Burton Albion have sacked coach Mark Robinson roughly 12 hours after the Brewers lost 3-2 at home to Wycombe Wanderers.

After the most recent defeat, the Staffordshire-based team had lost nine of his 14 games in charge, winning just once.

He had been appointed in June and signed an incredible 23 new players at the Pirelli Stadium, but his time with the club is now officially over.

The result on Tuesday night means Burton are the only team in League One yet to win a game all season, gaining just four points from the first 33 available. 

Speaking on his departure, Robinson said: "I'd like to thank everyone at Burton Albion for giving me this opportunity, all the staff for their support during my time here, and a special mention to the supporters who have stuck with the team throughout. 

“I wish nothing but the best for all of you for the remainder of this season and beyond."

His comments came one day after Burton lost for the sixth league game in a row, as the Chairboys’ victory proved to be the final nail in the coffin for the ex-AFC Wimbledon man.

Bendik Hareide, one of Burton's co-owners, said: "We have to be objective with our decision-making, and we feel we have reached a point where a change is necessary to improve the team’s results.

“We believe we have a talented squad, and we remain committed to our football strategy. Now is the time to re-group and look to deliver a positive season for our fantastic supporters.

“We thank Robbo for all of his efforts. He will always be welcome at the Pirelli and we wish him the very best of luck for the future.” 

Speaking on the match against Wycombe, he said: “It comes down to a lack of concentration, certainly the third goal, and it has really cost us.

“We were more direct and went away from the football we want to play and we have still conceded three goals.

“We had a meeting about the situation of concentration but we have switched off again and they have made us pay.

“We knew we needed to win second balls against a side like Wycombe and we didn’t do anywhere near enough of that in the first half and we seemed to take the option to go longer which wasn’t necessarily part of the plan.

“We all want it to work so badly but we have to keep working hard to find a way out of the situation we are in.”
