Birmingham City (H) - FA Cup R3 | Pre-Match Thread

Not sure on that, I would play him while he is riding high. Hes a confidence player

He didn’t play against West Brom, but it didn’t affect his performance in subsequent games.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see Birmingham make 7/8 changes too. This competition just doesn’t seem important anymore to most clubs. It’s amazing that in the last 25 years it has only been won by 2 clubs outside of the usual suspects.

True dat

Birmingham look a pretty limited outfit from the little Ive seen of them in the last couple of years, their main threat seems to be long balls and set pieces into Jutkiewicz who is a big, physical old school lump of a Dyche/Allardyce style centre forward.
If selected, THB will doubtless pick up a few lumps and bumps but also some good experience of playing this kind of opponent.
But we need to show them due respect, we have come a cropper against teams like this in the not to distant past - Wigan, Middlesbrough, Wigan again....

The Notts Forest fiasco really pissed me off tbh.

IMO the Forest defeat is City's worst performance since moving to the Etihad .

Can I watch this on the iplayer via my Sky box?
I’m guessing not, but it would be handy. The Red Button Chanel seems to be showing Chelsea instead.

Ok, thnx - mine is Sky hd not sky Q and in the past the version of iplayer on here has been slow to update recorded programmes, and I can’t recall ever having seen anything “as live” appearing on there, so I’m a bit doubtful. Fingers crossed you’re right & I’m wrong.
