Caught a bit of it
is name is Joey Thompson
He grew up in our town

And he sent the Oldham down |
He kept the Dale in league 1 ? |  | | |

Worth noting that our first league away win took six months longer to achieve last season. |
Remarkable. We must remember there are 46 games in a season though. It has been decreed.  |  |

What’s the lyrics? All I can make out is his name is Joey Thompson |
As per the posts from South Ealing and nordenblue the lyrics are
His name is Joey Thompson
He grew up in our town
He kept the Dale in league 1
And he sent the Oldham down
It sticks in your head when it's been sung solidly for about 45 minutes!
Joes reaction at half time was great as he was clearly smiling and laughing at the chant. |  |

Perfect header by Alby for our first goal
Perfect shielded dummy to set Hendo away for our second goal
Touch of class up front we have. |  |

I always think the first win of the season is the most important win of the season.
The last two seasons saw us not picking up a win until the middle of September, and there's no doubting that it became a monkey on our back - winless Rochdale etc and it created unnecessary pressure on us that is detrimental to the way we want to play.
Now, we're up and running, points in the bag and the feelgood factor from the back end of last season carries on. Next game can't come quick enough now. |  | | |

I think Burton will finish top 6.
Shows just how good we have it as a club ATM.
Buzzing today roll on Saturday 😀 | | | |

Fantastic start to the season. As I don't see any games I don't know if I'm imagining this but has KH adopted a different philosophy, particularly with away games, since the start of this calendar year. Specifically defensive solidarity seems to be the absolute priority. He made mention of Shrewsbury in his pre season interview as an example of a well performing team with limited resources and they seemed to have based a lot of their games last year on a mean defense. I wonder if he's been tempted to take the same approach. | | | |

In Fairness to KH he actually got the away form philosophy going after Christmas last year and ultimately that kept us up. Our home form was generally poor last year ( bar the last game!!) and that will be the big test again this year. Hopefully he will not focus so much on not losing, but on winning games, starting with a really tough one on Saturday. Going to be a really good test of where we are early doors |  | | |

Aye you can see why Hill has been after him for 6 years!!
Imagine if he'd got him as a young lad of 32. |  |

The seated away end is part of their home end. Always add on a few away fans on Burton's guesstimate for away fans. |  | | |

Rumours of him training with Burton - Clough has signed him at least twice |  | | |
