Burton did a pretty decent job of stifling us

They were quickly on Wes in numbers and defending deeply left no space for Josh.

A frustrating night, but not terrible. We should have scored in the last 15 mins of the first half / first 20 of the second.

Something that did annoy me a bit is our lack of ability from set pieces. I don't recall us winning a single header from an attacking corner.

- Wes and Vrancic doesn't seem to work .. (NCFC) - Gob on a Stick, Sep 13, 10:21:26
  - 4-2-3-1 isn't really a diamond formation. Wes should be central behind Olive... (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Sep 13, 10:37:03
    - Good post - agree with all of that. (n/m) (NCFC) - derbyshire canary, Sep 13, 20:34:42
