*~*~* Burton v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[Sea to Shining Sea]

you’re on the ball tonight mate, spot on

What do you mean tonight…

 

[bernardbresslaw]

Ross Stewart showing everyone why so many were so wrong about keeping Wyke. Movement, first touch, bringing the midfield into play, a turn of pace. Excellent performance so far.

That one where he stretched and got a foot to it and made the keeper pull off a save, Wyke would have been nowhere near it.

Weirdly enough missed chances and all that was a very enjoyable half of football. You can see a game plan and a style of play Johnson trying to implement, I think if we keep it tight for 20 mins after the break and bring on the likes of Pritchard and broadbeans we will penetrate the fat bassas of breweringville

I'm in Filey with the family atm..we any good?...cant get nowt here!!

Brilliant to watch tonight. Chalk and cheese from a lot of performances last season. I’m not exaggerating when I say that’s some of the best football we’ve played in years. The movement, passing, attacking intent etc. Good to see.

We’ve spurned a few very good chances mind, we really need to be more clinical up top.

 

[waddy999]

Plenty of goals 2nd half if we continue with the same effort shall we say.

 

[officerbill]

good point on Winchester

clear difference between him and the left back

the one signing we still need

Winchesters looked solid to me...

 

[skybo]

i'm only listening on the wireless but it does sound like we're playing canny.

Did you warm the valves in the oven

 

[Petesafc]

Gooch getting slagged off on a match thread for everything he does again I see !

 

[Nelson!]

Still can’t quite believe McGeady didn’t put that chance away. Unlike him not to keep his composure.

Playing well, need a goal soon though.

 

[Shack]

I know anything can happen still but we look a very good footballing side for this division. It's a league watching us! Hoping we get the win the football deserves. Be good to give the two new singings some game time and see what they've got.

 

[SebastienELLISbexter]

Building a team around footballers who have actually got a first touch. Embleton, Gooch, Neil, Stewart, Cirkin. Pritchard to come in. Doyle in defence.

Hashtag Absolute ballers.

 

[Botchie]

Gooch just needs to calm down and keep it simple. It looks to me as though he's desperate for a goal so might be trying too hard.

 

[humbug]

Did you warm the valves in the oven

 

[alicante mackem]

Decent first half. Obviously the quality on the ball is way beyond anything this league has probably ever seen. We have a soft belly we need the senior pros to continue marshalling the young lads and help them with their learning process.

 

[Hulkenburger]

We've still got some great options to come off the bench too, isn't Broadhead supposed to have a lot of pace?

 

[palm 1]

Ironically, our best chances have come from long hoofs from the back. But I'd like to see us get on the ball and pass it more. Also, to state the obvious, we look vulnerable on the break, particularly on our left.

I think we are mixing it quite well. If the one over the top is on you may as well go for it .

 

[Fireball07]

Winchesters looked solid to me...

He is. Solid but not offering a whole pile offensively. Which is fair enough for a non-natural RB but we can improve.

 

[South Banker Wolf]

Some team's going to get a hammering before long, considering the new boys are still getting used to it. Mind you, if the data boys have done their stuff, that should be sooner rather than later.

As a neutral marra this is the most positive I’ve heard a lot of you lot say especially about youth. Nice to hear.

 

[The Shepherd]

Canny soaking for the penalty area Burton are defending 2nd half

 

[FalkirkMackem]

Gooch getting slagged off on a match thread for everything he does again I see !

He's been pretty poor in fairness. Has to do more.
