    Surprised Karoy is starting. 

    Don't think Kanu is good enough yet but we do need someone up there who can press. 

    And anyway, he's still better than Ahadme.

  • The tinkerman strikes again. “This one’s on me, I got the selection wrong. I won’t do it again”. Ok NJ. Let’s see……
  • Blues team to play Charlton Allsop Gardner-Hickman Klarer Bielik Captain Cochrane Paik Iwata Willumsson Stansfield Anderson May Subs Peacock-Farrell Sampsted Davies Leonard Wright Hansson Dykes
    Completely ridiculous side for the third tier 
  • 442 and the forwards to live off scrapes. 

    Pretty negative set up but if we can hang on then the bench might make it interesting...
  • I would have started Leavurn but at least Godden starts. 

    Hopefully the midfield can supply the strikers for a change

    What is he doing? Another tweak and Kanu and Anderson STARTING
    Weird 

  • Very workmanlike defensive diamond by the looks of it.

    Let's see shall we? It's 11 v 11, they are not Real Madrid but fellow League One side. You don't get promoted in October.
  • Still no TT
  • Can’t work out who is in the 10, Anderson? Certainly has the energy for the press and his defensive positioning issues would be slightly less important

    Don’t hate changing things up, just doesn’t fill me with any confidence we will offer anything more going forward
  • No Leaburn? He’s been training for over a month and has played over an hour for the reserves. Can we really not start him for 60 mins then bring Chuks on? Anderson who is immune to shit performances - just why?!

    Just don’t get it at the moment tbh.

    Marc Leonard only being able to make the bench sums up the quality they've got. Think Hansson and Dykes were both seven figure signings too. 
  • Hopefully this can see a change in our fortunes, Wing-Backs havent been getting forward, meaning that the three man midfield has been constantly over ran in recent weeks - This now gives us the extra man, to match up with the opposition.

    Guess the question is... Why only now... But suppose if you changed it after it fails once each time, you'd quickly run out of options.
  • David V Goliath?

    It's Birmingham FFS!
    Just relaying the assumed position, not mine by the way 🤷‍♂️

  • Vaguely encouraged by that team.

    We can’t possibly have any less 
  • What odds on Bielik and May to score?

    Just about the only thing we can trust at the moment is the medical team knowing when people are fit or not .  
  • 442 diamond midfield will really test the fullbacks as they will have to provide the width attacking and defensively, and I fear our midfielders aren't mobile enough to cover those areas. 

    So he doesn't know his best players or his best formation now, all just in time to play the favourites for the league

    It'll be ugly today I fear!

    Yeah because he left in the summer on a Free Transfer, he's with Carlisle United now 🙄
    Naughty! That's worth another pre-match yellow card!

    You know full well that Ross is referring the Scarlet Pimpernel Tel Tayl and not Terry-Ding-Dong-Thomas.

    The problem is his passing is terrible, how many times does he under hit a pass?

    The fact him and Kanu continue to start games shows that Jones got it wrong in the transfer window. 
    those passes will be in the attacking third rather than the defensive one though which will help a bit. 

    Part of me wonders if it’s actually a flat 3 in midfield and Coventry as a 6 behind them, would be mega defensive but can see why Jones might think it would bring solidity
