I imagine if Godden loses the job they will look to hand it to Simms or Wright to help build their confidence with a few more goals behind them, but I would like to see Eccles have a go. I understand he had a great record at U21 level, and the way he took the penalty at Wembley was very impressive.

I think Al Hammadi is someone that can play at a higher level than League 2, but the question is how high. At only 21 he must have a big upside potentially so I could see a Championship side coming in for him in January.

Unless my memory is failing me and without checking, I'm pretty sure he has made changes a few times at half time this season.

I've not been watching them, but whenever I see their match ratings he is at the top, so I think he is close to being their outstanding player. That probably doesn't count for much though when the team are having such a shit season. It also seems they are not playing him in the same role we did...

I just want him to be sold to whoever will pay the biggest fee, even though I do tend to agree that his career would benefit more from playing for another European team than a PL one.

Yes, for the moment, but he wouldn't have got in ahead of the Wilson that played last season. Otherwise you could probably make a case that this season's McNally would lose his place too, given Stoke's poor season so far.

Time will tell, but the only new player that would probably be picked ahead of any of last years team would be Van Ewijk.

Its a great draw. Winnable home game against a localish team from a lower division who should sell out their allocation. If we can only muster 7,000 to this game then frankly we don't deserve to progress, particularly if it is a 3pm Saturday game, which many of you have been bemoaning the loss...

Agreed, I think loans will be incoming, but that we'll hold fire until the Summer to buy players, when there is always much more to choose from than in January, and when many more panic induced poor signings are made.

Yes, although he played more defensively for us.

He wasn't an out and out forward though as I remember. Am sure many of those appearances would also be as a sub.

This was my first season and had just signed Hutchison and Stein. We did really well until we got beat at Wolves in the FA Cup quarter final, from when on we fell apart.

One of many Scots we had. We sold to Leicester in the mid 70's. Like Craven I think he ended up in the States and also died quite young.

We going down the January window double barrelled name approach again then?

The Champions League was revamped to make more money for the richer clubs & UEFA themselves, not because of glamour. The likes of Ajax, Benfica, Real Madrid, Bayern & AC Milan brought plenty of glamour to the old European Cup. What the big clubs didn't like was having to win their domestic...

I trust they are enjoying being 'Wayne Rooney's Birmingham' 😂

............... but as of this moment that is just a rumour. We are all presuming that he is leaving, but he hasn't signed for anyone as yet, or said that he wants/ intends to leave. Getting on his back because of 'rumours' is certainly not going to encourage him to sign a new contract for us.

Wonder who'll be the first to post about us getting a shit draw?

Think a few of our players thought it was out. On the unseen video you can see them looking over their shoulders as they run to congratulate Wright, to see if the ref was gonna rule it out.

Dammit, that's the most obvious omission. I go back a long way but not as far as Ian Gibson so couldn't include him. Was he really better than Carr, Speedie and McAllister?
