Following our defeat earlier this week, I write with some trepidation about our visit this Saturday to Burton.
We played quite well against a strong team, but will be playing a team who tend to beat us at their home.
I'm Hoping Coulibaly will start in place of Gormley because he proved to be the one bright spark for us on Tuesday night. Gormley's day will come, but for now he will have to try his luck as a sub.
If we draw or win, I'll be happy, particularly as most of our full backs seem to be injured at the moment. It may be a case of our scoring lots more goals than we let in for a while - the recipe for our success in getting to and playing within the Championship in recent years. Entertaining, if not jitteryness-inducing!
Good luck lads on Saturday!!
UTP!!!

I think you'll do well to take anything from this one Thorney. They're a very good side with an excellent manager and a winning mentality. I expect them to make the top 6. Good luck.
We're at Sarfend with one fit striker who's about to leave. We conceded a ridiculous penalty in injury time on Tuesday and dropped 2 points. I think we'll lose

Burton are very decent, but we're poor up front, will go for 0-0. Don, sounds like we've cooled our interest in your only striker, thinks someone else has got interest though.
As for us, quite fancy us to beat Bradford, will go for 2-0.
Good luck.

Snapski, the rumour is that Blackpool are after Smith.
Blackpool??? Surely he wouldn't go there. They haven't got any money anyway.
Good luck tomorrow.

We're looking really strong at the moment and as previously mentioned we certainly have the winning mentality.
I expect us to win this one and have a good first season in L1

Bradford came for a point and got one. Hoof to Hanson and not much else. Although a Scowen slip let Davies free on goal, awful miss. Couldn't break them down though

Disappointed at not getting a deserved draw - thanks ref.
Don, you must be delighted with your win. Snapski, you perhaps feel the same as us. Looking forward to seeing Coulibaly in action again on Tuesday night.

thought we were a bit lucky to win really Peterborough took the game to us after they went down to 10 but sometimes that's how it goes they look a tough side to beat and they will not be far away at the end of the season

Yes Thorney, I didn't see that coming. You were unlucky, I don't understand why your 'equaliser' was disallowed

Tommatt and Don. It looks, currently, as if we are going to have another disappointing under-achieving season. Maybe our luck will change. At least, Maddison and Coulibaly are on fire. Our defence is falling apart, what with their suicidal tackling leading to injury and the occasional red card (fully deserved in Zakuani's case).
