It's just an attempt to draw opposition defenders out, it's not an actual set position. It is. Clucas and Powell are playing on the same parallel, with originally Cousins and now Thompson sitting behind them. There's been a huge hole behind Afobe all match. Its pretty much been 4-1-4-1 all game.

70 mins gone and all the Burton keepers done is field a couple of crosses.

No it fucking isn’t. BM So how many chances has he created today? You said ALWAYS is. He’s our player of last season and deservedly so for the chances he created and the shifts he put in every game. So don’t try and use today’s off beam performance to imply he’s ALWAYS crap because he ain’t. I’ve been wondering though what is it about McClean and MoN you don’t like so much? What is it they have in common that busts your chops so much? BM

Souttar, Tymon, Oakley-Booth and Gregory on.
Batth, McClean, Powell and Campbell off.

Thompson is very good at this pirouetting but does it actually do anything other than help Burton settle defensively...

BM I've already stated so on many occasions, Seeing as you're such a happy mood today I won't state the obvious again, except to say he's holding us back. We need a proper winger.

We never take a ball on the turn or to run onto and every pass is sideways or backwards. The speed at which we move the ball would allow a defence of terracotta soldiers to get back into shape. I'm getting really pissed off with it.

After criticising some of the younger players last week I wonder if the manager will be equally as critical of the senior players after today’s game?

We've improved tenfold up front since Gregory came on. The ball is actually sticking and being moved better.

do you think we could try practicing some shooting in training?

Really bad from what is more or less our starting 11.

The only thing worse than the game was the performance of the camera operator.

I’ll have you know Burton is very much in Staffordshire (well by a few yards anyway) or at least it was when I left home a few days ago. I’d better phone the kids to make sure they haven’t moved it while I’ve been away. 😉
