Highs and lows of dramatic Brewers campaign

1 week ago | staffordshire-live.co.uk | Colston Crawford

It was only a week ago that I wrote that Burton Albion don’t do routine seasons. That was a couple of days after League One safety had been confirmed with a game to spare. As I said then, even given the many ups and downs of the last decade, the season just gone was extraordinary – new owners, 23 signings, two managers, an awful start, an overhaul of the playing squad and eventual recovery. It was all there and more.
Brewers boss reflects on having stayed up

1 week ago | staffordshire-live.co.uk | Colston Crawford

Gary Bowyer will head off for a family holiday not long after the end of a season which ends today with another League One campaign secured for Burton Albion. This one, which ends with a trip to play Charlton Athletic at The Valley (3pm), has been the Brewers’ 10th since they climbed out of League Two in 2014-15. And while Bowyer will be ready for the break, the life of a football manager is such that the job is never very far from your thoughts.
Late Williams winner sees Brewers almost safe

2 weeks ago | staffordshire-live.co.uk | Colston Crawford

Burton Albion have all but beaten relegation after a hugely dramatic 2-1 home win over Cambridge United. A stoppage-time winner from Dylan Williams, who had a marvellous game, sealed victory after the visitors had scored a late equaliser. The game had two sendings-off in first-half stoppage time, one for each side, and the Brewers led until deep into the second half through a brilliant Jon Dadi Bodvarsson strike.
Brewers unable to really trouble champion Blues

3 weeks ago | staffordshire-live.co.uk | Colston Crawford

Burton Albion’s game at home to Birmingham City went entirely with the form book as the Brewers lost 2-1, unable to lay a serious glove on the League One champions. Albion were undone by two goals in two minutes just before half-time, one somewhat fortunate, one neatly created, but there was always the feeling that the Blues had a few more gears to go through had they needed to.
It's a solid point on the road for Brewers

4 weeks ago | staffordshire-live.co.uk | Colston Crawford

Burton Albion returned from Devon with what could prove an important point in their League One survival battle from a goalless draw with Exeter City. It was difficult for either side to play good football and create much in terrible conditions, with almost constant rain and with standing water on parts of the pitch.
How Burton's Burrell is out-performing Blues' £15m man

1 month ago | staffordshire-live.co.uk | Colston Crawford

Rumarn Burrell’s exceptional run of form for Burton Albion stands out as even more remarkable when set against the record of League One’s most expensive striker. That’s because Burrell’s record in 2025 is better – and his record in taking chances in open play is better over the whole season, a season in which Burrell was not playing regularly until December.
How Brewers rose to the challenge - again

1 month ago | staffordshire-live.co.uk | Colston Crawford

Gary Bowyer spoke last week about how, whatever the new challenges put before his Burton Albion players, they take them on board and find a way to meet them. What happened on Saturday could not have been a more comprehensive example of what he meant as Huddersfield Town were far more soundly beaten than 3-0 would suggest. Had the Brewers been able to put out their full first choice team for the game, it would still have been an excellent performance.
Depleted Brewers superb in big victory

1 month ago | staffordshire-live.co.uk | Colston Crawford

Burton Albion turned in a special performance to beat Huddersfield Town 3-0 and, with Bristol Rovers losing to Exeter City, they climbed out of the bottom four for the first time since September. Rumarn Burrell scored twice to reach double figures for the season and Julian Larsson added a lovely solo effort as the Brewers’ patched-up side went about their task with tremendous heart and enterprise.
Bowyer: Why I think my boys can adapt

1 month ago | staffordshire-live.co.uk | Colston Crawford

Adaptability will be a key factor for Burton Albion manager Gary Bowyer as he tries to nurse his small squad through the last six games of the League One season and, hopefully, to another campaign in the third tier. The Brewers go into Saturday's game at home to Huddersfield Town (3pm) with their survival technically in their own hands, three points behind Bristol Rovers with a game in hand and a better goal difference.
