Match Preview;
Birmingham sit 17th, having lost 2, drawn 2 and won 1 of their last five. Their top scorer is Scott Hogan, on 6 goals, and then Troy Deeney on 4 goals. Their last game was a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Blackburn, but all importantly, that loss was on the 18th of December. Their Boxing Day game vs Fulham and their last game vs Peterborough were both postponed...meaning they've had a nice two week Christmas break, whilst this will be our third game in 7 days. I know we are in the midst of unprecedented circumstances, but surely there must be a way of evening the playing field, just a bit.
Anyway, let's look at it another way...maybe they have all had a nice long Christmas break, they've kicked their feet back, had a few drinks on Christmas Day, munched a few extra mince pies and that second portion of Christmas pudding looked too good to resist...why not, they weren't playing for another week. It'll all come back to haunt them...they'll spend the first 20 minutes getting back up to speed, and by then, we'll be 0-2 up, and then in the second half, their lack of match practise will kick in, and we'll score another few.
Back to reality...it really doesn't seem right/fair, but life isn't fair...so we just need to get on with it.
Team news and manager comments to come when on the official, others can add what they know, and as always...
...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!
