New year, new ground as the Whites head off to Staffordshire for their first ever visit to Burton upon Trent to take on the Albion. Promoted last season and to be fair more than holding their own at the moment, higher in the league than ex Premier League teams Blackburn and Wigan P Athletic. Like us they will be in the bottom three for budgets hopefully they will stay up and with Nigel Clough as manager they will every chance of doing that.
Last time out they won at Rotherham with goals bt the impressive Jackson Irvine and Chris O'Grady, the win gives them a bit of breathing space above the bottom three. They are hard to beat on their own patch given that the capacity is 6912 it will be a very compact stadium and pitch quite different from some of the grounds we have played on this season.
Given the transfer window is now open there is a possibility they may do some business before the game tomorrow.
In the victory against the Millers was Shaun Barker who has basically been out of the game for four years due to injury and not having a club. Jamie Ward was also on the substitute's bench returning from a longish lay off.
Grayson has stated there will be a few changes given that it is our second game in three days so Gallagher and McGeady may not start again after being out for a while and playing yesterday however we have the three new lads who are now available, Horgan and Boyle from Dundalk and Barkuizen from Morecambe, so a bit more competition for places but will Bailey Wright be in the squad, if not suggest transfer on the cards.
Burton is famous for brewing beer and also Branston Pickle was invented in an area of the town suspect the former may get some use tomorrow.
