Looking at the teams both are standard league 1 clubs,on paper our squad is worth more,and we have 1 international. Priestfield Stadium 11-582 seats,they have no real rivals and like Burton the highest they have played is the second tier of the football league. average attendance 5,128,so revenue not massive.So for us a league 1 stablemate,in June 2019 a old adversary took charge Steve Evans and we know he takes no prisoners.A good result last week against Donny, will take a draw and the point away from home.

A long match thread for this one.
Are we all excited š?
I hope we get a win or draw. Points on the board, build on it, all that gumpf.
Bar missing Quinn and the long term injuries we'll be at strength. Quinns a big miss though.

The scene of my worse memory as a Burton fan when Scotty Fraser went down injured last season and the drunken idiot shouted F,,k off Clough and take that t..t Buxton with you. Just 'cos Jake started to warm up. Then on the walk back to the station him and his two mates cornered me in the back lane behind Priestfield and threatened to knock me out. It's weird as whenever I say to "bullies" if you're going to do it just get on with it and stop talking about it" they usually don't. Proud to be a Brewer? Not that day and not that start of the season. Nowt to do with how we were playing either.
Today I wouldn't be surprised to see Wallace get the nod over JJ to play the Quinn holding role, it's going to be a big hole to fill.
I'd expect Nartey still to be on the bench and JJ and Bucko to carry on at the back. I think that's Nigel's preferred 2 and young Nartey will have to be patient and wait for the League Cup, of course I could be looking like a duck egg come 2.15 when the team sheet goes up.
Hopefully Broadhead will come in and play wide meaning Fraser can move back into the middle.
O'Hara Bray Daniel Bucko JJ Wallace Fraser Edwards Akins Broadhead Boyce
Joe Sbarra probably doing enough to be first sub called on.
I hate Gillingham as a place, I don't like them as a club and I proper dislike Evans and how a fat loudmouth cheat like him got such a big job at Leeds.
Please god let us beat them with a professional 2-0, one goal each half with Lucas and Ryan both getting off the mark.

It'll be better than that, 0-3 Boyce hat trick. Evans will blow a gasket, get a yellow followed closely by a red. NC will stick two fingers up at him as he is being craned off to the stand. Probably not the two fingered jesture by NC, he's better than that.

Isn't Evan's serving a touchline ban today ?

Quick update. 35 mins gone. Gillingham goal wind played a part but also Oāhara going over the top of Brayford falling awkwardly and Gillingham getting a lucky break. Weāve played pretty well since but missed chances again with Lucas guilty again with penalty miss. We have to start being more clinical

Thanks Broomo. Yes playing with a swirling wind. Very difficult conditions but playing them off the park. Broadhead , Boyce and Akins guilty of missing chances but Broadhead coming back with 2 goals. His first a cracker !!!! I think this lad is going to be massive for us this season. His confidence must be sky high long may it continue. Keep it tight at the back lads with Broadheadās pace we can go on and keep causing problems.

Midway through 2nd half everything going to plan. We need to keep our concentration and hopefully weāll be coming home with all 3 points.

Very very good away performance. A pretty quiet second half where we looked comfortable. Just what your looking for when your 2-1 up at half time. Very very happy and a big 3 points.

3 points and a slap in the face for Evans. What's not to like.

As I said very very happy with the performance. The only thing missing was a few more goals. Obviously Broadhead looks as though heās going to be a big player for us but good to see Kieran Wallace having a good game and showing us he can fill in that deeper role. I still donāt understand why some fans still donāt appreciate what Bucko does for this club. This guy is a warrior and oozes experience. Again faultless performance. Even if young Nartey doesnāt play many games , if he watches and listens to Bucko heāll go back to Chelsea an even better player. Early days but we are a far better team now than the one that started last season. Canāt wait for the next game
