I didn't realise that John Dreyer was Burton's assistant manager.
He actually had a decent career after leaving us, playing for 12 more seasons (14 in total) in the top tier.

Burton are awful. Like, Port Vale/Carlisle awful.

Thought it odd when (well placed in 17th) they sacked Maamria in December. And since Paterson took over in early January they're 22nd (so their likely relegation feels very much self-inflicted).

They've lost the last 6 at home (including to both of the two sides that have been even worse than them over that time - Vale and Carlisle), scoring just 2 goals in the process. Play-off calibre sides Peterborough and Barnsley have each put 3 past them there in recent weeks.

I'm fully expecting a very comfortable win (much like the other week at Vale).

And then any dropped points by Lincoln, Stevenage and Blackpool are a bonus. I quite fancy at least 2 of them to drop points, which, depending on the combination, could almost take Blackpool out of the running, put clear daylight between us and Stevenage, and/or allow us to leapfrog Lincoln into 6th.

Confident of a very good day for us tomorrow.

Shutup shutup shutup!

Not liking the complacency of some of these posts. They’ll be desperate for a result tomorrow.

Not liking the complacency of some of these posts. They’ll be desperate for a result tomorrow.

But they're also demonstrably sh*t at football.
F*ck 'em. And grow a pair.

It's not the north until you get to Crewe, if you ask me.

Pfft. The North begins at Wetherby.
