BURTON ALBION 1 EXETER CITY 0 (27/11/06)

It won't be remembered as a classic game, but the Brewers did enough to earn all three points and moved up to fourth place in the table.

It was a dour game with very few chances for either side and it was settled by Andy Corbett's first half strike.

The only downside from the evening was the injury to David Brown which saw the striker replaced in the first half. MATCH REPORT

AWAY THE LADS (27/11/06)

The draw for the First Round of the FA Trophy was made today, and the Brewers face a long trip north to face Gateshead.

The 'Tynesiders' are currently 16th in the Unibond Premier Division and have former Brewer Paul Talbot amongst their squad.

The match will take place on Saturday 16th December at the International Stadium, Gateshead.

Brewers fans will be hoping for a repeat of the very first meeting between the two clubs, when Albion ran out 8-0 winners back in 1979!

DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE 3 BURTON ALBION 0 (18/11/06)

Burton's play-off hopes took a dent as they fell to a heavy defeat at Victoria Road.

The game was closer than the score line suggests, but the home side took the chances that they had, while the Brewers were again punished for their ability to hit the back of the net.

Nigel Clough now has 10 days to rally his troops before the televised clash with Exeter City a week on Monday.

BROWN JOINS BREWERS (16/11/06)

Nigel Clough has boosted his strike force ahead of Saturday's clash at Dagenham & Redbridge by signing Accrington Stanley forward David Brown on loan.

The former Manchester United trainee has made only six appearances for the league two club this season, and has not managed to get booked in any of them. Obviously this saw him surplus to requirements at the Fraser Eagle Stadium, and he joins the Brewers initially on a months loan.

SCOFF GOES TO TOWN (15/11/06)

Striker Steve Scoffham has joined Alfreton Town on a month's loan in a bid to regain his match fitness.

After picking up an injury in the match against Woking last month, his only appearance for the Brewers has been in the Birmingham Senior Cup.

Scoff has made 10 league appearances since joining the club in the summer, but has struggled to hold down a starting place in the side.

Terry Henshaw has had his loan spell at Hednesford Town extended for another month.

BURTON ALBION 1 TAMWORTH 2 (11/11/06)

Two defensive blunders sent the Brewers crashing out of the FA Cup.

Tamworth staged a smash and grab raid at the Pirelli Stadium, in a game that the home side dominated for long periods.

Daryl Clare opened the scoring just minutes after half time, but a bizarre own goal from Kevin Poole gifted the Lambs an equaliser. The game looked to be heading for a replay before Ryan Austin's poor defensive header allowed Jon Stevenson to smash home the winner. MATCH REPORT

BURTON ALBION 1 WALSALL 2 (07/11/06)

A youthful Brewers side suffered late heartbreak in the Birmingham Senior Cup, losing to an experienced Walsall side.

In a reverse of Burton's last league game against Stevenage, it was the visitors that grabbed an 89th minute. Steve Scoffham had equalised for Burton in the second half, and the game looked to be heading for extra time until Graham Deakin snatched the winner.

BURTON ALBION 2 STEVENAGE BOROUGH 1 (03/11/06)

The Brewers produced a gutsy second half fight back to win the game after going a goal down and having Aaron Webster sent off.

The visitors went in front after 16 minutes through Jon Nurse, before Webster was dismissed just two minutes later for hauling the goal scorer down on the edge of the area.

Keith Gilroy grabbed an equaliser ten minutes into the second period before Paul Carden's late strike stole all the points and lifted the Brewers up to fourth place in the table. MATCH REPORT
