Team know what's required, Birmingham are capable of an upset and all the pressure will be on us.

Need Gyokeres and Hamer to have big 90 minute performances.

Can’t stand this lot me - Proper arsehole fanbase with a massive chip on their shoulder and the constant brown nosing of them cause we happened to play there for a year knocks me sick

Hope their owners run them into ground and turn St Ands. into flats for all I care

 

[Briles]

Can’t remember who it was against last season now but Dabo put a great ball in to Gyokeres for an injury time goal at the CBS. Agree he seems to have lost what he had though, maybe it’s the injuries.

Dabo only plays well when O'Hare is playing

My Bluenose bro & a couple of other Blues suuporting peeps I know say they'll be well up for this seeing as they could finish higher up the table than they have done for years - they won't be no pushover at all

Yeah the thought of finishing 16th must be a real buzz for them.

Makes me laugh tbh - they've been in the Championship years now whereas we've been there only a few & we've been flirting with the playoffs last season before well & truly getting into bed with them this one - they're shit haha

You really shouldn't sit on the fence about it, say what you really think.

 

[napolimp]

I don't think Birmingham are going to sort themselves out until they get relegated. The whole structure is wrong. It's a shame.

For balance, I don't mind Blues. Live in Solihull so know loads of Blues fans and they're all decent. They've been awfully run last few years and not quite sure how they haven't been relegated yet (remind me of us 2007-2012). And fair play to them for letting us use STA for those 2 years. Was shite but still loads better than Sixfields.

 

[MAFF]

bloody hell

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

bloody hell

Just give us a 3-0

 

[jordan210]

Just forfeit the game and let us have the 3 points

Please if true, dont be like the bolton game !

 

[Hutch11]

We played and lost to Blackpool with a decimated squad due to a sickness bug so fuk em

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Not sure I believe this so will take it with a pinch of salt

Agree, it could be exaggerated. This will be a tough game for us no doubt about it, we seem to draw with them more often than against anyone else!

 

[Evo1883]

 

[SonofErnie]

Getting their excuses in early? Didn’t that happen to us before the Blackpool home game?

 

[TomRad85]

 

[Matt smith]

All adds to the pressure

Need a big performance from vik, no game midweek, Onus is on him

 

[David O'Day]

we should be beating a full strength blues team, let alone one with the shits

 

[Macca1987]

We should have battered Blackpool at our place but still got turned over. I won't stop worrying until after 5pm on Saturday with 3 points in the bag

 

[Robinshio]

maybe its just eustace and Jutkiewicz knowing where their priorities are

 

[skybluelee]

But that was our team that had the shits not the opposition so its the exact opposite situation.

 

[AOM]

They've leaked that so we think it should be safe to play our reserves. Save our starting line up for Middlesbrough

 

[Paxman II]

It's a win all day. They will be willing the ball in the net. Yes nerves, but a strong start, not a cautious one is required. Do not sit back and protect, waiting for opportunities. Put Birmingham on the back foot immediately, get the crowd going and we should be OK.

As a footnote, it's an incredable position to be in after all that's gone on. If we don't make it, I think we can look forward to an very good challenging season next year without doubt.

 

[Garlana86]

I worry every time we play blues, not because they're good, but the opposite, the long throw shit is our bane, we got done by Wrexham because of it and went 2-0 down at their place from it last season(before we won 4-2). I worry they will make it scrappy and that suits them.

Needs Fadz back in really.

 

[blunted]

If they do have a bug, we don't want to catch it for Middlesborough or if there are any subsequent matches. Score goals but don't go near them

A bit like the QPR game

 

[shmmeee]

Thinking about it if they’re ill and on the beach and we want to get at the early to get the crowd onside, I’d keep the likes of Kelly Godden Bidwell and Dabo on the bench and try and kill them off first half with experience to come on if needed to see the game out when they’re tired.

Wilson
McNally Fadz Doyle
BNC Hamer Eccles JWE
Allen
Walker Györkeres

S: Tyler, Panzo, Dabo, Bidwell, Kelly, Godden, Maguire

Have a horrible feeling it’ll be a tight 1-0, which Id take all day, but would love it if we smashed them 4-0 for a proper party atmosphere (and the goal difference).

I’m sure Robins won’t fall for that one

Why do you go on and on about us playing Walker instead of Godden ?

 

[SleepyGinger]

Remember them being quite a physical team, can’t get involved in any of the the shenanigans this likes of Deeney, Hanibal might bring. The last thing we need is a Hamer or Vik red.
