I was listening to the build-up on the Beyond radio App......then it suddenly went dead about 5 minutes ago. Anyone else with the same issue?

What a start! Great finish from Gibson. Superb save from Letheren, out for a corner, and they score directly from it. 1-1 after five minutes.

Sad face.....thanks Keith,

Well, what a start. Why can we never keep the lead. Amazing goal and then somehow they sneak an equaliser!!

I know I was still typing up that we'd scored and it was 1-1 It's fast & frantic!

[Keith]

Non-existent defending. Utterly dreadful. I could have scored that header... ...while sitting in my wheelchair

1-2 goodness knows how this will end, but my 1-1 prediction didn't last fifteen minutes!

[dannymorc1]

Another set piece goal. Poor marking again. Why oh why?

[dannymorc1]

Commentators talking about a high scoring game. The way we are playing it will be Burton doing the scoring!

[Keith]

Wow! Could/should have been 3-1 after 17 minutes, very fortunate not to concede again. Need to sort the defence out.

[Born again Bill]

Shocking defending , totally unmarked

[Angler1]

Absolutely shocking defending, 1 -0 up to 2-1 down. We should sack the defence and just have loads of strikers....

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

Having watched us for 50 plus years this is definitely the most frustrating team we've ever had. Talented and amazing one minute, inept and incompetent the next. Why can't we get in front and consolidate?

UTS.

[Keith]

Gibson just tackled McCalmont to play their lad in! Come on lads, sort this defending out!!!

[Keith]

McDonald just wiped out completely, it should have been a straight red! Dreadful challenge and lucky to be a yellow card in my opinion.

[Born again Bill]

Shame Cooney hasn’t got a finish on him !

[Keith]

McCalmont had a shot well saved and Phillips hit the post directly from a corner. Nearly half time and this could have been 3-3 already!

[dannymorc1]

Our problem, self inflicted, is that we must attack. They have shown how good they are on the counter attack which means the defence has really got to tighten up. Sounds obvious, let's go Morecambe.
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS.

[Keith]

Another soft goal, hit from about 25 yards but without real power. Perhaps Letheren could have done better, although may have been unsighted.

[Keith]

Free header from another corner, really should be four to Burton.

Going forwards we look good, but defence is shambolic.

[Keith]

"something ugly going on in the away end"
"looks like something has kicked off... ...stewards rushing over"

[Angler1]

Game over... so how many are we going to concede tonight.. I'm guessing 5...

[Keith]

Another dreadful tackle, went right through Cooney from behind. Only a yellow card. You can be sure, we'll have players sent off for less.

[Born again Bill]

That should have been 4 , terrible defending
