dovin over rushworth?

No, but missing from squad.
He was also playing well last year and is our player, but a keeper discussion for the future, when both are available...

Yea agreed, just the 8 goals this season in 7 starts.

but only 1 in his last 7 Sky are saying and that was the gift against Charlton. I don't see Birmingham giving MVE a free cross so early in the game so we have to be creating a lot more

Other teams have strained squads so they probably had the sprinklers on last night to make sure.

Can see them trying to turn it into a scrap. Hopefully we are up for it apart from kitching and Thomas

If you're a back up player you have to make an impact. I don't see that. I was saying that he should be fresh and eager.

Oh that makes it so iffy lol

Tbf for a team top of the league 2 wins in 7 is iffy. But it's also natural in a season. You just can't let it go on too long which I'm sure we won't.

There’s no discussion to be had. Rushworth is the best keeper in the league and we’d be absolutely batshit mental to drop him because “he’s not our player”

What if you’re starting every week and look as likely to score as Rushworth?

Obviously the pitch passed inspection. But I’ve still got half a worry someone it going to get injured where it’s still hard/slightly frozen.

Sky commented on the fact it was still hard / looked frozen in places!

Iffy form = one defeat since October

Id call 2 wins in 7 and sitting 17th in the form table, iffy form! In fact, id probably call that poor form.

I thought St Andrews had under soil heating... It does look poor in patches

Pretty shocking for a championship ground to have frozen pitches (I'm talking about you Sheffield Utd and Portsmouth!)

Was 50/50 on whether to watch on ITV or Sky. Until Sky tell us that Andy Twatcliff is commentating. Straight to 103 on the remote!

Given we have two more CMs likely coming back next week, one of whom is among the best in the league, yes
