Match Day Thread: Burton 13th Dec 25

an utter embarrassment of a performance again …people saying Duff is a genius…not in my eyes ? does NOTHING in regards to in game management changes

Not much on the bench you would think could actually affect the game.

We are utter dross, that’s four games now where we look unlikely to score and all against teams who will arguably be in the bottom half/third of League One by May.

It becomes more and more apparent the squad is just not good enough.

Time for the youth scout to go before the January window opens

Fastest I’ve seen us run was towards the dressing room on the half time whistle

Best thing to say about that half is we aren’t losing. Horrific performance. Outplayed all over the pitch.

Losing your head? It’s just a game of football.

It’s still 0-0 and we don’t have a divine right to win at Burton. That said, still not sure whether it’s a lack of quality, character, or both that is keeping us on a leash this season.

We haven’t looked clueless, that’s ridiculous. We’ve looked like a mid table league one side, which is exactly what we are

Only two shots, none on target.

Eleven crosses and not one successful in creating an opportunity.

Being easily outplayed by a team in the bottom six.

Nobody in midfield who can hold up the ball.

We look like a team who could easily drop three points in to the relegation zone over the next few games.

Lowry hooked.

McNeilly for Lowry feels about right. Just a mid table division three game so far.

As usual we are playing with 10 men with Lowry in the side. We must get him off NOW or we will lose the game.

Another one of those for whom January approaches ominously.

If Henderson, Abbott and Scowen were fit I can’t see him being in a match day squad. So yeah I agree.

He was doing well, but by the time he’s back people will talk about him as if he was an all time great.

He’s a 2-0 or 3-0 up sort of player unfortunately.

Hard to see how you start him regularly without making some big compensations elsewhere.

Seems to me that Duff is giving some final starts to one or two, just to confirm if they can cut it in League 1. He’s been very fair.

I think that Duff has another job lined up so trying to get sacked, cannot go from loomingkke scoring fun to looking this toothless

Lowry will be playing non league or not at all within 3 years. So talented, just not got it in him to do that bit more.

Lowry was dreadful. Sam Bell completely isolated and ineffective. The midfield balance still isn’t right. Scowen can’t come back soon enough.
