Come off of it. We have been the dominant side. I find no issue with our tactics today.
We were denied a clear penalty for me and we have had 3 or 4 decent shots and several more less so.
Jones once again is the issue for the goal. Ness misses the header sure, but Watson is tracking back and again Jones fails to pressure his man. A carbon copy of the goal last week.
We'll win this easy. Burton are crap and it's just a matter of time
I think we will. One thing Appleton seems to be good at is firing a rocket up them at half time. Come out like we did 2nd half v Peterborough and we'll be 3-1 up by 70 minutes.
With a decent defence we would have a good foundation of a team but we're to mistake ridden/ poor at the back.
Prioritise signing a keeper and a defence this summer.
This suggests that the manager is now at the stage where only a few wins will regain support from the terraces. The board have let him sign who he wants so surely havwe to give him time to bed them in? But the risk is that if he isn't good enough then if they delay it will be too late to save us from the drop. A tough few weeks ahead.
Been much the better side. Burton have literally done nothing but defend solidly, and then the one quick direct attack they had we decided to have our typical defensive meltdown.
That being said for all our dominance, it just feels like we lack a ‘spark’ - it’s all very rigid and workmanlike. Our play seems to reflect appletons personality which is not a good thing.

He has 1 win in 11. I think we've already been very generous with him.
We started with, basically, the same back 6. Why did Appleton think that today it would be any different. A shambles of a goal and we’re on the back foot again.
The only mistake Ness has made is missing that header... Jones should have pressured his man. Watson got from the half way line to on the players heels. Jones invited the guy in and even let him step across for a clear shot on goal.

Not impressed by Ness sadly. Need better in a back 3.
Watson also uninspiring at best.
Edun could be very good in this system.

We need a bit of fire and intensity.
Just don't think that right side has operated very well. Slow distribution and often inaccurate.
