Match Day Thread Hull City v Birmingham

We need to win this one, don't care how or by how many, we just need to win it.

 

Has Linnet still got a car park?

 

Tom Eaves is available for Hull after the striker completed the concussion protocol following his head injury in the draw at Charlton last weekend.

But Josh Magennis (hamstring), Norbert Balogh (calf), Jon Toral (knee) and Kevin Stewart (foot) are all still out.

Birmingham midfielder Dan Crowley has recovered from a hamstring problem.

Defenders Marc Roberts (ankle) and Jake Clarke-Salter (shoulder) will not return until January, while Maikel Kieftenbeld (knee) is out long-term.

Match facts

• Hull have won their past five home league matches against Birmingham City, a run stretching back to December 2011.
• Birmingham have won just two of their past 11 league matches against Hull (D3 L6).
• Since losing two of their first three home league games this season, Hull have lost just two of their past eight (W4 D2) - including winning their past two in a row.
• With one win in their past eight league games (D3 L4), including defeats in their past two, Birmingham hope to avoid three straight defeats for the second time this season, having suffered such a run in October.
• Birmingham City have conceded a league-high 71% of their goals in the second half this season (22/31).
• Hull City's Jarrod Bowen has been directly involved in more goals than any other player in the Championship this season (19 - 15 goals, four assists).

 

Wolves were in the Championship the season before for the figures I quoted. That season it would have cost me £35, (£15 for me as an OAP,£10 for the oldest grandkid and £5 each for the other 2) to watch Wolves play Leeds on a match day ticket basis. It would have cost me £108, 4 x £27 to watch City play Leeds in an equivalent seat behind the goal for a one off game. Wolves have kept the same prices in the PL so these kids even on a match day ticket, though most of their tickets are season tickets with some great deals available, can get hooked by watching them play the top clubs. We never encouraged that, which is extremely sad. Villa are another club which encourages young fans by its ticketing policies.

 

Real things are sorted on Queen’s car park. Ask Polly13 next time he is on.

 

Bit light in the middle maybe? Irvine and Da Silva need to be on their game.

 

just read that nottingham forest want to sign bowen. i bet scunthorpe and grimsby wouldn't mind signing him, but it isn't going to happen.

 

Have we got audio commentary today? Could not get one for Charlton game.

 

And West Brom think it’s 15 million...

 

In their dreams

 

Anyone found a stream?

 

Firstrowsports have one listed. Whether it'll still be there at 3pm is anyone's guess.

Coppers saying hello how are you as we walking in!!!! WTF

 

Ta Stan, but it says I have to sign up for something, so probably fake.

 

Not working for me, firstrow neither.

 

Derby 1 down and down to 10 men after 5 minutes

 

Yeah - likely. They seem to all put up one link that then doesn't happen
