MATCHWATCH : Birmingham City (a)

[Hound]

We'll lose. Wouldn't risk AH or even Rino if he is anywhere near. Give them the intl break and go again.

+ 1

Though on the same token may as well rest everyone. If we could I’d just play Moore.

We need to stop the rot. A draw will do. Brum have a fair few out. If fit we need these guys on the bench at least.

As with recent games, we need to do the damage in the first half, if it's 0-0 at HT I have zero confidence in the result.

Last thing we need is another Azeez.

Hound's right.

But we need to use the bench we have much better, and set the side up better.

If they are deemed fit then we need them on the bench to come on in the second half. We need a result. If they aren’t right the international break won’t make any difference as they will end up being injured in training.

[Sutekh]

On the injury thread it’s reported JLow (yes I know) has said there are big doubts of Moore (who I think we knew about already) and Ejaria (who some on here have been criticising recently anyway). If true, let’s hope Halilovic can play for an hour or so and think Holmes would just take Moore’s role, but 5 at the back could only really happen then if Laurent dropped in leaving midfield problems esp. if Halilovic can’t play.

Game may not even take place. Can we claim the points please.

[Brogue]

Ya man Courtney Friday said it’s something to do with the ticket scanners… that shouldn’t stop the game going ahead should it?

[Jinx]

Power cut apparently

Surely the stewards can check the tickets.

[Brogue]

Listening to Bbc Berks and a public announcement just came over the stadium tannoy ‘ all stewards commence duties’ which is encouraging

[Sutekh]

Someone tell them there’s no need to bust a gut to get the game on

[Brogue]

Kick off delayed till 3:30

Kick off delayed till 3:30

Shame. Could have used a week off. (Me not the team)

[Zip]

One change. Yids in for Ashcroft. No one else back. So 11 still out. Why is Araruna not on the bench? No Drinkwater or Halilovic. Let’s hope some of this lot are back in a couple of weeks time.

Yes we’ll need cover for when Moore, Yiadom, Southwood and Puscas get injured on international duty

[Sutekh]

Just to confirm team news

[windermereROYAL]

Still no sign of the two players that have been not far off for the last month. (Rino and Araruna)
