If this was the start of the season I'd be very excited about the future. After today, I feel whole lot better about things anyway...apart from that cretin with the whistle!
Two encouraging performances from him. Would be really glad to be proved wrong because I had written him off earlier in the season. Has proved he can be quite effective and a nuisance. Would be good to see him bag a couple to boost his confidence. Was is Thomas who scored the offside goal? Couldn't see clearly from where I was. Was it the correct decision (from those with a better view)?
Yeah it was Thomas, didn't see the offside bit though
At the start of the season he was too bulky and nowhere near as mobile as he is now.
Yes it was Thomas and yes he was offside.
Like others I thought he has played well recently. Yesterday he put a good shift in and contributed both going forward and back. He is a young kid and will improve a lot with game time and good coaching. I'm sure slade is working with him on a number of points. For me he has to work on his runs...when and how to make space, timing and whether he should run towards or away from the ball.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Beavon had a superb debut and really showed us what a bullying, fit, determined centre forward can do.
I'm always cautious when praising players and lauding their potential future efforts based on a very good debut...if he does the business for months to come, great, but we still need more players in.

Yeah, that first one was out of a long ball hoofed up to him from nowhere.
We have really missed things like that.
Is he any relation to the Stuart Beavon that played for Reading back in the 80's? If he is half as good as him we will be very lucky ..
Seeing him outleap the defender was impressive enough, the composure to pick out the cross as well was great and tallied up with the positive stuff Burton fans were saying.
Credit to Reid for heading back across goal too, his decision making at times was horrendous but he nailed it then.

Seems to be a resemblance...obviously the Stuart playing for us looks less permy and a lot more aggro.
fans always like a little terrier who they can see giving it all.
