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...

Have to assume frozen pitch?

Yeah but under soil heating etc.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Yeah but under soil heating etc.

Don’t see what else it could be tbh.

 

[Speedie's Head]

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

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Only got 1 in his last 7. He'll want to take his opportunity

you say that like it’s a criticism but in 4 of those he played 8,9 and 11 minutes twice

What a beautiful touch from the club.

All the players wearing Allen 8 on their shirts

 

[Tommo1993]

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

 

[Nick]

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.

 

[skybluegod]

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?

 

[Ian1779]

Need to EMC targeting the right back

 

[Great_Expectations]

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!

he’s done pretty well when called upon.

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

Birmingham's pre-match playlist goes fucking hard, I can't lie

 

[oakey]

Our game on ITV1 if that is of use to anyone

 

[shmmeee]

no one has said to drop him?

All the players wearing Allen 8 on their shirts

Why? Is he ok?

 

[jto123]

Unfortunately think we’ll lose 2-0. Hope I’m wrong.

 

[DT-R]

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.

Andrews may have to step up today at some point.

Comes on late, scores the winner, we retire the 54 shirt to take the piss

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!)

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Come on Sky blues

 

[RegiswasGod]

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!

Soft enough for the ref. Good that it's an early start

I bet you could if you really put your mind to it.

 

[Nick]

Early goal would be lovely. Get their fans against them.

 

[jordan210]

Need a big performance today

their new stadium will have under soil heating.
i assume that's what the stupid fucking chimneys are for.

 

[SBT]

Still don’t think we need a CM?

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

 

[RegTheDonk]

Jesus, does the man bun matter?

 

[Liquid Gold]

Get straight at them boys

Man bun lives matter
