.

Must've watched a different game to me in the reverse fixture, i recall us being way better in the first half but in the 2nd were bad and they could've had 5, think they hit the bar too. Was definitely a game of two halves.

Interesting articles about their takeover and how their intent to recruit by data lead means has had to be tempered after those losses and some members of the consortium getting cold feet.
