MrRedRobin Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Also wanted to be the first to congratulate Max tonight on his 100th game in a City shirt. Recently he has looked a lot better and I am hoping that will continue. So well done Max keep it going 8 1 Quote Link to comment
cider hoss rules Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) Seems not everyone is behind WRBCFC, talk amongst their support (from other media sources) today that Steve Cooper is being lined up. Edited December 29, 2023 by cider hoss rules Quote Link to comment

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 Exactly what I was thinking would be so annoyingly typical for us to lose to a bottom 6 side having beaten 3 play off contenders in a row! 2 Quote Link to comment

That was a good few years before, possibly 84/85 although trouble between us and Millwall was a regular thing Quote Link to comment

They're already quite close to FFP limits, Rooney on paper has a 3.5 year deal plus Eustace will have needed a payoff of some kind.. Rooney will have staff too, dunno what terms etc. Quote Link to comment

Preferably radio Bristol ? Only if you subscribe to the audio on the OS, it will cost £5 for the game or £5 per month if you use paypal or your debit card. I alwys use paypal, as you can cancel easily any time. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mr Popodopolous Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 For some reason I'm not quite as confident about this one as many. The recent form book is only pointing one way and certainly if we get it right there should be big opportunities to exploit but yet..a draw wouldn't wholly surprise me. 1 Quote Link to comment

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Afternoon all, I know I will probably regret it, but i still fancy us to get our 4th win in a row. If we keep up our energy and pressing and of course get a few goals, then I see no reason why we can't turn them over. If we do, I have a feeling that it maybe Rooney's last game. So, let's do it boy's.Come On You Red's. 2 Quote Link to comment

hinsleburg Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 I think it'll be a score draw tonight personally. Not sure we've got the bodies to keep this run up with so many games in a short space of time, whilst they look devoid of confidence it'll feel like a must win so I'm expecting a scrappy performance from us but hopefully enough for a point 1 Quote Link to comment

Slack Bladder Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 I imagine this Christmas schedule of 4 games in 10 days could take its toll on a small squad like ours. Good luck to the lads tonight. COYR Quote Link to comment

I've also often heard players say they prefer games to training and in many instances it doesn't take much more out of them. Anyway, let's hope tiredness isn't an issue and we're at least as fresh as Brum tonight. 3 Quote Link to comment
BetterRedthanBlue Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Birmingham always been a bit of a bogie team. So head says a loss with Stansfield scoring the winner, heart says we should tonk them 3-0 without going out of 3rd gear. Quote Link to comment

Absolute dive. Aston, Handsworth, Nechells, Lozells are all pretty bad, small heath is a little better. I do know that WM has a serious firearms problem, I still think Id prefer to be in any of the above areas than some of the areas we have up here in Leeds. 1 Quote Link to comment

Oh, hang on, it's Birmingham. Time to end the jinx methinks! COYR!! Was it during his time managing Brum, that Barry Fry peed in each corner of the pitch, thinking that it would lift the gypsy curse that was allegedly jinxing the team at the time? 2 Quote Link to comment

After such a great result and performance at Watford, I suspect they can't wait for the next game and this goes a long way to countering fatigue. I bet the Brum players are more tired after the roasting they got from WR after their last game! Quote Link to comment

Tim Monaghan Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Just listened to the LM press conference. There were some interesting points, and it seems that we might see RM soon. I wonder if he'll make the bench tonight? Perhaps it's a bit soon, but he's certainly close. I found it intriguing what he mentioned about the information provided to the players (this would be a good listen for you, @W-S-M Seagull). He discussed players adopting different playing styles, emphasizing the need to "stop them from thinking they're playing with shackles on," which I found to be a noteworthy comment. He singled out Pring as one of those players, and we have indeed observed changes in his movement further up the pitch and overlaps. Manning also acknowledged that he's aware he's demanding a lot from him at the moment, particularly in terms of physical demands. Quote Link to comment
