It's all well and good saying that "when you need to win surely you try to be offensive" while complaining that the ball went sideways and backwards, but it doesn't really tell you anything about how the game played out, nor does it credit Burton for their game plan.

They've looked at our game vs other strugglers this season and seen that if they sit back and let us have the ball, then try to hit us on the break they're very likely to come away with a point at worst.

We moved the ball pretty well for most parts, but Burton sat 9 men behind the ball with just Mason Bennett staying forward (for the most part). We don't have the creativity wide to unlock teams sitting deep.

There was a lot of space centrally for us to exploit, but Reid, List and Pressley were often too slow dropping in to those areas to make use of it - we could have done with Jordan Roberts starting yesterday. He'd have caused havoc in those areas.

It highlighted issues in our squad, and I don't think Phil Wallace pumped in an extra £mil in to the club recently for the summer window to be quiet.

I'd expect a fuck ton of changes.
