Depends what condition the grounds in at St Andrews. On the roads it’s not sticking here, but on the grass it is.

Not in B29. Snowing a little bit but not settled at all yet. Although it’s getting heavier...

As long as we don't lose, and don't get any injuries (not asking for much!) I quite like the idea of watching the lads battle in a snowstorm, if just for the novelty value !!

I can't believe it is only 11:20 - ffs hurry up!

Fuck not being able to sleep well these days, the day is just dragging

 

[Great_Expectations]

Don’t want this called off - really looking forward to it.

Enough positives to take from Wednesday, which I hope is a turning point.

The pitch will likely be even poorer than last game, but I say we have enough technically able players to cope and if we use a high press with COH, Gyokeres et al we could really see the benefit.

Selfishly I feel nearly normal after covid so I’m looking forward to having a nice beer watching the game today.

3-1, why not. Gyokeres, COH, Ostigard.

Better than Burge.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

My only concern is a few more injuries being picked up on a pitch that was already looking bad on Wednesday. Most games we win we are also required to lose a player to long term injury!

Sheff Weds Dabo
Millwall Godden
Wycombe Kelly
Cardiff Marosi

I'd spotted that too and tried a thought experiment. If we got 3 points but lost a player to injury each game, would we be safe from relegation before we had a team which was so weak it would likely lose every match?
I figured the answer was yes.

 

[AOM]

Birmingham's home form is absolutely shocking. 8 points at St Andrews out of 14 games. We've got 21

 

[Mcbean]

Snow is wet and sideways in the South - game on for me

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Haven’t they got Wiltshire !

I don't think it's fair having an entire county play for you!

This isn't football in Tudor times.

 

[Paxman II]

There must be some extra bite to the fixture simply because the landlords can't be seen to be losing to the tenant right? I'm sure the Birmingham players will be reminded of that little titbit, and want to avoid any such embarrassment for the club.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

I remember the days when protection meant a condom, now it's a mask. How times change

I think those are now known as peepee PPE

1-1 draw. Osti to score

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Conditions today are probably when we could do without mucking around too much at the back, as much as I like our passing game. We make enough errors without a sticky pitch adding too it.

Trouble is I think it'll play into Brum's hands as a more direct game will probably suit them. Also with Biamou's injury a heavy pitch could see him injury it badly so IF Baka could give us 90mins of the cameo he showed midweek he could be useful today. We'd need him to use his size fully.

Also given that I'd consider bring in Fadz for Hyam if we're expecting a lot of direct play, even though i'm loathe to change a defence after a clean sheet (but we've got to with Dabo out). Hyam can head stuff away but he could do with a rest and a heavy pitch is going to make any fatigue worse.

Can really see a season ending injury occurring to someone today.

 

[cc84cov]

Good feeling about today Jamie Allen deserves a chance with O’Hare behind GYO

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

If it’s snowing and cold then our Scandinavian players will thrive. 2-1 to us with Leo and Zlatan to score.

 

[Greggs]

So.....when can we get excited about the match, was convinced it'd be off

I’ve read the match reports from those games to be fair. Lots of ruff n tumble

1-1 draw. Osti to score

I misread that, I thought it said Otis to score

Unless there’s a fuckton of snow in the next 2 hours no chance it’s cancelled. There is literally no snow on the ground about 4 miles as the crow flies from St Andrew’s.

 

[Johnnythespider]

I think we'll win today, 3-1

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Just set a flare off in the garden.

I think Allen might start , I’ve heard fadz is not able to play

Not confident me... (new ritual)

It's not the snow that will be a problem it's the amount of rain that there's also been all morning. The walsall match is off with a waterlogged pitch, hopefully the drainage has been working well.

Take a draw!

 

[TewkesburySkyBlue]

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.

Or to their attitude in any game would love to see them relegated

Yeah, will be very wet for sure. But this morning hasn’t added that much more to it so would’ve expected them to have postponed it by now if it was unplayable.
