Burton Albion v The Invincibles Post-Match Thread

Really happy with that! Same again against Bolton and the right results for us and we will back in the minimum acceptable position of top 6.

After a game like that, you just want to sit back and bask in a warm glow of endorphins. Long may those performances continue.

This is much more like it.  These are the sort of performances that we should have seen a handful of in the last 8-9 months and every time we looked like we could get one we backed away and looked scared of imposing ourselves.  That meant that every time we got a run of form before it felt temporary, hopefully we can now build on this and we'll see the team on the pitch that most of us could see on paper.  I still have a slight concern that Kodjia is where the difference has come from rather than anything done by the coaching/management but if I'm honest I don't care for now, getting the points on the board whilst things are working is what matters.

That was the much mentioned smashing that someone was eventually going to get. They got it, and good.

Some lovely play in the build up for Adomah's goal. Lovely through ball from Snodgrass and good work from Hogan for Onomah's.

No sure where to get hold of endorphins but cannabis does it for me.

There was a wonderful knife through butter quality in the goals that I really enjoyed.

I have watched that adomah goal quite a few times

That's a great phrase. One which hasn't really applied to much of our football in recent years.

It's tended to be more 'sledgehammer into slab of lard'.

We truly have progressed from 'Lard Football' to 'Liquid Football'.

A good win, some decent football and very enjoyable to watch. Well done Brucey.

Cracking stuff

Got back in a bit earlier after being at the game.  It was all over at 2-0 really and was certainly sewn up by half-time.  Lots of positives - I thought we looked dangerous on the break and Snodgrass is looking a lot sharper.  Elmohamady has settled well at RB and Terry and Chester looked assured.  Whelan and Hourihane look to be forming a promising central midfield partnership as well, although both did give the ball away at times. 

Only real downside for me was the lack of impact from the bench.  I thought Onomah was poor and Bjarnason struggled again.  Interesting that Snodgrass picked out Hogan's run off the 4th goal and the latter did well to keep his composure. Would have liked to see O'Hare, but not to be.

A friend knows someone who works at Burton and he got us tickets sitting on the front row right behind Steve Bruce (loads of Villa fans in the Burton ends).  It was interesting to hear him throughout the game and he had a bit of running battle with Kodjia at times.  He didn't seem to be instructing players to go long and was screaming at the defence at times to push out.
