A trip to Burton always seems to be the subject of a joke when any side is relegated from the Premier League, "enjoy your trip to Burton" and all that.

But which one was worse? It would be funny if it wasn't all so tragic. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's over two weeks since the departure of Simon Grayson and still no new manager in sight. We don't appear to be any closer to a decision today either. Not ideal preparation the visit of.
