GARY Bowyer says four points out of six from difficult trips to play Huddersfield Town and Cardiff City proves what his Burton Albion squad are capable of.

- By COLSTON CRAWFORD

The blip, of course, is the 4-0 defeat at home to Plymouth Argyle last Saturday which sat between them but the Brewers are back on the road again today to play Doncaster Rovers in a lunchtime kickoff (12.30pm).

That is likely to be a different sort of challenge against a promoted side who started their League One campaign with only one defeat in seven games but have now lost their last three.

"Nobody would have given us a point, would they, and we got four out of six," said Bowyer at his weekly press conference.

"All we can do is be pleased with those last two away games and we needed a reaction from Saturday, there was no doubt about that.

"The players were honest in terms of their assessment of Saturday and then the beauty of Tuesday was, it comes round so quickly.

"I was so looking forward to Tuesday just to see our reaction, to see what I've got in the dressing room and I was really really pleased with that, nearly as much as the result."

Here are some of the other topics Bowyer dealt with at the conference.

Tuesday night was great but there are still areas for improvement

GB: We took the lessons from the other night, debriefed it, and we're still looking at areas that we can massively improve.

The players recognise that and want to do something about it.

But we've had four points out of six in our last two away games and we want to keep building on that.
