Re: New Manager Vote
I agree - I have never felt for even 30 seconds this season that Birmingham would not win the league. I hope they pound Wrexham and Huddersfield into fine dust!
Re: Match Day Thread: Mansfield
Great performance but wow we really do have a lot of strength in depth, apart from maybe right back at the moment. With Sadlier, Low and Westagaard and maybe Anders to fit into the team, we have more exciting times ahead.
Sonny times ahead 👍.
Re: Man of the Match - Mansfield (A)
You’re absolutely right, we’ve got an embarrassment of riches, but we’re shuffling them around to fit a square peg into a round hole. I commented on this earlier, but Bez is having to take an extra touch or two to get set as he’s out of position and it gives the opposition vital seconds to reset. Sad’s will be game changing when he’s back, working with Harvie and terrorising the midfield, which is and has been our weakest area since Morley left.
But to come away from there, with three points, wow. Successful promotion campaigns were won of those sorts of games.
Re: Match Day Thread: Mansfield
Cam seems completely emotionally attached to this club. This is a credit to what our club has always stood for, it’s our house and we are family. I think when he goes back to Ipswich and goes on to have the stellar career he deserves, and I think he has England potential one day, I think he will definitely have that trip back to Suffolk with a tear or two in his eyes.
Re: New Manager Vote
Yeah I Woodman. I'm sure they can Russell something up, Des going to be lots of speculation but it seems to be even Steven's at the moment. Perhaps some have a Claus in their contract that we have to meet.
Re: Man of the Match - Mansfield (A)
Good post - I still think a major issue is that Bez is out of position on the wing. Since we insist on Fred and GMac spotting each other on the right, we have had no true wide men for a while out left.
Bez is really good in the box itself, but gets marooned out wide as far as being able to create much. I think it is a case of him being too good of a player for the manager to feel like he can leave out, but I would prefer Fred/GMac as the main men on left and right, with Kodua backing up GMac and Udoh backing up Fred (till Sadlier is back) and both Udoh and Lubala as options for spotting Kone.
Re: FA Cup 4th Round Draw
With Preston having been held by Matt Bloomfield’s Luton Town today, they now face three teams on the cusp of the playoffs. They could be on a rotten streak come the FA Cup tie and be on the edge of the drop zone themselves. The plot thickens.
Re: New Manager Vote
Certainly a decent opportunity to get even more of a margin going as Birmingham have Wrexham then Huddersfield.
Although we don't want to rule winning the league out, it'd probably be better Birmingham winning both those.
