Burton will not want this to go any further

Burton really should have sewn up this title weeks ago.

Monday was typical of their recent form, they went to Kidderminster – led 1-0 at half time which obviously was enough to win them the league – then they went to 1-1 which was still enough but then Kidderminster’s winner stole the title from their hands with 10 minutes left.

Now it all comes down to tonight’s game against Oxford, the in-form team in The Blue Square Premier, who have only lost twice in 21 games under Chris Wilde. Oxford come to The Pirelli Stadium tonight with an outside chance of reaching the play-offs.

Oxford simply have to win, which is the worst thing for Burton who only need to avoid defeat to play in the Football League for the first time in their history.

If they DO LOSE tonight, it all comes down to Cambridge’s match on Saturday, Burton could win the league tomorrow without a ball being kicked if Cambridge don’t beat Salisbury.
