The Brewers will take on Championship opponents Birmingham City on Saturday 25th July in what will be Burton’s second home pre-season friendly of the season. Read more at www.burtonalbionfc.co.uk/news/article/birmingham-city-preview-2568384.aspx#j7A44kD8RiFeH6vh.99There will probably be more away supporters there than us but lets hope we can pick the lads up with some vocal support! Nasser (Eid break), Timmy, Reilly and Shane (slight injuries) should all be in the frame for a place in the lineup. Will we see Moose and Ant start as a CB pairing for the first time? Will Remi make his home debut?

We are away for this one. Although I am not a massive fan of these pre season friendlies, especially against a big team...I prefer those against lower league sides, I would have loved to watch Rowett's return to the Pirelli. Hope he gets a rousing cheer from the fans.

I am sure he will be very well received and he should be. He and his team were a huge part of what has been achieved. It is the mark of a club and a man that you are well appreciated long after you have gone and I assume that is a reciprocal situational.

Disappointed I can't be there this afternoon but I'm sure Rowett, the rest of the coaching staff, Maghoma and Legzdins will all get the welcome back they deserve.

Zeli on the bench apparently :-) For us or them? It says we have a triallist on the bench I'm assuming O'Connor is playing centre back alongside Mousinho?

The trialist IS Zeli according to a journo.
If we get him back...my word!

Zeli still very injury prone though
JFH really likes wingers by the amount we have on the books

Zeli has a year left with Wolves so would need to be a loan deal
I'm wondering if one of our wingers could become a striker as we have so many options wide

Interesting that Matthews started in goal and they didn't swap at half time
Good experience for him for first match of season although he may last longer if he does well

overall a very pleasing performance. They had their chances but missed them. Our goalie made a good block once and touched a good effort over the bar He looked comfortable in goal. In the second half we controlled the game for some long periods. I think we have a good team and squad in place, and look ready for the new season.
