FFS, Zamora. Our manager is going to run our forwards into the ground leaving no one available. We are already down to 2 forwards.
Pretty sure if Nico was fit and ready he'd have been picked for at the very least a place on the bench.
I think Harry is right not to change a winning team and formation too much, looks like the only change apart from the forced one of BZ for the injured AJ, is Carrol for Henry. Perhaps Elotto and Phiilips will come on late. But sh*t, do we need another striker!
Listening to a voice stream from the Birmingham point of view, and these guys are truly, truly sh*te..... They're moaning about us having 2 physios, ffs....
I think I'm listening to the same Brummie commentary, but it keeps dissapearing on me. They have Birmingham as the best team so far, and us not up to their expectations. Believe they hit the bar.
I'm at the stadium. We're ****e. You can see we have quality but we're not doing things right, using the ball etc I think it's insulting that Caroll started over Faurlin. Faurlin would be perfect for this game and Caroll is nervous and lightweight. Barton is on a yellow and looks to be getting frustrated. Birmingham got away with a slide from behind on Hoilett. Harry needs to give them a bollocking at half time. We can take this game but they look like strangers so far. We need to keep the ball down and make them chase shadows. We can do that. Sadly we've lost Hoilett who was our best and was the only person who could replace the woeful Zamora. No other forwards on the bench!
