That could have pissed a few people off.

With Charlie going off injured it was suprising to see Slatter introduced and Jukebox stuck up front - with Luke Moore on the bench.

Yes - certainly very strange to see Liam 'do a Manny' on Moore, given how much he's been singing his praises.

[EUFC superb]

Surely, on what I've heard of the pitch, it'd be a better idea to leave Luke out as he isn't experienced enough on that type of pitch? (I.E Causing injuries?)

Experience of those kind of surfaces has to come at some stage. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Nigel Clough seems to think they were done out of at least one penalty :-

 

Burton Albion boss Nigel Clough believes Dale Anderson should have gone down after he had his heels clipped by Gravesend defender Brett Johnson on Saturday.

 

Instead, much to the frustration of his manager, the striker stayed on his feet, denying the Brewers a penalty and a fifth consecutive victory as the clash ended goalless.

 

Clough told the Burton Mail: "We thought we had two other decent shouts for a penalty, but Dale not going down was the most frustrating incident.

 

"It would have been an absolutely clear penalty but when Dale had been touched, he was too honest and stayed on his feet because he thought he could finish it himself.

 

"But there are few situations in a game that are better than a penalty. If we'd have got that one and it had gone in, we would have been ecstatic."

[Harry J Allstars]

So he blames the game with us on his players failure to dive? I wonder if he blames tonights defeat at the hands of Forest Green Rovers on their failure to get players sent off?

Isn't Dartford new stadium going to be the same size as Burtons ie 6,000 ?

 

We need to aim for something similar with a potential to rise to 60,000 once we are in the Premiership.

[Rainham Bob]

I've heard that Dartford's capacity has been reduced so that they don't come under the new regulations for sports stadia that have meant the closure of the Plough end.

Behave superb, either he's good enough or he's not - the pitch makes no difference.

A good unbiased match report, now on the Burton site.

[EUFC superb]

I found the NLP's report quite biased the BBC said Craig played well whereas the NLP mentioned Zilch about him.

How charming to see a manager advocating cheating.

And he looks such a nice boy

Report on the Burton site was quite good. It's nice to see a site with a match report that isn't biased towards the side who's site it is, if you get what I mean.
