Birmingham City V Sheffield Wednesday (Live on Sky)

[Liam_SWFC]

Today we are the chosen evening kick off for our trip to Birmingham, and after back to back home wins seeing us climb up to 9th we go into this with plenty of confidence. Be a tricky game though as Gary Rowett has been getting the best out of a fairly average squad of players for a while now, and they currently sit in 5th place. As for us after coming from behind to win in our last two games we've shown we have some fight and character to go alongside the quality, hopefully Carlos can get it right from the start here, would be pleased with a point but don't see why we can't get all 3. Sam Hutchinson will miss out through suspension for this so expect the fit again Glenn Loovens to partner Tom Lees.

Why am I being subjected to this on my tv?

 

[MJA]

Wow. 75 minutes of utter dross followed by 15 minutes of frantic football and Brum nicking it right at the end after Wednesday smashed the bar

 

[JJH]

Lol

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Sickening.

 

[Nuttall]

Wank, too often this season we haven't taken chances and it's cost us.

 

[JonBCFC]

Sickening.

At least u wasn't 2-0 up!

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

Lol. Annoying isnt it.

Was just saying how happy I was with a point after a fairly mediocre first half show, as The Juke pops up with his first goal since scoring against us for Bolton on the famous Great Escape day!!!

We've had them go against us so many times, and our record against Sheff Wed is pretty terrible (I'd imagine) so all in all a fantastic result.

I'm dreading playing you tbf. Going to be a very tough game.

Needless penalty changed game, thought we played well for 25 mins and should really have been in front at half time. Second half thought we were poor, not sure if that was us being poor or down to the changes they made. Think Rowett is doing a good job, as I still don't really rate Brum, but they keep getting results.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

First 20 minutes we were excellent and should have been at least 1-0 up, had we taken one of those it's a different game, missing chances is really costing us at the minute. From then on it was an even game and we were quite poor, can't understand Carlos' idea of playing Abdi and hooking him after 60 minutes every week, he's completely wasted out there needs to be played more central. Thought Hooper should have been on earlier to be honest and I feel sorry for Will Buckley only getting 5 minutes every week. Wallace should have come off for him 25 minutes before that, would like to see Buckley given a start against Forest. Once you get your noses infront with 15 to play you should be coming away with at least a point, no arguments with the penalty Westwood didn't need to come and he knew it. Nuhiu hits the bar in stoppage time and while we're still shocked switch off and leave their biggest aerial threat unmarked in the box. We need to find some way to win away games as at the minute it's going to stop us getting anywhere near the top 6. Must bounce back next weekend against Forest.

 

[El Guapo]

I thought we deservedly won although it could really have gone either way at the end, the fine margins in football to win right at the death straight after Nuhiu headed against the bar.

SW look a different side to last season, I expected a lot more from them with the players they’ve got. Forestieri must had been rattled after Morrison put a word in his ear, looked completely anonymous and barely touched the ball from then on.
