Burton chief’s envious eyes
Date published: 11 November 2011
BURTON manager Paul Peschisolido believes Athletic mirror the style he is trying to instil into his npower League Two hopefuls.
“We’ve had Oldham watched and they are a good side," he said. "They pass and move well, the kind of game we’re trying to play.
“They’ve got experience up front in Shefki Kuqi and have surrounded him with some young legs.
“The boys from Man City will pose a threat and (Tom) Adeyemi, the lad from Norwich, is an excellent player and someone I admire.
“We know it is going to be difficult, but the wonder of the FA Cup is that underdogs can go to teams they have no right to beat and do so. That’s what we’ll be looking to do.”
Burton (probable, 4-4-2): Atkins; Corbett, Austin, Stanton, Webster; Taylor, Bolder, McGrath, Maghoma; Zola, Kee.
ATHLETIC welcome back midfielder James Wesolowski into the squad for tomorrow's game.
Alex Cisak returns from suspension and will take over from Paul Gerrard in goal, while on-loan Huddersfield defender Nathan Clarke is ineligible.
Seven players can be named on the substitutes' bench in the FA Cup.
Athletic (probable, 4-4-2): Cisak; Lee, Mvoto, Diamond, Black; Scapuzzi, Furman, Adeyemi, Taylor; Simpson, Kuqi. Subs (from): Gerrard, Tarkowski, Mellor, Wesolowski, Morais, Millar, Winchester, Mancini, Smith.
