Hope this is one of those games where we might see us score a semi mythical 3rd goal in a league game. All these new fans probably think a 2 0 home win is an absolute thrashing.
Come on you U’s.

Not sure we're there yet myself, both in ability, intent and depth of squad to maintain the intent - three more signings with a couple back from injury will help when they come though.
I do see us winning, however. They're pretty awful away and we're largely decent at home so it's a great opportunity for another 3 points.

Burton have had a few new signings, have a new-ish manager, and the team has showed some fight since Dino got sacked. A game we should still be winning but probably harder than we think.

A promising start, lots of crosses but feel we re\lly are missing a more progressive centre mid. A couple of times already Digby and Cousins have been too deep to support the play and neither want to travel too far forwards in possession

Very hands on team. Some sort of shite All Blacks tribute act.

Well...Burton are very poor and I don't think we've been that much better. Lots of long ball, some nice moves but definitely petered out as the first half closed. Burton will be happy with a 0-0 - looking at the other scores, we simply have to go for the jugular today and get the 3pts. Would like to see Njoku come on early in the second half if still 0-0

Some promising forward play, but some worrying defensive moments with people leaving the marking to each other. Was going to say that the referee had a decent half, until it all went off the rails a bit in stoppage time with some bizarre inconsistency.
Cousins looks a slower than I remember previously, a few times seems to have been caught flat footed. Lennett with some promising breaks forward but not often enough (possibly tactical). Andrew's been making some Dunkesque runs of his own though.
Need to be a bit sharper 2nd half and to keep patient.

Not sure what we are trying to do here really.

A solid if unspectacular first half. We’ve not looked overly troubled at the back and have had a few chances so it’s there for the taking.

Tight game as expected. We had a good opening 25 minutes but it developed into a stalemate as the half went on. Need to keep focused and patient and we’ll nick it one nil.
