Really going for it today! Six defenders and a defensive midfielder... Good job we don't need to try and win games.

Let's see if we can keep a clean sheet with that many defenders.

[Born again Bill]

Too many mistakes creeping in already

[Born again Bill]

Burton 2 up already

[Born again Bill]

Where is the wide man on the right

[dannymorc1]

What a scrappy start by both teams. Nobody can string a run of passes together. The pitch looks to be in poor condition. It could be a lottery which team wins this.

[dannymorc1]

Burton now 3-0 up!

[Keith]

1-0 down. That's more goals than we've had shots on target.

[Born again Bill]

FFS from a ball off the post , game over !

[Born again Bill]

What the hell was that for a free kick !

[dannymorc1]

What a shambles this is from both teams Vale are poor, but sadly we don't seem to have any idea how to take advantage. We have just hit the post and they go up the pitch and score. Sick!!

[Born again Bill]

They are poor but we are shite !

[Redalert1970]

No shots on target

We are going down with a whimper

Just can't see this team winning another game ...slowly losing interest

Can't argue with that other than its the players who seem to have lost interest !

[Keith]

If we're settled for relegation, can we at least try and go down with some pride?

Playing all-out defence, doesn't work in League One. It hasn't worked all season. So let's try something else and go for winning games. Burton three goals in the first half. When did we last manage three shots on target, let alone score three?

Pathetic so far.

Quite depressing,lack of fight and spirit very poor
This lot struggle in div 2

This lot struggle in div 2

That's my fear too.

[Redalert1970]

You are been very kind saying Pathetic Keith it's far worse than that

22 games

17 goals
15 points

Says it all

We need a change of attitude from the manager from an ultra defensive one to one who at least lets the team have a bloody go at opposition! Though to be fair it’s blatantly obvious this isn’t going to happen! There’s no question he sets up games determined not to concede by being very defensive. Unfortunately I think it’s time for a change before it’s too late.

[Keith]

Six defenders... ...O'Connor isn't one of the six. He's probably being punished for scoring last game, I did wonder what he was doing that far forwards.

No changes at half-time.

[Angler1]

Sadly I think the it's already too late. We will be relegated this season and the home crowd will drop like a bomb which will reflect how well we cope in league 2.. its all very depressing....

Not sure what game the commentary team are watching, but it sounds much better than Port Vale v Morecambe. "We're creating chances, we need to make one of them count", is iPlayer code for "we've had two long range shots, both well wide, and a defender headed against the post."

I do miss freez and glen at least when it was poor they said it was poor , Mr Salmon has his head in the clouds !

As it stands, Accrington Stanley have dropped in to a relegation spot. They'll be relieved to be playing us next.

Certainly won't be worried !

[dannymorc1]

I say it every game, "if only we could pass the ball to our own players we would get somewhere".
But sadly we can't! The pitch looks crap, but it's the same for both teams.
Time to put the forwards on and go for it. Absolutely nothing else will do.
