Burton (First Leg) Post Match Thread

[Trojan63]

The unfortunate thing for Burton is the team we play at their place wont be far off this, I can't see Pep just throwing in u18's when he still needs to keep the squad rotated and fit and sharp.

No point in risking injury to the u18s - can we play the women’s team in the 2nd leg ?

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Can you say that to my missus?

I’m still trying to convince her that others do on occasion.

I could, but that would just make her think you was up to something.

That’s a permanent thought these days, so you’ll do no harm there.

She actually thought my suggestion that we should go back to Manchester for her cousin’s birthday was really to catch a few matches and visit mates.

She’s savvy.

I'm sure we can't no.

We'll put out a few new lads, but keep the team strong, Muric, Garcia, and Foden will definitely start. I suspect a couple of others, Bolton, and perhaps Gomes, but there will be some first team players too.

And we're still left wondering if the scoreboard can show double figures

It can't, so the players were told not to score again.

Lol !!...didn’t look like that from the N Stand tonight

Lucky bastards
It should’ve been 10

That, and two-digit positive integers are mathematically disrespectful.

16 goals in a week.

Stuart Pearce likes this stat.

18. Don’t forget the two most important ones six days ago.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

What is disrespectful it to start feeling sorry for your opponents and no longer giving of your best. That really is contemptible. We showed them the upmost respect by playing our A game for 90 minutes.

22, including 4 last night at rochdale :)

Great act by David Silva.
Gave that player his shirt on the pitch.
Fantastic gesture to a lower league player that will treasure having a master craftsmans shirt on his wall.
He'll tell his grand children about that .

He also gave him a smack in the mouth to remember him by :O

 

[Jack74]

Maybe we should swap the teams around. Really give the fuckers something to moan about.

Made me chuckle

Which is really what he’ll be telling his grandchildren about.

“Gather round, I want to tell you about the time I had the best player ever to grace the Premier League leave a proper one on my jaw.”

 

[Time will pass me by]

It was general sale last year

Pretty sure it didn’t. I’m a Citizen card holder holder and it sold out before I had a chance. Still managed to get a ticket via a certain face value FB site (thank you stephen).

Dyche, Alkardyce, Warnock et al, go watch Nigel Cloughs post match interview. Class, Respect, Understanding, Humour and not a word about money spent

18 goals in two games...crazy really.

 

[wattle]

Looks like the second leg of this will clash with the EFL Trophy again, so doubtless we'll get yet more stick for only using 4 or 5 kids.

In fairness the qf for the eds probably takes priority for the young uns now so Garcia, Sandler etc will be playing in that which means maybe an even stronger side for the 2nd leg. Good luck burton ;)
