Excellent, back on our travels. Looking forward to this, it's been ages since I've stood on a proper terrace. Cracking ground is the Pirelli.
Well, be interesting to see how we're looking injury wise. Hopefully LDV and Kingsley aren't out and can play. Jones and Ray probably won't be available for selection until Saturday. If I was Davis, I would pull Jones out of the U21s game and start him in this game. King and Atkinson are stealing a living at the moment and both need dropping. Start Jones alongside Fox, Inman and Wilson out wide and Haber and LDV(fitness depending upfront). If LDV is injured, put Colclough in instead.
As for Burton, they've hit the buffers a little bit of late. 2 defeats in 2, 6 conceded and none scored. Has their after promotion momentum died off? Haven't scored 1 on merit in their last 4 as well. Still got some tidy players though. Beavon is a decent striker at this level, the wide men Duffy, El Khayati and Akins are all handfuls.
I'll be honest, I'm hopeful we can get a result here. All 6 of our away games, we've been in them and had chances to get results out of the ones we've lost. 3 unbeaten on the road, only conceded 3 in our last 4, which is pretty good for us. Obviously Burton are pretty decent at home, but then Barnsley had a decent record before we rocked up. We'll probably play pretty shoddily and be get dominated for large parts of the game, but hopefully we can grab something here. I'm going for an optimistic 1-1 draw.
