Think we'll nick this actually. O'Hare and Walsh are gonna take increasing control of the game. Fleetwood will remain a danger from crosses and set pieces though.

Bit harsh. He knee'd that guys boot when he was chasing him in the first half when he got injured.

Yeah but wind assisted goals don't count to the season's goal tally.

Trying not to sound like a hindsight executioner and I know it's only half time but that was a very predictable first half and one of Robins 'paint by numbers' matchday decisions. There can't be many people out there that would have named an unchanged team tonight. Don't know what Allen has to...

Same changes as Saturday for me but at HT. Max and O'Hare for Shipley and Westbrooke. Allen on for Godden on 70 when we're 2-0 up.

Shipley is fulfilling the old 'he's trapping the ball further than I can kick it' saying tonight.

Refs managing their antics well so far.

Would really like to see Westbrooke impose himself more on this type of game - away from home, shitty weather conditions, big strong opposition. Want to see him demand the ball and try and make things happen but the game seems to drift by him a bit. Feel he can be a bit fair-weather.

Poor footballer with his back to goal, good footballer facing goal. Our system and style has moved on and unfortunately he's collateral damage in that. Decent 10-15 goal striker at this level in a mid table team playing to his strengths.

Klopp has said no first teamers and that he won't even be managing the team that day. Would be scandelous if they really did pick that fixture to televise.

Worked hard chasing down the channels but offside too often for me today, especially first half. Thought he was dominated in the air all match too.

It happens at all levels. Took his eye off it while playing across the line of the ball, on his wrong foot. Move on!

Marosi 6 Dabo 7 Rose 7 Mcfadzean 8 Hyam 7 McCallum 7 Kelly 7 Walsh 9 Shipley 6 Westbrooke 6 Godden 6 O Hare 7 Biamou 7 Bakayoko - not on long enough but excellent header across for the O Hare miss.

Compare the state of that kit to the beauty of ours. That is an absolute eyesore .

Considering we always have 3 CBs on the pitch our set pieces are woeful. Should be a strength.

Been a really competitive half from us despite understandably lacking a bit of fluency in the final third. More than held our own though without really creating anything. If I was Birmingham I'd be trying to get Hyam and Rose pulled wide to get Kelly isolated in the middle. He's a yard off the...

FA Cup is not on iFollow. It is being shown on ESPN+ though so there ought to be several decent streams around. Check back on here closer to the time: The dream stream

Mixed emotions on days like today when living abroad. Excited for the match but also gutted to not be there. Miss the match day build up a lot too. Best I can manage out here is a couple of hours before kick off I'll put beers at various places around the house leading up to my office/stadium...
