    Next season's team (in the championship)

    Many on here talking about players of the season and stuff which got me thinking about what will happen when we are promoted? To gain perspective the issue for me is who we lose, and who may not be up to 'stepping up'? Of those I would say: Kelly, Shipley, Westbrooke, Bakayoko, Mason and...

    Is it in our own hands?

    So the teams in and around are coming up on the fixtures. They are all home fixures except Ipswich. Pompey on Tuesday then two away games before Rotherham at home. Then it's Sunderland at home, Ipswich (the one away) A couple of easy games then Wycombe at home and Peterboro' at home. This is...

    Stay at Brum!

    This nonsense about returning to the Ricoh while we are mid season could be a disaster. Lets not upset the apple cart while we have been doing so well at Birmingham. Whywould we return to a poorer pitch and have to get used to playing there again? If a return is possible for the start of next...

    Time forsome changes

    Saturday should see a few changes tothe side. We are just a ittle stale and unable again to turn possession into goals. There are some energy levels looking low for the likes of Shippers, Westbrooke, McCallum. We can't keep a good players like Allen on the bench and then expect him to turn it...

    Could be the death of us.

    So we have drawn 11 times and lost just 3 all season thus far. Are these draws going to be the death of us if we want to get promoted? It's frustrating to think a coupleof those draws converted to winsand we would be clear at the top.

    Leon Clarke

    Would he be a good back up for Godden? Fallen in the pecking order at Sheff.Utd, getting rid by mutual consent. He is older now but still very fit obviously, and at this level surely worth a half season shout to have in the camp?

    hatricks back to back

    Have we ever had a player score back to back hatricks? Has it ever been done away from home?

    Ipswich summary

    It's clear Baka has not got what it takes for us and Biamou is a classic striker who given the chance will score becuase his movement is good where Baka's is zero. Now I'd say Max with Godden is the next try out. But O'Hare was very good second half in that 10 role. Allen must come in but we...

    Fixtures next week

    It's going to be a break out week next Saturday with a number of clubs with good starts playing each other. We need to make our statement with a win at Rotherham. A few others will fall off the pace.

    Bright and Bayliss 3m?

    I read that there are plenty of suitors for Bayliss, favourite being Villa with a tag of 2.5/3m. Is that a fair price? Also we are still very interested in Bright coming back. Will Bayliss departure give us the funds to bring in Bright and what would Wolves ask for him? Based on last season...

    Will Robins consider his postion?

    In the light of ground sharing with Birmingham for this season, and the prospect that we could be in the same position for a few seasons longer (with EFL sanction) what must be going through his mind? We are going to lose income affecting squad building. Convincing and signing players has...

    Where does the blame truly lie?

    Playing at the Ricoh looks increasingly less likely again. I think someone dropped the ball here somewhere...a lawyer for SISU I suspect. Lets think about it for a moment. SISU drop the legals so they can have talks and get a deal at the Ricoh. Time not on their side. At last we shout...thank...

    Will it be harder than first thought next season?

    With three from Portsmouth, Sunderland, Charlton and Doncaster still in the league next year and Bolton and Ipswich joining from the Championship will it be any easier to be promoted or reach the play offs? While Bolton may sink like we did a couple of years ago, the others will be very...

    Today's performance

    They look like they have lost the will to live half the time. They have lost the team ethic and seem to play as individuals. Doyle is a big miss I have to say as he commanded respect from them all and was clearly the gel holding things together. He was dropped and now claimed to be injured? I...

    Players form

    It was posted on the match day thread about our past record at Shrewsbury. Historical results though are meaningless tbf. A new crop of players and a different league has no bearing on the past. They are just anomalies. What is not an anomaly are the players form. It could be argued only Thomas...

    Optimism

    Now that things are settling down what's everyone's thoughts and opinions going forward? Have SISU largely done the right thing this last year or so? Appointing and backing MR's, resisting a sale or two of certain players. Is there less animosity towards them? Do we accept they may still have a...

    Nice to be right!

    Start of the season many here did not rate our chances but some (not many) actually called it right. Far too many were pessimistic all campaign. I did call it right with a few others when asked "would success be?" Promotion unequivocally for me and I said it consistently. Today that happened...

    Never in doubt

    For me it was never in doubt we would win the second leg. We have a team that has the ability to score and beat anyone at this level with ease. They showed it at Cheltenham and again last night. Some of our football belonged in a higher league. Regardless of controversial decisions I believe we...

    Yeovil the party poopers

    Has anyone noticed the fixtures for the remainder of the season where Yeovil play everyone in the promotion hunt? Very bizarre. They could hold the key to the whole promotion shakeup! They turned us over and I expect they will do it again. They are going to be the good or the bad depending who...
