Great to see Jacob Ramsey get a first start.  A few players in the shop window; Lansbury, Taylor, maybe AEG and Elmo

Sticking with my 3-1, Watkins hat-trick prediction but would be very happy for Jacob Ramsay to make it wrong by getting on the scoresheet. Big chance for him to play himself into the squad for the season.

I wonder who is first choice keeper for the first league game if we don’t sign another keeper in time. Judging by the selections so far, I think it’s Steer, with Nyland as our cup keeper.

Burton aren't my remit  but can tell you that Stephen Quinn is a dirty so and so expecting him to be fouling.
He was around for Bruce and Grealish debut if not mistaken. One of the Hull players fouling Jack.Flame haired Irish man. Bites your ankles full of nuisance value
Lawless by name lawless by nature and Bostwick expect them 3 to get physical
They bringing in a few first starts and some changed from their lost on weekend .
Not their strongest line up

Hemmings who Villa were linked with is the main source of goals I believe.  Poor man's troy deeney

The rest I can't vouch to any degree that try hards.
Who will be ultra competitiveness like Buxton the boss who's a bit of a get into them approach.

Finally be prepared for some terse language from side of pitch.
Very forthcoming sky will be apologising im sure




I think he meant ours.

Started slowly, but we've dominated the last half an hour and started to create chances. Quality of ball from El Ghazi (a corner apart) and Elmo has been poor mind.

Not sure what Lansbury does, but Ramsey is look promising. Nkamba is good in the tackle but poor in distribution.

Bad luck Ollie leaning back there, but he seems to have a knack of finding space in the box.

We were ordinary for the first bit but improved well after that.  Watkins has done well, Grealish is at the heart of everything and has got good support from Taylor.  Ramsey has buzzed around with energy and commitment albeit without producing much.  Central midfield are anonymous and Nakamba hasn't had a great game.  He had the ball nicked off him just after we equalised that almost led to Burton going in front again.

Agreed Dave. It seems nowadays it's almost obligatory to use squad players in the cup but at this stage in the season and particularly as we did not play this weekend gone and  play our first league match in 6 days it's a nonsense approach IMO.

Totally agree. I get why McGinn and Luiz are not playing, and why Trez and Konza don't need to show what they can offer, but where is Cash and where are the kids (Kesler, Barry, Archer and Bridge)?
