Team for Birmingham on Sunday

[Handsome Man]

And the Matejovsky who is head and shoulders above anyone else in the squad when it comes to passing and his creative vision?

Except the players he passes to don't actually exist in the real world of Championship football, and sometimes the beastly opposition tackle him and it is all a bit tought for the poor lad.

I presume by creative vision you mean he does the flower arrangement in the Madejski canteen or something?

[who are ya?]

Yes, that's obviously what I meant

[Dr Hfuhruhurr]

We're not playing one of the worst teams in the league now, we're playing a team who want to and think they can get promoted.
We need reliable souls.
Marek isnt one of them.

[Maguire]

'greed

Marek can't tackle to save his life. Great on the ball, dreadful off it. If Norwich City players can walk round him then i'm sure Birmingham City players can too.

Bookings fitted as standard.

Perfect, this is what I want and what will happen. Save Marek for the last 20 if we are even or losing. His vision and passing works better against tired opposition.

[rhroyal]

Coppell never changes a winning team. On this occasion he's right to stick with that. Just one issue for me. Was Matejovsky part of the winning team or was Cisse? I'd say Marek. We looked a lot more dangerous after he came on. I'd like to see him start.

[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 .

[cmonurz]

Well, this is it. One game, last chance to seal automatic promotion. So let's pick our best players, and hope they perform - with one exception.

Federici

Armstrong
Bikey
Pearce
Rosenior

Cisse
Karacan
Kebe

Doyle
Kitson

Subs:
Hahnemann
Duberry
Matejovsky
N Hunt
Long

Kitson was very poor Monday night lack of effort and determination needs to make up his mind if he's a striker or midfield player , Shane Long was the outstanding player on the park

[Millsy]

I'll level with you all.

I've absolutely no f**king idea who should play on Sunday or the playoffs.

It seems every player has been both awful and fantastic at times.

I just haven't a clue.

And I feel so sorry for Coppell to have to make this choice.

Couple of thoughts only

1) I still think Doobs is too slow to be central defence and we'll get ripped apart... but then maybe his experience is worthwhile

2) USA has to start

3) Much as I love Kitson he's got to be a supersub option

4) Much as I've never rated Long the chap has to start

5) Is Nunt still injured?

6) Kebe on the left perhaps?

7) Any chance of Doyle playing?

I'm so bloody confused.

Anyone else bamboozled?

[rotherwick_royal]

Marek's possibly my favourite player and the only one in our squad who can make something happen from nothing. But I agree with the majority here, he shouldn't start on Sunday. We need to win the midfield and he's not the man to do it. I hope Tabb is fit, he's been really impressive in centre mid. Thought Cisse was poor against Norwich.

Having said that S.Hunt has not exactly been on form recently, some of his dead ball deliveries have been awful. I'd almost be tempted to put Kebe on the left and Marek on the right - wouldn't be risking losing the midfield having him there but he can put the ball into dangerous positions from there.
