Team vs Birmingham

[GJN1]

If I was in charge I'd sling Murphy in for Skalak and Hemed in for Murray who must be knackered. I'd also sling March in as a No10, enganching the shit out of them.

Rosenior at LB if Bruno is fit.

Murray? Knackered? He's played once in two weeks...

 

[BBassic]

I'd give Akpom a second chance. Definitely would start March in place of Skalak. Have him running rings around their defence for 70 minutes and then bring on Skalak. Or Murphy.

Sidwell
Norwood

Knockert
Murray

Murray needs a rest so Akpom gets one last chance from me. If he's shit again then he's gone from the squad altogether for the rest of the season.

Knocky also needs a rest imo and this is the game to do it.

The squad have just had two weeks off, no one needs a rest, we either want promotion or not. Talk of giving players a rest after the international break is just fanciful, how much do these guys get paid a week. Stop pandering to the players, we need to see this through with our best eleven available.

Dunno. Birmingham expect to make change from their slightly bizarre line-up

See

https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1085284/Preview

Very tempted to start with Tomer Hemed.

Birmingham played the same way in their 0-0 draw with Newcastle; https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1...ionship-2016-2017-Birmingham-Newcastle-United

Look at the aerial stats and Newcastle dispossession stats.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Four wins away from a place in the Premier League, with three home games left, and you're suggesting we should leave out our 19 goal top scorer, and our star winger (responsible for 20 goals to date?).

Great work.

Exactly this. They can have a rest when they've finished the job.

 

[OvingdeanSeagull]

I won't ask for much, I'm happy with any team that sees March finally starting and Akpom not. Please Chris.

All the threads not starting Murray and let him have a break.
He can have a break after this month or maybe sooner once we're mathematically sure of promotion otherwise he has to start

If Akpom starts or Murray doesnt then i will be tearing up my season ticket...

You would rest Knockhaert at home against Brum rather than away at QPR on Friday which seems rather strange. I would replace Akpom with SB if fit if not Hemed, Skalak with Murphy and depending on fitness Rosenior with Bruno.

They've just had 2 weeks off why would they need a rest?

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Murray and Baldock will 100% start if fit. Absolute no brainer.

Harmed at QPR if Murray is genuinely fatigued.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

We have to win the home games, so start the best team if they're fit. Let's not give Huddersfield and Newcastle any psychological advantage ahead of their games on Wednesday.

 

[BensGrandad]

I agree 3 points against Brum, even a 1-0 win is essential. The result will be much more important than the performance.

This.
Get the points on the board. Solly in for Skalak, Hemed in for Chuba, Bruno if fit back in.
If , and it is an if, we get suitably ahead, replace Murray with anyone in the crowd if Baldock is not fit, and replace two others who will play on Friday.

They are quite hard to tear.

 

[SweatyMexican]

I'd start Solly so he can say hello to his old mate Jonathan Grounds.

 

[Pavilionaire]

If we win our home games we go up. Indeed, there's no chance of us getting the jitters if we keep winning at home which is why I fancy we play all the big guns vs. Birmingham.

Akpom has to get benched - we can't **** about any more and we need experienced performers out there. I'd start Hemed because he looks bang up for it. I know him and Murray are slow as a pair but this is Brum not Barca and if we start Solly we'll have a bit of pace up top.
