So can’t see a thread for this so will start it. What are we thinking? Personally I think we can get a result here. 2-1 town Helik and koroma.

Despite a promising start by Birmingham and all the USA hype, they have recently showed what they are a mediocre team.
I think provided , we haven’t lost key players through injury, we can win this one.

Think they've gone 5 without a win and only scored 8 goals all season or other way round. Certainly winnable, Eustace has done a decent job there but yeah, they seem a mediocre team with all due respect, certainly not beyond the realms of fantasy for Town to win, would take a 1 niller here and follow it up with another at Swillsborough.

Michael Beale just been sacked by Rangers, so what I hear you say, well Brum manager John Eustace was heavily linked by Scottish media as the man lined up to replace him with Wayne Rooney set to take over at St Andrews for the American owners......Although a Town victory could see Eustace unwanted by both clubs.

No easy games in this league, but it’s their lack of goals that will worry them.
Bizarrely enough that might actually mean we set up with a slightly more defensive midfield to try and guarantee we nil them, then hope DB can dazzle them at the other end of the pitch.
Doesn’t feel like a game with a lot of goals in it.

Birmingham are like a Roman Candle firework. Start really brightly - beat two or three "nothing" clubs early on and shoot to the top end of the table; then sputter and die back, dropping down the league like a stone. They're the same every season and this will be no different. Town win.  |

Not a lot of time for those both injured or knackered to recover before Tuesday and our problem, as everyone knows, is that we really have very little suitable cover or players we can rotate. Also, some of the cover we do have may not be fully match fit ( didn't the manager make this point on Saturday and made the 'reserves' train after the game to improve their match fitness?).
Personally I'll be happy with a point and importantly no further injuries on Tuesday. Next Saturday is a must win for me as I've too many Wendy supporting friends and associates.

I think Beale will be glad to be away outta Glasgow irverino - A city where if you’re not first then you’re very much last (Patrick Thistle and Queens Park are exempted)... Celtic getting a very very late winner at Motherwell deflated an already deflated Ibrox which had come alive after an unexpected injury time equaliser For Motherwell only not to be an equaliser - The atsmophere was very very toxic during Gers v Aberdeen after The Dons took the lead and it wasn’t the best idea for the captain to take the players to applaud the fans at full time as they were apoleptic with serious rage and irate... Eustace was mentioned, so was Warnock as well (some want him and think he supports Rangers and some don’t) Some want Graeme Potter but there’s no chance of that with his excellent gardening leave bounty that he’s on for sure... It would be handy if they approached Eustace, but if they do it’ll not be before we rock up at St. Andrews and that’s what I’d have wanted as every little helps in these situations ! |

Two games in quick succession are where our lack of squad will hinder us. I would be surprised if Hogg or Yuta played.
Reg isn’t a defensive midfielder.
Kasumu ? Still injured ?
Does lees come back in ? Personally I wouldn’t move Ruffels
I guess our only options are to replace Hogg with Reg and Jackson for Yuta. Jackson deserves a game.
Tricky one.

Caught between a rock & a hard place at St Andrews, talk big but the home game v whipping boys QPR was pretty dour to say the least, a million miles from Premier League but inches away from League One......Expect a similar sort of game tomorrow night, 0-0 or 1-1. |

Parking like near St Andrews? Normally been down on train first time driving I drove last year. If you google Birmingham Central Backpackers, we were somewhere around there. Basically it's kind of old industrial units, think there are a few bars/taprooms around there and we went to one of them - can't remember the name. Was about 15/20 minute walk to the ground, not far, and easy enough to drive out after the match as you're right next to the A45. |

Have we got a pay on the day option as I’ve just found out I’m off work Wednesday early so can make it but not enough time to have it sent out or collect?

Hope I'm wrong, but we shall see. Just watched the press conference. Katherine Hannah asked "so there is a possibility that both are available tomorrow?" and Moore confirms "Yes" |

You're saying you've got loads of Wednesday mates....Do you live in Penistone? I definitely do - I Have a couple of good buddies up to ma house (Known locally as ‘The Huddy House’ due to the colours of it ! ) for a wee whisky and Lager session on a Wednesday afternoon... 🍺 🥃 Splits the week up beautifully - put the world to rights - and a nice wee warm up aperitif in advance of the big booze up at sky soccer Saturday results coming in at The Local Footy Bar ! 👍 |

Three points would be very welcome indeed and should be achievable. Despite this unbeaten run we're still worryingly close to the bottom three!

All the teams up to mid table can say the same tbh, if we're in a seemingly hopeless situation similar to before NW took over back in Feb then i'd start worrying. |
