BURTON Albion have made a solid start to life in the Football League following their promotion from the Blue Square Premier last season.

Paul Peschisolido took over from interim boss Roy McFarland in the summer and has guided the Brewers to 12th place in League Two.

They have won three out of their last four games.

Peschisolido is a former Fulham team-mate of Cheltenham Town striker Elvis Hammond.

They defeated Port Vale 1-0 on Saturday, courtesy of Tottenham Hotspur loanee Jacques Maghoma's 39th-minute strike.

Shaun Harrad leads the way with 10 goals this term, while Greg Pearson has scored nine.

Robins boss Mark Yates sold Russell Penn to Burton from Kidderminster Harriers last summer and he also tried to sign long-serving full-back Aaron Webster during his time in charge at Aggborough.

Cheltenham and Burton last met in a competitive fixture in May 1997.

It was the final day of the Southern League Premier Division season and a 0-0 draw gave Cheltenham the result they needed to secure promotion to the Conference.

Darren Stride remains at Burton from that season and is the club's record appearance maker.
