He's very good according to what I have read. An excellent signing for Birmingham.

Just like all their other ones

This is the lad us and Burnley were supposedly after last January.

Daddy signing his son

Crikey...for a team which doesn't have many 'star' players and has won sweet FA, that's a sizeable loss this year (and in previous years).
Owned and supported by the Hemmings family, which presumably bankrolls them.

 

[Grendel]

I'm not too confident. I think we've dropped off.

We should beat them, both sides are very inconsistent but the nature of the games will be different. They will be bigger games for them than us as they may not have much else to play for this season.

Birmingham are sliding fast - it’s a good time to play them

 

[prufrock]

I see Sheaf not starting for Wrexham today. Does anyone know if he's being rotated, just back from injury or just not fancied to start for them?

 

[ptr]

Blackburn look proper shite

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Are Blackburn the most inconsistent side the the league.They are 2-0 down to a poor Wrexham side at home.

He gets subbed in every game for them, no way he could start 2 games in a short period.

He's started 10 of the last 11 and played 90 last game?

 

[Balli001]

Only full 90 he has played since he went there

 

[DT-R]

Doyle for Wrexham playing like he was still out on the NYE lash till 5am this morning.

Wrexham up to 8th, Birmingham must be seething. They’ll be packing knives on Sunday.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

C’mon Oxford and Derby!!

 

[ptr]

They’ll lose today and I’d be surprised if Davies is in charge for Sunday.

Starting Kyogo the Clown again may have just sealed their fate.

 

[no_loyalty]

Blues 2-0 down at in form Watford, no chance Davies survives before the weekend.

 

[ptr]

We moan about our strikers but Middlesbrough keep playing Conway. Fucker has scored 3 goals all season.

 

[The Nomad]

We are now in a battle for 2nd place. Ipswich are going to romp this league.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Watford are a worry

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Ipswich will have us caught by Feb 1st

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

We’re going to have a fight to stay in the autos by the end of the season.

Him and Streleec are our main two forwards. Between them they have 6 all season. All our goals usually come from the midfield lads.

The first thing we need in in January are two new strikers now IMHO. We haven't scored in the last 4 games.
With 80 SHOTS and a combined xG of between 5 and 6...

We tend to batter almost every single side we play. With a proficient striker up top instead of these puddings we'd probably be top of the league now, it really is that bad. Still throw 15-20M at strikers and we should get back to being the form team of this league on that basis, just worried how far behind we can fall before we can get them in and hit the ground running.

Tbf there's defenders aplenty needed too as with Brittain having to be carried off in this game we now have no fit CBs OR real RBs at the club. It appears a massive injury list if shafting us again this season (as it has since April 23) as we look to be soon taking over Millwall as having the most crocks in the league for the third season running.
I sometimes wonder if our training ground pitches are made from felt stretched over concrete?

Oh and a pacey left sided winger who can also play number 10 would be ideal. So not much then!

It was fun while it lasted. You should have enough for the playoffs unless 4 other sides can keep a good run going.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Just got to hope Davies is still in charge for Sunday.

 

[no_loyalty]

Leicester 1-0 down at Sheff United.

Be surprised, Blues bottom of the current form table.

 

[covcity4life]

Wonder if both our next 2 league games will be against teams without a manager?

Leicester 2 down

I think Sunday will be the last stand for Davies, expect Cifuentes gone this week…if they can afford to sack him.

I really hope not. Especially if their players are coasting knowing their manager is taking the flack. Id much rather our match was the nail in the coffin for them. seemingly players will put a shift in the game after a sacking to show it was the manager rather than the players themselves not living up to expectations. Southampton and Oxford this season spring to mind. Might be recency bias but it feels that way.

The irony is, assuming Ipswich get the other auto spot we'd smash the playoffs apart with a decent finisher? Working out the average prolific strikers conversion rate from an average of 20-30 shots a game we'd be frightening against the likes of Preston, Millwall and Hull.

Of course there's the Hoodoos to consider though. Aside from the Wembley one, if Bristol City got in the playoffs, forget it. We could bury the ball in the net 5 or 6 times and have them all ruled out

Leicester 3-0 down,
