[Sky Blue Harry H]

Who were you expecting to play?

That's what I was thinking Fernando - we know about Dabo, and Kelly's edging his way back from injury, so other than Pask for McCallum )most on here wanted McCallum to start) and or Baka for Shippers (who did more than Baka at Brentford) I'm not sure what people wanted/expected?!

But what if he's only fit enough for say 20mins/half an hour? We don't want to be subbing him off halfway through first half.
Much better to bring on a senior, experienced calming presence late on, particularly if we're protecting a result.

Shouldn't be on the bench at all if only fit enough for those short periods. Appreciate we are bare bones but no-one should be on the bench if they can't complete 45 mins.

 

[Tommo1993]

Yeah I’m saying 0-2. Hopefully feel like a nincompoop at FT.

Gently. gently potentially with Kelly or lose him for a while - agree with you in principle, though.

Admittedly the camera was miles away but kasta looked loads trimmer in the background warming up then....

 

[It’sabatch87]

Fcuk it 3-1 City 28/1 and Godden first scorer 13/2 and combined 100/1.
Score first for a change please!!

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

At least with Shipley back the moaners might leave Sheaf alone tonight!

 

[Happy_Martian]

Putting the Sky Blue tinted glasses on, this may be what turns the season around. We're hopelessly short on fit players, our backs are against the wall. Tonight could be the night the Sky Blues make Birmingham Stadium a fortress again !


Note: no, I'm not typing the whole name of the stadium in !

 

[speedie87]

Come on city start well and get opening goal

 

[standupforcity]

Hoping for some Kasta entertainment..

 

[ceetee]

No surprises in that line up. Assume Kelly would be starting if fully fit.

The fact that Kastaner is on the bench again shows you just how limited our options are at the moment - we all know Robins has no intention of letting him on the pitch.

If you are right about Kastaneer, why not put Hilssner on the bench for match day experience

 

[Johnnythespider]

2-1 win tonight, Godden and Shipley, yes i said Shipley

 

[Happy_Martian]

Sky coverage has just started and the cameraman decides to focus on some flags in the opposite stand. BCFC flags. Don't we take these down for our "home" games ?

You'd have thought, but...

 

[lordy_87]

Sheaf started well tbf

 

[Snouty72]

Come on city

 

[Nick]

Giles is getting loads of space.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Started quite aggressively

 

[Nick]

Looked like an elbow in the back of the head on shipley.

 

[Esoterica]

Good competitive start with the wingbacks high and getting space. I'd forgotten about McCallum's long throws too.

 

[Nick]

Some good play but the ball is too high for Shipley.

 

[Covkid1968#]

Got to think quicker Shippers

 

[CanadianCCFC]

Much braver start

 

[Covkid1968#]

Encouraging start City

 

[Kieranp96]

I can't figure out how to watch the game, I have skygo. Ut can't find red button it's pissing me off.

 

[Esoterica]

Incredibly sluggish start from Swansea, there's acres of space out there in comparison to Sunday

 

[AOM]

Good pressure so far

 

[Frostie]

Positive start, hopefully can keep this intensity.

 

[CanuckSkyBlue]

There number 7 holds onto the ball way too long. Need to pinch his pockets

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Started ok here

 

[Covkid1968#]

These look beatable.... And we look up for it

 

[Liquid Gold]

Sheaf improving all the time. Just needs minutes. Getting stuck in more and looking for the forward pass.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Most competitive start we have made. Lots of energy and press. Really look up for it. Hoping we don’t tire second half

We’re pressing much better today

 

[Liquid Gold]

Stay away from him Giles, he’s got the rona
