The Brummies

Great chance to extend our winning run to three and move even further up the table. Brum are winless in their last 7, scoreless in their last 6 and must be really low in confidence. What better chance could we ask for? I think our main danger is complacency; starting to believe all the hype that abounds at the moment. That has been a real problem for us in the past, where we have played teams with miserable records who put a stop to it by beating us because we thought that all we had to do was turn up and win. That must not happen tomorrow!!

Brum are there for the taking but didn't they give WBA problems recently before losing? We don't want any of that! We need to go there, focus fully and do a professional job on them. We are the form team and should win but we don't want to lose the game by not paying Brum enough respect. 2-1 to us if we concentrate.

Since the win against Derby their form has dipped dramatically. I would say they have been unlucky, and when you watch the highlights, and see the stats, then you understand they shouldn't have lost any of their last 7 games. So, we have to be careful, and we must not underestimate them.

You never know in the Championship. Lyle Taylor scoring 2 extra time goals to give Cooper a win against Bristol. We could have had Taylor, but Piroe is our hero.

Last match vs Birmingham was that crushing 1-0 loss with a penalty at 90'. Their last 2 matches they had 32% and 33% possession. Not usual for them but we should win the possession game easily. Don't know many of their players besides George Friend.

Don't know many of their players besides George Friend.
Jeremie Bela, left wing-back/winger, a good player, contributes mostly with assists
Kristian Pedersen, normally a left full-back (one of the best in the Championship) plays now on the left side of their back three
Lukas Jutkiewicz, striker, scores 11-15 goals per season
Tahith Chong, attacking midfielder, on loan from Manchester United, I like him
Ryan Woods, central and defensive midfielder, the one we used to be interested in
Troy Deeney, yes THAT Troy
Scott Hogan, striker and their top scorer this season, scored 3 goals so far

Their style of play is similar to the style WBA and Luton play. They don't care about pasing, it's all about high pressing, crosses, and set-pieces. So, we have to keep the ball, frustrate them, and not allow them to put many crosses in our box.

And here is WBA's style of play

The only difference is finishing. Birmingham players are obviously not as good as WBA players.

SCUM lost 0-2 at home to Boro , surely the end of the road for Mccarthy, that's 8 defeats on the bounce and they have also lost their last 6 home games .

Downes is out - injured I presume? Fulton comes onto the bench.

Cabango goes to the bench with Manning starting.

Bidwell scores a goal and then disappears!?! Lati starts at LWB.

Obafemi displaces Whittaker!!!

The top 3 are our best at this point ... have to be starting - Ntcham, Paterson and Piroe.
