Match Day Thread Birmingham vs QPR

It is a good call and the easiest game for me to get to……but it’s the day after my birthday and my wife has booked us into a little hotel/restaurant in Monmouthshire. Glad I checked……

 

Bring her along, she’ll love it.

 

Ended up setting off early. Beautiful day up here in the arse end of Brumville.

 

Just checked through sky again & definitely on red button but not sure what channel

 

Mate I have a lot on at moment with work and related stuff. I would love to be coming up there with you. Hopefully I will be sorted in a couple of weeks and Can go to an away game. Have a good one.

 

I think I’m working but may take the day off to catch up with you all.
Last time I was at Cov the sh#ts were throwing bricks at me… it was nothing to do with football.

 

It was to do with your views on the May government if I recall correctly.

 

Got here... gave up on Chiltern line...cancellation and Covid safety reasons
You can park on roads near stadium...ace...

But will they let me in.

 

I’m parked for free too but have zero confidence in my windscreens making it through the match in tact.

 

Johanson and Austin on bench, 2 up front

 

Me too... but other than the car is blue. It has no idea as a Superhoopsa car. So fingers crossed.
I'm in the bar in the stand.where are you

 

Johansen getting a rest. No Chair


3-5-2

 

Will be interesting (or scary) to see how the midfield performs today.

 

Hope that joke was deliberate

 

Just noticed Dozzell is not around either.
He should be available and rested.


Wonder if Chair can go to AFCON with a foot injury

 

Of course...I'm funny







No it wasn't.. lol

 

I think we can afford to play with different midfielders being used and the loss of Chair, so long as we adjust the tactics to actually suit the players. There's no point in trying to fit square pegs in round holes.

So, I would like to see Johanssen and either Field, Amos, Ball or Dozzell (if available) hold the midfield as a pair, with Johanssen occasionally pushing forward when there's space. And with a central attacking kind of midfielder, perhaps in the form of Dozzell/Thomas.

And then an attacking pair in the form of Gray and Willock?

This is with four at the back, of course.

For a change, I'd like to see us dominate midfield!

Oh, and a sprinkling of hurrying the **** up instead of passing it in an 8 pointed star shape around the pitch for 2 minutes to allow Birimingham's defense to get into shape.

 

We will still let him go just like we did with Dykes and Scotland. Ridiculous, bound to aggravate it if he plays and will probably be ruled out for the rest of the season. When will we learn ?
