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

Should be winning. But that performance is night and day from what we’re used to in this league. Thought we might be more bullied

This. Regardless of tonight the performance is filling me with a lot of hope for this season. We actually look an attacking threat and create chances, something we haven't done regularly whilst being in this league. Fingers crossed it continues throughout the season.

It’s him it’s his general level we shouldn’t be surprised it’s what he does

He was compared to Messi after the opening game.

 

[samsafc]

Think we will score before 55 mins, come on!!

It gets darker earlier the nearer to the equator you are. I was in Orkney last month and it was still light at 11pm. It was weird!

Wife and I went to Helsinki and Tallin a few years back in July and it was bright at midnight.

 

[Charmless Man]

We seem to have turned into a decent team. Have players all over the pitch making contributions unlike last season. Just need that first goal!

Even if we don’t get it I’m comfortable. We keep playing like this we’ll go up.

 

[TravellingMackem]

Neils best game for us by a distance

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

It’s him it’s his general level we shouldn’t be surprised it’s what he does

Might be worth swapping him for the new lad on 60mins.

That first 20 minutes was excellent. It’s only took 4 years but excellent. CM who’s first instinct is to release the ball quickly and forward. Dan Neil has been quality. Ross Stewart is a proper hand full.

Could have been a few goals up. Generally very good.

 

[Zidane]

Was a good half and we should be at least 2 up if not more.

 

[woodlebert]

Last season we had a habit of looking worse after the Johnson team talk. BIG FIFTEEN MINUTES

 

[muffler]

The movement from all of the players has been excellent.

Can’t remember a game at the start of a season we’re we’ve looked so well drilled.

 

[flanny1]

Hopefully we don’t follow up a good half with a bad one.

 

[Boo]

That was entertaining, in a frantic, League One kind of way. Some nice work from us. O'Nien has stood out for me.

And I'd forgotten about Mike Amott ,.. How could I forget the 'King of Caravans'?

 

[humbug]

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

 

[Pilly]

I think Flanagan has looked good tonight

 

[Fetch Fletch]

These lads will be paid a hell of a lot less than the donkeys we have had to watch for the last few seasons. Incredible what having a plan rather than just throwing money and ‘names’ does at this level.

Love Talin me, some stunning women there.

Some lovely football on show tonight. Ross in particular has been excellent. The sharpness in front of goal will come as the season rolls on.
