That's actually a pretty incredible stat considering for a team top of the league Burton actually struggle to score lots of goals, only 42 in there 31 matches and no real goalscorer, only scored 2 more than bottom of the table Colchester and the third worst total of all the teams in the top half.

That table looks great now that the games in hand situation is sorted.
Bradford Cov play off final is still on for me!!!
But this time we will know how to handle Hanson

Coming up this weekend.
Port Vale v Southend - A Port Vale win or a draw hopefully.
CITY v Fleetwood - A win would suit us best I think.
Blackpool v Bradford
Burton v Walsall - Draw please!
Doncaster v Milwall - Hopefully Doncaster to halt their slide and grab a win.
Anyone remember when Doncaster fans were on here after our draw, saying that we weren't very good and they would be top 6 and challenging for auto's come the end of the season?
Oops! That's 6 games now without a win.
Gillingham v Chesterfield
Peterborough v Swindon
Rochdale v Sheff Utd.
Wigan v Bury - hopefully Bury's renaissance continues a bit longer.

Are you not listening to some on here Otis?
We only beat Bury because they are the equivalent of a pub team. We are shit because they should have scored twice. And they have only won two games since...including against Sheffield United ......because.......oh just remembered. Those calling them crap went quiet

Or they were poor because we was good. Cole showed his class. And he played 90 minutes which hopefully he will keep up. Our defence looked much stronger. This helped our midfield.

its the mentality you have as a person i guess.
some say lets win the league
some say we could be out of top 6 by friday

No, they were poor too. Some of the defending was just awful and that had little to do with us.
Great corner from Cole, but Stokes was unmarked. For Cargill's goal their defender inexplicably allowed Cargill to get in front of him in the 6 yard box and the keeper should really have done so much better for Fleck's effort.
If we had let in those three goals we would have been debating them on here for a week as to how terrible our defending was.
You can only beat what is put in front of you though and the fact is, I believe we would have won anyway.
Don't think it's a case of we were good OR they were rubbish, it was a bit of both and like I say, I think we would have won anyway, the only difference probably being the margin of victory.
It was 6 I believe, because of their poor defence. It would have probably been 2 or 3 had their defence been better.
I do think it's wrong to deflect from City's efforts. It was a very good performance from us for sure.

Yep. As poor as Bury were at the back, I thought they made our defence work hard for the clean sheet.

Yep. I thought Clarke was a handful.

Just proves the difference between before a night in the beer and the afternoon after a night on the beer.And they scored 5 goals last game. Not bad for a pub team

We do need to be careful here though. Remember when we were buoyant after beating Crewe 5-0 away. After that we didn't win for 5 games and within that, lost 3 in a row. We now do accept that though it was a great performance, Crewe's defending was very poor on the day.
Can't let that happen again. Bury's defence were very accommodating. I think we can expect a much more resolute performance from the Fleetwood team, who will surely try and keep things very tight and hope to catch us on a set play or on the break.

But weren't they playing against a fellow pub team?

But this time we have what looks to be a decent defence that helps the midfield and not have us arguing over which defender should have been played where.

And what is the excuse for them beating Sheffield United after losing 6-0 to us?

draw with title rivals walsall after dominating 60 mins
lost to burton because of an idnividual mistake
armstrong and murphy missing for southend

I most certainly have and that's why I have predicted a victory Saturday.
Bury were terrible against us. We though played very well. Think a combination of those two things resulted in the 6-0 scoreline.

i agree
people can predict 8-1 4-0 or 1-0, general consensus seems to be a cov win so lets just be positive and hope it comes to pass

I don't think we'll get a lot of help from those games. Maybe PV will win, and perhaps Wigan and Burton will be held to a draw.

Can see Vale,Swindon,R'dale & for some reason C'field getting something from
those games,hopefully Burton v Walsall draw.
But most importantly obviously a win for us.

Doncaster have got to win sometime. Been on a dreadful run, but not a bad team and they should be doing so much better. Have a sneaky feeling they could get something from the Millwall game.
Rochdale have the capacity to pull off some big wins (they won 3-0 at Walsall remember), so I can see them pulling off a draw against Sheff Utd.
Burton v Walsall is a tricky one to call, but a draw would suit us best if we win (make up ground on both of them)

Think Rochdale can win this,honestly don't rate Sheffield Utd,put a bit of a unconvincing
run together after cheating their way past us,but I think it's over now.

Hopefully Port Vale and Southend will draw, or a Port Vale win wouldn't be that bad
Otis

We certainly don't want a Southend win. That would dislodge us from the play-off positions, albeit possibly just until tomorrow.
Worst scenario is that Southend win and we lose! After so long in the top six, to be kicked out now would be the body blows of all body blows!
I do think we will win tomorrow though, so that scenario shouldn't arise. We now must stay top 6 for the rest of the season.
Port Valve have a very good home record, so a home win would be perfect. If they did win they would only be 4 points behind, but we would have 3 games in hand on them. That would be a very good position to be in.
Draw tonight would be great, a Port Vale win, even better.
