The negativity seems to pretty much follow every single team announcement. Some posters seem incapable of being happy.
no, always happy when he isn't sticking ten men behind the ball. the exact reason for our recent up turn in form, and not playing five at the fucking back 🙂

The ones moaning about lineup would have been the same ones moaning about starting strong and risking the league

Apparently there were 3 players who were 50/50 the morning of last match, I reckon Bowen was one or he'd be on the bench.

Looks OK with me, but Bowen should be on the bench IMO. Will be interesting to see Lamadrid and Adama needs to step up.

I reckon with that team selection Nuno is under secret orders from Sullivan to throw this game.

Remember when the cheapskate came on national radio a few years ago bemoaning the club having to pay £50k for travel to an away League Cup fixture at Everton?

The bloke is as small time as his dwarf height.

Only issue should be team cohesion and the Lamadrid question mark. More than enough strength to beat Burton if they want it.
I disagree. That is a league one side on paper.

Mayers, Scarles, Lamadrid, Kante - all bang aaversge/ unproven strikers.

Areola - dodgy keeper

Kilman - awful centre half

Magassa - Championship level player at best.

This is ridiculous by Nuno.

Moan moan moan moan

Got to give the youngsters a go some when so why not today? 

Players need a rest and although I’d like to have seen Taty and Orford starting it’s fine.

It does look a tad weak but should have enough to beat a team that is 21st in league 1 having not won for 5 games

Quite a few u18’s put up into the u21 game v Leicester last night so presumably a few of the youngsters will be travelling to Burton
Hopefully we go as strong as possible & put the game to bed early and can give some a bit of game time
