FIXTURE | Barnsley vs Burton Fixture News New date confirmed for Burton Albion home fixture. Continue reading on the official site...
4 days before Pompey away hmmm I guess it had to be 4 days before playing someone but surely a better date could’ve been chosen?
Exactly. Portsmouth away is a massive game in our season. They are all big but away at a team we are trying to hunt down is huge. I would have preferred no mid week game beforehand so they had a week to focus on it and rest up between games.
Could be a good thing. By then 3 more points could really put pressure on top 2, if we're not already doing so.
Took em some time to re arrange I thought Brexit was gonna be sorted out before this way we were going
Can see this being the end of our unbeaten home record sadly with one eye on that Saturday match. Come on Reds prove me wrong
If you're wanting promotion then you should be good enough to beat Burton at home and give it a good go at Portsmouth
Well I'm sure Burton had some input too. It's not like we just pick a date and give them a call. Remember it's they who are having to travel midweek having already made the journey once this season.
Yeah I get that. Just out of all the Tuesdays we could’ve proposed to them it’s typical that it’s the one before we are away at Portsmouth.
I think we already have fixtures on those dates, only the 1st and 2nd round dates were blank for our level.
That'll be almost exactly one year on from possibly the lowest of even Morais' lows - that first half against them last time was truly appalling.
Portsmouth have QPR and Peterborough in the cups, if they win them and they both look winnable, they’ll be playing Tuesday, Saturday, for weeks, maybe months if the weather takes a few fixtures at some point too, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up playing them on a Tuesday towards the end of the season.
