Squad

A fracture rules Charlie Webster out for 88 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Burton Albion will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

Nobody wins at Burton Albion

16 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Market

Sam Hart is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Burton Albion is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Player ratings

Ross Stewart, 34, rolls back the years — 8.06

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.06 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market

Julot Monteyne hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Burton Albion can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Words exchanged at Burton Albion

Caylan Vickers and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Ross Stewart is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.31 with 13 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad

A row about effort at Burton Albion

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ross Stewart was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Inter tell Burton Albion: Jesper Lindstrøm is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match

Caylan Vickers leads the rout of Charlton Athletic

3‑0, and Caylan Vickers took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Burton Albion tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings

Both of them Caylan Vickers's — 8.65

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.65, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Burton Albion

The unbeaten run reaches 9. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Market

Dexter Xuereb asks to leave Burton Albion

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout

Hugo Basto says Burton Albion went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

The step up is real for Adam Damois

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Market

Francesco Bellone has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Burton Albion they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Caylan Vickers in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Burton Albion this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Julot Monteyne is a Burton Albion player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.
