Birmingham have a decent team to be fair. I’m not sure we’ll get anything from tonight

 

[borg elite]

Freshening the team up a little with lots of games to come in a short spell.

There were always going to be changes at some stage playing twice a week every week.

Exactly. I'm surprised people are surprised.

 

[Hull Blade]

It's a cliché but this could go one of three ways.

 

[petcharlie]

Surprised at Hourihane, thought him and Norwood were starting to click.

I think we all thought that , Last match was the best mid field show of the season .strange unless someone is not fit

Their recent results say differently

 

[robbiez666]

Yeah hopefully Ndiaye playing further forward will teach him not to expend his extra energy tracking back so much.

Good that he wants to get stuck in but need him higher up waiting for the breakaway

He needs to pick his time to do the tracking. Having him up top will push the Birmingham defence back as well. I suspect he'll probably drop back into the number 10 role off the call. Similar to Didzy.

 

[Bell4]

I'm backing him to saunter about for 30 minutes, get a strong but fair challenge, look like he wants to cry then get subbed on 53 minutes

Well - the transfer windows over , he's he's here for the foreseeable. Let's see what he can do when he has a clear mind , and we do too.

 

[petcharlie]

Hope Berge has a decent game and finally show us and maybe watching managers why he is so highly rated. I am not convinced yet hope he proves me wrong

 

[Drunk blade]

Drunk already and it’s quarter to seven

Tit

 

[Panini]

Hopefully we'll see Berge influence the game in a more advanced role, pretty much alongside Ndiaye with Sharp leading the line.

Not surprised or concerned about one or two others being rotated. This is the first of 7 games in 23 days.

 

[Bell4]

We have a really strong squad don't we

 

[originaltrueblade]

Skys coverage …we are playing aren’t we

It's an odd one. We'll see, but I would have thought Hourihane would be better in that advanced role and he seemed to be getting better each game. Still, as you say, we probably need to rest and rotate.

Also, and I will bet that this is a factor, Berge is taller.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Their recent results say differently

So did ours for quite a while then they’d step up against decent teams

[Blade58]

Why hourihan benched for the container ship? He’s been playing well with Norwood.

Can it be due to the number of games this month? Rotation?

 

[Tickhill Blade]

2 ex-Blades up front for them....

 

[jono_t2000]

Gonna have a shot for each sprint that Berge does tonight.. gonna be a pretty dry Friday night for me

Come on down............

HH

 

[Cappy]

It’s all well and good making it obvious your Programme is made form sustainable recycled paper, but fuck me this looks like it was made from my arse wipes from my shit this morning. And it was horrible.

Three fucking quid

 

[Aston max]

I was just gunna post the same line up mate, the BBC are an absolute shower of shit and we have to pay a licence fee for unbelievable lack of knowledge

I have better thing's to spend £14 a month on
I just hope they get it pulled very soon, we are one of the few countries left in the world where we have to pay

 

[Blacksea]

RND and Fleck need to have big games tonight and stop them getting forward down that side.

 

[Valleyblade]

Whistles?

Bring back Coventry

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Tell you what I can’t stand Bowyer

 

[Pitsmoorian]

If anybody is sending DMs out tonight count me in please. My usual water source dried up. Ta

A-hem...

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

This game is getting called off 100%

 

[mcbladeface]

The brum fans are simply providing rudimentary audio description. No whistles: brum in possession. Lots of whistles: sheff utd in possession
