Burton Albion v. Manchester United

Howard has looked class so far. Great keeper.
 
I'd prefer to see Ole up front and Rooney brought in to do a midfield job today. I don't see the point in using a player who isn't fit in a creative role at all.
 
i hope we havent underestimated the opposition again with our lineup

They're amateurs...is it even POSSIBLE for you to underestimate them?

What could you have estimated them as?

they beat our reserves in preseason

the pitch is a mess

they will play the game of their lives

we've had our fingers burnt before by lower league

i feel a few more first teamers should have been in there from the start, then if and when we get a few goals start phasing the subs on

Smith and Park get injured shortly before kick off. :rolleyes:

They're having the to-be-expected early flurry....granted it's now lased half an hour, but you'll score one and it'll all die down for them.

Ole not been in the game..cant really expect too much

We might be able to expect more if he was up front.

He's been out for two years, and he's playing in a mediocre midfield on a crap pitch. I would have Rooney and Ronaldo in midfield, and put Ole up front with Saha......when you're coming back from long term injury it might be nice to play in your natural position, rather than be used as a work horse.
 
Just not passing well at the moment.And nothing to do with the pitch.

I agree,can see it changing at half time if things dont improve.

Totally agree.
