Birmingham

everdead.ie

I know this is early but just been looking it up and if we win away at Birmingham(big ask) we will go ahead of the points total we had this time last year which in reality would be a pretty big milestone considering our bad start to the season.
I think we will have to play 4-4-2 with VDV out but I thought Defoe's touch was awful on Sunday he's obviously not back on form but it's a shame we have to throw him in the deep end.

Seb to come in for Kaboul(who has been great for us) and Defoe for VDV nothing else will change imo great that we have a week off hopefully now we can spend a day practising penalty's because we have been lucky so far this year we haven't lost any points due to them some tough games coming up though so three points would be epic.

Mr. Guappa

Birmingham have a big derby against Villa in the Carling Cup QF on Wednesday night which should give us a slight advantage as they will be preoccupied with that match until Thursday.

I'd agree that Bassong and Defoe should be the only changes from the Liverpool game. Ideally I'd like to replace Palacios as well but I don't think Sandro is a better option at this stage. Hopefully Wilson comes good with a run of games in the team.

I'd love to see Wilson come back with a bang but he does seem to be the weak link lately.

I think this could be a tough game but given our run you'd hope maybe we could do them.

Well it's looking like we may have two form wingers for the first time in ages. Bale is obviously on form and will have had a good rest this week, and Lennon seems to be as effective as he's ever been, and nothing scares an opposing team more than pace on the wings, allied with good delivery.

If the two wingers can play well, and we get a good game out of Modric and either Defoe or Crouch, we should really be able to win this. It's also a good chance for Bassong to stamp his name on the first team and playing alongside Gallas, with his experience, should help. Having said that, I firmly believe his has some sort of draw written all over it

SuprSi

I'd just like to add that we need to stop conceeding the first goal. While it's great to come back and beat a team from behind, we won't be able to do it all the time and we need to start winning without having been behind at all.

ziedth

^ very good point. It's good to be known as a team that can comeback but you certainly don't want to be relying on it.

I have a strange sneaky feeling we might catch Brum on the hop after there good result the other night and beat them.

Im going to say 2-0

Tough game but Birm are not as water tight defensively as they were last year. Hopefully we can try keep a clean sheet against a side that don't score many goals. here hoping anyway:D

As expected really.

Bench is Corluka, Dawson, Sandro, Kranjcar, Pavlyuchenko, Cudicini & Pletikosa!!

Great to have Daws back.

fabvinny

We're a little early so I can't tell if this is a real stream, but it might work;

is the game online anywhere?

2 keepers? Madness IMHO, surely some young fella could go on the bench and give him a bit of experience just being there like.

This one is in English

SuprSi

Good play up front though Defoe is still rusty.

SuprSi

Get in there Bassong!!

davycc

1 nil bassong

SuprSi

We're all over them at the moment. Need to get that second goal though.

ziedth

Happy days, keep it up Lads.

SuprSi

Jaysus, if Crouch's first touch was better we could have 2 more goals. Brutal there when completely unmarked.
