Some folk are keen to disparage Sordell. He hasn't been given a decent run in the team and has mainly been handed the odd 10 minutes or so here and there whilst most of our strikers were firing blanks. Sordell has bagged 2 goals in his last one and a half league games. That ranks very highly for any of our players this season. He doesn't run around and often appears lazy but he knows how to finish. Let him have a run of games before we judge him.
As much as I'd like Piotr to start, I can't see Powel dropping Sordell after last week, so Piotr to start from bench(?) We're looking to ship Evina out on loan aren't we(?), so Lennon ahead of Evina at LB, if Wiggins is out.. With Wilson back, someone has to miss out from the midfield, Jackson will surely start if fit, Cousins and Poyet to retain with Ajdarevic moving to the bench?
I doubt CP will pick that side and I exoect JJ and Sodall to start.
If it's the team I'd select there will be seven players In the starting eleven who I have never seen play. Will be like the Bournemouth game in our. League 1 winning campaign. Hope its te same result!
The red robin - has he really? Each to their own opinion but ppl who think Wilson has been one of our best players it just proves the season we have had. His cramp and not good enough for the championship

Quite clearly you know f... all about football. Some clueless twats on here. Jeez.

Not really. Not enough players have stepped up like wilson when they have been asked to.
Sordells not shit he's just got no pace no enthusiasm no commitment no desire no hunger no shooting ability no heading ability no hold up play no link up play and basically looks shit

I'd still rather a chance falls to him than Church though
It's hard to call this one, particularly when the team selection is hard to predict. Some of the selections suggested look woefully weak notwithstanding my ignorance about all of the newbies. I fear we will do well to get a point.
Seeing as the club have put out a vid showing the striking prowess of our new players, I'd be suprised if Polish Pete doesn't play tomorrow. Wouldn't mind seeing a bit of Koc coming off the bench either...
I doubt we need to win 10 games - 50 points should see us safe which probably means 7 or 8 wins + a few draws. Agreed its a tall order considering our form so far.
Don't really mind who starts - though would love to see Piotr and Reza in tandem up front - as long as we get that win we so desperately need. 3-2 home win, with the final 20 minutes camped in our own penalty area.
Impossible to predict and haven't a clue what the team will be. Never felt that so deep into a season before. Just got a feeling that Sordell will start again after scoring last week.

This is true but most want to see players who want to play for us, who give 100% and are hungry. We are all hoping the new strikers are this and really want to see them play. Having said that Sordell scored last week, if he starts he wants to look like he means it or he will be getting some abuse no doubt.

--------Sordell, Reza
Subs: Phillips, Dervite, Hughes, Green, Ajdarevic, Church, Parzyszek
Coco
Nego, Morro, wood, Lennon
Wilson, cousins, Poyet, Ajdaravic
Parzysek, Reza

Also - Smallhall - Wilson our worst player? He's been one of our best this season.
Just crap would have done
It may of course be that they do not want Birmingham to target our left side too much!
if he is expect -
Wilson, Morrow, Wood, Wiggins
Cousins, Poyet, Jackson, AJ
Reza, Peter.
team we can pronounce, team we can pronounce,
I wasn't at Wigan, but not a glowing report from those that were within the player marks thread... Do prefer Wilson at RM to RB though.
Last week Brum put out a very yng team (no idea why) go for the throat smash them for 90 mins
