Actually thought Bevon played well today.When some people throw critisism at Beavon, other people point out that Burton went up off the back of 1-0 wins so having an out-and-out goalscorer wasn't necessary. The way we've started the season, you could argue that we're working on the same principle. At the end of the day, we're used to watching our team lose. Used to having defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. Used to buying a pint then knocking it over when we sit at the table. Maybe this year will be different, maybe it won't, but if we're workingto the rule that if we don't concede we can't lose then you'd like to think we'll be up there at the end of the season, even if it's not the greatest spectacle on earth.
He did.Actually thought Bevon played well today.

We are just where many of us thought we would be. We have a decent defence and midfield. We have only let in 3 goals in 6 games. That is the best in the division. But we are poor up front. Only one club above 20th has scored less.
I was hoping McNulty would be said nataural goalscorer.This season should have been about
Beavon starting alongside a natural goal scorer for me.
Me too and maybe he still will be?
If he's injured though what's the plan because as it stands there isn't too many options?
Fingers crossed Ponti may get the last 10-15 minutes at least now.
I think he has to by default if nothing else. Does anyone think playing Vincenti up front as a hatchet man for either Beavon or McNulty is an option? He can clearly win headers....
said this last week to my mate. I think Mcnulty in particular might benefit from a big man to play off.I think he has to by default if nothing else. Does anyone think playing Vincenti up front as a hatchet man for either Beavon or McNulty is an option? He can clearly win headers....
He did.
He set up a chance with a lovely cushioned header, then went millimetres from scoring, as the ball crept agonisingly wide of the post, he had a decent shot on the turn saved by the keeper and then he did a lovely flick that would have resulted on us having a clear two against one and run on goal, had he not been cynically hacked down by their defender.
And on that, it really makes my blood boil. They have to make those red card offences, they really do. This taking one for the team, deliberately pulling a player back, or hacking them down, bodychecking them etc. when the player is all but clean through, or to stop them beimg clean through.
One of the worst things about modern football, but seemingly endorsed by pretty much every club and manager in the land.
And of course merely a yellow card, not red, so considered worth doing.
No thanks.Reuben reid would be a good signing in January could be the man to fire us up if we are still there or there abouts

6 goals in 6 games does it not tempt you?No thanks.
We've already had Peter, Kyel and Les, I not so sure we want another.
The lack of goals against us isn't diwn ti the GK. There has been a lack of shots on target. The midfield is protecting our defence. That is half of their job that they are doing well. Jones has got 66% of our goals. What we are missing is a decent striker that could link up with the midfield. It isn't their fault that there isn't someone.Is the midfield good? Does it have the right mix? This is where our problem lies for me.
Burton played like that and got into the championship on the lowest number of goals scored in the division. It's not before time we become resilient at the backWe are just where many of us thought we would be. We have a decent defence and midfield. We have only let in 3 goals in 6 games. That is the best in the division. But we are poor up front. Only one club above 20th has scored less.
Yep.Yeah we look ok , some areas we are lacking at the minute , defence looks solid so we have our starting point there
I will see how we look after ten games , but I will take scrappy 1-0 wins all day long
Funny can't see any we are shit , we are going down, or any other bollock threads from the usual weird have a wank when we lose brigade ? Oh yeah we won. Hahahah utter freaks
He played a lot further forward yesterday, him and Doyle both had shots tooFor all the criticism about how deep we are. When Jones scored we had 4 players in their box including Kelly.

Which in turn gave Beavon a bit more space to work with and he benefitted from that.He played a lot further forward yesterday, him and Doyle both had shots too
