BREWERS HIT ROCK BOTTOM AGAIN (29/10/05)

With Burton's game with Altrincham not until tomorrow, results elsewhere in the Conference have seen the Brewers slide to the foot of the table for the second time this season.

Scarborough, who were the only team between Burton and the foot of the table, picked up a point in a 3-3 draw with fellow strugglers Aldershot Town.

A draw would be enough for the Brewers to move up the table, whilst a win could see them end the day as high as 16th place. The last time Nigel Clough's team went into a match at the bottom of the table, they ended up with a 2-1 win away at Exeter City!!!

Tomorrow's game at the Pirelli Stadium kicks off at 2pm.

FA CUP PREVIEW (21/10/05)

The Brewers begin on the 2005/06 FA Cup trail with a Staffordshire derby against Leek Town. Despite the visitors being bottom of the Unibond League Premier Division, this could still be a tricky test.

The Brewers will have to field a makeshift midfield as Darren Stride is suspended after his red card at Hereford, and Lee Bell has been refused permission to play in the FA Cup by Crewe. It leaves Nigel Clough with only 15 first team players after Dan Crane and Eric Graves both went out on loan this week to Moor Green and Gresley Rovers respectively. [MATCH PREVIEW]

HEREFORD UNITED 2 BURTON ALBION 0 (15/10/05)

BURTON ALBION 3 STEVENAGE BOROUGH 1 (08/10/05)

Three goals in the first half hour set up a fantastic win at a rain soaked Pirelli Stadium. Aaron Webster opened the scoring, bagging his 50th goal for the club in the process, before two goals from Jon Shaw.

The visitors staged a siege on the Burton penalty area in the second half, but could only manage to pull one goal back through Anthony Elding.

The win lifts the Brewers to 18th place, and along with other results drops Tamworth to the foot of the table. [MATCH REPORT]

AUSTIN IN POLE POSITION (08/10/05)

Defender Ryan Austin currently tops the table in the contest to be crowned CTMD player of the season. Despite not featuring in the first five games of the season, Ryan has put in a string of impressive performances in recent weeks which have won him the acclaim of the fans.

In second place is last years winner, Chris Hall. Again Chris has only recently regained his starting place in the side, but his 100% commitment in each game he plays has also been recognised by the fans. Keith Gilroy is currently in third position.

CLOUGH RINGS THE CHANGES (07/10/05)

There will be two new faces in the line-up to face Stevenage Borough tomorrow. Goalkeeper Saul Deeney joins on a non-contract basis after being released by Notts County, whilst midfielder Lee Bell joins on a months loan from Crewe Alexandra.

Both players have a wealth of league football under their belts, and fans will be hoping that the arrival of the two players can have a similar effect to the arrival of Kris Taylor and Barry Miller last season.

DAN DOWN UNDER (05/10/05)

Former Albion goalkeeper Dan Robinson e-mailed the fanzine to let everyone know how he has been getting on with his new club, Gisborne City, in New Zealand.

Dan said "We had a great season in the top division and finished 3rd. I played every game and was pleased with how the season went for me. I'm staying out here for the foreseeable future as have a great job and a house on the beach in what is as near as I know to paradise! I'm Gisborne's soccer co-ordinator, and for the summer months (Nov-Feb) I'm running beach soccer here and I cant wait! I have spoken with Nigel Clough in the last month or so, and the door is still open for me at Burton, but at the moment I'm very happy here.

Anyway, I hope the season picks up and that Webby and the boys get it sorted. I am sure that they will if the fans stick with them."

BURTON ALBION 1 ALDERSHOT TOWN 2 (02/10/05)

The good work done with fine away results at Exeter and Cambridge was quickly undone by the Brewer's now familiar ability to win at home. Aldershot Town moved off the bottom of the table with this win, which in turn pushed Burton to last place for the second time this season.
