What has Derek been feeding these boys the last week? Looks like a whole different side.

One of their players having stitches, so down to ten men. Suddenly, their keeper down, requiring treatment. The only player on the pitch, who doesn't have to leave the pitch after treatment... ...that's unfortunate...

Cynic? ME??? :roll: :roll: :roll:

It's feisty! Stockton's header still the only real chance for either side.

Fleetwood winning & Milton Keynes equalised. (Fleetwood 2-0 now)

GET IN!!!

Scabby as anything! Long clearance, Stockton did really, really well, with three defenders around him, Weir shot, keeper saved it, but it nicked Phillips and bobbled in!

Get in! Been coming. Think last year Stockton takes that earlier and scores himself, but still happy to get the goal.

Phew! Good strike, hitting the crossbar from a Burton attack. They're not out of this yet... ...let's get a second!

Cole SO CLOSE! As they said in the commentary, last season, he'd score that.

BRILLIANT!

Great run from Stockton. I think their harsh on their keeper, who raced out and got a touch, to stop Cole, but the ball fell at the feet of Weir, who scored from 35 yards, in to the empty net!

I think that's harsh, I think their defence keep leaving him exposed. Keep attacking in the second half, because they look fragile at the back, but could be dangerous up front.

Playing really well ... Just need to keep back door closed

They hit bar before we scored 2nd and look pacy up front

Mk Dons losing / Forest Green winning

We just need to do the basics and we win this

As it stands:

Burton goal difference -15
Morecambe goal difference -13

Obviously, winning is most important, so no mistakes. But, every goal is worth two, (their GD gets worse as ours gets better) so if we can really put Burton to the sword, it may be important at the end of the season.

Shrewsbury down to 10 men in 22nd minute, so can't see them coming back. We really could do with Port Vale improving. If they turn it around v FGR, we could go off the bottom.

We're getting a bit slack in passing now. Need to keep tight, don't give them a chance!
