Can't see many changes being made for this one, I would swap in Currie but keep Kioso, feels more attacking than having Spencer at LB, would be harsh on him though so can see both ways.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Cumming
Kioso, Hekik, Brown, Spencer
Brannagan, McDonnell
Lynch, Andrews, Dembele
Harris
​

2-0 win.

 

[holdsteady]

You don’t win 4-0 away, have no midweek game and then change your starting 11, be the same as yesterday. I know we played Leicester but it’s a bit tinkerman.

 

[Newbury yellow mk 2]

Let's hope the club ramp up the promotion for this.....

If Cumming is fit then he starts IMO. We might have to play Lynch as part of the loan agreement.

Lynch looked good though.

Two tricky home games against two teams that have started well coming up. 4 or 6 points would show we're certainly competitive this season.

Am sure they will but do you think they really need to after Saturday?

Agree with this XI.

Eastwood’s been great for a semi-retired 37 year old, but Cumming is clearly the better keeper.

Missanga or Lynch is an interesting one, which has more impact starting and which off the bench.

Currie far too good to be on the bench in L1, but can’t see how you drop either full back after Saturday.

What are sales looking like generally for this one?

I’d have Missanga over dembele but a strong team overall McDonnell very impressive yesterday

To be fair I forgot about Eastwood, but I suppose we can afford to not rush Cumming back, make that decision later in the week.

We didn’t play Lynch yesterday so we have already broken any arrangement. Wingers get subbed every game so he will get game time anyway.

Eastwood impressed me yesterday if both are fit I don’t see much in it

Looking poor,but few days to go so hopefully picks up

Hopefully yesterdays results will help

Presumably they’ll only bring a couple of hundred at best, but you’d hope we’d be getting at least 9.5k in.

They have had a decent start, think they will bring 400+

 

[90syeIlow]

It's Burton who tend to leak goals so start with our best attack, including Lynch and Andrews.

 

[Camfan]

Just thinking about our last encounter with burton at home. It was des first win and mcguane scored a belter. Later that year we played them away and a certain James Henry scored in a 4 0 victory! Both games seem a while ago now.

Lunch better than Missanga? That's an interesting call

I can only recall us playing them in midweek in recent(ish) years, so perhaps they’ll bring more than I expect.

Play them all.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Play them all.

 

[Osei Yaw]

3-0 Oxford. A walkover score awarded by the league when Burton don't bother turning up because they know we'll smash them.

The 90 minutes will instead be filled by a Rhoades-Brown marathon crossbar challenge competition.

Is it me or is next Saturday taking a bloody long time to come around?

Is that really a thing? I don’t see how a manager could deal with such an agreement

It can be that a player will have to start a percentage of games or get so many minutes.
