Front 2 have scored zilch so far this season.......and if memory serves me correctly the starting 11 have scored just TWO goals between them in the league so far. May have to rely on the second half subs to win this one for us.
Don't forget its 11 months & 18 matches since we last won from going behind....
Good to see Smyth starting, I think he’s been one who has suffered a bit harshly in the rotation given the effort he’s always put in on the pitch. Feels like a good day for a first Bogle goal. They will want to defend deep against us so a decent Maddison performance to unlock them is a must, followed by Williams and Aneke coming on to really ruin their evenings when they’re tired. Should be a good one
No Levitt in the squad at all tonight, plenty of different conclusions to draw from that
I can only think of one actual conclusion.
Hope they recall him. Do us a favour and save us sending him back. Okay he’s another body, but when everyone is fit, the only midfielder he’s in front of is Vennings, and even then in their last appearances, Vennings played better.
They play different roles ffs
If he plays it’s in place of Watson or Pratley, how often is that going to happen? Doesn’t matter what role he plays, right now and if players are fit, there’s no place for him in the squad.

Yes please, no need for a kid who isn't in the CG mould of special talent, accompanied by graft and end product.
No one has compared him or anyone else to Gallagher.
Levitt hasn’t done it for us and there are other players in front of him. If we play a diamond, he is not going to be one of the two either side, he’s also not going to be the one at the top. It leaves only the base and that’s where Watson will play, and if not, Pratley next.
Why does Chuks never start? He's been fit for ages now
Because if he starts he doesn’t stay that way. This is the longest we’ve ever had him fit and Bowyer seems to think this is the best way of getting end product and availability from him

It's probably to give Deji the chance perhaps for a late run out...... "to get some minutes into him".
Oggy, we win 3-1 and Marcus Maddison scores a brace and Bogle.
I'll settle for that, Sam.
Only 2 people moaning at that result ....... Bowyer, because the team failed to keep a clean sheet.
And, of course, Golfie - because we didn't win 4-0.
Very appropriate in Burton.
