Matchday Thread Birmingham City v PNE | 13.10.26 | KO:8PM | Championship

[OB1]

I think no Nolan for the kids earlier suggests no Clarke tonight, unless he's gone as the extra man.

See also Gryba for Kenny.

Everything crossed that neither is serious.

Means Mills isn’t back either

 

[twickerspne]

I'd shunt Offiah out to RB personally and let him handle Millar.

Agree this - and pack the defence with the addition of Lindsay. Hardly thought I’d ever come to say that. But Saturday with Storey alone is the same old headless chicken stuff

45 minutes for the reserves this afternoon

so that's at least 10 minutes left in the tank going by the rest of the first team. Get him to bring his boots

Depends if we are taking a 21st man, I suppose?

But assuming not, certainly smells like Clarke out, Gibson and Nolan onto the bench.

Means we have precious little quality to reinforce us when we hit the proverbial brick wall of fitness come the 60 minute mark.

 

[sliper]

That is your body telling you that need the early morning sit down on the bog!

Yes but I think we all would be "flushed" with the success

Burgzorg? 😲

Great omen…

That one won't be fixed in a day, unfortunately.

Still to impress me that lad. Runs around alot but that seems to be it.

Honestly, given Grezza's apparent interest in us pressing from the front, could see him starting games sooner rather than later.

 

[Stanleyy]

I hadn't realised Birmingham hadn't won at home yet this season.

Oh well, we know what happens next... 🙄

If there’s one thing North End are brilliant at, it’s helping opposition teams break their bogeys…

Tbf, every team on a poor run thinks that they're custom made to break teams out of their bad streaks.

His few good moments have come when he's started the game. Doesn't seem to have much, if any impact when coming off the bench.

 

[Hoz ']

Norwich had a bad start last season but shooted up the league after a new manager bounce back.

Can’t see that happening over here!

I wonder if the trigger will get pulled again if we lose the next 15 games on the trot 🤣

If we lose the next 15 on the trot there would be no point pulling the trigger we would.be dead and buried.

 

[TF1]

Is that a 3-6-1?🤣

 

[OB1]

I’m usually pretty good at guessing formations but I’ve got nothing there

I’m assuming Lang up top with Gibbs in the 10?
