Burton Albion fans were greeted with bad news once they exited the away end of Pride Park on Saturday afternoon with Bolton Wanderers and Millwall both winning.

21st placed Bolton's 3-1 win over fellow strugglers Barnsley mean the Brewers are now bottom of the Championship, and Millwall's 3-1 win over high-flying Sheffield United lifted the Lions up to 17th.

There was some comfort, though, with Sunderland unable to back up their 2-0 win over the Brewers last week with a win in Chris Coleman's first game in charge at the Stadium of Light as they slipped to a 3-1 loss to Reading, leaving them in 23rd on 14 points.
