I've not kept up completely with availability of players, but from what I have caught , I wouldn't be surprised at going back 4 and King sitting in as a screen. I'd worry about height at the back so maybe a time for Pring to come in ?

                         Bentley

Tanner - Vyner - Atkinson - Pring

                        King

          Massengo - Scott

                  Weimann

             Conway - Wells

‘Best’11 that are fit….

Back 4 but looks a little open hence 2 fullbacks.

Lots of pace energy all over the team but not sure defensively.

But looks great to watch

Front 6 all good in the ball and have pace.

Front 3 can all interchange.

                  Bentley

Tanner  Atkinson  Vyner     JD

                Massengo

         Wieman        Scott

  Seymenyo   Wells        Conway

[RUSSEL85]

I don’t often predict a defeat but have a bad feeling about this, I feel we will get roughed up and bullied out the game. Going with 3-1 to Brum.

How many away fans are we taking? 

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Afternoon all!   Much as I would like a win today, I think a draw would be a good outcome, bearing in mind our form of late, plus injuries. Anybody know if Klose is playing?  Anyway, let's hope we can raise our game and not be bullied by them, so I think a 1 - 1 draw at best.  Come On You Red's.

If we line up like that, we will get battered.

Handy, a few pints - then pop across the road and pray for a clean  sheet

I predict either a win or draw for BCFC today.

433?

[old_eastender]

No real surprises in that line-up. Think Sykes is lucky that Wilson is unfit, otherwise he might have found himself out, having had loads of the ball the last 2 games his deliveries have been woeful, needs to sort that out today.

[elhombrecito]

The way the team is written there suggests King is in midfield and it's four at the back.

I'll bet it's 3 at the back with King in there.

But what BCFC?

[Red white and red]

I hope king has had a few days rest. He was absolutely knackered after 75 minutes on Tuesday.

I guess these early moans and complaints are your equivalent of the players warm up , all ready to kick off at 3 ?

[Silvio Dante]

I know this shocks nobody, but by God, St Andrews and the area around it is a total shithole.

bluff, double bluff, treble bluff

I think so too....or at least "front sweeper"

Brum Xi / 18

Changes for them too.  No Deeney in starting XI, and Harlee Dean back too, suggests they are going back 3....maybe 541, depending on how Bilk, Mejbri (Hannibal), Chong and Hall fit in behind Hogan.

Think back 3 will be:

                           Ruddy

         Trusty / Sanderson / Dean

Colin.                                          Longelo

Luckily Deeney is on the bench.

[bristol_dunc]

We get spanked if it's 3 at the back with king , granted he did ok on Tuesday but for me it's a no .

My first City away match was at Birmingham City in 1951 for FA Cup Tie.

We lost 2-1 and in plenty of visits their since, I've only seen one win in 1989-90 4-0.

Hoodoo side for us so it'll be a big surprise if we get anything.

[mozo]

Tinnion said on comms that Nige had talked about King becoming a CB so that's what it is.

If he did ok on Tuesday and we conceded none, why do we get spanked today?  You might be right, but I'm not sure of the logic

But doesn't Hogan have a habit of scoring against us. Maybe wrong but a point would be a good result having drawn at home to what was the bottom club at the time.

5 goals, inc 1 hatrick.

See Hannibal is in their side. I for one can’t wait for the Sideshow Bob-off to end all Sideshow Bob-offs

Klose on the bench today though.

Could Wilson be out on loan in January? Perhaps back to FGR?!
