Newcastle up next, probably best time to play them while there still sorting themselves out. Still we'll need to play a hell of a lot better.

Norwich up next.

Can we extend Tammy's loan, I don't know, say 5 years??

Make it ten; just to be safe...

Absoultely buzzing.

Stuck in work on a pig of a shift till half time, but caught the second half, so that's my Saturday evening made.

These cans of haze I got in are getting tanned, I tell ee.

Surely were not top of the championship what a great sight. It probably won't finish that way . But your making us dream city . Brilliant

Ofcourse it is, jumping the gun there. My bad.

My thinking exactly.

Took us a fair few games to pick up this number of points last year; delighted to be 10% of the way to safety...

[Northern Red]

Wouldn't want to be stuck in the trenches with some of you lot...

Enjoy it while we can and hopefully it will be a lot longer.

If the team is work in progress then this represents a great start.

Once again LJ shows his knack of making changes at the right time to influence the outcome of the game.

As a reality check we've played two prompted teams and the real tests will come against teams like Derby, Brighton and Wednesday - tried and tested Championship clubs who will be in contention at the top of the table at the end of the season.

In the meantime  there are no complaints from me, and 3 wins can only build confidence. If LJ can decide his best team and formation, we could have a very decent season ahead.

Eight games and after nine games only 7 points

[stogursey red]

final match stats, Burton must wonder what more they could have done

 

[Loco Rojo]

Am I going mad or am I right in thinking there's no recall in the loan deal for Tammy?

[Major Isewater]

Sorry lads , I was n't really concentrating.

Early season schoolboy error .

As long as he play X number of games. I don't know how many, but probably 20 or so.

[ChippenhamRed]

What I like about this is that it just slightly takes the pressure off the two tough games coming up, which might just help us get positive results.

To be fair there isn't a lot in that and possession can be a misleading stat at times.

Certainly feel as though we dominated games much more than that at times and still lost. Just glad it's the other way around now!

Pretty sure LJ said there was no 'standard recall' so I'd assume provided we abide by the terms agreed (No. of apps ect) he's 100% ours for the season.

I admire the hope of one of the callers to Twentyman a few minutes ago.

He seemed to thing that we should sign Tammy on a permanent basis and that a sub 4 million quid offer might be sufficient.

Deluded or optimistic, or a bit of both.

[stephenkibby.]

Some poor lad just said on the phone in we should sign Tammy on a permanent!!!

We should! Unlikely, I'm sure…

Bit of both there I think, reckon we'd need to treble that just to get them to give it a passing thought. Lads got so much potential.

Hmmm think this may have been the first goal actually. Josh Brownhill was subbed before Tammy's winner.
