Match

Chastening afternoon for Burton Albion

A 1‑4 beating by Stockport County was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Match

The wait goes on for Burton Albion

9 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match

A hiding for Burton Albion

Beaten 0‑3 by Wycombe Wanderers, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

The dugout

Pierre Dwomoh 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.

Transfer targets

Junior Tchamadeu will not be coming to Burton Albion

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Newcastle United is saying, and nobody at Burton Albion is enjoying the guessing.

Squad

A falling-out at Burton Albion

Jack Cooper-Love and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Burton Albion

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad

A row about effort at Burton Albion

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

Transfer targets

Burton Albion rebuffed over Junior Tchamadeu

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Newcastle United have kept their man, and Burton Albion go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

In brief
