  • How's the pitch holding up? Looks very dark over charlton?
  • I am surprised at the lack of width but it's a technically strong midfield. Looking forward to this.....coyr
  • Brum have a good away record this season...won 4 out of last 6 away....we need to get at them from the off
  • It could be Jackson/AA on left and Reza on right in 4-5-1 for all we know.

    If we lose today it will be because of the poor selection in midfield, and i think that powell will get torn apart if that happens

    We have very few options in midfield, and that isn't Powell's fault.
    But who starts on the pitch is his fault, playing 4 cms against Bham at home when we are in desperate need of 3 points is hardly giving us hope for a result (I will gladly eat copious amounts of humble pie, but have a terryfying fear I won't :( )

    People criticising the team selection, who would you have picked instead? Genuinely interested.

    Hopefully the fact that ceddy comes in for loic will finally put to bed the conspiracy theories about who is picking the team.

    The right back on the bench at right back, Wilson right mid and Cousins in the centre with Poyet (if he persists with the outdated 4-4-2 formation!). Said on other threads I would like to see 4-2-3-1 and we have players to fit into that setup.

    Fingers crossed we do get the win or CP will be crucified!
    Picturing in my mind GreenhitheRed rummaging around in the shed for a hammer and some nails whilst getting the car keys ready to pop round the timber yard at half time if the score is still nil nil

  • weather seems to be ok until 5 pm
  • Same diamond midfield as last week, same strike partnership, a left back at left back and a right back at right back whats not to like
  • Lets hope Powell gets what he wants from the players today for the full 90 minutes.

  • Is he using the diamond shape again, if so assume midfield will be
    Poyet
    Cousins/AA
    Jackson behind forwards
  • It looks like Birmingham are lining up 4-5-1

    CP will want to play 2 forwards, so he'll be trying to ensure we have numbers in CM, probably diamond - with the 2 fullbacks overlapping to provide width.

    As I said before, the team is set up to play a passing game.

    If it ain't working, on comes Green to provide width and crosses for Peter Parsley - to give the Brum defence something different to deal with.

  • Duchateley is here I think, looks like him at bottom of west stand
  • 15 mins till ko...........COYR's
  • Is it still very windy, watching the Yeovil game you have to keep the ball on the ground
  • Pete F thinks addicks will play diamond formation today.
  • countdown to ko.....as usual sorry upfront for any typos and spelling mistakes
  • In fact, looks like Brum set up 4-2-3-1

    With 2 DMs and 3 CMs further forward, whether that includes Burke playing as a conventional winger, we shall see.

  • forecast seems to have been wrong.....raining hard but only a shower.......they hope
  • just over 1000 from Birmingham in JS stand

  • Pitch is pretty darn awful. Just hammered it down. Can't see this lasting the season if we don't get a proper decent dry spell.
  • Huge amount of rain has fallen in the last 10 mins. Stopped now.
  • Pete F thinks addicks will play diamond formation today.

    good afternoon RM and all the best with the ppppronounciation of the newbies handles !!
  • groundstaff back on pitch....may add more sand.....anyway here we go.....THIS>>>>IS>>>>THE>>>>VALLEY!!!
  • Afternoon all. Ghoochannejhad, Parzyszek and Ajdarevic are still hard to get my hands around but here's hoping. Will be updating from a Birmingham perspective if possible; if not I'll just get what I can down for you.

    Reza, PP and AA are far easier :)

  • So Robert Lee's son lines up for Birmingham today. I suppose his dad will be in the West Stand looking at the ground that he helped to pay for with his transfer all those years ago.
