Agree with everyone else that this is a must win game tonight as I can't see us beating either Wigan - who are on a wonderful run of form and their misfortune seems to have gelled their team together even more - or Leeds.
That being the case, LB should start with his strongest team. None of this poor old Johnnie played 45 minutes last Saturday, so if he plays tonight he won't be fit for Saturday rubbish. Or poor old Adam can't play 3 games a week so we need to rest him. Lose tonight and I fear it won't matter a jot who is fit for the last 2 games.10 -
Agreed, never mind 9 cup finals, this is the potentially the biggest of the lot.Fortune 82nd Minute said:Agree with everyone else that this is a must win game tonight as I can't see us beating either Wigan - who are on a wonderful run of form and their misfortune seems to have gelled their team together even more - or Leeds.

We NEED to win tonight, nothing else matters. If we have to play with no strikers on Saturday, and Lewis Page up top, it doesn't matter if we have the 3 points today5 -
Bonne to answer LB's criticism by scoring the opener, running over to the bench and giving the manager two fingers before going on to nab a hat-trick.2

Bet even Bowyer would love that as he'd know his mentioning of Bonne in the press had workedBFG94 said:Bonne to answer LB's criticism by scoring the opener, running over to the bench and giving the manager two fingers before going on to nab a hat-trick.2 -
How do we hope to win if we keep so called strikers in the team who will miss a chance when its easier to score. I think the coach driver could do better.
I'm sorry, never thought I would ever have to write this.
Still hope we win. UP THE REDS.

Aneke should be thinking he did all he could that game to get on the scoresheet and was robbed by a poor official2 -

well as you keep saying we should look forward and not back and whatever the circumstances that wasn't a goal so he didn't find the net.ForeverAddickted said:

Will miss first half hour because I'm busy. Not sure if that's good or not. Don't have a good feeling about this, but as my position in the prediction league shows, I might not know much anyway

Yes... Ignore the negatives - For the players they'll do nothing but create doubtLargeAddick said:

Seriously what is so wrong with trying to find a positive situation from something?0 -
I would go with the same team that started at Brentford, we played well until the subs were made . Birmingham are not as good as Brentford and on a poor run . St Andrew's has been a good ground for us recently so I expect us to get at least a point .3

Against Brentford we went with Bonne up top on his own and Williams just behind him
Dont want to see Cullen | Field AND Forster-Caskey tonight starting that is1 -

As we don't have Ings, Kane and Aguero in reserve, we don't have much choice but to keep faith in the strikers we DO have.Leggie said:How do we hope to win if we keep so called strikers in the team who will miss a chance when its easier to score. I think the coach driver could do better.

Knowing Bowyer it'll be Cullen, Field and Pratley.ForeverAddickted said:

Ever noticed how our 'terrible' strikers get next to no service?6 -
I haven't drunk in a while. But something tells me I'm going to need a few to get through this game.
Already feeling my heart rate slowly creeping up...1 -
Our strikers are a bit shit lads but we have zero goal threat from midfield that is what i see as the biggest problem. You have to have midfielders who score or have the potential of scoring.4

You and half the country by the sound of it. Read articles saying houses down there being sold within 24 hours of being advertised at well over asking price.LargeAddick said:

Exactly. It's almost like a play off final.blackpool72 said:On current form Birmingham are an absolute shambles.
Armed with the knowledge that beating them tonight almost certainly keeps us up we simply have to win.
If we fail to win tonight and end up getting relegated we will have no one to blame but ourselves.
Just win the bloody game.
This is a real Scooby Doo match.0 -

I guess that’s why you have to make your chances count. Taylor managed it, unfortunately we don’t have another striker in that bracket.cs1986 said:Our strikers are a bit shit lads but we have zero goal threat from midfield that is what i see as the biggest problem.

And creativity. Cullen, Pratley and Field are all good engine room players, but aren't going to create chances for the strikers in open playcs1986 said:Our strikers are a bit shit lads but we have zero goal threat from midfield that is what i see as the biggest problem.

Of which I'd say McGeady is our sole Midfielder who could go to shoot from distance that wont leave me thinking its a wasted effortcs1986 said:Our strikers are a bit shit lads but we have zero goal threat from midfield that is what i see as the biggest problem.

Hence why I'm not bothered if we dont shoot enough from outside the box as more often than not we're just giving the ball straight back to the opposition and we're wasting the good work we've got ourselves in4 -
Very well timed run and tap in far post, incorrectly ruled out as offside.LargeAddick said:
