I think he will be forced to play 4,5,1

-----------------Myhill
Carr-----Davies---Caldwell---Ridgewell
-----------Fahey-----Mutch
Burke----------Gomis--------Beausajour
-----------------Rooney

Maybe Dann will start in defence instead of Caldwell or Davies.

I do think he would bring on Wood and maybe Redmond after 60-70 mins depending how we do.

I am going for a 1-1 draw.

The KiD

its just so unfortunate that we aint got many options up front with three un- fit strikers.
If Jerome is off then I just wish Bolton would stump up the cash fast or move on. Then perhaps we could get in a striker who is fit to play.
Beau could def do a job just behind the front man if he opts not to go two up front.
This is a very winable game (they were beaten by bury midweek) and we do need to start getting some points on the board.
The team set up may well not be CH number 1 option due to injury's unlike Mcjudas who loved the one up top option even at home.
Whatever the formation lets back the lads all the way.

He'll play the same team he played against Derby, I think being at home we can pick up all 3 points but it'll be a hard game considering we have no strikers, Rooney for me isn't good enough at this level, great squad player though.

If the Gunners have opened talks to sign him, as the gossip fraternity suggest, Maybe Dann will not play.

Either way, it will be an interesting game, which we need to win IMO...

Looks like Ridgewell will be on his way out too, my friend bumped into him at a gym and Ridgewell turned around and said he isn't happy and is looking for a move away from Birmingham.

Boaz
Carr Davies Caldwell Ridgewell.
Burke Gomis Mutch Beau.
Wood Rooney.
Or Fahey for Wood if Hughton goes one up front. I think we'll see Spector at some stage.
I won't be up for the game tomorrow but I fully expect to hear a loud and passionate St Andrews on any reports on radio and Sky Sports.
I will be bringing my daughter up for the Euro game next two weeks and she is already very excited and counting sleeps. It's her first game bless.

Jaypee. Is your friend ED?
He likes hanging around gym changing rooms.
Only joshing ED.

442 for me.I think he'll play Wood and Rooney.The club have already said that Carr and Ridge are not being sold.He should stop moaning and get on with the job.

No it isn't Ed but they have the same intrest!
I was surprised Ridgewell said that to a fan though, I mean if I was Ridgewell I'd lie and say I love the club but if he was ever sold then he can moan about us as much as he wants.
If you want to see Ridgewell's misses, she is always in TGI Fridays in Sutton, what a fox!

Important game,still bedding in,local derby also so don't think much to be decided.
Both lost first game so pride at stake!

Points in the bank are important... must win game

This is a very important game, first home game and one that if we do not do well can affect confidence.

We should be able to tell after the game by the reactions and commitment of Carr and Ridgewell if they are commited to the cause.

We have a bare thin side, and whats needed most is to see players signed.

We are linked with Turner but we have to sell Dann before we can buy.

The KiD

How many times do we have to sell before we can buy???

You can bet your cotton socks, Dann will be replaced with another free agent...

Anthony Gardner apprently. Only the deal has hit a problem with the lengh of his contract. He wants two years we are only offering one. Tell him to stick it if he won't sign a one year deal. He's useless anyway.
It just makes me sick the prices we are selling for. News is that Cov will get a 10% sell on fee for Dann and that because Danns leaving without handing in a transfer request we have to pay him a loyalty bonus of around 600k. What a mess. Can't blame the Chinese for this though. He signed under Sulli and Gold.

Anyway onto today's game. I can't wait. Never went Derby last week so it's the first football day since last season. It's funny to see people talking about our second game of the season as must win. I have to agree though. Losing today would knock a lot of confidence out of even the most optimistic supporter. We need to be winning games like this. I think it will end in a 1-1 draw. Rooney with an early goal the Cov after HT.

I gotta support Cov, me best mate is from there. Nothing to do with our former rivalry. I say former because......

Igotta support Ful, me best mate is from nowhere near there. Nothing to do with our former rivalry because......
Actually because I just don't like villa.
