Let's talk about the Burton Albion game

[Pancho Regan]

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.

Additional tickets will be available from the ticket windows at the Pirelli Stadium before the game.

Just seen this, a bit poor for those who wanted standing and bought seating as it’s all what seemed left.

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

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.

Great decision to go in the end!, great start, nervous finish. Things are looking good!

Well done mate, I’m glad I went too.

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

Not seen it but Burton claim after watching it again the offside goal was in fact onside.

We should have had a last minute penalty at Bradford but it wasn’t given.
Things level out over a season.

[Ian Nimmo]

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?

[normal rules]

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.

Think that would make them bottom 4 in League 1. We won’t be bottom 4.

It was one of many games so far this season we should have won, remember Billy missing a one on one!

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.
