    Tough one this. They are on form and we are limping and stumbling along.
    I’m afraid I can see a defeat looming….

    We don't have a good record at St Andrews over recent seasons.

    Apparently Birmingham, a bit like Cardiff, play long balls more than most so I hope Baker's fit.
    If Pearson goes with a 4 at the back I hope he doesn't pick DaSilva at LB.
    Palmer drives me nuts and it seems him and Pearson aren't on the same wavelength. I know other managers haven't also found the key to Palmer's undoubted talent. However the fool I am I'd be tempted to get him on sometime tonight especially if we end up chasing the game.
    Yes, probably clutching at straws but hope springs eternal.

    The closest Palmer came to being consistent for me was the short time he partnered Afobe.

    So have we in the 5 games I've seen so far this season...
    I think Palmer is the best option we have to get the best option out of Wells. The problem is they both seem a little lazy and confidence players, so getting them to click often enough is just not happening.

    Presume Vyner will play in a back 3 to combat the way Birmingham play.

    Why does Bakinson start over HNM then?
    Gary Owers also said on RB, he wasn’t injured the whole period earlier this season but was dropped.
