I think the Birmingham fans could win or lose the game for them tomorrow. Not literally, of course. It's a real hostile place for any team to play football when they are positive, but equally it's also a real hostile place for the home players when they are on their backs.

Time for the team to hoist up their big girl pants and go and get a win with a clean sheet. I don’t care if our goal is scruffy. I just want a resolute, solid, calm and collected team performance.

Form is out the window here from a bham perspective in my opinion. Birmingham are much better at home and will raise it against a local rival and everyone seems to be hyping themselves up for us due to our position. I'm actually worried about this match, they will be a lot better than Charlton that's for sure. Just gotta hope we have energy due to resting a few key players against Charlton.

I see another draw.

Stansfield is a big miss for them

He gets a lot of stick but I do think he is a decent little player albeit I think they did slightly overpay for him and they will be a far less potent threat with him not in the side

Is Stansfield defo out?

I remember reading before Ipswich that they'd been hit by the flu in camp, then they proceeded to batter us, I don't believe anything anymore

It’s a can’t lose tomorrow. I cannot stand Birmingham, their fans and nut job ownership. Albeit I have many fond memories of the St Andrews season

Looking forward to the impact the man who 80% of this forum panned last year has on his return. Also hoping the striker who most of this forum consistently slate, despite his recent goal return, starts and scores.

We have enough quality, but I do worry about tiredness, fatigue and a possible lack of confidence.

The only questions for me are where to watch it and do I have a pint. I’m doing Dryuary but have had a pint yesterday and today now . Stag up town or Rainbow… stay in Leics and watch at home?? Decisions decisions. Safe journey to the SBA

Certainly can, so we need the leaders in the camp to be on it tomorrow - whether they are starting or otherwise.

Grimes, Kitching, Wolf, Lati, Eccles, Allen, Bidwell all former captains, leaders or experienced pros.

We should have a team good enough to put in an excellent performance. We are really only missing BTA and Torp from our first choice XI aren’t we?

A draw wouldn’t be the end of the world but I want to see us putting December behind us.

MVE has a new throw in ready for tomorrow

Growing up in N.Ireland and going back during summer hols, I always used to watch the Milk Cup, a tournament for U16 and U18 teams of professional teams.

Seen loads of decent pros before they were 'famous' such as Nicky Barmby, Keith Gillespie...pretty sure I saw Raul as a 17 Yr old. But I digress.

There was a Newcastle player...ended up making the 1st team but can't member his name...Steve someone maybe (not Howie). Anyway, he used to take throw ons like that during the Milk Cup. Never did it at professional level obvs but that clip took me back to the late 80s/early 90s.

Needs to spend less time rolling around looking for fouls that aren’t there. Really pissed me off on Thursday.

Lose today and the gap thins. Can feel a bottle on the horizon- atmosphere around the club changing and not looking forward to this one (or the toxicity if we do)

I think we lose and are out of the top 2 by end of Jan

Have to say, I am nervous for this game too.

It's all well and fine saying we have Saka back, but he wasn't playing well before he was left out, so there is no guarantee that he is going to come back in and be the on-form Saka we all remember.

We haven't been at our best lately (Southampton apart, where we were excellent, I thought), so why are we suddenly expecting us to be good today? Even Grimes hasn't been great these past two games.

On paper and with their players missing, we should win, but they don't call it a "funny old game" for nothing.

We will have to wait and see which Sky Blues turn up. The one that has been struggling lately, or the one where we know we are one of the best 2 clubs in the league.

We also need to be prepared for a scrap and we need to be able to win the physical battles too.

As I said before, I would be delighted with a draw here. Just have my fingers crossed we see the best of the City today. If we do, then I think we will win.

Just not expecting much quality at all in the game today to be honest.

Hardly going to be toxic if (at worst) we are 5 points clear at the top - we'll have a fortnight until our next league game, and time to get some reinforcements in. Any bottle on the horizon is likely t be from the Blues fans (just keep your eyes peeled and tour head down!)
