Burton Albion v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 26.12.23

[premactopool]

Some shite officiating as per...

Top drawer

 

[TangerineMatt]

Wigan 0 Derby 1
Port Vale 0 Barnsley 1

Play off dream all but over in my eyes

 

[tonners1212]

Referee is a knobhead

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Jordan should of buried that

Yes, he should have.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Ref having a shocker yet again.

 

[Tangman74]

Derby Stevenage Barnsley all winning

 

[tonners1212]

Play off dream all but over in my eyes

26th December it is today. 22.5 games to go

 

[Macseasider]

26th December it is today. 22.5 games to go

Yes because on current form we'll win all of those games won't we?

 

[Tiptree Tangerine]

Nothing less than 3 points is acceptable today if we have any ambition. Unfortunately, this hasn't started well.

 

[JJpool]

It's almost a copy of the last away game, shit ref, poor defending, lacklustre performance. The ground even looks the same.

 

[TangerineEggCup]

If you can't beat Cambridge, Lincoln and soon to be Burton away. We can forget about promotion. Our away record is criminal with the squad of players we have in a dog awful league.

 

[SussexTangerine8888]

We are a better side, just need to get fooking ruthless! Heads on boys, we need a win today

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Cods 0 Carlisle 1 (Moxon)

 

[JJpool]

Rhodes nearly had his 'heads' kicked off apparently.

 

[Mark_GT]

Decent Burton side????????

Yes. Nothing special but organised, strong and a threat up front. Like several other teams we have let walk all over us this season. And it's pissing me right off.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Burton are not decent, we are just shit.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

It's almost a copy of the last away game, shit ref, poor defending, lacklustre performance. The ground even looks the same.

Yep it’s utter shit that we are languishing with these tinpot clubs, I fear our level matches our ambition and it’s totally unacceptable imo.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Burton have been instructed to rough us up and it's working.

 

[tommytwojags]

The more I see Joseph the more I wonder what position he plays

 

[JJpool]

Ormerod never heard the word speculative before...

 

[AngelBFC]

Wow Dembele

 

[SussexTangerine8888]

The more I see Joseph the more I wonder what position he plays

The new Gary madine

 

[archie]

Play off dream all but over in my eyes

Really?? Still half a season to go.

 

[AngelBFC]

Ref is a disgrace

 

[Marcusbeansontoast]

When’s the last time we went behind and won in the league, don’t remember any this year

 

[Loco]

Our passing is too slow against this kind of team.

 

[bleed_the_freak]

Dodgy ref but you can't hold him responsible for a shit performance, although I do think we'll still win

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Pleas Critchley resign.

 

[Mark_GT]

I hope we haven't read this script before but it's looking like it so far. Shite ref, sluggish performances, a horrible looking lopsided formation and a ridiculous goal conceded. Let's hope one of Critchley's legendary half time team talks does the job

 

[18YearFreeTrial]

Were huffing and puffing but it's not good enough so far

 

[18YearFreeTrial]

Into space from Norburn

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Was anyone expecting anything different? We are incapable.

 

[AmericanTangerine]

Season’s not over obviously, but our inability to perform 1) Away 2) Against lesser teams

is going to be our downfall, just inexcusable for a team of our quality so so consistently underperform

 

[SirHarryThomson]

Burton bottom of current form guide and we make them look like Barcelona.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Port Vale 0 Barnsley 3
Peterborough 1 Reading 0

 

[Tangman74]

Oolooking at the table - a win puts us 4 points off 3rd (yes with more games played) it’s still so close - we need consistency

 

[Matesrates]

Plenty of time, regroup second half

 

[JJpool]

Critchley needs to change this away form and NOW or we'll be so far behind with a great squad.

It's just not working.

We're not dominating, it's often hoofball, not clinical, not effective.

It's a joke tbh.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

I just can’t get my head around these Jackal and Hyde performances, there is simply no reason to be his poor away from home

 

[Bandagem]

Thank f.ck I don’t travel much anymore watching our away tactics, wasting my holiday pennies.
There won’t be many 1st League teams with a bench like ours??????
Merry Christmas!
Big second half ahead, let’s hope the travellers have something to shout about.

 

[AngelBFC]

Rhodes isn’t going to be able to do his stuff with this daft referee

 

[TangerineEggCup]

It's infuriating to watch but it's getting predictable. Win at home and score 3 goals. Don't turn up away against the leagues worst . Rinse and repeat. He needs to go if we lose this.

 

[TangerineMatt]

Barnsley 3-0 up away from home, that's the difference between a serious playoff contender and us

 

[18YearFreeTrial]

Garbage half

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Burton bottom of current form guide and we make them look like Barcelona.

Manager less Burton not won in 8 games according to the Chizzmiester.

 

[Matesrates]

At least we’re winning the fouls stats

 

[1966_and_all_that]

We've had lots of good balls into the box. It's just that they're smothering everything in the area. It deserves to be 0-0 but our defence allowed a stupid goal.

 

[Mark_GT]

What a waste of 47 minutes. Hardly surprising when we only play up one side of the pitch and always have a daft error in us.

 

[Tiptree Tangerine]

Barnsley 3-0 up away from home, that's the difference between a serious playoff contender and us

And what are going to be like without Rhodes goals

 

[agouti]

Tempo, tempo and tempo. We clearly have better attacking players but ponderous yet again.

We will probably hear the same old lines of I thought we controlled the game but decision making at the crucial time cost us.

I'd like to see someone grab the game by the scruff of neck and get us going.
