Burton (a) pre-match thread

[Stoned Rose]

I think he's said this since Bayern, actually. In German one would say something is "topp", ie great.

Killed my buzz there mate.

Cruelty.

 

[simmo]

It would be good to see Bolton start. He was the most impressive youngster on pre season for me

I think he will

PEP The guys who have a lot of games in their legs are going to rest (tomorrow night). Players who need to play, who haven't played lately, or have come back from injury are going to play.

PEP We start at 9-0. An unusual situation. Our approach is to improve every single game. That is the target I want to see tomorrow - not what happened in the first game. Think about how to attack and how to improve our methods, doing it better and better.

PEP @benmendy23 is in the squad tomorrow. Maybe on the bench. Mangala is not going to play. I don’t know what situation is with his transfer. If he doesn't leave, he's going to stay with us.

PEP @VincentKompany is not okay. A few little injuries. Not fit. He is coming back but I don’t know when.

PEP Muric has played top. We believe he has incredible potential for us. He's not scared to play, even in tough moments. Tomorrow is a chance for him to show us how good he is.

Made me smile

In German one would say “grausamkeit”.

 

[Stoned Rose]

In German one would say “grausamkeit”.

And so say all of us.

Think Pep could possibly pick this side, although I would like to see Bolton at RB.

The forecast for Burton upon Trent says the temp will be below zero from 6pm onwards

I very much doubt there will be undersoil heating so there might be a chance the game could be frozen off

They don't have undersoil heating. Minus 1 C forecast which is probably not cold enough to penetrate deep into the ground and make the surface dangerous.

They will cover the pitch and use industrial warmers
I will be very surprised if the pitch is unplayable

Love the way Pep tries to be all Manc by saying a player ‘played top’.

I want him to use the word bobbins.

Ok cheers. Hopefully on. Looking forward to ticking off a new ground

Can you recommend anywhere near to the ground for a few pre match beers?

 

[Indaparkside]

Hopefully the Mangler will be seen. Played well for us last season.
