I agree if we were celebrating like it was a great win or something....
but we're not.
And, given the number of goals we've conceded, including against Millwall who are likely to be in a similar part of the league table to Burton when all is concluded, a clean sheet is no bad thing.
Lets not forget the number of times we've lost matches like that.
Charlton at home and Wigan at home in the last promotion season, Preston at home last season. We've also had plenty of draws in similar circumstances - Rotherham in the promo season, Walsall under Lambert, etc.
Beating teams that sit deep isn't THAT easy. We've had a few back to the walls away draws in the prem, Chelsea away under Adams springs to mind. Even Man City don't break down every stubborn defence they come up against.
