let's talk about the Burton Albion game
« on April 11, 2021, 09:22:42 pm by selby »
  What a fall from grace we are undergoing, the more I think about it the more confusing it is as everything and not just one thing is going wrong at the same time. Personal form, collective form, we look like a team of strangers, confidence, joined up thinking,and worst of all perceived lack of effort, fight, and team spirit.
   Next we come up against a side that I have never seen lack in any of those required parts needed to be a successful side, and have had the attitude in spades to be a team and club that every game they play they are the underdogs but can overcome it with team work and effort.
  Fresh from a great away win at Portsmouth and after getting out of the relegation places under Hassebank who has set them alight once again they will come here Tuesday as the distinct favourites to win the game at the home of the current worst team in the division, in fact not a team at the moment sorry to say a disjointed bunch of players.
 Which players is a good question?
 What formation another good question?
 Will we be able to deal with the long throw of Hamer? a simple tactic that has given us problems in the past when we have looked decent in defence, What now we look poor and no confidence?
 Can Butler sort it ?
 Will he be allowed the time to try and sort it?
 Lots of questions about this game please have your say.

A team we never have any luck against, coupled with the way we are playing, and jimmy floyd has got them playing that’s with bags of confidence, I don’t give us a cat in hells change. But you never know

And at the best part of 2-1, (9/5) Burton seem to be a knocking bet.

They're probably looking at the law of averages which say we are due a win :boxing:  :scarf: :thumbsup:

They are on a superb run of form. Last 15 league games are won 10, drawn 2, lost 3.

Their last 10 away league games though are arguably even better with won 7, drawn 2, lost 1. In fact the last away game they lost was back on Boxing Day. In that run they have beaten away from home Portsmouth and Charlton, and drawn with Blackpool and Accrington. They have also kept clean sheets in 6 of their last 10 away games.

If you look at form, we will be losing this against an excellent side away from home.

The biggest problem is the attitude of some of the players sticks , their is no passion or desire in them , would rather play Horton, greaves and lose but at least they will try , the midfield needs a ball winner someone to put a tackle in , play 451 defend deep and counter attack with pace , as we are to open at the minute and teams just pick us off

That is why I feel for Butts he is more or less on his own in all this, and although he is one of our own and a legend he is still getting ripped apart on here and Facebook, and I’m sure it is the players feeling that they can take liberties with him being a mate or not, but it can’t help him getting it from all ends up

On Bet 365 odds are 7/5 rovers, 23/10 the draw and 2/1 Burton.

Form stats for the last ten games are interesting....

Burton:  W6, D2, L2
Rovers:  W2, D2, L6

You have to look at the home and away form which looks even worse for rovers. Burton have won 4 and drawn 2 of their last 6 away games.
Rovers have won 2 drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 6 home games.

We would need to win every game from now until the end of the season to have any chance of the play offs and that isn’t happening so from now I’d give ppl like Greaves, Horton and Jones as much game time as possible.

Jones

Halliday Wright Anderson Horton

Bostock Greaves Smith

Copps Fej Sims

Could maybe play Richards in Midfield or put Copps there and play Lokilo.

I think this might be a tricky one for us  :)

I mean, who would you play up front?

Fey, who has zero interest in playing with his back to goal and battling against 2 burly center backs

OR

Bogle, who has zero interest in playing with his back to goal and battling against 2 burly center backs...

it's a dilemma, it really is.

I don't envy AB in what faces him this week.

I think I'd try and park the bus and just see if they can get through a game without losing. Or at least without losing badly.

Fej as he's at least useful on the counter.

Now that the board have finally got the act together and began taking applications, IMO the players will put a start putting shift in as the see Butlers departure on the horizon and  could start picking up points .

Can I ask ask a simple question. AB went from being a player to being stand in manager. If he does not hold on to the managers job, what happens to him?

Hello!,hello!,hellooooooooooooooooooooo.........

That’s the hole we are in, and I am not convinced we are anywhere near ready to even compete against any team that isn’t more wounded than us...

No team we play has to beat us ....we do that ourselves, so I’m gonna go for a very expected 1-3,

And has I’m a ticket holder in my final year of watching this team, I’m pretty much forced to watch it.....car crash pile up tv

This is only my opinion and you will probably disagree .....

According to latest fitness report, we have no James, Halliday or John for tomorrow. Get ready.
