Can't see anything other than a convincing 90min performance, some structure/formation, discipline etc being enough to pacify those going today. Undoubtedly the team has quality but seem unable (unwilling even..?) to put this together for 2 halves. If we go behind, i dread to think what the atmosphere will be like - and then it becomes about determination, resolve, character, desire....throw into the mix the team's current mental fragility under pressure and it could, could be, a tinderbox. That said, we have to use the seriousness of the current situation to best advantage, time for round pegs & round holes, a formation to take the game to Burton, not merely contain them, and go out there with a commitment to get the job done. Play with a freedom, a passion....something that says 'we're here to play football and here to win'... A win, 2-0, 3-1, is a must i feel today. Along with a performance. 2 up front please, no messing around. 3 at the back, 5 across the middle, play with intent & width. Start the game at pace, leave everything on the pitch at the end. No excuses. COYR!

Perhaps they just need to employ their centre half as a striker, after all he managed to dribble past the keeper on Sat to score.....oh hang on, that was an own goal of the highest quality!

@havanatopia An extraordinarily passionate, articulate, constructive post, given everything that's gone on in the last week, let alone the season so far, best matchday post... If the team could harness just 10% of the passion & fire & commitment that you write with and the fans support with, through thick and thin, the good and the bad (and at times the downright mediocre)...then it should be odds on for City win today. But part of me, part of me, can see us being frustrated by the Millers, they've got nothing to lose, effectively down already, that if we aren't at least 2 up by half time, then you can imagine the reaction. Today is about desire, 'wanting it', but alot to do with patience, both on the pitch and in the stands. 4-0 up in 20 mins or 1-0 in last minute, i don't care but we simply HAVE to win. Drawing or losing isn't an option today. COYR!
