1st half we were far the better side and played some good football, 2nd half we just couldn't find a way through, however! What was Daniel thinking when he lost possession in that situation that early on? My U13's wouldn't do that so for a professional to do so well........ I've always thought Daniel looks more of a centre half than a fullback, not sure Bucko would be comfortable out there?
Agree with Nige's report that we were chasing the game and they did defend well to be fair. Thought Boyce had another good game but was a bit isolated 2nd half. Not a good day and our support regarding numbers is absolutely shocking, especially with Derby playing away. It would be great to sustain in this league but the support has to improve, and yes it's been mentioned by myself and others many times but this could have a massive effect on the clubs future. Where is everyone who attended the Leicester game? COYB 👍🏻

Trouble is the support will not improve if we keep losing and drawing at home .Our home record since we got into the championship is dreadful , people come to see a team winning and scoring goals .We have only got 4 goals at home in 8 league matches this season .

We’ve only scored in 1 Saturday league game, and there have been 6. There’s an irony that the sparse crowds are actually quite good for enabling 6- or 7-year-olds to see what’s going on on the pitch but a few more goals would definitely help with getting them hooked! You know it’s been a bad day at the office when the highlight is seeing Jake Hesketh booked for diving! I haven’t looked at the stats but I can’t remember a shot on target. The team has so much to like but there just seems to be a certain something missing from it. Jake has been excellent recently, I just wonder if as a team we’re lacking a bit of belief. I need to check league table, hoping we’re still comfortable but home form will have to improve.

Not a good day at the office that’s for sure. A poor goal to concede so early on in the game. That gave Lincoln something to hang on to and that’s exactly what they did. Again toothless in attack. I haven’t looked at the stats but I’m sure we had more possession more shots and nowhere near enough on target. We huffed and puffed but couldn’t blow down the garden gate let alone the house !! I don’t think you can blame O’hara and for the majority of the game Bucko looked good ( a couple of mistakes late on ) Nartey looked good and again Quinn was different class. Other than that very disappointing .

Tired legs, tired minds, scrambled thinking, scrambled decision making. That's how I would described the Brewers today in what was another very disappointing home result.
The writing was on the wall from the kick off. Shocking first touch from Daniel, who had a stinker all afternoon apart from one cross, they get a corner, then another and it's a free header after 80 seconds. The last thing we needed to be doing after the other night is chasing the game again and although this time we had eleven men the opposition, albeit very limited, were much better than Southend and in my opinion were not overly stretched in seeing the game out.
The fact of the matter is that our squad, whilst high in quality, is just too small and cannot cope with the volume of games we have had this season. We are almost the victims of our own success where this was our 28th competitive game this season having already had ten cup games. What also hasn't helped is the three international breaks where we have gone weeks without playing. This is all starting the catch up with us now where we were five first teamers light today due to injury and suspension.
In my opinion the play offs are a long way off and I actually think lower to mid table is where we will end up. Whilst we can beat anybody on our day when everybody is fit and firing we cannot keep that up for a full season and the majority of clubs in this division have bigger squads and more resources.
The last two games have been a reality check both on and off the pitch. We need a couple of wins in the next two homes games to try and get some sort of feel good factor back at the club otherwise it's going to be a long season and we really don't need the negativity to return that we saw at the start of last season.
Can't fault the effort today but just too many off it after a tough run of games.

Your analysis is spot on Annable but bigger squads and more resources are funded by the bigger crowds other clubs get. We are the 83rd worst supported club in the League.

Colin Daniel did have a poor game, I felt sorry for him as I think he being asked to play in a way that he’s simply not capable of. Looking at his height and build, you’d think he has potential in the centre of defence - just a thought. With the transfer window coming up, and bearing in mind budget constraints, I’d be tempted to buy a new Left back despite Reece Hutchinsons claim to that shirt. I’d think about a loan signing right sided defender who could cover John Brayford too, (Ben Fox would have been the man for that job), as Lucas Akins would have had a stronger influence on the game yesterday if played up front. My third and last signing would again be loan, a forward to challenge Liam and Lucas and be an impact substitute. Obviously all signed within the constraints of budget and FFP.

"Lucas Akins would have had a stronger influence on the game yesterday if played up front"
My feeling about yesterday too.
Apart from that a goal conceded in the 1st two minutes doesn't half change the game plan, that just seemd to destroy ours until HT. We got a little better but it was all huff and puff with no end product. Lincoln seemed very comfortable on the ball where we seemd rushed all the time which brought mistakes, how many times did we lose the ball needlessly or just let it run out??
We kept going but just couldn't break them down. We get to rest up now for a week (a luxury) before we go again.

