The best team won today. We've been treading water for a while now. Not worried about losing the unbeaten record, would rather win 3 and lose 2 than draw 5.

Murphy was awful today. I really want to see him dropped for a game. Fleck seemed to play well first half but terrible in the second. Has this team got enough bottle should we end up on the playoffs? I'm not convinced at the moment.

No. It hasn't. The likes of RCC, Phillips, Bigi, Madder's, Arma and Murphy don't have teamed right mentality.

TM will now definitely go after a new CB and CF.

14 shots 7 on target 55% possession. 2-0 defeat.

Our possession and shot stats are always like this

Virtually all our shots today were from outside the box, and Burton allowed us to have possession. We could have played for another hour and not scored.

Maybe they are actually a decent side?

They were organised and had a game plan.

Although I constantly get slated for saying it securing the likes of Cole and Bigiamara will cost us.

Whatever Coles attributes are he is clearly not fit enough. He blows after a few minutes, can't last 90 minutes and seemingly can't even make an appearance in two games running until late in the game.

Bigiamara is just a waste of time unless we are winning and he can trundle around the back four.

...hopefully we can pick up Bigirimana on a free and use the 35million to fund a promotion challenge?

Is he still on loan atm?

If so, was it a month it was extended?

For the season - no recall - so we can't send him back.

End of season and Newcastle insisted on a no recall clause.....

Decent first half, poor second half.

Phillips liability, Ramage very average, Stokes poor and Murphy abject today.

They won 3-1 today, we lost 0-2. They are on an upsurge, we are in freefall.

Freefall?!

You've certainly got a flair for drama, mate. I'd hardly call dropping 3 places into 4th, over the space of 7-ish weeks a "freefall". :thinking about:

BBC says 'outside the UK'
We all pretty much knew what Burton would do today and that is exactly what they did. Nullified our attack and snuck their goals due to our glaring defensive weakness. All so predictable. We don't have the players but I'm not sure TM used the ones we do have effectively.

Cheers G and Stu.

With the Armstrong news, I forgot the details about Bigi's loan.

Odd that NUFC insisted he stayed here :thinking about:
