Official Match Thread Burton Albion v Southend United

[SeaSideDoughnut]

Just got home and tuned in. Lineup looks weird on Google. A striker in RM. RB in CM. A midfielder upfront... How are we doing?!

 

[mattitouk]

Attendance 1,880... No mention of the number of away fans though. Cant imagine there will be that much.

 

[Westcliff DGS]

CP say us Cox is in midfield

 

[Boreham Blue]

I’m glad I have pictures and not just listening to the radio. These two don’t know which player is which and we even had Milligan given credit in the first half.

 

[Strykr]

Wheels have come off. No shape, headless chickens

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Quality numbers in the home support tonight...………………………..not

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

We’re going to lose this

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Up against 10 men, surely throw Cox up front

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

We’ve played so well tonight. Some loose play up front but what a relief to actually be playing in that part of the pitch! The finesse will come with a few more games playing like this, but we are competing all over the park.

I’m sorry to say that we do definitely need a new goalkeeper though, as much as I love Bish.

Up against 10 men, surely throw Cox up front

Agree, he isnt a midfielder, go 4-3-3

 

[Boreham Blue]

Humphrys is giving them problems. He wants the ball and is running at them with pace. We need to exploit that.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Kinali on...last throw of young dice

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

Kinali? If we lose Sol will have to explain these substitutions. If we somehow win he’s a genius. He’s not afraid to try things is he?

 

[geoffmundo]

Strangely we haven't looked as good since Humphreys came on. He just slipped when in a good position...

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

How in all that's holy has Hutchinson survived?

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Not sure why we’ve changed shape here

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

Don’t rate Cox anymore. Seen him give up on marking a few times and only been on 5 minutes

 

[Westcliff DGS]

Don’t rate Cox anymore. Seen him give up on marking a few times and only been on 5 minutes

He isnt a midfielder, can’t see why he is playing there. We saw this last season and this, he isnt aware enough to mark tracking back. Strange choice to play him there from the bench

 

[Ricey]

Don’t rate Cox anymore. Seen him give up on marking a few times and only been on 5 minutes

He just hasn’t been the same player this season. Think the pre season ‘injury’ and not having that pre season has really affected him. Shame!

 

[Strykr]

Shouldnt have changed anything from the first half. Randomly throwing people on isnt working.
