[Albion] Birmingham City v Brighton And Hove Albion 15.00 KO St Andrews

[DavidinSouthampton]

Those pesky little number tens and inside forwards crammed in the better teams squads are going to LOVE moving our big boys around at the back. Enjoy the feast!

Maybe Mr Potter will have the nous to play a system according to the strengths of the opposition.

 

[B-right-on]

Very impressed by big burn and Locadia!

This. Trossard too.

Propper probably the worst of our players.

Their No 10, Jutkiewicz looks like a handful. 30 yrs old. English. Do a job?

Hope there's not wholesale changes after half time - always disrupts the rhythm of the game.

It's a friendly! Players need to get sharp!

football is fun

Locadia looks liberated. The left line looks good not sure about the right side with Montoya and Duffy. Refreshing to have Trossard/Locadia in support of Murray. Stephens/Potter ok. We’ll take some pastings with this formation but should bag goals for points.

 

[Icy Gull]

I am sure there are some NSCers willing us to fail so that they won’t be proved wrong in their close season negativity

What a dunce he is.

The bit about there not being much of a crowd, as all the workers from the Birmingham car factory are away on holiday, was up there with the stupidest commentary words ever uttered.

yep, incredible stuff

That guy.
Every time I've seen him, every single time, he's looked great. Can't believe he never really played at a higher level.

 

[Spacegull]

Players popping up in unexpected positions... elements of totaalvoetbal.
More ideas going forward. Defensive frailties.
Premwise, Potterball will be interesting. Maybe too interesting

Some of Dunks passing has been concerning.

Sluggish? Quick one two’s around the box what game You watching?

Yes but I also see Brum coming into the game minute by minute. We have played reasonably well but we are playing against a pretty poor and static side. WE should look better than Birmingham, no disrespect to them but they look poor against US atm but are gradually gaining momentum......if we carry on like we did in the first 20 minutes for the second half it will be a very successful workout, if they come back into it.......well work in progress isn't it!
Promising though isn't it at half time.

Yeah but it'd be good to see maybe Ali J, Andone and Alzate played in this strong line up for 20 minutes or so, before changing the entire 11.

 

[zefarelly]

Can maybe also see why Knocky was let go as although he technically gifted enough to get involved in this swift interplay, he may be a little bit too selfish for Potter's liking. Guess we'll never know but there may be something in this theory.

Trossard looks like a team player. knockaert rarely did.

What's interesting is the way Murray is dropping back, so when we counter Trossard is the furthest forwards. Last season having Murray as the first man was a real hindrance in terms of attacking quickly, so this is very astute from Potter.

He's just said that our home kit would clash with the Brighton kit. It's actually quite funny how crap he is!

 

[TSB]

I didn't mean he looked good compared to Birmingham's players. I mean he looks a lot better than many players who helped us to finish 17th in the Premier League.

I fancy Knocky would have looked as good against a team that have Gary Gardner first choice.

How is that as traditionally the car factories and allied businesses closed for 2 weeks when the children broke up from school. The workers are forced to take their holidays then hence this weekend being classed as the busiest travel get away weekend of the year. So he is perfectly correct.

 

[Triggaaar]

Clearly came off the Blues player.

Usually I think I'd be hopeless as a ref, as it looks like such a tough job, but then you see decisions like that and think you couldn't do any worse than them.

Our best player in the championship and one who looked one of our better players last year. Yeah, right.

 

[southstandandy]

No need for a new striker - Murray and Locadia looking good.
