    Same team I'd go with, ideally Ekwah for Jobe if available. A dead leg doesn't strike me as something you'd be out for long with or would need to be too careful about but who knows.

    Injuries now seem to take so much longer to get over. Everyone seems to be out a month at least, not sure how the lads in the 70s coped

    Top marks RTB for another great Match Day Thread , your team looks good to me but TM has a few options up front now, a win is well within our capabilities and should get us right back on track, OaU .

    Where are people boozing pre-match? Won't be drinking, but always good to get a bit of atmosphere and pre-match craic

    Talking to a Sheff Wed lad this morning and he asked if I could have a word with lads and limit the score to 3 maximum. He's hoping they stay up but not expecting too.
    Anyway I will stick with my conservative prediction of a mere 1-6 to the cuddlies. Rusyn x 2, Clarke x 2, Ballard n Roberts to score.
    Cheers RTB another superb write up.

    Still no Ekwah or Dack. And a couple of other new injuries I think? Unless I misread the transcript of the press conference

    The only bright side is it might give players like Rusyn, Seelt and AA a route into the team.

    He tends to mention the likes of aji etc when he’s on about injuries most weeks anyway, remember brum away last year? Made out like we’d barely field an 11, mind games I think more than anything

    Aye. I tend not to believe TM when he talks about injuries. The whole Stewart rhetoric was bizarre - he was out for 4 months, then TM said end of Sept (allegedly to put off other clubs) and then it turns out it's likely November before he'll play for Southampton

    The Birmingham game last year was hilarious - did us all like a kipper when they had the social media team filming the likes of Rigg, Taylor and Johnson getting off the coach then we ended up making 1 change to the last game :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    Never thought they would make it anyway, shame but probably back after the international break, we still have plenty of options tho' as indicated by the fact that no one has mentioned Pritch or Bennette on here so far , yet both are imo more than capable of swinging a Championship match coming on last 30 minutes or so .
