Views from the Match Thread ahead of kick-off:

sedgleyimp: “Tonight’s game will be tough, but should at least be a less agricultural watch than Saturday’s match thanks to the opposition.

Burton are as good as safe so just perhaps they will take their foot off the gas a little. Here’s hoping.”

Scotimp: “Burton’s record under Jimmy-Floyd Riverbaink has been outstanding, especially considering he took over a squad that was ageing badly and heading for relegation. They had 13 points from 21 games when he arrived, but since then:

P20 W12 D3 L5 Pts39 PPG: 1.95

Over a full season, that would probably mean automatic promotion.

Having said that, they have won only one of their last four home games, so perhaps it is levelling off.”

Rasenimp: “Hopefully we can play well and get a result but I really don’t think this is going to be like the first game!”
