As anticipated. If the Rochdale and Derry City managers are turning Burton down, then Bell certainly isn't leaving a club in a better position than those two for Burton either.
Serious issues going on at Burton if they still haven't appointed a manager yet.
First point - Great for his own financial security. Not so great if they're on a rotten run that he gets sacked before the end of the season without a chance to rebuild and his career and reputation in tatters. I'd stick it out for a bigger and more stable club.
Second point - News probably...
If it was someone like Bolton who are surely on the verge of sacking Evatt then I'd expect him to be approached and leave.
But this is Burton. I don't care about the newfound riches they have. They probably have one of the lowest ceilings for growth in the 92 given how surrounded they are by...
Can't defend to save their lives. Funnily enough they went 1 up against us as early as Vale did today but then they chose to sit back all game and once they tired, we took the game to them and scored two in the last 10 minutes to win the game and kick start our season. We were also pretty...
It's an equally good result for Vale and Crewe. Vale because getting away with something after being dominated for an entire half is always a positive and us for getting a point at the league leaders away from home which you'd take at 8pm. Great opportunity for us and Walsall to reel Vale back...
Moore just mentioned that in his post match interview as well said it was frustrating but didn't lay into him too much. I have a feeling he'll tee off at Harper though behind the scenes for that red which he has no complaints about.
Equally, I found us standing off Shorrock and giving him so...
Doing your own players a massive disservice there. There's always a false expectancy that playing against 10 men is easy. It really isn't and we've had problems playing against 10 men for years. The fact your defenders and keeper were outstanding throughout such a one sided half meant it was a...
Very good performance from us. Vale scoring early threw our gameplan out of the window immediately but that happened to be their only shot on target of the game and they didn't really work Marschall at all.
Harper is brain dead. Honestly I despised him when he played in our historically bad...
When he first took over he tried his philosophy but we got well beaten by 10 man Luton, Doncaster and it culminated in a humiliating loss at a soon to be relegated Hartlepool where we got battered 4-0. The only time it had worked really was when we beat you 5-0 and blew you away in the opening...
It's actually mental we've conceded more goals in the league in August than we have in September, October and November combined so far so I'm not sure calling our defence vulnerable is accurate. You'll struggle to find a better defence in this league statistically. They had a mad opening 10...
Don't get the defeatism about "not being able to compete" with Vale. Gillingham are paying daft wages compared to most yet I think our squad and management are well ahead of theirs in quality. Vale are a very good side but are they as strong as Wrexham and Stockport last season? I'm not so sure...
Well worth considering it took us 2 years for things to finally click under Artell and then we became one of the league's best sides. From what I can see, you're in a much better position now than we were after his first year in charge where we were losing far too many matches, conceding far too...
