Official Match Thread Burton Albion vs Southend United

[OldBlueLady]

At least Sturrock may now change the team around a little without facing criticism for upsetting a settled side. Looking forward to hearing some analysis from those who went on the match report thread in due course.

It had to happen soon , but we don't become a bad team overnight.
Just hope all the loanees can be signed for the season , as we have a really settled side , playing good football.
This division is very close though , so we need to get back winning asap.
I think we're only 4 points ahead of 10th ?
Not quite sure what my point is or was now ( if any ) - just don't panic , we will be ok.

Bad bad bad day at the office, radio commentary making it sound like the confidence and the spark have just disappeared. Poor and disappointing on so many levels. They are so much better than what's been on show today. Let's just hope this isn't the start of a horrible downturn in fortunes.

****ing Burton, I hate them. Seriously hate them. **** off back to non-league.

Blimey chin up. First loss in months, no need to panic just yet!

That's it. I'm never going to watch them again. Ron Out ! Sturrock Out ! The keeper is rubbish. Barker is getting old. Why did we let Kane and Hall go ? Get Mohsni back. Why didn't we keep Hooper and Kightly ? Get Gilbert back. Get Ricketts back. We need Blair up front. Make subs earlier. Put some heating in the changing rooms. Repair the roof. Get Tilson. Sack the groundsman. The scoreboard's too small. Sack the Ticket Office staff. Sort out the onions.

I'll never go back Roots Hall until this is sorted !

....then again. 1 defeat in 15 games ? "Keep Calm and support the shrimpers".

Haha what can I say? I've gotten used to not losing and I err on the pessimistic side so after a first loss in months I fear the worst - in this case a loss of confidence. And it's all the more frustrating because, I know we don't have a divine right to win every game, but Burton are decidedly average and it's a game I felt we should have won. Now we have a game coming up against a side who I don't feel we should necessarily beat and it worries me that we could have two losses on the bounce. We'll see I guess.

Paul Sturrock ism "Football is sometimes like a strange woman who turns her bum on you." :smile:

Even Sheffield Utd lost at home to Hartlepool, stranger things can happen in football!

Sturrocks luck run out. Replace him before we start sliding down the table. John Barnes or Paul Ince for manager.
