5 things we learned about League 2 this weekend

Burton should finish in the top three

Burton Albion v QPRAlmost as soon as Gary Rowett rejected Blackpool’s ‘advances’ to become manager (even though the Tangerines still had a manager in place at the time) Burton’s exemplary form changed and September became a month of real struggle for the Brewers. This disappointing form has continued into October but came to an abrupt, and very welcome, end with a 2-1 away win against Northampton yesterday. Leicester City loanee Jacob Blyth low strike was cancelled out by Cobblers defender Ryan Cresswell before Alex MacDonald scored an amazing free-kick, worthy of winning any game at any level, with just five minutes left on the clock. Although this was Burton’s second win in three league games, the Brewers still haven’t recorded back-to-back wins since mid-September but this win, which saw them defend resolutely and beat a team who were unbeaten in three games in all competitions showed them off to be one of the better side’s in this division and, with their restrictive style and fantastic game management, they should finally get out the basement division this year.
