Early call
Burton Albion are having a 9am pitch inspection due to heavy rain in the area
Might save a lot of gasheads travelling with high cost of petrol these days.
Might be better to postpone with our growing injury list.

We have played Burton in only 13 games since October 2011, W4, D3, L6, Biggest win 7-1, Loss 2-1... Burton were founded in 1950, are known as the Brewers and play at the Pirelli Stadium which has a capacity of 6,912. Manager Dino Maamria is 49, he played as a striker mainly in non-league 314 times scoring 97 goals... Following promotion to the Football League, local rivalries with Port Vale, Notts County, Chesterfield and Walsall have arisen. Except for Notts County, all these clubs had been rivals to Albion's predecessor, Burton United in the early 1900s. Ex-Gas player Mustapha Carayol played for BRFC 35 times, scoring 5 goals in the 2011-12 season. Previous managers of note were Neil Warnock, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Nigel Clough who managed in 937 games. Burton are unbeaten in their last 7 games, they are in 13th place, BRFC are in 15th. I am going for a positive 1-2 away win.. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/53/Burton_Albion_FC_logo.svg/150px-Burton_Albion_FC_logo.svg.png V upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/47/Bristol_Rovers_F.C._logo.svg/200px-Bristol_Rovers_F.C._logo.svg.png |

The Brewers last hosted Bristol Rovers in the opening home game of last season on August 6, 2022. Albion were reduced to 10 men in the first minute when Conor Shaughnessy was sent off for bringing down Aaron Collins on the edge of the box. Anthony Evans compounded the dismissal start by firing home the resultant free kick. James Connolly made it 2-0 in the 12th minute bundling in a deep cross. Collins made it 3-0 in the 40th minute creating space inside the box to fire home. The same player then got his second and his side’s fourth goal in the 44th minute running unchallenged to beat Ben Garratt to inflict a 0-4 rout.

Well, well, well... here we go again.
All the possession, looking the better team 2-1 down.
It's like an old record.

64% possession.
Not sure if there is such a stat as possession to chances created ratio but if there is then ours must be $4¥t.

I see the Burton manager has a track-suit top with a "Bovril" logo on the back.
B***** seriously needs to get one with "Marmite".

Just heard about Sir Bobby Charlton's passing.
A sad loss, he was an amazing player and incredible all round man.

Woods sent off. To say this referee is sub standard is being overly polite
