McFarland believes Burton are ready to go into the Football League

Burton boss Roy McFarland says the Brewers were unlucky to come away with just a point from their 1-1 draw with Kettering on Tuesday.

The Brewers are now nine points clear of Cambridge at the top of the Blue Square Premier.

McFarland told BBC Radio Derby: "Play in general was fantastic. It's the best I've seen since I've been here.

"We absolutely battered them in the second half - to get one point is an injustice to the side."

Burton almost took the three points with a header from Aaron Webster but Kettering keeper Lee Harper pulled off a fine save.

McFarland said: "The crossing was tremendous throughout the 90 minutes.

"They had several lucky escapes and we've missed probably two good chances in terms of getting on the end of it. I thought we were fantastic."

Burton now face Crawley Town on Saturday.
