CTMD view: It wasn't pretty, but again the Brewers played poorly and still managed to come away with a point. It was such a contrast from the last home outing against Torquay and those that came to see that game and this would struggle to believe it was the same side.

At least the strength on the bench allowed meaningful changes to be made and it was the introduction of Andy Corbett that led to the equaliser

 

Managers view:

Nigel Clough (Burton) - In an interview in the Derby Evening Telegraph Clough expressed his feelings on the performance, "It was just a night when we weren't very good and we never got going," he said.

"We were a yard slower than we were against Torquay United here and against Rushden & Diamonds on Saturday and the only positive thing is that we didn't lose the game, which we could so easily have done.

Liam Daish (Ebbsfleet) - "It was a great away performance and everybody played their part.

We were unlucky not to get three points, but it gives us confidence going into the Exeter game, which is one we are all looking forward to."
