One year on, how it's going for NFG with Brewers

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

This day last year, June 3, was a landmark one in the history of Burton Albion. It was the day Ben Robinson handed over control of the club, 30 years after he had bought the Brewers, beginning his second spell as chairman. It was something supporters might have begun to think would never happen, safe in the knowledge that Robinson’s shrewd hand was on the tiller, keeping the club sustainable in a way most are not, year after year. But reality bites and Robinson understands reality.
How stats were put to work for Brewers

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

Information has been emerging about the role played by data analysts in Burton Albion’s recent successful escape from the clutches of relegation from League One. It is not something the club – in keeping with most clubs – has said anything about publicly. It is as if data is still a taboo subject in the game – used by virtually everyone but blamed for failure, not praised when used successfully and regarded with suspicion by supporters.
Why Tavares could prove a hit for Brewers

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

It will take a little more to ease supporters’ pain over losing captain Ryan Sweeney – and worries of losing others – but Burton Albion’s signing of striker Fabio Tavares is a welcome slice of good news. The 24-year-old forward has completed his permanent move from Coventry City before the end of his loan spell with the Brewers, which did not expire until the end of June.
Rumours prove true as Sweeney leaves Albion

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

The news Burton Albion supporters did not want to hear has landed, with confirmation that club captain Ryan Sweeney will join Mansfield Town when his Brewers contract expires this summer. Rumours had been gathering pace in the last few days and – for once in football – they proved to be true. Sweeney returns to the Stags, where he spent to 2018-19 season on loan and then followed with a two-year contract. Mansfield remain the club with which he has made the most appearances.
Davidson: The moment I thought we were down

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

Tom Davidson says he went through the full range of emotions as Burton Albion first lost their lead, then got it back in stoppage time, to beat Cambridge United 2-1 and virtually secure their League One status last month. Dylan Williams scored in the 93rd minute to win the game after Elias Kachunga’s 84th-minute equaliser had cancelled out Rumarn Burrell’s opener for Burton.
Highs and lows of dramatic Brewers campaign

1 month 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

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

1 month 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

1 month 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

1 month 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.
