I usually get the Metro outside New Street but its always a nightmare trying to get back. Anyone ever done the train from Snow Hill to the Hawthorns? Looks a lot easier and can't believe i didn't know this was an option.

Lati went up in my estimations last night. I didn't think he had it in him but he proved me wrong

For all the stick Lati had early in the seaaon he should keep his place on merit. He sometimes looks like he is running in treacle but he has good awareness and can read the game well and that is a big asset.

Really looking forward to the day out, into Brum for breakfast, few beers on Colmore Row, over to Snow Hill for the train to WBA and then a mixed grill after the game

If we can't beat them there this season we never will, would really love to push them a bit closer to the abyss - A professional 0-2 please and BTA to get on the scoresheet after no doubt being booed

Normally say take a draw but with sheff utd after we really need a win here to keep confidence height as we enter the final stretch

Also Boro likely to win their game so would be nice to stay top

Same team I assume as they all know their jobs off the ball clearly

Snow Hill train is much easier than the Metro mate, I will be doing the same

Well.....you would have thought so, wouldn't you, but you can also imagine it is set up beautifully for BTA against his former club.

I would say he will get game time whatever, even if it's just off the bench.

Could have a full squad soon so interesting to see who drops off the bench. KKH knocks Bidwell off I'd imagine. Who we thinking for BTA? I'd guess one of the CBs.

Biggest call for Saturday is who drops out of the match day squad for BTA. IMO we do not need x2 CB's so Woofly should drop out but Lamps seems to want to keep him involved

Yes would have to be, unless its Markelo for the balance

We have to reverse our away form if we want autos so hopefully this is where we start.

I think Onyeka will give us what we've being missing on the road.

While I agree with people saying same starting 11 I think we may see changes given we have another game Wednesday

It is gonna be WBA camping in their own half if this manager they have is anything to go by, we usually struggle against that set up, a nice early goal could set us on our way to a comfortable win

Train getting to Hawthorns Station is no problem... about a 5 min walk after.

But it can be a replacement bus going back.

Need to plan it out myself with the earlier ko.

They have ground out a couple of 0-0s recently so presumably they learned from the pastings they got and will try something similar again. Hopefully we have enough to edge it.

Yeah snow hills sound. We normally walk up to Jewellery Quarter and go from there as theres a load of good pubs.

Same starting 11 as last night ( and until the end of the season ) barring injuries

Hopefully Rudoni has recaptured his form . Wright to score again and go on a run now

Does BTA deserve a chance at getting in the team any time soon? The only place he can realistically play is AM or ST. Both seem well catered for at the moment

I think we will follow up last night with another win. Frank Onyeka has added some grit and fresh belief to us.

Last time we play 2 away games on the spin all season btw. 3 points would be reasonable, 4+ would be fantastic.

He can do a decent job on the wing as well so he's worth at least a place on the bench

Onyeka/Grimes was a great shield for us. Grimes has been off it recently but think he'll pick up again next to a player like Onyeka.

I bet they wish they could step back out on the pitch now and carry that buzz directly into this game.

I agree with Nick, it has to be the same team for me. They were all fantastic to a man and deserve to keep the shirt. You have players like Latibeaudiere who have come into plenty of criticism over time on here, but who can say he hasn't deserved to play at the moment? Those levels of fight and dedication have been something we have missed.

The challenge has to be that we play like we did last night. From the first minute we go hunting down their players.
