Dylan seeking Cup tonic to lift Brewers

DYLAN Williams wants his Burton Albion teammates to show a big reaction to defeats to Leyton Orient and Wigan Athletic by progressing into the FA Cup third round.

While a trip to Brackley Town on Monday night is a potential banana skin, and it is being televised live on TNT Sports for that very reason, it is also a big chance for the Brewers to book a dream draw themselves should they progress into the next stage of the illustrious cup competition.

But they don't go into it in the best of form having shipped five goals in their last two League Two games and scored none in reply. The most recent setback was the 1-0 loss away against Wigan on Tuesday night.

Left-back Williams said: "It's a great opportunity to get into the third round and potentially play a big team or progress further in the competition.

"We need a reaction off the back of Wigan."
