BURTON Albion go in search of their fourth League Two double of the season tomorrow, with manager Paul Peschisolido warning that they can cannot expect to brush aside relegation-threatened Cheltenham Town.

"It's the stage of the season where you can completely ignore the form book and the league positions," said the Brewers' Canadian boss.

"You start to see strange results at this stage because teams near the bottom are fighting for their lives.

"Somehow, the two teams who are adrift have started to win some games, so form just isn't a factor."

The significance of an improvement in the form of the bottom two, Grimsby Town and Darlington, is obvious enough with one glance at the League Two table – Cheltenham sit one place above them.

"We have to go into the game thinking as if we are playing the top-of-the-table side," said Peschisolido.

"It's not that long ago that we played Cheltenham and we know what they're about.

"They have some dangerous players, too.

"I thought Justin Richards looked very good for the first half-hour against us and Barry Hayles is still a very dangerous player, who should have scored for them last time.

"What we have to do is approach the game just as we did the Aldershot game and play with that sort of tempo and purpose."

The manager could hardly have been happier with last week's display at Aldershot Town, when his team cruised to a 2-0 win on the back of two goals scored in the first half-an-hour of the game.

They had been beaten 1-0 at home by Rotherham United before that and Peschisolido got the response he had demanded from his players.

"From the manager's standpoint, I couldn't have asked for more," he said.

"Efficient is a very good word for the performance – all the aspects of it, all the units within the team, worked well.

"We played at the right tempo, our passing was better than it had been for a while, we kept a clean sheet and we took our goals well.

"We're all fighting for the same cause and the lads are listening to what gets said in training.

"They will take things on board when they see that the criticism they get is constructive."

A slight concern for the Brewers tomorrow is their recent home form. Although there is a general impression that they have played well at home, they have contrived to lose six matches at the Pirelli Stadium, including the last two – which is only one less than they have lost on their travels.

"We think we've done well at home and then you look at the statistics and it ain't that good!" said Peschisolido.

"I'm not sure if, at times, there is a particular reason.

"You can over-analyse things but, sometimes, they just happen that way.

"Perhaps we have switched off a little towards the end of games, as we did against Crewe.

"What's important is that we show Cheltenham we are right on it from the start.

"We have to set the tempo of the game early – and, ideally, strike early."
