Yeh we’re getting bummed in the middle of the pitch, nobody winning second balls or able to put their foot on the ball.

Is this burtons first team? I’d expect a team thats well drilled and played together for a while will cause trouble for a random set of players with very few minutes together. Even if the divisions are quite different. Individual skill might get us through this. But that’s about it.

Agree with your view here. Looks like this is the first time they have played together.

What concerns me most so far is the incredible low passing quality, maybe especially by Kante and Traore. But the rest is t.much better.

If this continues, I would sub Maters for Orford or Potts, and just start lumping it forward for a lucky hit

Kilman is a fucking car crash, every time the ball goes near him things just goes wrong.
Even simple passes and first touches.

Scarles looks very shaky first 5.

Well that's bollocks for one. Personally I would rather win the Cup this season and suffer relegation than get knocked out by Burton and finish 17th.
I'd also prefer that, but let's see how we do first.

Cant complain about that line up, nice touch giving Mavvers the captaincy. We have plenty on the bench if needed. 

Just finished a top full irish brekky, looking forward to the match.
