Chappers Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Exactly. We can moan all we like, but Burton got an unexpected point away to an in form team. As I've said elsewhere, if City went away to a top Prem side and got a point like that we'd all be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste time from 6 minutes into a game? Repeatedly stand in front of free kicks and kick the ball away? Kick it into areas of the pitch where there isn't a team mate within 20 yards? I certainly don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you swap, Burton are a very small club with a limited budget who are unlikely to ever play Championship football again, once they finally get relegated.

ZiderEyed Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Disagree with anti-football like that in every way. I don't think that exploiting the rule about head injuries and wasting time should be tolerated in football. They did a job on us tonight though, they got what they were after.

I wouldn’t want to pay my hard earned to watch that utter horse shit though, personally. No intent to attack, no quality, diving, feigning injury all night, time wasting..... it was horrible to watch. I had no axe to grind with Burton before last night.

TV Tom Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 If they tried to play any other way they would of got battered, not sure what even the great Brian Clough (best English manager in my time) Could of done with such a small time club as Burton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just making the point that if City played like that to achieve a good result, against a team with considerably greater resources, few would be on here moaning. 75% possession, 4 shots on target.

The Humble Realist Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Can't believe people slamming Burton....They've got such limited resources and splashed a huge amount of cash (for them)on a striker who got injured for the season before a ball was even kicked. They stitched us up but only in the same way villa and milwall did (be solid ...difficult to break down and frustrate )...and here's another thing GET USED TO IT ! If we want to challenge at the top end plenty of teams are going to do exactly that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to challenge at the top end plenty of teams are going to do exactly that . If you think they played in the same way as Villa & Millwall did I'd suggest you visit the opticians. Millwall were very long ball but had 10 corners (Burton had none) and pinned us in our own half for decent spells with high energy pressing. We played far better in the Villa game but even then we just shaded possession. Burton completely surrendered two thirds of the pitch and usually had 10 men behind the ball, they also had the lowest amount of possession of any side we have played this season. It was like playing a non league side trying to keep the score down. I said to the people sitting by me it was like watching a game against San Marino.

CrazyInWeston Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 The thing is, we need to find a way around it, if we keep beating teams that try to have at it and open to attack, then other teams will just see out the 2nd half of the season by what do you call it... "parking the bus" because they can see that it will grind to a goalless draw rather than a loss and thats what they would want vs a team thats currently in form and beating teams out for attack. Gotta start thinking more creatively to get around these feckin buses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough Burton didn't play the same way going forward as milwall and villa but their game plan was much the same. Keep shape without the ball , don't commit too many men forward , defend the edge of the box and play on the break. Villa obviously have significantly better attackers than Burton. Barnsley and derby both turned up trying to have a bit of a go at us and look at how it turned out for them. I agree about time wasting and fake injuries and think that's poor form but ultimately we couldn't break them down and bywater barely had a save to make (we can't blame the ref or time wasting for that). All of the above being said....unbeaten in 10 and up in the play offs. Great start to the season and we ourselves are difficult to beat and break down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
