Saint_clark Posted 14 September, 2011 Share Posted 14 September, 2011 Let's tear them...to pieces? Richardson back in if fit I would hope, with Cork back in midfield and Morgan dropping out. Everyone else staying the same. I don't actually rate Birmingham that highly, so going for a 2-0 win with Saints not needing to get out of second gear and Birmingham chasing shadows due to a busy week for them.

a1ex2001 Posted 14 September, 2011 Share Posted 14 September, 2011 Going to be a tough game I'm sure but I'd like to think we can turn them over at home going for a 1-0 win. Hopefully Richardson will be back and the defence with an extra weeks training together and a game in the dutch lads legs will be more together.

Windmill Arm 2 Posted 14 September, 2011 Share Posted 14 September, 2011 Hoping for a close victory, but in reality I can see our first home defeat with this game, we are a bit leaky at the back and Brum could be one of our toughest games yet. Hopefully Cork will return to midfield and Richardson will slot back in. COYR ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli Posted 14 September, 2011 Share Posted 14 September, 2011 Each home win brings additional pressure to keep the record going. Who would you want to lose that record to? A biggish ex EPL team like Birmingham or a Doncaster type side. Personally I think we can keep going for now. The confidence is there, as is the fitness, as is the skill. Just not quite sure who it is that will shine from week to week. Last week it was Guly and Lambert. Other days it could be any from Lallana, Davis, Scheiderlin, Cork, Hammond, Fonte, Connolly. We really do have a good team. Assuming the back four are over their injuries, I will go for 3-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirleysfc Posted 14 September, 2011 Share Posted 14 September, 2011 I think this will be a close one, the sort of match I don't want to get my hopes up over. Having said that we have shown this season we have the ability to create and score at will, an early goal in this game could be crucial. Another 3-2 please. COYR!

doddisalegend Posted 14 September, 2011 Share Posted 14 September, 2011 Brum have started slow (no surprise) but they just hammered Millwall so I don't think they'll be a push over. Mind you at home I fancy us to win. I'd like to see Martin in for Hayfield and Richardson/Butterfield at rightback rather than cork other than that same team as last week (and hope fox has been working on his denfesive duties in trainning). Until Our back four is sorted and settled we are going to leak a few at the back luckily we have the ability to score plenty so I wouldn't be surprised at another 3-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West End Saint Posted 14 September, 2011 Share Posted 14 September, 2011 Lets hope Cork starts in midfield & Richardson & Harding are back in the team am I right in thinking Brum play in Europe Thursday I hope so we have an extra day to get everyone back fit I hope they have a tough game & we are fresh with everybody back fit. No doubt it will be a tough game but we have the players to cause any team problems we look good going forward we have great confidence & belief even when we go behind I back the boys to keep the run going 3 1 to the Mighty Saints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100%Red&White Posted 14 September, 2011 Share Posted 14 September, 2011 Fingers crossed they'll be a bit jaded after all the excitement of European football. Their fans certainly haven't shown much enthusiasm for the trip, their initial 1000 tickets are still on general sale - that may change if they get a good result tomorrow night. But I'm still feeling confident every game we go into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint 76er Posted 14 September, 2011 Share Posted 14 September, 2011 Brum have the one thing that may worry us at the present time ... two quick and skillful wingers in Burke and Beausejour. Sounds like they carved up Millwall last week and supplied crosses for Wood to nab a hat trick. We really need to tighten up at full back on both flanks and get those guys defending deep and close tracking their winger. The above pair could do some damage otherwise.

We really need to tighten up at full back on both flanks and get those guys defending deep and close tracking their winger. The above pair could do some damage otherwise. Opening day of the season, I thought Richardson (against Gradel) and Harding (against Snodgrass) were absolutely superb, and barely gave them anything. Hopefully Richardon will be back, jury is still out on how good defensively Fox is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may well score more goals than they do, as we did against Forest, but I don't think a tightening up of our flank defending would go astray against dangerous opponents.

I wouldn't put to much store in Nigels assement of our players fitness I think he likes to be misleading to confuse other teams when Adam was injuried last season he kept saying he was near recovery.

JRM Posted 15 September, 2011 Share Posted 15 September, 2011 the game is definitely on itv4 so will have a good watch of that tonight, hopefully some of their key players pick up knocks http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14832918.stm and we can benefit from their tiredness on sunday i'm going with 2-1 home win Braga are 8-5 to win which is tempting odds considering they were finalists last year.
