Same team again if all fit. We’re winning our home games and not losing away. We have a formula that is working, why mess with it.

I understand the calls for O’hare to start but Westbrooke gets through a lot of work which I wonder if O’hare could sustain for 90 mins. (Not saying he can’t but we don’t know). Stick to what is working until it doesn’t.

Playing devils advocate, the last 2 games of the unbeaten run is only unbeaten because of Ohare so therefore the unbeaten squad has him in it not on the bench so should he start? I think so

We were beating Oxford when he came on and drawing with Blackpool, to say we went unbeaten in those two games "because of Ohare" is simply wrong. I understand he's scored goals which have helped earn us points but your statement is miles off the truth.

i think burton are going to be in for a shock if they are expecting Coventry of old to turn up!

Let's be honest, we're still not sure which Coventry team will turn up on the day (especially away from home). It's all been great so far, but if Kelly and (a fit) Mason were available, i'd feel more comfortable. We'll still be able to attack, but I won't be surprised if our midfield is a bit like England's against Kosovo!

Taken from Burton fans forum -

Interesting when you look on their social media sites at some of the comments about Jamie from their fans. I think they are expecting a far better player than they are actually going to get and it seems they are thinking that he will be the answer to any problems they have in centre midfield. Just my opinion but he was made to look good by Quinn and Fraser last season and we have upgraded his position with the addition of Edwards who looks a better player to me.

They have Edwards, we have Walsh, let's see who has the better player.

Another interesting post from their forum. Not sure I agree with the comments about Dabo and I think we are a far better team than them. Confident of 3 points the way we are playing and scoring for fun

Just watched all of their highlights and it's a real mixed bag.They have definitely got goals in them, the good news is they look to play football and they really struggle to deal with crosses into their box. Having kept clean sheets for their first 3 league games they've since conceded 3 against Portsmouth, Watford and Oxford and 2 against Blackpool.

Up front Godden (24) will be a threat, he's a big strong lad and is very good in the air, with 14 for Peterboro last season and 3 already this, he's bang on form. I wouldn't be surprised to see O'Hare (17) start just behind him, he's on loan from Villa, looks a really busy live wire and is really sharp in and around the box. Having Godden upfront gives them the option of going long quickly and although they prefer to play it through the pitch, they're not scared to use him as an outlet and Jake will have to watch his runs into the channel

We'll have to be on our toes for Westrooke's (26) set piece delivery and for his general willingness to shoot on site.

If Kyle is fit to start alongside Rose (4) the will be more solid but if either is out they are really shaky defensively. Both are really good defenders but we know from experience that Kyle is capable of losing the plot and young Rose also has a clumsy mistake in him. If we can press them high we'll cause Rose in particular problems as he looks to play out too much.

Their right back Dabo (23) is a total liability defensively and if we can get someone running off him at the far post he will fall asleep. He's also more than likely to get booked. He can put a ball in if given time going forward but he's somebody I'd definitely target.

Jabello (10) is a threat from the right hand side and looks to cross it early. He's another powerful lad who drives forward with the ball really well.

They beat Blackpool last time out, coming from 2 down to win 3-2 but it took Blackpool going down to ten men and Blackpool could have scored a couple long before then.

Looking at the games against teams we've both played, they drew 3-3 at Ocford with Oxford snatching a last minute equaliser, but watching the game Oxford caused them unbelievable problems out wide and could have won 6-3. They also beat Gillingham 1-0. I think we played better v both of those sides and trust we've just about got enough to beat them this weekend.

My own feelings are that it will be a nice open game but I think we are a better side than they are, just. I think they'll finish in and around the top 6. They're a good side without having a really clear style of play. They'll be a real threat on Saturday but as long as we can put out a strong first 11, we'll nick it by the odd goal

Last time I checked we have a very clear style of play.

It shows a real lack of insight into us tbh the description of godden... Hopefully their scouts are as bad as the person who wrote this up...

Considering theyve lost two and drawn one of their six games they seem very confident of turning us over. I hope we turn up as we will play em off the park if the second half of last week is anything to go buy

I've always thought The PUSB would be a great name for a bar near our stadium should we ever get one.

I think Burton are a good team. Walsh, Shipley and Westbrooke will have to play well for us to get a result. Looking forward to it.
