Second City Red Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Birmingham, like many other cities, has its less salubrious areas- St. Andrews just happens to be situated in one of those. It's not somewhere I would choose to visit or linger in, let alone park after dark! The same would apply to Knowle West? Birmingham is well worth a visit (outside of the football season?). Ozzy the Bull will greet you at New Street, some great Victorian buildings (some great pubs included), parks like Cannon Hill, the canals and, of course, Bournville and Cadbury World! Give it a try! 3 Quote Link to comment

Bar BS3 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 58 minutes ago, mason said: Difference between; Sunderland currently on 36pts and top six and Brum 6 from bottom on 27pts, is a gap of only 9pts (3wins) so there are a lot of clubs that might be top six. Anyone who can string a run of wins together can rapidly rise, also those who string a run of losses can dramaticaly fall. Southampton and Liec look favs for returns to the top div any of rest could still join them. I`d go for Leeds or Ipswich to join them atm unless JL gives Manning some back up with a cash injection then we could be playing either of them at Wembers Yeah, the league is always tight. Any run of form can push you up, or down dramatically. It's nice to be up around the top 6 for a change though.! Quote Link to comment

redkev Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Hope our fans have left in plenty of time , seen coaches getting on M5 at Avonmouth at 4pm , I had just driven down from up north was really busy northbound with some places at a standstill . Quote Link to comment
miketh2nd Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 I'm gonna guess weimann and bell brought in and probaly James too if he is fit just to freshen the team up, we cannot afford to lose Sykes or mehmeti in current form to a long term injury. 1 Quote Link to comment

I really wouldn’t change anything. Mehmeti has just started to get into the run of games he’s been craving for months. Sykes is fit as you like. 3 Quote Link to comment

Not sure Conway has produced a lot lately in open play, so could give Wells a run out. It was Williams in for James that made the biggest overall impact, I thought. After thumping Watford, it would be a shame to change the starting lineup though unless there are any fitness issues Edited December 29, 2023 by wendyredredrobin 1 Quote Link to comment

He is young though and will improve in these areas over time, but Wells has a bit more experience and guile. I would be happy with either starting TBH as both have their pros and cons Edited December 29, 2023 by wendyredredrobin Quote Link to comment
Finley_Smith10 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Hopefully just Wells coming in for Conway. Apart from that wouldn’t change the rest of the side 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Offside Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 We’ll be going into the game full of confidence while Birmingham are in a slump, but this division is so crazy tonight’s game easily could go either way. I’d like to think we can at least extend our unbeaten run. 2 Quote Link to comment

Red Army 75 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Happy with that. Wasn’t it great to see against Watford, bringing the likes of James, Weimann and Wells on. Feels you with more confidence Quote Link to comment

He takes up positions /makes runs to not just get in himself but to drag defenders out of position for other runners 2 Quote Link to comment
