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

Have to agree,we have two centre halves on the bench and only one on the pitch......any excuse not to start youth.

Dias shouldn’t really be playing but Walker needs the fitness. Also recently Stones has been playing Cb but in game he acts like a rb so walker there could just be Pep seeing how he’d do there

I'm surprised at the back, Cancelo is probably due a rest which Walker could have covered.

Dias seems to play every game, pairing the young lads together with Walker at RB to help them would seem an obvious move and KBD, wouldn't have him even on the bench today.

But what do I know.

Just imagine Walker having a brain fart being at fault as a CD for Brum to score and they beat us 1-0. Will pep still be the master tactician then?

May as well use T-HB as a ball boy: /

Good side to win the game. Hopefully, we can get enough in front to see some of the youngsters.

Hes injured

Walker has been both exceptional and clumsy this season. I wonder if playing him alongside Dias at CB today is to allow Dias to work his magic on him. A high five from Rúben and you are running through brick walls for a clean sheet. Might keep his concentration higher.

That’s bollocks though isn’t it. Nobody would be moaning and saying we were too weak if Harwood-Bellis was playing alongside Dias.

They fucking would if we weren't 3 nil up after 30 minutes. This thread and the matchday thread are verging on self-parody nowadays.

Injured

Yeah it's his like, 5th injury this season. Not a fantastic purchase.
