Royal Lady According to EP Tabb and Armstrong should be fit to play, but Little and NHunt are out. I'd stick with Harding to begin with I think, as I thought he did well on Monday night, but maybe sub him if the game gets a little too physical .


I don't think Harding's done enough wrong to be dropped, and I wouldn't want to risk changing much with our rather fragile form at the moment.

I'd prefer Armstrong to him most days of the week, but I agree now is not the time. Armstrong would be on the bench for me for sure though. Tabb I'd bring straight in though.

We didn't really look a lot like scoring with Cisse on the pitch, although we looked ak defensively. I'd rather we were keeping the ball and causing Brum problems than being a little more solid at the back. I think if we hand them the initiative like we could well do with Cisse playing we'll get turned over by a little bit of quality we can't respond to.

Hmmm - shame the emotive and inflammatory headline doesn't actually match the content of the story!

Agreed. Normal fare from any team going into a game.

2 world wars, 1 world cup
1) I still think Doobs is too slow to be central defence and we'll get ripped apart...

I agree with everything you say apart from this. Take a look at Birmingham's strike force.

I'd play Harding on the left wing, my frustration with Hunt has tipped over. Armers in at left back. Karacan and Tabb in midfield, although I would have moved Tabb to the left and kept Harding at left back if Bowyer was playing, with Cisse in midfield.

The Karacan backlash has started already! Well, I guess it's probably his turn...

:shock: Kebe????

3 assists in the last two matches from the left wing and you want to play someone else there?

----------------Hahnemann----------------
Rosenior---Bikey---Duberry---Armstrong
Doyle----Matejovsky----Karacan----Kebe
-------------Kitson-------Long-------------

Kebe on the left as he prefers it, and I think Doyle on the right as he's simply more potent than Little, and we HAVE to score.

As much as Harding has done well, Armstrong is better, so should come back in.

Matejovsky I'm certainly unsure about, but Karacan must be in. Marek changed the game on Monday, while Cissé had a shocker. So perhaps Tabb. But because we have to attack, I'd go with Marek.

Subs: Federici, Pearce, S.Hunt, Little, Tabb

USA
Rosy

JT
21 Kara Gold
Kebe

I hope they have just been watching Barcelona on TV and thinking "we could do that".

Its quite amazing that LONG is now on everyone's teamsheet to start the game.

Thats a real rarity :roll:

For me.

USA

Rosy
Doobs
Bikey
Armstrong

Kebe
Shunt
Blakey

Doyle

Long
Kitson

Subs
Karacan
Tabb
Marek
Cisse
Feds.

I would start with 3 forwards

Not much point having any defenders on the bench in there as we all know only a win will suffice

So what happens when we're 1-0 up and Bikey gets injured?

Would love it to be:

GK - Federici
DR - Rosenior
DL - Harding
DC - Bikey
DC - Pearce
MR - Kebe
ML - Tabb
MC - Matejovsky
MC - Cisse
ST - Doyle
ST - Long

But it's likely to be unchanged from Norwich if you go by Coppell's tactics.
