MATCH THREAD : Birmingham City vs Charlton Athletic | Saturday 15th February 2025 - 3pm Kick-Off

Unfortunately @eastterrace6168 has got injured in the warm up today, so I'm deputising. Having beaten Birmingham 1-0 at The Valley back in October, we've got the chance to do the League double over them, but we've got to overcome the Curse of the Former Player in the shape of Alfie May first. Hopefully 3 points, a clean sheet and goals from Tyreece, Miles and Karoy will mean a sizeable contribution to Tracey's PSA fundraiser from me. Not exactly holding my breath on that one though.

It's an unchanged squad again today:

Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; Ramsay, Jones, Gillesphey; Small, Berry, Coventry, Docherty (c), Edwards; Godden, T.Campbell
Subs: Mannion, A.Mitchell, Anderson, Gilbert, Leaburn, Aneke, Kanu

Teams to follow in a few minutes.

Typical, right after we were all praising Will Abbott.

Our bench is still decent, but that bench is ridiculously strong for L1.

Feel the same. Look forward to every game but this one does feel different and I have sense of dread which is completely irrational. Deep breaths......

Bielek and the no 9 both start on the Brum bench so we need to have this match wrapped up before they get onto the pitch and the ex-player curse strikes.

Line-Ups from the original fixture... those in red starting today, those in blue on the bench

golfaddick

Good to see playing the same line up.....same bench as well ? Can't be too often we've done that.

Let's not worry about them......let them worry about us !!

Hopefully not that major, so you get to sleep in your own bed tonight. Maybe best to avoid following our progress today if they're keeping track of your blood pressure, as it's sure to mess with the readings. 🤞

The fucking arrogance of Birmingham City with ther 'UNDFTD' training tops. I hope Jones uses that as inspiration and I hope we smash them off the park. Never have liked that club. MGGYCNTS

I don't suppose you fancy having a bet on whether the earth is flat do you.? I reckon its  not!

Maybe they're wearing it as a tribute to our League form against them

Dreamt last night that TC absolutely skinned their RB, cut inside and hit a banana shot into the top corner clipping the post on the way.

Only issue, we were all at the Valley. So no hints towards what might happen at St Andrews…

Is he?
Does he normally go to away games?
Can we read something into this?

Yes... He played for Birmingham too, he's there as their guest today from Brownie's comments
