We welcome Birmingham City to BS3. Another bumper crowd is expected with Birmingham having sold 2,500 tickets. Last season it finished 4-2, https://youtu.be/EjWfg8MmLk4 US-based Shelby Companies Limited (SCL) completed its takeover of the Championship's longest-serving club Birmingham City, in July. A statement released by Knighthead Capital Management confirmed that the previously Chinese-owned club now has new controlling shareholders. It said that its "affiliate company" SCL now has 45.98% ownership of Birmingham City Limited. SCL also has full ownership of Blues' ground at St Andrew's. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66192434 They signed Leeds United forward Tyler Roberts for an undisclosed fee, https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65980004 and Koji Miyoshi from Belgian top flight side Royal Antwerp on a two-year deal, https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65985623 In late June they signed full-back Ethan Laird from Manchester United for an undisclosed fee. They added winger Siriki Dembele for an undisclosed fee from AFC Bournemouth. Dembele joined on a three-year contract after Tahith Chong left the Blues to move to Premier League newcomers Luton Town. They added Wolves defender Dion Sanderson for an undisclosed fee on a four-year deal. The 23-year-old spent last season on loan with Blues and made 31 Championship appearances. Keshi Anderson signed a one-year deal. They also signed defender Lee Buchanan from German club Werder Bremen for an undisclosed fee. BBC’s perspective on Brum: New ownership has brought fresh optimism to St Andrew’s, with American Tom Wagner and his Knighthead group in control – and now the added excitement of a global superstar like Tom Brady, the NFL’s GOAT, getting on board too. The lingering stadium repairs are also close to completion. Full capacity is set to be restored by the end of November, a factor that could be a significant boost to Blues’ home form. Technical director Craig Gardner has again operated within a tight budget to replenish the squad, with the excesses of the previous owners still being felt when it comes to Financial Fair Play. Full-backs Ethan Laird and Lee Buchanan feel like an upgrade and the permanent signing of loanees Dion Sanderson and Krystian Bielik give John Eustace’s side a solid spine, while Tyler Roberts and Siriki Dembele add to the attacking threat. Japanese attacking midfielder Koji Miyoshi is something of a wildcard, while talented teenager George Hall had a breakout season last time out and could just be the most gifted player in the group. Expectations may need to be calmed initially. Another season of Championship safety remains the main on-field priority while all the off-field adjustments are made to rejuvenate the club and re-engage supporters. George Hall has returned to training after missing their opening three games of the season. He is expected to be available for this game after he took part in training last week. Hall wasn't included in the squad to face Leeds United on Saturday as he builds up his fitness following a disrupted pre-season campaign. Hall's return is timely for Eustace, who will be without Tyler Roberts for an extended period due to a calf problem, picking up an injury in training last Friday, https://www.birminghamworld.uk/sport/football/birmingham-city/bristol-city-v-birmingham-city-injury-news-as-5-ruled-and-3-doubts-4258914 Their expected line up, https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/gallery/birmingham-city-lineup-bristol-miyoshi-27537008 For us the game will come too soon for Andi Weimann’s recovery from a heel complaint, and Ross McCrorie is still sidelined with illness. Tommy Conway is still out long term.

They drew away at Swansea on the opening day, https://youtu.be/0xhqSD6D6Rk beat Cheltenham in the Carabao Cup and last Saturday they won against Leeds at home https://youtu.be/BwC2mG5gFlc thanks to a 91st minute penalty, in a game of few chances Brum had two shots on target and Leeds just one effort on target, which was exactly what happened at the Den where we had two efforts on target to Millwall’s one. There will be a round of applause on the 47th minute for Lee Parker who passed away in May after a 12 month battle with a brain tumour at the young age of 47. Also life-long City fan Tim Damsell passed away recently. His family and friends would be grateful to all who can take part in a minutes applause on Saturday in the 65th minute.
