Yes the extra revenue was good for the club,nice to see a packed ground. Not so good....seeing all these extra home fans attending (boosted of course with the extra aways) but will we see them at the next home game? The media wanting Leicester to at least equal or come close to thrashing us like they did the Saints. How many times I heard how much their second string team are worth.
Well done our lads, you took the game to them and played to the best of your abilities and some.👍

I thought after the second goal went in it’d be over as a contest. However, the Brewers rallied with a couple of chances at the end of the first half, and really had a go at Leicester in the second half. Some real character on display, and some nice football against a decent Leicester team. It’ll be interesting to see who Lucas displaces out of the front three after last night.

Great to see the Pirelli packed last night. Let’s hope a few hundred or so think about coming again. It looked all over after 20 minutes as Leicester counter attacked at a blistering pace and went two up. Somehow we clawed our way back in to it and after Boycey scored we all had a real cup tie on our hands. It could so easily have gone to extra time. Can’t complain, a great game, great support but very fair result. Apparently Leicester had 100 million pounds worth of players on display. I wouldn’t recognise one of them. I don’t follow the Prem, probably never will and am rather looking forward to Doncaster on Saturday!!

I'd never heard of the two scorers but they were signed for a reported £65m between them (one £40m, one £25m) and it was a first start of the season for one, the other's played every game.

The BBC article www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50134227 has some nice comments praising us which is good to see. The BBC radio presenter did say "it could have been 9-0 to Leicester" which is a very interesting take on things... Especially given they had 6 shots on target. Anyway, we move on, the lads should be happy with the performance. Looking at the Instagram/social media posts it would seem they are.

Pleased for Ben and everyone behind the scenes as much as I'm pleased for Nigel and the lads, who were immense.
We've come out of that with a lot of credit, a lot of confidence and hopefully a lot of cash from a bumper gate.
Proud.
Again.

Brilliant, another cup run ends in a goodnight at The Pirelli with over 6000 watching what a game 1=0 oh no= 2=0 game over so slick so fast so easy. Burton though never gave up, quite a few could have been should have been, and then Boyce scores and from that point game on, was the 88th minute until our hopes were dashed, Sarkic blasted the ball over the bar.and we thought our chance had gone We saw the difference in quality,when top players make time to pick a team mate out in the box, and not hit it and hope, But players do miss goal scoring chances at any level. 6000 and the Pirelli rocks

Fair play to Brendan Rogers for selecting a team good enough to beat us but not to give us a thrashing. The Leicester players had to take their chance to impress on the field, and they did, unlike Bournemouths players in the last round. As a fan I want to see a fairly even game not a thrashing for my team or the opposition.

There is no way he'd have given a monkey's arse about thrashing us and in fact they tried to. Strange to credit Rogers on a night where we played very well indeed.

He could have sent out the same eleven that wiped the floor with Southampton last game. Pep had no qualms about sending out a first team to give us a thrashing at the Etihad, and if you think that, that was entertainment then good luck to you.

If you could point me in the direction of where I said that, I'd appreciate it. In my opinion your comment takes away any of the credit our lads deserve for putting up such a strong fight against a very good Leicester side. Only 3 players from their starting 11 haven't played in the premier league this season. (Ward, Justin and Iheanacho) I'm not saying it was a full strength side but to suggest Rogers picked that side to stop us from getting a thrashing isn't fair.

I had no problem with Pep or Rogers, both selected teams to do the job. I was bored/disappointed at the Etihad and left early. That was not Pep's fault.
Eddie Howe, and all the other managers at Villa, Forest Middlesbrough did the same last season. Luckily we had a better manager.
Last night, a good manager, had greater resources.

"As a fan I want to see an even game" usually an even game turns out to be an entertaining game. So yes, I mentioned it not you. I did notice that we didn't get thrashed. So were Leicester not trying or what?

That's what it's all about.

Although Leicester made nine changes the team that started the game and also the one finished the game were extremely strong and everybody who played for them would hope to either be in or at least be challenging for a spot in the first eleven. There were no inexperienced untried youngster involved unlike some Premier League teams line ups in this competition.
To call Leicester's team a second string is off the mark in my opinion and whilst clearly not first choice would not be too far off in strength to the one that played Southampton. In other words they can make that many changes without it overly weakening the team.
Anybody who was there could see that it was a proper cup tie with nobody taking it easy on either side and we were a composed finish away from taking it to penalties. Yes they missed more clear cut chances than us but their keeper had to make the save of the night to stop it from going 2-2 and that was before the Sarkic miss. Again, full credit to our lads for running them close in the second half and any suggestions of Rodgers not wanting to thrash us are way off the mark especially given that each substitution he made was bring on a player from their first choice eleven.

It makes me smile when in the media they say of these Prem clubs, it's a good chance of them winning any silver ware this season so will put out a strong side, they then put out a side of mainly players you wouldn't normally see of even heard of.

As a fan I want to see a fairly even game not a thrashing for my team or the opposition. If Brendon Rogers puts a team out to give the opposition a chance , he should be sacked, Burton were missing two key players Akins=Nartey and only one goal in it after 87 minutes was a close call. If you want a fair game, Both clubs should play teams to the value of £450=000 ,this went wrong with the goalkeeper, Ward - Who cost over 7 million and wages would cost more than Burtons whole team. , So for him to select a team costing over 100 million pounds,with more on the bench, We can only play what is in front of us, losing 9=0 to Man City was a learning curve,and has a club we had no complaints,and moved onto the next game. And was over the moon with the respect shown to our club,by a world class team, Leicester have a squad for the season and we do not care who they select.

Would you sack every manager who puts out a weakened team? I seem to remember Clough putting out a weakened team against Liverpool in the League cup in our first season in the championship. Love the respect that Pep showed us by putting out a team to give us a proper drubbing and put us in our place. I see many comments on here about the lack of entertainment and why they don't go to matches. There is no entertainment in a 9-0 drubbing for anyone. One regular on here has already admitted to leaving part way through at the Ethiad because he was "Bored/disappointed". How many times have you watched MOTD and seen a club go three or four goals down and seen the fans pouring out of their seats in their hundreds. And what exactly did we learn from a nine nill drubbing?
