Birmingham v Cardiff
Thurs, 11th Apr 2024 | 06:45 | St Andrew’s @ Knighthead park

A tough game as blues currently find themselves in the bottom 3. Cardiff are 11th with an erratic form of WLLWL

We'd love your comments, thoughts, team suggestions, and reaction to the game. Of course, if you're awake there will be in game chat in this topic, which is open to everyone who is registered on the website - you don't have to be an OSC member, but it helps.

Prelims from the gaffer

Hope we really go at them from the off.

We need to get the first goal.

I’d stick with the same line up as Leicester.

 

[BluZ]

We're 23rd. There's only one result that will do now. Honestly I'd look at changing Aiwu, I think he is the weak link at the back. But then he could play well like vs Preston.

Need to keep Siriki Dembélé off the pitch if we're winning or hanging on. He was at fault for giving the ball away and not tracking back on weekend.

 

[Grant]

My feeling is that we will stay 23rd looking at the form of the teams around us at the moment, unless something drastic happens.

 

[BluZ]

I'm still hopeful other results go our way. I'm looking at Plymouth and Huddersfield. They have some tough matches yet. Also Blackburn still have Leeds, Leicester and Coventry. They won't be easy. We can't rely on these and have to perform on the pitch. Nervous times.

But, but they have Eustace

It won’t be quality to watch but at least Rowett will make us hard to beat. If we keep a clean sheet there is always a chance to nick all 3pts.

 

[BluZ]

No changes.

 

[NathanK]

No changes.

Just have a strange feeling there's goals in us today. Blues 3-1

Haha I just saw the same thing. It’s going to irritate me only going to be able to see the first half..

Bright start but need to spread it wide, the centre is very congested. JJ needs to come into it more.

 

[Grant]

No changes.

No Dembele though

 

[Stephen_Merriman]

No Dembele though

He was the weak link at Leicester.

First half pretty much sums our season, control the 2/3 of the pitch and lacking when it comes to the final 1/3. But your always nervous any time Cardiff come forward.

 

[BluZ]

We have the frustrating Bacuna playing today. Aiwu making me nervous. Laird pretty casual at times, looks reluctant to get forward. Ruddy with some great saves again. Still think we can do this, gotta get the first goal though.

Pretty much sums up how I feel. Off to work now so fingers crossed

Post your MOTM after the game.

Neil Etheridge at this stage.

 

[Stephen_Merriman]

This is so bad to watch.

Can I post them all to Siberia?
