    Redrum, we have a midfielder playing up front with cole today.

    Burton seem content to play backwards and across the back all afternoon and have had nobody consistently pressuring them.

    Do you honestly not think James Norwood wouldn’t have injected a bit of pace and more pressure on the ball today? Or at least got us out of first gear? We are tepid.

    Nobody ever suggested Norwood was a better goalscorer than Cole.

    I'd have started Cosgrove or Marsh today instead of playing a number 10 as a striker.

    He was our best striker last season. Good to see him having another good season and a few eating their words. And I can name plenty strikers who have never had a good season.

    Dave Regis didn't... he looks fitter and leaner this year. Obviously put the work in ... hard work is paying off

    Coles footballing brain has changed. He seems to use his pace when he needs to. He don't rush things even though he can with his pace. He's working smart not fast. Fair play. He's more than a fan favourite.

    Keep them coming!

    We are different this year, with the obvious incoming and outgoings.
    Mctee is more lively than our other options imho and I would continue to start him.....until Cozy or Watters get match fit

    Mcatee reminds me of Marley Watkins. That worked well with Winnall in 2015/16 and 16/17. Some players just click.

    I am sure I am alone on this given those around me all differed. Man of the match for me today. Oh well. :)
