Match Thread Birmingham City away (3 Viewers)

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Do you think the home/away thing will have much effect here? I honestly don’t see how it can (I know people are saying it hasn’t as much since teams came back from the break... I think that was initially, seems to have gone back to a bit of normality recently). But with us, we obviously like playing there. There’s surely no difference with this one apart from changing rooms and possibly kit?

I think it could because as the away team our pre-match preparation will be different which could throw us off our stride. Just that autopilot of going into the dressing room is disrupted and just going into a different one will upset the rhythm slightly. This would've been a good game to wear the Members top. It's an away game so will require a changed strip but also at 'home'.

Some of the money they have wasted really shows how good our recruitment is. That sunjic alone was 7 million, if we spent that on one player we’d be wanting him to single handedly get us promoted.

Im saying 3-1 cov win
Ohare, Gyokeres x2

 

[Kieranp96]

Had a dream we got done over 5-0 hope to god I don't experience de ja vu otherwise .

They won at Middlesborough the other week which at first thought was a great win but then Boro got pasted at home the other night by Rotherham.
We should be beating this lot if we play to our strentgh again even with missing injured players. It will be crucial not to lose it and so Mcfazdean comes straight back in for me. Allen gets a start and we need another great performance from O'Hare. James getting better each game too.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Maybe not but different changing rooms, daft as it seems can make a difference breaking the normal matchday routine.

The biggest thing for me is a lack of fans which destroys the local derby eliment and turns it into just another game. That may or may not be in our favour - but this should have been one of the standout fixtures of the season regardless of respective league positions.

Hopefully Gyo’s goal gives him the confidence to assert himself more, he flaffed a much better chance not long before.

What is the deadline re: Blues signing a forward (Sam Cosgrove, Aberdeen) in time for them being eligible for tomorrow's game?

 

[CovUpNorth]

Could the game be called off tomorrow??

Is snow forecast ? Acuweather shows just rain

 

[skybluesam66]

signs on M6 are warning of heavy snow in W midlands tomorrow

 

[Johhny Blue]

I see snow from my window right now. Looks like we might see about 8” by tomorrow

 

[Greggs]

Yep, i've prepared myself mentally for it to be abandoned. Saves being fuming tomorrow!

Milkman paying a sneaky visit? Make sure he wears a mask........

 

[bawtryneal]

Going to be busy in the Roost tomorrow.
What time does it open ??

 

[shmmeee]

So are we going to get iFollow commentary because we’re at St Andrew’s or are Clive and Oggy banned because it’s away?

Oooo matron

Good question... As much as we like to mock Clive it's not the same without him!

 

[Johhny Blue]

Oooo matron

InCanada we call that “shrinkage”

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

I wonder how hard Birmingham will try to beat the snow given their poor recent form.

If they cancel it, refuse to rearrange it until Walker, Fankaty and all are back.

A bit off topic but Reading are playing Bournemouth off the park. I think there was a slight over reaction about our performance against a very good side.
Back on topic I think the game against Brum is can’t lose, fancy us nicking it 1-0

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Reading 3-0 up v Bournemouth - half time coming up. Quite glad, as thought some of the Bournemouth players acted like Billy big b*ll*cks when we played them.

 

[Mcbean]

Haven’t they got Wiltshire !

We didn't play badly in general, just made some silly errors and missed two good chances

 

[Speedies_Chips]

No, they haven’t got a player called Wiltshire.

 

[lord_garrincha]

Smug prick Bournemouth boss... Not looking as smug in his post match interview... I hope they crash & burn... Really did not like their attitude in that game.

 

[clint van damme]

Blues have will have had a 10 day break and have a pretty much fully fit squad so I'm not sure it's a good time to play them.

They've also lost 8 of their last 9 home games. Not that our away form is great but with it being at SA hopefully that's negated a bit.

Remember Millwall had had a decent break when we beat them.

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

I’m wondering if the game will be on. The amount of rain that’s fallen overnight makes me think the pitch could be very heavy, which won’t suit our passing game.

Some of their fans on their forum giving it the big i am to. Talking as if they were a club the size of Liverpool and beat little old Coventry

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Woke up super early and really excited for this.

Cov at 3. Mallorca at 7.30. Football day!

Bet it all ends in tears.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Different type of opponent and style of play with Brum compared to SW. lot more possession based. Will be interesting to see if Robins sticks with the same formation and line-up. Pask only one to come in for Dabo or will he bring Kyle back in and push Leo to RB or go back to wing backs.

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

Just started snowing in Birmingham...

 

[Deleted member 2477]

The weather forecast if right will mean the game will be off

 

[Spurs 'City Away Kit' Kit]

The weather forecast if right will mean the game will be off

Doubt it, unless there is a sudden freeze and the ground becomes dangerous they’ll play it.

 

[shmmeee]

Why, have they run out of orange balls?
