Have to concur Royston. Bucko looks a bit overweight. Strange one because he looked overweight last season when he came back to our place with Wigan. Training day in day out you would think he'd be in tip top condition.

I agree with other posters who say a point would be a bonus. Daft as it sounds, a 1-0 loss is a kind of 'victory' in the long run when goal difference is considered. Goal difference at the end of the season is as good as an extra point. There again who expected to win at Huddersfield last season?

Anyone remembers Harrads final goal for us when we beat them in the cup? He scored both. What a day that was. Typical for Burton Albion, there were other upsets in the cup so it was pretty much ignored by the press. Now THAT'S how to win a cup match. That was one of the "Can it possibly get any better than this?" moments for me - look at us now.

Flanagan in the squad but no Moose ? I despair Guess it's because we have 3 CBs in the squad including naylor. They have a pacey attack... Can only conclude that?

No, moose must be injured. Because barker is on the bench, and barker is for emergencies/5 mins at the end of games.

Squad is starting to look a little small, hopefully we can get 3 or 4 in soon...

No mention of an injury for John from Andy Garner on his inspiring radio Derby interview

Buxton error, worrying how bad our defence is looking this season.

Pretty stupid sending off for the ironically named Hope Akpan. High tackle, over the ball, both feet - didn't seem particularly malicious, but gave the referee the option which he took.

Disappointing to lose a player for 3 games...
We desperately need points on Friday.

Yep Friday looking important now. Don't want to start wit 4 straight defeats. Let's hope for a couple of players in by then
