Cue a link to a Burton forum saying how arrogant we are.

I just had a look and noticed one of your old friends...

I must say I'd forgotten that they'd signed Bent. That worries me a bit.

No time for complacency now.

We've got to press the life out of them and hold that high line we had against Barnsley, where our full backs were starting off 35 yards from their goal.

Same team for me, but with Lansbury, Green and Grabban on the bench with Axel, Jedi, Taylor and Bunn.

I noticed our old friend there too.

Bent hasn't played this year so he can hardly be match fit. If you couple that with not being very fit anyway I can't see him getting more than 1 goal.

Bent was finished when he left us. He's got worse since hence his move to bottom of the table Burton.

Think we need to change things around a bit. Spent a lot of Tuesday night chasing the ball and it was a fairly physical game.

AA definitely needs a breather....Green for him. Would leave Elmo out too and give Bree another go. Hourihane's threat from outside the box could be crucial. 3-0 cruise...

Keep our heads, get a couple of goals and take the momentum into next week! Recently started a job that doesn't involve weekend work, I'm absolutely buzzing to attend more regularly again and this is my first game. UTV!

would take a 1-0 win now. No games in this league are easy.

Hope we keep up our good record against them. The worry is that we’re thinking more about the match after Burton.

Will be weird seeing Bent play for them.
