We get the train to Adderley park and its a 10 minute walk.Does anyone get the train over? If so what’s the best way to get to the ground from new street? I drive so didn’t have a clue but assumed that some of you lot catch the train?
0.008?Genuinely think we will get a few more city fans up there this weekend, even if just 4/500 or so.
todayIs the pre-match conference today or have I missed it?
I got an ubber cost £5 to ground walked back after 20 min walk fine if weather is OK.Does anyone get the train over? If so what’s the best way to get to the ground from new street? I drive so didn’t have a clue but assumed that some of you lot catch the train?

He was dropped off at villa parkWhy did you only stay 20 minutes? I know Birmingham's not that great but was it really that bad!
There may be more home fans as a result of the excellent draw at Pompey.Looks like this will be the lowest league gate of the season by a distance, Gillingham have only sold 260.

9 of us paying on gate i think a lot are doing it this way so farNo sign of that at the moment. Ticket sales seem to be about the same as they were for the last game at this point. Might be a bigger walk-up tomorrow though. Tuesday's shenanigans and with it being a warm day and a bank holiday weekend might add a few.
Please no not Junior Brown, McCallum every time for me over Brown.Going for a three-nil win tomorrow, warm day, smooth pitch and good atmosphere. Perfect conditions for our silky passing game.
Steve Evans to look more like a beetroot as the game goes on, Gillingham red card, Robins to squeak on the radio after the game about our class and potential.
Will be interesting to see who he plays at right back, would like to see if Junior Brown can do a job there and earn some of them wages we're paying him.
Train tickets booked, prices fairly good. One adult two children cost £7, then a half hour meander from Birmingham New Street
Yeah after his covering against Pompy, I'm with you on thatPlease no not Junior Brown, McCallum every time for me over Brown.

Make sure you go out through the Bullring exit (@ New St. Station) and go towards Digbeth, Stu.Does anyone get the train over? If so what’s the best way to get to the ground from new street? I drive so didn’t have a clue but assumed that some of you lot catch the train?
Christ, there will be more Birmingham fans there than Gillingham !!Looks like this will be the lowest league gate of the season by a distance, Gillingham have only sold 260.

Couple of decent boozers on the way, The Anchor being one of em.
Let’s assume the worst and that Jobello is also out, along with Dabo and Kasteneer, and we haven’t bought anyone in by Saturday.
I’d keep the formation the same as it’s obviously the preferred option this season and the players appear to be increasingly comfortable with it. I’d also implement minimal personnel or positional changes, so I’d go:
Marosi
McCallum McFadzean Rose Mason
Westbrooke Kelly Shipley
Bapaga Godden Hiwula
I really don’t want to see Godden shifted to the wing as he’s looked a real threat as the main striker, and I definitely don’t want to see Biamou or Bakayoko on the wing. Therefore it has to be as like for like as we can be, hence Bapaga (or another youth winger such as Burroughs or Walters) in place of Jobello.
I’m also not convinced Rose can play RB, while McCallum is young and inexperienced, his is a natural full back so positional play and awareness should get him through.
My worry with the above is the right side is very very young and inexperienced, so I’d potentially switch Hiwula and Bapaga.
Alternatively (and it goes against minimal changes), I’d play Westbrooke RB and bring Eccles into the middle. Moving from CM to RB isn’t a difficult transition and Westbrooke is a ball player so would suit our passing from the back tactic.
Either way, the team should be on an absolute high and I predict a 2-0 victory.
NB. If you want to be anal about it, switch the word ‘winger’ to ‘inside forward’ - my points remain the same either way.
Do we know if Jobello is fit?
If not, it should be a straight switch for O’Hare, albeit I initially had Bapaga starting there pre O’Hare, so I hope he still gets some significant game time as he looks a talent.
I’d keep everything else the same as my initial post.
Although I’m actually feeling even more confident now, so I’m going 3-0. I’d love to embarrass their tosser of a manager.

Eh? I thought McFadzean was great bar his slip and Rose was dodgy bar his goal.I'd say McFadzean was worse tbh, culpable for the third and was a bit suspect for the second, didn't get out to close his man quick enough imo. He may have been worried about a player running in behind him but thought he should have gone towards the player who crossed it.
