I still really do not see a Top 6 side. Still convinced we need at least three incoming players in Jan. Then let's see what happens 2 Quote Link to comment
Loosey Boy Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Brum will be right up for it tomorrow……we need to get the first goal and then the ground could start to turn on Rooney/the players. I’m intrigued to see how we do tomorrow - this is the sort of game that City have a history of losing…..come on City, let’s keep the momentum going! COYRs 2 Quote Link to comment
mightyreds89 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Looking at the replies to the Brum twitter page looks like a lot of regulars not going tomorrow night as a result of Rooney still being in charge. Hopefully we can make a racket and get an early goal to turn the crowd and knock any up for it attitude out of Brum. 3 Quote Link to comment

exAtyeoMax Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Driving down from High Peak back to London today, thought about getting a ticket to stop off halfway and watch the match but decided it was too complicated so will be watching on Robins TV instead. Up the City! Quote Link to comment
pongo88 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 There is something about Birmingham that’s just dull and drab. The City, the ground and the teams over the years just been awful. Now there’s Rooney to throw into the mix and he’s dull, as a manager, as well. I find it very difficult to look forward to a Birmingham match with any enthusiasm. This time it could be different because of City’s recent wins but I don’t want to be too positive as that would be tempting fate. Quote Link to comment

Betty Swallocks Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Is this the first time we have played on consecutive Fridays since that great week back in 2001 when we beat Millwall then the week after we went to Reading and turned them over. That week had everything, goals, drama and scraping galore. Quote Link to comment
Porto Red Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 @Jerseybeanif I hadn't seen that you started this thread yesterday I wouldn't have realised that we were playing today, so just wanted to thank you for your clockwork precision there. 1 Quote Link to comment

This time it could be different because of City’s recent wins but I don’t want to be too positive as that would be tempting fate. I agree that Birmingham is the asshole of England - I spent a couple of years nearby in the late 70s and the people there are an odd lot. Been to St Andrews a number of times over the years and the stadium is a perfect reflection on the City - dull, drab and uninspiring. I’m cautiously optimistic that we’ll get another three points. City are full of momentum whereas Brum are the opposite. An early City goal should drain what little confidence that they have. Quote Link to comment
