Yep. He’s right, before that they were very strong there and for a tired side like ours this is still a tough fixture, but it’s a relatively good time to go there.

Derby recently went there and came away with a point after playing with 10 men for an hour, for example.

Like the Disney boys no doubt theyll raise their game tomorrow. Would expect crowd could turn if we take the lead though

Still holding out for Rudoni and/or Wright to click back into form soon, hopefully tomorrow. If they both do then we’re a different beast. Either way Simms has got to start. Thought he was very good again Thursday even aside from the goal

Wright goes missing in games like this whereas actually Simms has scored a fair number at critical moments. Rudoni is getting there I think.

Birmingham manager is under huge pressure of course, missing various key players and so on. They are there for the taking as much as we are in this energy depleted state, but at least we’re back to a first choice defence.

We are probably playing them at the right time, as it looks as if they are going to spend big in this window to get promotion through the playoffs. Kai Wagner apparently arrived in the UK yesterday to sign for them. I guess he could be registered in time to play us but I can't see him getting much more than a cameo role at most.

Birmingham, like us, are going through a poor patch and I can see it being a nervy, scrappy game. I think it will be either be a low-score draw or Birmingham will scrape a win 1-0 or 2-1. The home advantage will be the difference, coupled with the tiredness of many of our players.

The MLS to the championship is huge leap. It will take him time to adjust. Hope he starts against us.

Would like to see Simms tomorrow as he's up against calamity Beadle, the same keeper that dropped it to Simms feet for the injury time winning goal away at Sheff Weds 24/25

That's what I would expect, although he could be on the bench.

The Manager is under pressure and their silly owners might insist he gets a kick . Nothing would surprise when Americans are involved in "soccer'

I wonder if we have recall options on any of the loan players.

Isaac Moore not in the Forest Green squad today most likely to come back even for the month of January.

It's got under soil heating. Against Derby it looked like someone had driven a tractor down the middle of it so it's going to be a horrible bobbly surface to play on.

We’ve got better quality than they have so if we match them for effort we’ll win, 3 points tomorrow and with other results going our way could start to open up a bigger gap, perfect timing to put a decent run together

I'm a little worried.

We have to match them for enthusiasm and passion. It's not just about who is the better side, or who has the better players. A lot of it could come down to desire and battling for every ball.

Not sure it's going to be a pretty game at all.

I would be very happy with a draw to be honest.

We score first though, I would be then expecting us to go on and win.
