    Masky is not sure about this one, now “Goal Machine” Gary Madine has left us...we could be a bit short! Although “Hatrick Ace” Joe Ralls is back, we might sneak one off the buttocks ....a winner maybe! As I was saying to Trevor (Francis) when he rang...all our forwards are red hot at the moment and Lidl’s have peaches on offer currently! He’s gonna pop down to check them out....likes big ones apparently! A hard fought 2-0 win! :emoticon-0103-cool:

    :emoticon-0103-cool: Birmingham City midfielder Ivan Sunjic returns from suspension for the visit of Cardiff, but captain Harlee Dean serves a one-match ban. Bob Hatton could start against his former club.

    Marc Roberts is back in training after an ankle injury but Maikel Kieftenbeld (knee) is still out.

    Cardiff could recall keeper Neil Etheridge having left him out since 1 January following speculation linking him with a move to West Ham.

    Nathaniel Mendez-Laing remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.

    Match facts
    • Birmingham have lost their last two league games against Cardiff, conceding seven goals across those defeats.
    • Cardiff have not won three consecutive league games against Birmingham since February 1928 (five in a row).
    • Birmingham have not won three consecutive games in all competitions since a run of four under Garry Monk in October 2018.
    • Cardiff won three of their first four league games under Neil Harris (D1) but have won just one of their subsequent seven games (W1 D4 L2).
    • Since his Championship debut for the club in September 2016, Lukas Jutkiewicz has scored 39 goals for Birmingham - 25 more than any other current Blues player.
    • In the Championship this season, Cardiff City have managed just 46 open play sequences with 10 or more passes - 13 fewer than any other team.

    That's the Brum side of my prediction sorted. <doh>

    The only way is up.

    However they mullered us for the first 30 minutes at ours. Looks like more of the same.

    We seem to have more of the possession, but no attempts at all yet.

    Just going to say the same thing. A poor start - again.
