edwinowl Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Actually thought at times they looked quite slick moving the ball and had a few decent players. We should have been out of sight first 30 mins but they hung in there and at one point at 2-2 the game was in the balance. Agree in another post that moving Hutch into the middle at the hour mark was the turning point. But I thought Burton kept pushing and look decent they should be ok in this league this year. The lad who scored their second looks a handful. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 They were strangely decent, and OK linking up going forward. I think they only had 3 shots on target though thankfully. It was a good test for us at 2-2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradowl Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Apparently one of players played in premier league for pigs. They did look much better than Charlton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably expected with the personnel changes until Hunt and Palmer reverted to their normal positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfc1983 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Thought both their front two caused us problems all night and had some good link play with midfield. As has been said a good test at 2-2 that we would’ve folded at a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musingowl Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 They never stopped running, we looked a step above quality wise but they worked us hard and gave us a good game. Fair play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnsleyowl1996 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Certainly deserved the win but they did have the odd moment . Niasse and guadaoiro (or however it’s spelt ) have played at a high level so are bound to be threats . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperwinngardensowl Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I thought their plan to give Bannan and Johnson loads of space just outside the box went very well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys_12th_Pint Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Impressed with Burton and assisted in making it a great game. Must admit did not know much about their line up but certainly had players with pedigree like Guedioura, Brayford, Niasse, Borthwick-Jackson and noticed they had ex Chelsea player Michael Mancienne on the bench.

Probably expected with the personnel changes until Hunt and Palmer reverted to their normal positions. We were nervous at the back, looked likely to concede. A positive ia that we are stronger as a team now and didn't panic like earlier in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, his deliberate handball later on could easily have brought a second yellow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible Soccer Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 our midfield was the difference, led by Bannan but well supported by those around him. Thought Pato did well up front and was a nuisance all day, but i think he is better with Berahino alongside him. Niasse for them (formerly of Everton) looked very good for this level and think he has had some injury issues hence his drop down the divisions. Hasselbaink is doing a good job there and has pulled together a decent league 1 squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
