Birmingham City Vs Brighton & Hove Albion ****Official Match Thread****

[Sussex Nomad]

Were loose (someone had to get it in).

 

[StonehamPark]

Go Seagulls!

 

[chaileyjem]

Can Wilson play 90 minutes?

Well. He did against Reading only a few weeks ago. And he played 78 against MK Dons.
He's played 75+ mins for us 7 times this season.

 

[T soprano]

Probably only played for about 10 minutes in each of those seven 75 mins

Sorry if this has been asked, anyone know if there will be any live streaming for tonight's game?

 

[SeagullofMalaysia]

And the dangerous Jon Toral is injured

 

[Pevenseagull]

At Falmer the Brim full backs didn't seem up to much. March in particular gave his opposite number a torrid time. More of the same tonight and I reckon we'll have this one.

 

[Nottseagull]

Blues are a massive club.

They've never won the League Championship or FA Cup, gates struggle to reach 20,000 and their ground capacity is barely 30,000. What makes them 'massive'?

 

[OzMike]

Off to bed, keeping fingers crossed.

My mate is a Blues fan and he's constantly banging on about them being one of if not the biggest club in the Championship. He said they average over 3,000 away from home this season and when in the PL tickets were like gold dust, sold out every week home and away. Fan protest against the crooked regime is why home audiences are so low but when St Andrews is rocking there's no more intimidating crowd in the land.

Not sure about this one. The players put in huge shift on Saturday, it was like cup final, but can they do it again just a couple of days later? It will need a massive mental effort to raise themselves again, not to mention the physical scars. 1-1.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

I'm going for a MASSIVE 3-1 tonight! either way..

Sitting on the fence again

 

[LlcoolJ]

Not sure if I have a bad feeling about this or I just feel bad because I'm still recovering from the MASSIVE bender I went on after Saturday's game.

2-1 Albion.

 

[TSB]

I'm expecting a cagey affair, with both sides trying to play on the counter.

After his horror afternoon at the Amex against Solly, I look forward to Knocky vs Grounds.

 

[Boy Blue]

I'm looking forward to tonight's game till I see Sidwell's name appear.

Nice work there - it was almost a cartoon

 

[Mancgull]

Just arrived in Brum. Forgot what a shit area it is around the ground. Parked up and in a pub called Bainsey's Bar. If you can avoid it I would. No colours so think I am fairly safe. A draw today I reckon which will be of no use to either side.

 

[Mellotron]

Well. He did against Reading only a few weeks ago. And he played 78 against MK Dons.
He's played 75+ mins for us 7 times this season.

I think he means "without looking utterly shattered", as Wilson again looked very leggy after about 10-15 minutes after Burnley. He was blasted by Kayal for not tracking his runner, and it was clear from the stands once again that something is sadly not quite right with talented young James.

As others have said, they're at home and need a win. They cannot afford to be cagey and their fans will be furious at them and get on their back very quickly if they start cautiously. I hope this proves to be the case,
