Brewers:3 U's:1 - Down in Albion

Yes, last night United, like Babyshambles, were down in Albion.

Not an entirely unpredictable result given Nigel Clough's side sparkling form of late, but a disappointment nevertheless. It sounded like (and yes, I know there's often a big gap between reality and what is uttered by Mssrs Johnson and Line) we had the bit between our teeth at 2-1, so it was a shame we let them kill the game off on the break. We need a bit of last seasons killer instinct, which seems to be lacking at present.

Interesting to see the Brabinator single out his mate Carden for a bit of stick. Perhaps it's an indication that he thinks some members of the side are getting a bit complacent? But then if that is the case, why bring Hatswell and Gleeson straight back in when young Coulson and MacAuley did well at the weekend? And indeed why start Willmott when both Pitt and Jardim are superior and available and haven't had flu? Questions, questions, questions.

Onwards and, er, onwards anyway, we've now got Saturday's MASSIVE local derby with the Villagers to look forward to, and I for one can't wait to see what kind of magic the FA Trophy has in store for us this year. After all, it's always been so generous to us in the past.
