Burton v Tamworth

This is our traditional New Years derby fixture. On past seasons no matter how badly we are playing at the time, we usually go to the Lamb and get a draw and then take all three points back at our place in the reverse fixture. As AMP points out in an earlier post we have already secured the draw at Tamworth on Boxing day and I fully expect us to beat them today 3-1. The reasons for this are as far as I am aware we do not have any new injuries and we are playing better at this stage of the season than in seasons past when have still managed to beat Tamworth at our place. We have the big match next week with Man Utd in the cup and Nigel could suprise us and rest some players for that game but I do not think he will as a good result today could see us into the top half of the conference for the first time in ages.
