Players have set backs, it might be the player who doesn’t feel ready, there might be other stuff going on in his personal life.

I’m not sure why fans always hang on every word a manager says.

Well tbf the manager either comes out and tells the truth or tells us a load of porkies and we all hang on to every word and we’re still hanging as the silence around Goodwin is deafening.
Personally anything personal that’s upsetting him with him not being able to play as he seems to prefer us over Charlton.

Oh come on, he's never been fit since he signed and it's looking more like a suspect signing.
Also if we can't believe the manager who can we believe?
 
Shame for Bennett - but I’m not unhappy to have Leigh back in. I still feel like our best 11 has him in it somewhere.

I’m not writing Goodwin off at all. But the fact that we needed another striker option to rotate with/help Harris in August, and we’re now at April and thinking ‘maybe Marcus Browne can do it’ is incredibly frustrating…
 
Good to see Leigh back but it does mean Murphy might need to track back a bit more

Surely Goodwin is ok for the bench. I wonder if he is out for the season with a little knock.
We shouldn’t need him today but we do need three points. Nothing less will do

Tbf, it is starting to look a pretty suspect signing for 400k

I would rather the club donate 400k to local children's charity's in oxfordshire it would be more beneficial .
Signing injured players makes absolute zero sense .He clearly won't be available until August like I stated 4 weeks ago .

It says Bennett has picked up a 'minor knock'. Well we all know what they could mean then.....
 
According to the BBC site Burton are set up to play 3 at the back with wingbacks.

Not sure if it’s true but it feels like we often struggle against that system.

Going to be an interesting on the flanks today. Can we exploit the space behind their wingbacks with our two wingers, or will Murphy and Dale be needed to help out defensively if Burton overload the wide areas?

It depends on the injury etc and potential of the player whether it makes sense. In this case I am prepared to give it more time before deciding on whether he turns out to be a good signing or not. However, I concede that it hasn't been great so far.

On the Burton forum they were all hoping for a return to 4 at the back as they don’t like that system and haven’t played well in it apparently. So might be a good thing for us