What is going on,how can teams score from corners,We never can watching Edwards signalling his intentions is a joy to watch,the result painful. After Southend lessons had been learned,blame sorted, Knowing we had to start on the front foot,they score from ,i dont believe it a corner,meanwhile for the rest of the game,we show our fans how difficult it is to do.and lessons to be learnt are a waste of time. We have a defence void of full backs. To say Daniel had a nightmare,we are being kind, Akins the only player on the books to challenge 2 6ft 4inch central defenders.is busy playing right back,come our only threat on the right,So our flank is exposed to the counter attack,especially later on in the game .Brayford is injury prone so why no cover, poor old Boycie battling for scraps in a congested part of the park,being battered by giants,our fox in the box ploughs a lonely furrow in no mans land. We all like a natural left footer,we have 5, so on sat the right side of midfield was Edwards shucks i good game in 5,the only threat came from Akins our full back. Sat we were poor all over the park.The efforts on goal pathetic. Some one has told our lot,any where in the stand will do,When the fans ask just hit the goal,nothing fancy, make the goal keeper work, i was thinking perhaps our colours are wrong, But no bright yellow should stand out,rule one always pass to someone in a yellow shirt. 2 home games against on paper poor opposition 6 points, Fact we are lucky a exceptional free kick gets 1 point. We con seed a goal a reason to lose. Southend went 2-0 up and still lost 4-2,and i am not going into figures how many teams get a result after going a goal behind. O-k we are playing above our resources and even Lincoln are way above us,the good news was the car park was full on sat. So were is the problem. 1 we need a giant 6ft-4inch of our own in central defence.and also a 6ft 4 inch striker to compete for the balls in the air. and forget this we are a footballing side, back to basics, League 1 has a big trap door,180 minutes at home and no goals in open play. only one goal down and fans leaving in droves,sounds like a wake up call. Strange thing is we are still only 1 point off 12th, and i did not hear any boos. Losing to poor teams is a bad habit. good news the away supporters had a great day.should be the home fans

Three things:
1. Brewers look tired. 2. I was impressed with Lincoln. With ten minutes left, they stayed on their feet and apart from the keeper taking his time over one goal kick. Also looked a good team and was impressed with Jake Hesketh. 3. Can we have that referee every week? Booking divers, ignoring several other dives (a couple by Scott Fraser, who DOES go to ground quite easily) and he was generally in control for the whole game. Much better than some of the clueless clowns we've had.
On a practical note..........The next thing has been going round my mind for 6 months. We should see what we can get for Boyce in the transfer window. He's not doing 'it' in my opinion. I'm a big fan of his but a) if we can get a fee and 2) if he's our biggest earner, then that'd enable us to get two, three or four bodies in for January. He looks knackered and out of ideas. Well done on a hat-trick against Morecambe......but we need goals and he's not delivering. When (Sir) Stuart Beavon wasn't scoring many, we were keeping clean sheets every week so it wasn't so important. I'd rather have Lucas up front.

Yes I thoroughly agree about the ref. My son hasn't been this season until yesterday and mentioned very early on, the refs been spot on. I said you should've been here to witness the others we've had.🙄

Interesting that Nigel also made comment, post match, about what a good game the referee had yesterday. Hard to disagree really. Have to say that as soon as I walked around the corner of the car park on Tuesday night and saw the refs car (with personalised plate so it was fairly obvious who it was!) I knew we were in for a difficult night.
Yesterday the referee did his job, wasn’t the centre of attention and got pretty much everything right. He wasn’t the reason we lost and hope he can referee a few more of our games in future. Potentially one we will see climbing the ranks.

I was absolutely livid about the performance on Saturday and waited until now (Tuesday) to see if I had calmed down.
These are my views. Other opinions are widely available.
If we were still playing now we wouldn't have scored.
Totally devoid of ideas - so much so that in the second half it was excrutiating to watch.
I can't recall their 'keeper having to do anything. That is pitiful and inexcusable in a home game against a side lower than you.
For most of the game I was wishing I was somewhere else. I was bored beyond belief.
I took and paid the admission for 2 people who were effectively being introduced to Burton Albion football club in League 1. They won't be attending again in a hurry. I did my bit to bolster the attendance on the day and hopeully for the future. The team on the day did not meet their side of the bargain.

I'd personally like to see the end of the Richard Nartey at right back experiment.
He's a good defender but we lose too much down the right hand side going forward having him out there.
If the Bray is out again for Wycombe get Lucas back in there.

otep a good post, delayed to let the dust settle, we came away very frustrated, i to have paid for 2 tickets,and find problems living between Notts n Derby i find it difficult to bring someone with me ,i have friends involved in amateur sport, and friends who do not want to watch football below Championship level. With Burton having a fan base of around 2000,we can see out gates are on par,with most averaging 3-4 thousand, depending on the away support. I must say that Nigel defending the players.brings reality into the sport, fans just comment on what they see, without any knowledge of the professional game and the effect, games have on players.Forest drew with Middlesborough last night at home, that 2 points out of 9,still in top 5, just to show the season goes in fits and starts.Booking Rochdale--Transmere- Northamton..Burtons cry we move on.
