I won’t jinx it by mentioning what league position a win will take us 👍

3 changes then, one perhaps less predictable than the other two. Hope it's just rotation rather than injury in Murphy's case.

Not sure about this for some reason I can't pin down. Vela may well be needed deep and I hope we don't go silly when attacking and leave ourselves open at the back. Defence is, and has been a crucial part of our gaining points and holding onto leads. If possible I'd have started with Sammi and tried for an early advantage. I want to be wrong so....COME ON YOU WHITES.... :oyea: :oyea: :oyea:

Thought you were a supporter?

In seriousness I think we will lose tonight. For the same reason. Not sure why he’s changed the team. Also just have a feeling Birmingham are our bogey team. I’m not a fan of changing a winning team. And this feels a huge risk. We shall see.

Any sign of a stream other than the Croal?

my guess is that this is going to be 4-3-2-1 with O'Neil and Lowe on proper DM duties, giving Wildy and Oz in particular the freedom to 'ave some.

This is gonna be good. 5-2! 8)

Cheers DJ. They the same stream?

Don't know if they're good or we're bad but they're week on top now. No real chances though.

Different streams.

One is ifollow
The other is BCFC's own channel I think.

They are definitely dominating but we look comfortable defending

One I've got has got Birmingham fans commentating. Make TD look balanced and disinterested :D.

Apparently Alnwick has been our busiest player?! Will swap at half time.

Wildschut shouldn't be allowed to touch the ball outside the final third. Will find blind alleys you didn't know exist.

Pattern of game. We get the ball. Build far to slowly. Pass it sideways and backwards. Find a way to give it to Wildschut. He cuts inside and loses it. Birmingham attack for next 5 minutes. Rinse and repeat.

Not working at all. Birmingham completely dominant. Needs changing.

Ben Alnwick pulled off a great save from a deflected shot.

Lee Probert. Bell sniff.

They compress space much better than we do. It's the lack of pace at the back is going to make it very tough at home for us against teams who can handle Magennis. We're easy to keep the ball against.

Midfield 3 are going to have some running to do this year.

Aye thought that was in.

That "tackle" on Wildschut at the end?!

Would help if we stopped going up the middle and used Magennis like Davies and squeezed up and put pressure on.

Instead we are going straight down the centre backs.
