We are going to destroy Burton on Saturday. Very confident.

Either that or it will be a really edgy, nervous 1-0 or 2-1. What I don't think it will be is a routine, comfortable 2-0 or indeed anything other than a home win.

I'd like a clean sheet [win obviously] - possibly too much recent bed wetting for this to be achieved through .....

Yes, a clean sheet has suddenly become very important. For a team who looked brilliant at the back this season to suddenly concede three in three consecutive games in league and cup is concerning. Hopefully a clean sheet tomorrow will get the defence back on track.

They've got some key players unavailable haven't they? COG, Dyer, McFadzean at least?

If they play 3-5-1 it will be a defensive set-up with a packed midfield rather than an offensive one with wing backs pushing forward. Expecting a game with very little space to play passing football.

They've signed a few quite interesting loanees, though. Michael Kightly (Burnley) and Cauley Woodrow (Fulham) who both scored in their win last week, and the winger Lasse Vigen Christensen who scored Fulham's (jammy deflected) winner at the Amex last season.

If they play 3-5-1 we should have space to play as they will only have 10 players on the pitch!

Very difficult to know what to put as my correct score bet. I got QPR right but they looked an absolute shambles. I can see Burton fighting for every ball and it's not impossible they could score especially as they've brought in some fair players in January including Michael Kightly.
