Burton had great spirit yesterday and fully deserved the draw. We created enough chances to win but failed to convert them.
If we learn from that then some good will come out of the game
i can only echo that.
It seems that our initial success has raised expectations to a new height, what we have to remember is that attendances don't win football matches 8-)

Agreed, Bob but they must be used to our advantage when we play at home.

Agreed, we don't have a divine right to win every game. Obviously we're disappointed with the draw, but on another day, we would have won if it wasn't for their keeper, who was VERY good.
Son of a former Diamond, what can you say! ;)

Whether we like it or not, we are viewed as the 'Man Utd' of the UCL. When teams play us, it is going to be their 'Cup 'Final', and they will raise their game accordingly. Better get used to it!

This is true, but we seem to have lost that singing crew :?

I agree, Bob. A bit of effort needs to be made for Tuesday evening and all this changing ends at halftime needs to be stopped. Our fans changed ends on Saturday and then proceeded to be as quiet as church mice. Seems to me that they choose to change ends to get a close up view of us attacking and then make zero vocal sport. Can't understand it.:evil:

To be honest with you, it works both ways. If I was watching something that was mildly encouraging rather than the dross that was on the pitch on Saturday, I think I may have been more vocal.
I don't know why this is even being discussed really. If you want a bit more atmosphere, take it upon yourself to stir up the crowd instead of relying on us 'singers' to do so.
