Burton Albion travel to the City Ground to take on Nottingham Forest as they look to continue their good away form with a fourth consecutive clean sheet on the road today (3pm).

The Brewers have been in fine fettle at the back, but they are lacking goals and there is a belief around the Pirelli Stadium that they could catch a struggling Nottingham Forest side cold after their 2-0 loss to arch-rivals Derby County last weekend.

Albion have banished the demons from those back-to-back 4-0 losses at the Pirelli Stadium to Aston Villa and table-topping Wolves before the international break with a 0-0 draw at Bristol City last Friday night and will be hoping to carry on that good form today.

Nigel Clough on a frustrating afternoon for his side

Yes, it certainly is. We played well enough to get something out of the game in the first-half again. To come and frustrate them, the jeers and the cheers at 42 minutes when they have their first shot. And then for us to have the situations we had and not get a goal, that’s the reason we haven’t got anything out of the game. That and the start of the second-half.

We had a game plan to be solid and cause them problems and we did in the first half. We didn’t start the second half as we ended the first and that was disappointing.

FULL-TIME! Forest 2-0 Burton

That’ll hurt. The Brewers are beaten 2-0 here at the City Ground in a game that could arguably have seen them 1-0 up at half-time.

As it was, the Brewers fell behind to two cheaply conceded goals, the first from Barrie McKay and the second from Eric Lichaj.

That now means the Brewers haven’t scored in five matches and are winless in six.

Stay tuned for our verdict and reaction from both camps.
