Birmingham predictions

Recommended Posts

Predictions for tonight anyone ?  I think we''ll scrape a 1-1 draw.

Birminghams'' Last 6 games

Luton (a) 3-2 defeat
Leicester (h) 1-1 draw
Leeds (a) 3-2 defeat
Ipswich (h) 2-2 draw
QPR (a) 2-0 win
Hull (h) 2-1 win

2 points from last 12, have drawn their last 2 home games.

Team News - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/6050622.stm

On-loan Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner is in line for a recall for Birmingham following a knee injury.
Midfielder Stephen Clemence is back after the ankle knock while David Dunne has returned after an ankle problem.

New Norwich boss Peter Grant welcomes back Republic of Ireland defender Gary Doherty after suspension.

But the Canaries could be without midfielder Andy Hughes (hamstring), Adam Drury (ankle) and striker Peter Thorne (rib).

I''ve taken to making predictions on my signature.

The ones I get right will stay there. Those I get wrong will disappear as if i never thought them up...

I''m pretty sure I won''t end up with a huge signature under every post [:$]

Birmingham 0 City 1. Shackell (61 mins). Expect more goals from defense with their new found freedom.

Birmingham are quite capable of leaking goals, just as much as us at the moment. However players run like **** when a new manager is in town to keep themselves accustomed to there way of life. This could give us an advantage tonight if this factor can tighten up our defence? We will always be dangerous going forward in this division, given our players. So here goes!

Birmingham City 1 Norwich City 3 (The grant revolution begins!)

And there was me thinking that our defense had been giving too much freedom to the opposition [:)]

I think a draw would be a good result

[/quote]Hmmm. I don''t.Don''t get me wrong, I''m not expecting a miracle overnight, but one of the biggest reasons for getting shot of Worthy was our away form. A draw away is an OK result, but the only "good" result, home or away is all 3 points.However, putting on my realist hat you''re probably right - but I''ll go with 2-2. Hucks and Earnie.

You are confusing good defending with negativity. Its possible to have a good well organised defence but with the players having the freedom to attack. Good Norwich sides of the past used to have defenders, particularly centre backs, going forward and scoring regularly. Steve Bruce and Duncan Forbes are two that immediately spring to mind.

Yes, Kathy.

But good Norwich teams of the past, like the cream of     .............     er .........   2003 used to go forward at corners and that''s all. Other than that, their job was to put the s**ts up the opposition strikers and clear anything that came within two yards of the box.

That didn''t do us too much harm did it? Also, football has changed since Bruce/Forbes day. With such pacey, fit players, and teams playing on the counter so often, any defender caught out of position is putting their team in jeopardy.

True Kathy, Ashley Cole comes to mind as a particularly adept overlapping left-back, the bigger defenders always cause trouble in the box too.  In my negativity, er, defense, I was using your comment for a cheap dig at our part-time defense and should know better.

Onward and Upward !

This match a draw is good, mostly wins only good result however. (even

chelsea would take 1pt at each of old trafford, the emirates and

anfield)

2-2 tonight, if all goes well.

Dispite our need to inprove our away form 1000%, I feel St Andrews is an unlikely place for the revolution to truely kick in.
