Think we should be winning this. Manager is under pressure, they’re poor away and defensively questionable. Just need to get the gameplan right

I'm not underestimating these, they managed 29 attempts against Hull and 20 against Sheff Wednesday. Sounds like they're going to give someone a hiding at some point.

Two appalling teams defensively though. You’d hope Heckingbottom sets us up more organised than either of those can manage, especially with us being the home side - don’t think Brum have won away this year aside from a late winner at Blackburn which doesn’t count because they’re crap

Shouldn’t underestimate them with the players they’ve got, but should be targeting 3 points
 
A curiosity of football is that a real tonking after a poor performance in one match can lead to a determination to make the next one quite different, whereas a narrow perhaps undeserved defeat after a good performance can have a deflating effect. That is why we have to put Saturday's result behind us and play with total attacking intent right from the start tonight. Getting the first goal might prove particularly important.
 
Could go anyway this imo. Bham will want a reaction after Saturday as we will however, I thought we played well Saturday. Not sure which way this will go. One thing, it could show oir credentials and how we react after Saturday.
 
I had a good feeling on Saturday and that went for an early bath so saying bugger all about tonight.

Ideally would like to take 2 wins from 2 consecutive home games. Would settle for a win and a draw though.
 
We've scored more goals and conceded less than Birmingham so far, but they have created more chances and conceded less chances in that time. Probably should've won at Leicester in terms of who had the better chances.

As most games are in this league this season, I think it'll be a close one. But they do like to keep the ball, which should play to our advantage. So I'd like to think we'll edge it.
 
Looking forward to another evening match under the floodlights 👍
If we can maintain our home form..we will be too much for Birmingham to handle 💪
Also note, the Blades are at Ewood tonight which is very handy scouting wise 🤔
For the bigger challenge on Friday evening…COYW 💪
