Could never understand why the tickets are so much more expensive in the Lansdown compared to the Dolman really.

The thing I find most irritating though is all the empty seats in the prawn sandwich section.

3,000 droning Yam yams will give us an atmosphere todays and I hope we are able to outsing the whining sods.

I do confess to being a bit worried about this one though seeing that they were good enough to take 3 points off Leeds last week.

Watching Leeds last night and against Cardiff on the opening weekend. They don’t look too much of a threat (To the league, that is). I can’t say I’ve seen any team where I feel they are going to run away with the league. 
 

String a few wins and play offs are in question, lose a couple instead of sneaking a draw and relegation is a serious worry. 
 

Got to love the championship!

Can't get to the game or watch on RTV as at a family "do".

I think Birmingham have recruited very well and expect it to be a very tight game.

I'll predict a 1-1 draw, but wouldn't be surprised at 1-0 or 0-1.

Biggest newest most expensive least used stand . Doesn’t make any sense 

It's still just a seat along the side of the pitch and the view is no better than the Dolman though. It's not as if the seat is any bigger, has a cushion or gold plating or anything else.

Good point, though a cap solves that.

View better in the Dolman- not least because I like looking at the splendid Lansdown.

Tbf in the lansdown you don’t have your knees in someone’s back and the knees of the person behind you in your back.

Entertaining game at Home Park.  Southampton not being allowed to play pass-pass-pass, but look a threat.  Argyle a few useful breaks.  Don’t think it’ll end goalless

I see Che Adams is playing despite his allegedly imminent move to Everton. I expected to hear that he was not playing because he had that most common of injuries, a knock.

Think this will be a tricky game today Birmingham are a well drilled side , we are going to have to be more creative than against Preston, I would be happy to take a point from today, 

Appreciate I'm probably just being pedantic about your use of language here, but I don't think we should be "happy to take a point" at home to Birmingham.

That's not to say it won't be a tough game, nor is it to say that we should be angry about a potential draw, but if we want to kick on and push towards the top 6 then this is the kind of game we should be looking to win IMHO

[BritAbroad]

I think we will get a 2-1 win

[IThinkThatOnesRooney]

I don't see a lot of goals in this one today. 1-0 to us with a few cards shown.

[cityal]

I'd be very happy with another hard fought narrow win - I think my blood pressure would prefer a comfortable 4-0 though

Gas in the Away End?

Bell starts up top. Wells not in squad, another injury?

No Wells?

Really hope not as otherwise, we really will need to sign a striker before the end of the month 

[Spike]

Very interesting line up. I mean we talked of depth and yet that bench is looking very light today when it comes to attacking options.

[Hocca]

I think we may need a striker!

Frustrating that what looked like a deep and balanced squad has been taken apart within 2 weeks of the season starting

Certainly looks like we are going to need a couple additions!

Another "baffling" selection of Cornick

[RedorDead BCFC]

Why only 8 subs 

[Spike]

I get that if Wells is injured, Conway is injured etc that Bells is the most likely candidate to step into the middle but I feel like he's wasted there with our style of play, he much better suits the wide position and running at players in a wide position. Conways injury has really hit us hard and for the first time in a long time I feel like a half season long loan may be required.
