2-1 cov. Sheaf, Hamer.

Can't see us keeping a clean sheet (hope to be proven wrong) but I do feel we can win this.

Dabo and O'Hare should be the other way around.

Agree 100% especially with surprises Dabo and Hamer fit.

The issue at RWB caused quite a few problems despite Sam making a good go of it. Particularly with a run of games against other bottom half teams it doesn't look like the right time to be going more defensive

This Birmingham Ffs who are nowhere near a top 10 team. There for the taking. Play like we did against Watford against these and we win. But with such drastic changes not so sure as I was. Hope I'm wrong.

Full backs can still get forward CDM’s can drop in if needed and we lose it high up

An average Championship side are still better than us - if we kept/keep on conceding 2 goals a game we will go down. Need to try something new

Birmingham are hardly an average championship team struggling in bottom third for years and again this year. I'd say they are below average like us.

If we are hanging on at the end of the game, yes. I’m only suggesting we have the option of shoring up the defence with another body, should it be necessary. Tbf, we don’t actually know what they will line up like yet. We might be surprised.

Never been a dull game this season for us on TV. There's always something happening be it a sending off or beating the league leaders etc.

Playing a right footed wing back at RWB would've been a change in itself. Changing tactics every few weeks just becomes counter productive

Probably Biamou for me, play 2 up front. Just think we've looked better playing that way.

If we are going defensive...really don't get not playing 3 big centre backs. Against a very direct team.

Well you don’t tend to make big changes to the starting line up and shape when things are going swimmingly. Especially when I’m doing so you’re making your side even more defensive, even against one of the most defensive sides in the league. You also don’t tend to rush back half fit players as we’re constantly doing with Dabo and potentially Hamer. Feels like a bit of a desperate roll of the dice in reaction to how poor we’ve been all season.

Let's hope we are, I just think this is a mistake.

Important game tonight, one we could really do with winning. But can we just support the players tonight and pick them up if necessary and keep with the bigger picture - rather than knee jerk and just slag players off?

They've set up with a similar lack of ambition but Juke is far more used to playing the lone striker
