We have 4 games in hand on 5 teams above us and 2 games in hand on 6 . 2 on 2 teams. Add 6, 9, or 12 points to our total and the league looks different We are 13 points off the play-offs, our form guide for the last 6 is W1, D3, L2. To get into the play-offs we would be be needing to go on the type of run we are seeing Bolton go on (or dare I say it, Burton have just been on), winning 5 or 6 games in a row. I'm all for optimism and I've love it if you were right, I just can't see it, well i can't see us getting anywhere close to it to be honest. Snap your hand of at 12-14th and move on for me, given where we were This squad definitely isn't good enough or ready for more. Next year however... fingers crossed

Next year however... fingers crossed The glaringly obvious issue is lack of goals. I said on the Hull thread that we have a solid base to work from in defence & midfield but lack of quality in the final third is a major issue. Clarke will be going, I expect Udoh will, it appears management don't rate Pyke and we know Main isn't prolific (although I think he does a certain job up front, certainly far better than Udoh does)

I think tonight might be classed as a must not lose game
Burgoyne
Daniels Pennington EEL Williams Ogbeta
Vela Norburn Chapman
Whalley Main
or maybe 5-4-1 with goss in for Whalley

Fancy us to take a point which I would be happy with.
Burton are on title winning ppg since Jimmy Floyd went back in there. They also practically signed a new team in January which puts pay to that cliché about players needing "time to gel".

Good heavens - I hope not: 17th is OUR position - stand by to repel boarders at all costs🤣🤣 absolutley we wont know what do with ourselves. On the contrary - if we drop a place, a substantial part of the Board will go into meltdown, with a small minority still claiming that the play-offs remain a possibility 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Any chance of Pierre returning tonight I wonder? The management has hinted that he is close to full fitness.
If so, I would rest Williams who has done pretty well as a stand in on his weaker side, but I would love to see AP on the left of the three with Ogbeta outside him.

5th or 6th are only possible places available, and there are 13 teams who are all much better placed than we are to reach those. It ain’t going to happen!

I'd be satisfied with a point tonight - if not, then 3 from this and the Pompey game. If we can do better, great, but there's no real pressure on us. Hopefully, we can roll past the 50 point mark within the next 5 games or so.

Golbourne is well and truly out of the reckoning now. Replaced by Caton on the bench despite Udoh, Pyke and Whalley already being striking options.

Shame but probably due a rest anyway having been out for so long. Team virtually selects itself other than the possibility of Whalley.

I thought that one of those 10 yellow cards came against Cambridge in the F.A. Cup, and that cards issued then only applied to that competition?

Cup, and that cards issued then only applied to that competition? you are correct, soccerbase logged 10 cautions which included 1 in the FA Cup. I'm sure they are specific as Burnley almost played a player who had been booked in both previous rounds.
Having tried a few google searches I final got to the suspended player list on the FA website which has this:
Oliver Norburn / Reckless Play / FA First Team / 20.03.2021 / 27.03.2021 / 2
He is recorded as having 10 cautions in the list and this does say at the bottom excludes competition specific cautions. My conclusion is he must have received a caution in a game that was not picked up by media etc.

Is Bevan the reserve keeper? Is he a youth player or emergency signing?

Cameron Gregory must be injured, interesting that we have our under 18 GK on the subs bench Jaden Bevan

that's 3 mins of unnecessary pressure Burgoyne put us under.
no need to hammer that ball out to where he did.

Have audio - but Burton of course - they are not very enthusiastic about conceding...
