GRAYS ATHLETIC 0 BURTON ALBION 1 (01/09/06)

A brave performance by an under strength Burton side, and a wonder strike from Andy Ducros earned all three points tonight.

Without Darren Tinson, Gary Rowett, Terry Henshaw, Ryan Austin and Keith Gilroy, the Brewers only had enough players to have four substitutes, but those that were available battled hard for the entire 96 minutes to take all the points.

The win lifts Burton up to 11th place in the table. MATCH REPORT

TRANSFER WINDOW NEWS (01/09/06)

There was no transfer activity at the Pirelli Stadium despite some last minute attempts to strengthen the squad.

The loan deal to bring goalkeeper Stuart Tomlinson to Burton looks to have collapsed. His current club, Crewe, did not manage to sign a replacement goalkeeper and Tomlinson now looks set to stay at Gresty Road.

The biggest surprise is the news that Nigel Clough made an offer to sign Clayton Donaldson from York City. The offer, which is believed to have also involved Jon Shaw moving the other way, was turned down by the Minstermen.

Clough was also left empty handed in his attempts to sign a couple of players on loan, leaving him with only 14 fit players ahead of the trip to Grays Athletic tonight.
