Possibly. Then again there's an argument to be made that us pissing about so much with the CB targets that Bidwell would've had to be retained in case we weren't successful in getting one over the line. Realistically once Wolfenden was in the building it was likely too late in the day to...

I didn't really think Brau would slot straight into the side - as with the vast majority of foreign players coming in there's inevitably going to be a settling in period which can take X amount of time so it would've been unrealistic to demand he hits the ground running straight away. Dasilva...

You say Brau will get the chance when the time is right.... we were 3-0 up when Bidwell was subbed on vs Sheff W. Not really sure what better time there was to get minutes to be honest. Fair enough at the tail end of games such as Portsmouth where really we need to try and see the game out...

That'll be him gone for the next 3 months then.

I think this is it really. Yes, we've probably had a more favourable run than most but no games are easy in this league and anyone can beat anyone. The manner in which we're putting teams away makes me think we should be able to compete against the better sides in the league quite comfortably...

Yeah it seems like it's a big ask for them to mount a play off charge given who they've lost. Still some capable players but not a lot of goals in that team really on the face of it. I think most probably expected a new manager bounce when Wilder came in but sustaining that form for an...

Why does it when we've scored all types of goals and are actually incredibly difficult to play against regardless of how the opposition set up largely due to how diverse and unpredictable we are in attack?

Rumour has it he recently saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for the first time and enquired to see whether Oompa Loopas were a viable option.

Oh another fanatical claim from Wagner just to make it even more believable now you've said that. He wants this stadium to be completed by 2029.

Oh come off it just because Tom Brady has a hand in BCFC that categorically doesn't mean the NFL is setting up shop in the Midlands. There's so many roadblocks to overcome for more games to come to the UK. Mainly, there's contracts in place with Spurs' stadium and Wembley and the fanbase just...

Yeah those two clubs are so unique though it's not even worth comparing. Football is ingrained within their culture and respective communities - like you said it's basically church for them. Re. your second point, even if he gets BCFC into the Prem, that still won't be enough. He'll need them...

Yeah I realise that, but it's still inconceivable for a Championship football club to be pulling in anywhere close to 60k fans every week. Unless it's full week in week out it's financially illogical to build a stadium of that size. On the topic of it being a multi-purpose arena - great...

Yeah but that wasn't their average across a full season... I've just looked it up even when they first moved into the Ricoh they were only averaging around 18k.

I don't necessarily doubt a stadium will be built, it's too far along now for it to be a complete ruse. But it won't be 60k that's just an absurd capacity. Baring in mind that would put it on par with Anfield, Spurs' stadium, Emirates, Celtic Park etc.

Valid points but it does seem weird that since the Birmingham game he just hasn't featured at all. Undoubtedly there's going to be a settling in period for Brau which will take as long as it takes until he's deemed ready but is slightly strange he's not being integrated in when games are...

He will do. It's pretty rare for a player to not have a recall option inserted in their loan agreement. Parent clubs need to account for injuries and of course to protect their player in case they're not getting game time.

I would very much imagine that's what they'd look to do, yes.

The priority really is a winger. It's where we're lightest and I'd like us to make a statement signing, better than what we already have. I'd be all for having another look at J. Rak-Sakyi.

It's not just a step too far it's a complete fantasy.

Huh??? They weren't anywhere near filling it were they? Even with all the free tickets throw in. There's not a realistic scenario where Birmingham City fill a 60k capacity stadium. That's a fact.
