Birmingham match thread

Recommended Posts

Almost had a heart attack when I read the tweet as read the subs bench first so thought that was our starting XI for a second [:D]

Subs: McGovern (GK), Husband, Reed, Jerome, Hoolahan, Wildschut, Hanley.

Martin and Naismith dropped. Husband benched. Happy with that. Tettey and Trybull should at least give us some protection. If we still leak goals then we''re in trouble as there''s not much else Farke can do to plug the defence.

I said in the other thread - very surprised to see Reed dropped but a good chance for Trybull to introduce himself. Hopefully we can keep the ball a bit better today with a tighter midfield

Yeah I noticed Ivo had been given it, not a surprise really given his persona and rapport with the fans. I''d imagine he''s a good dressing room character too, has a lot of personal drive and positivity

the problem (apart from zimmerman, husband and stieperman being sh17) is that we are incredibly predictable going forward, everything will be down the left, if redknapp hasnt worked that out looking at the starting 11 it wont take him many minutesno balance at all, be better off dropping one of vrancic or trybull and playing watkins or wildshcut down the right, no point in having one up front if you havnt got TWO wide menand if hanley is fit enough for the bench he should be in the starting 11 ahead of zimmerframe

Anyone watching from abroad check to see if they have a "watch live" button? Using a VPN and has worked every time so far but currently only seeing "listen live" in the match centre and getting a little concerned....

But why Alex Neil''s favourite 4-2-3-1? Using this formation all last season was the reason we didn''t make he Play-Offs.Nevertheless, here''s hoping for a resounding display and a much needed 3 points on the table [Y]

Ignore that, it inevitably appeared seconds after I posted.

The link is using ifollow on the official site, with a VPN and paying for the access - doubt there will be any other streams available - there''s not normally.

So the defence is supposedly strengthened and then two defensive midfielders are added for good measure.....

This lot shouldn''t be conceding any goals today...but is there enough in the side to score goals?

Trybull looking tasty in the middle, and good to see Tettey back. We look a bit more composed at the back with Klose who looks good on the ball from the touches he''s had.

Tettey looking very good so far, solid, winning the ball, getting up top and playing in Nelson. Begs the question, why hasn''t he played until now?

At the game now. Was sceptical about Trybull starting, but he is absolutely everywhere.

Kante-esq, nothing flashy but always in space when needed and constantly breaking up play. Short simple passing to keep the ball

Trybull has certainly been the one to watch this half. Has slotted in there very nicely indeed.

Tettey was doing well too until he just messed up with Pinto there and got himself booked. Tut tut.
