If you think upson and nichols have been good players for the club that's up to you but i think they have been dreadful. Their tenure overall has been dreadful it's true.However this season they've really picked up. You do have to wonder if it's because they're both in the last season of their contract though? Nichols agree with, but Upson showed a big improvement in his form when GC took over. probably, gone up a notch though this season. Let's be happy that they are improving and getting some goals, eh !

Josh Hare was the signing that most excited me this summer as he is young, looking to establish himself in the football league and got into the National League team of the season last year. We’ve thrived on those sorts of players in years gone by so it’s pleasing to see that this is looking like another decent non league signing. wouldn't it be great if we could get a left winger like that now !?

Has anyone seen the U18s yet this season. I noticed they had a home game at a new venue yesterday, did anyone on here go ? I remember watching this group years ago - some talented players - Phillips, a centre forward always impressed me. There was also Ollie Hulbert too - but haven't seen his name on the team- list - is he injured or no longer at the club ? Cheers for any news. UTG ! p.s. I lost one of my U8s that I coached to Rovers in the summer - fantastic little player so no surprises he was signed up - and the good news is City and Cardiff were also interested in him but he chose The Gas. What is his name ? So we know who to look out for in the coming yrs ha ha Yatton it's a bloody long journey U9s to being a pro - his first name is Henri - a nice standout name

The big man has to play Nichols and win 3-1. I agree Nichols must start but I wouldn’t be surprised if the GC went with Smith instead. Smith to wear them down and let Nichols get a tap-in at the end after coming on.

Why does our manager continuously blow smoke up opposition managers asses and say how much of a tough game it’s going to be and that there a really good side. Every single pre match interview identical. So much for 5% opposition but isn't he right ? Clough at Burton and Coleman at Accie are bloody good managers and their teams play football the right way.

Bishop has started the season well enough, but it will be interesting to see if he can maintain his goal scoring at this level longer term. I have my doubts. I think England U19 centre back Aji Alese could be a good loan signing for Accrington after he joined from West Ham. Fortunately for us Sean McConville is suspended for the game. He's ripped us apart previously. Are you going to the game Wes ?

Well a really cynical person might wonder why tom nichols and ed upson are showing good form in what is most likely to be the final year of their contract. I believe both players have been very very poor but they look better so far this season. Wow ! yes you are cynical.

Moore only seemed interested when his contract was ending, couldnt be arsed the rest of the time. L2 standard at best. Thank god ed upson and tom nichols are not like that. can you explain ?

Because that side had won the last 2 league games and Smith and JCH had linked up well. He rested the strikers in the cup game, but reverted back to the same team today. I can't recall Smith & JCH ever linking up well, Smith just looks a younger lighter weight version of Reilly, I just can't understand why he's starting games over our own striker who's now finally learnt how to score, we lost yesterday as we didn't score when we were on top for most of the second half. Smith's better than Reilly. He's only 20 ?? but maybe needs to rotate a bit with Nichols/Adebajayo while he's still finding his feet in L1. Nichols still had 20 mins to score so enough time. We have to do better to score away.

Good report, but I'd have knocked 2 points off Craig's score as we had at least a draw in the bag but for Craig letting the goalscorer turn and shoot, I can't see JCH ever being allowed to do that at the other end. Dropping Nichols for the lightweight Smith was a total mystery as was not making the change far sooner. Burton exist as Pirelli paid for their new ground and they train at St Georges so they've no stadium etc overheads. How they managed to beat us on the pitch with players like JJOT at CB is another matter! JJOT was very strong at the back for them but disappointing to not win as 2 of their key players went off injured.

We played well Steve in the 2nd but did we really create any great chances ? If Leahy's wasn't as easy as it looked ? Unfortunately, Akins - who played really well for them - fashioned one out of nothing and that was that. There was a lot of promise 2nd half. but sometimes I think our players have to be a bit braver and take players on (Leahy and Hare out wide getting passed the full backs for example), or more one-twos around the box to get behind the back line. Also, why can't we start games better - again we let Burton get on top at the start - a better team would've been 1 up.
On a positive, Kilgour, Davies and Hare look very promising. Think they're going to have very good seasons for us. UTG !

Jaakkola 6 why do most of his kicks go to tiny Smith and not JCH
Davies 7 Craig 6.5 Kligour 7.5 quality young player (best player in first half)
Hare 7 Clarke 6 let ball get away from him a fair few times (and in good positions) Upson 7.5 very good game Ogogo 7 Leahy 6 Looked from the side like he missed a sitter in 2nd ( he's missed some chances in last few games)
Smith 6 missed a good chance first half Clarke-Harris 7
Subs: Nichols 6.5 Adeboyejo too short
Crowd 7 Ref 6 Burton 7 Very frustrating result. Burton had the edge first half but we were on top for most of the second. Leahy should've scored and a few balls just didn't quite fall for us. Our corners (we had so many in 2nd) are too predictable. From looking like winners or at minimum 0 - 0 we got done. Akins clearly their best player scored out of nothing. Much better than Coventry but would like us get the ball down and play from the first minute instead of taking 30 mins to warm up !

Such a good point there.. Im in love with the gas.Love our fanbase,our modest history,everything about our club - even our shocking ground.But I HATE EVERYTHING about football from the championship up. The Premiership while an exciting product for goals is a souless money driven brand that is there to make money from oversea TV contracts. The history of the FA and League cups have gone as teams would rather want to finish 4th in the Premier league so they can play in the champions league (another comp thats been f**ked up by the greed of money over the years) Its a disgrace that a club like Bury have gone to the wall - and Bolton could well follow, yet we have prem under 21 teams playing in the lower level trophy. Look at all the big clubs that have dropped down to L1 level during the premiership era from mis-management of cash.While small clubs like Bournemouth are pumped by rich bussiness men and premiership money. I can see another 5 - 10 clubs going like Bury over the next 10/20 years if nothing changes,which it wont due to greed.A player like Sanchez is earning 400k a week for doing f**k all while a club goes bust and peoples lives get f**ked up. As I said, I love the Gas but hate everything else about todays football. I completely share your views icegas. It's sickening the way football has transformed into this international monster of greed. I despise how lower league clubs are shat on by the upper echelons. The youth teams in the trophy, the EPPP, the removal of emergency loans, the imminent removal of tribunals (allegedly). It all absolutely stinks and any sympathy they have for Bury and their staff and supporters ring completely hollow in light of the aforementioned schemes that are set up purely to benefit the big clubs, and to take away benefits from the smaller ones. They do not give a s***. Isn't this just a reflection of the capitalist model in most of the the first world ??

The chair of the EFL is currently talking on Talksport. Being very defensive and trying to take as little responsibility for the situation as possible. She claims the EFL will learn lessons but from what she is saying I’m sure they will make a few changes and when something happens again they will once again say it’s out of their hands. Before everyone starts slagging off the EFL and Tom's dad and his sister Mary, this is the first expulsion from the League since Maidstone in 1992.

Bennett is a useful player to have in the squad. A potential game changer and we really don't have many of those. Yes he lacks consistency but most flair players do and we have so few attacking midfielders can we afford to let one go? I think the answer to that is definitely not, unless GC can bring in better.
