Clare's having a stinker. Remember Wigan fans saying he was alright as a central midfielder but is a poor full back.

That and the earlier Kelman chance on about 30 mins could well cost us come the end of the match.

Absurd booking for DJ that. Yeah the bloke is hurt but what is DJ supposed to do? Not try to kick the ball when it’s right in front of goal?

Sweeney's head is the only decent connection DJs boot has made all half.

Not match fit and not an RB. Definitely an area we need to have another go at addressing in summer, with Clare focusing on the midfield role in future.

Ahead at HT, sloppy finishing at both ends. We need to sharpen up second half, can't let this result get away.

Let's be honest, we still aren't looking like a team capable of making the play offs. Burton's manager is doing well to eek what he is out of a clearly dogsh*t team. Their keeper is Hemmings esque.

Could be 3-0 up but we should be running the game and putting things together far better. In 7th place at the moment. COYO's wake up!!!

Need the 2nd goal, especially with Clare at FB.
He is not a FB, has been very poor, but sadly we have no other option.
As for DJ, sorry not good enough, we have 4 players on the bench who should be playing ahead of DJ

I dunno. Every team is scrapping at this stage of the season. Away on a Tuesday night against a team who’s had some good results. We haven’t been great but we’ve done alright. Just a little lack of sharpness and final ball.

Get O’Neill on.

Unusually, a poor first half from Matt Hiscocks. A poor pass fron Clare he said was Reg, and then Happe's great clearance he credited to Reg.
Dave never argues so these then get repeated on his radio London summaries.

A bizarre decision. If you dive head first at someone's boot, that's what's going to happen

This is an abysmal game quality wise. Both teams giving the ball away constantly. Should be burying this lot.

REG seems to be earning his money tonight. And Happe coming back makes such a difference.

FFS 1-1 those missed chances in the first half are going to cost us dear if we aren't careful.

Ffs. Been coming. They were bound to finish one of those. Don’t know why we haven’t made any subs. Front 4 offered nothing this half and we have a decent bench
