    First of two home games in a week. If we don't get at least 4 points then surely something has to be changed. It will be too late to bring in any players so the only thing would be to change the management around.

    But back to the game. Burton have started the season just as badly as us so we might have half a chance.

    Looking forward to this.

    Burton at 21/10 to win. You can't argue that backing against City is a wise thing to do right niw

    If the Burton game goes badly I can see it becoming toxic like Bristol rovers last season.

    Burton got a solid 1-0 win today against an in from Donny side. Add to that they won 2-1 in the cup midweek away, maybe they have found their feet this season?

    We know from past experience they are gonna be solid and set up well and hard to break down. I can see a 0-1 win to Burton. We don't look like scoring

    Lost all interest in attending this game, not worth the hassle trying to get an early finish to be let down by players staff and owners who frankly only care about their hefty wages. The signings of Scannell and Payne lifted my summer blues but it's not been enough.

    Burton beat Donny today; can anyone actually see a Nigel Clough side losing to a " Mikey C" formation when the m(p)uppet doesn't think formations & tactics important in a game a football ? ! A team bereft of confidence; no belief in who's coaching them; no organisation; and no proper preparation pre-season : chaos "behind the scenes" with players & staff. Its a right mess. What's the actually likelihood of Rahic axing anyone in that dugout ? .probably isnt any ! .We are in trouble.

    Will be my last game for a while due to little Storck being delivered by the Stork next weekend, some hoping for a win

    I said before today’s game that losing to Barnsley was one thing, but a chasing from Southend would be another. And of anything, today’s performance was even more one sided than last weekends no-show.

    More of the same on Tuesday night will bring Collins and Rahic under ridiculously early, but self inflicted pressure.

    Thought Mr Rahic would not push the panic button until after 10 games without a win although he gave his first manager less.

    Let’s wait until we lose the next two before we sharpen the knives

    I want to see from the team more organisation, bite/determination and getting in the faces of the Burton players - even if we do not get three points it will show we have started to make some progress and give us some hope.

    Let's not forget, Burton have started poorly after being relegated. They're hardly going to be brimming with confidence.

    The key will be organisation, discipline, and desire - and without the first two, and a sense of understanding, you won't magically create the third.

    There's not long to instill that which was missing these last few games...

    Funny how we perceive things isn't it? Burton newly relegated club lacking in confidence. Barnsley just down from championship world beaters. They actually got the same number of points last year.

    Well I’m leaving the sunny climate of Kefalonia later today. I just hope for my 1st home game on Tuesday, the manager or who ever it is who sorts the team, formation and the tactics etc gets it right. Or else as people have said, the atmosphere could become very toxic at VP

    I would have to alter my diary so much to attend the Burton game, and I'm struggling to fit Wycombe in too. Yet our opening lack of form is making my decisions easier ......... I see little changing soon, on either front.

    Five family Birthdays to consider, starting the 25th (Saturday), in just 13 days. I am committed to attending three.
    And yes, Storck, just as you have other things on your mind (Hope all goes well ;)) so do others. Football is no longer a do or die past time.
    Like you, I also see 4 points as a bare minimum - But if it stops the rot ..... I'll take two Draws right now, to steady our ship.

    Worth £50 this to make a ton profit. I’d be looking to have a dabble on -1 too.

    Beat us and 3 wins in a row. I’d say that was a good start
