Personally, happy he has given squad players a chance. It's Burton!

The negativity seems to pretty much follow every single team announcement. Some posters seem incapable of being happy.

no, always happy when he isn't sticking ten men behind the ball. the exact reason for our recent up turn in form, and not playing five at the fucking back

[Mr Anon]

The ones moaning about lineup would have been the same ones moaning about starting strong and risking the league

[fraser]

Apparently there were 3 players who were 50/50 the morning of last match, I reckon Bowen was one or he'd be on the bench. 

[Manuel]

Looks OK with me, but Bowen should be on the bench IMO. Will be interesting to see Lamadrid and Adama needs to step up.

[Come On You Irons]

I reckon with that team selection Nuno is under secret orders from Sullivan to throw this game.

Remember when the cheapskate came on national radio a few years ago bemoaning the club having to pay £50k for travel to an away League Cup fixture at Everton?

The bloke is as small time as his dwarf height.

[violator]

Happy with that, refreshed and fired up for the cherries 

[zico]

No Bowen to save the day?

Ridiculous line up that. Asking for trouble.

 

 

Only issue should be team cohesion and the Lamadrid question mark. More than enough strength to beat Burton if they want it.

I disagree. That is a league one side on paper.

Mayers, Scarles, Lamadrid, Kante - all bang aaversge/ unproven strikers.

Areola - dodgy keeper

Kilman - awful centre half

Magassa - Championship level player at best.

This is ridiculous by Nuno.

Moan moan moan moan

Got to give the youngsters a go some when so why not today? 

Players need a rest and although I’d like to have seen Taty and Orford starting it’s fine.

having the sumo start is like playing with ten men


*waits for a dwarf chucking hat trick*

[goose]

Interesting lineup to say the least……..

if it works out he will be a genius, if we struggle he will get a load of grief.

[Mad Dog]

Ok, who had "mavrapanos captains west ham" on their sweepstake

[Takashi Miike]

five at the back returns, this cսnt takes one step forward then shits all over it

[fraser]

It does look a tad weak but should have enough to beat a team that is 21st in league 1 having not won for 5 games

KWP.          Magassa. Kante      Scarles

Adama.   Wilson.  Lamadrid

[Fauxstralian]

Quite a few u18’s put up into the u21 game v Leicester last night so presumably a few of the youngsters will be travelling to Burton
Hopefully we go as strong as possible & put the game to bed early and can give some a bit of game time

[Tomshardware]

brilliant finish





 

I was there that night, don't think the rain stopped all night.

 

That was the league cup?  It was the night of our works christmas party. Everyone said they woukdnt go unless they sorted out a TV for it (which they did, next to the dj booth).
​​

Yep, midweek game.

[Massive Attack]

Slight aside in tonights FA Cup game at Hull, the absolute state of that pampered Chelsea Bench with all their players in thick jackets under thick blankets as well.
