I'm sure we would all allow you a certain smugness if we go up

Burton are more consistent but not sure they are better. On a good day I would fancy us to score 3 or more against anyone. On a bad day we ship a couple of silly goals

They are top of the table and 11 points clear of us, so to my mind are clearly better.

That's not to say that's going to be the case come the end of the season though.

I'd back the 11 that started v bury to beat Fleetwood and Shrewsbury. Burton are far from guaranteed promotion yet, I would rather they Southend win or draw. Long way to go lots of ups and downs before the end of the season and hopeful we'll finish on an upward curve. If we're out if top 6 and so be it, temporary and we can get back up. It's February not May, no need to panic.

So far, Southend look the better team of the two but both are woefully poor.

 

[Otis]

How's that work then?

They play their next game after this, before we play our next one.

But that's the thing otis. You are saying that's the case. You sre saying Burton will finish 1st hence you see no point in thrm losing to our playoff rivals

Nope, not saying that. Saying at the moment Burton are the better side.

Also saying I have no reason to believe they are going to have the drop in form people are saying they are going to have and therefore I don't think we will make up the 11 point difference.

If it's auto's for us my eyes are firmly on second, because that is attainable.

Southend 1-1 Burton

 

[Nick]

Southend 1-1 Burton

Stay like this now

Ok so once again you admit you thibk Burton eill finish 1st

Why are you arguing?

1-1 would do nicely too today in terms of above and below us

 

[SBAndy]

If Southend win tonight and beat port vale Friday might have something to do with it

Ah, didn't know they were playing Friday as well. Odd scheduling.

Not arguing. Don't know who is going to finish top. No idea if Burton will be champions. Just don't think we can catch Burton and have said a few times, though I think we have a chance of the auto places it is slim, so I think it will be play-offs for us.

Just because I don't think we will catch Burton, that doesn't mean Burton will finish top.

Woeful game, both teams look dire.
I think about 40 burton fans have bothered to make the journey, absolute joke.

They are definitely punching above there weight! If they get promoted I can see them entering a Yeovil situation

I agree, practically no atmosphere there, sounds like a reserve game.

Yep, good goal, but then defenders should have been much tighter on him there.

 

[wingy]

Come on Burton





IMPLODE!! :facepalm:

I don't think we should be so cocky just because we've just won one in a row.

We did win it 6-0.

Yeah, against South Lancashire Ladies Knitting club, 2nd 11.

Would have been a lot tougher if they hadn't have all come down with a 48 hour stomach bug the night before too.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Would have taken a Southend win before the match. Its Walsall v Burton on Saturday so another team above us will be dropping points this weekend.

 

[Happy_Martian]

3-1 Southend

 

[covhead1]

The collapse has begun.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

3 defeats in the last 6 for Burton now, they need to keep that going.

Indeed.

Maybe the pressure is getting to them. Can see Wigan being top in the not too distant future if Burton continue slipping.

Very rare for them to let 3 goals in too.

 

[skybluelee]

None of this makes sense, Burton are supposed to walk to the title according to this thread.

 

[Otis]

Who has said they will walk the title?

Then the pressure will start to affect Wigan, and they will slip back down, then ...

 

[standupforcity]

Definitely two autos still up for grabs!!!
