Birmingham - Away, Sat 2nd Jan

[Ewood Ace]

The midfield and front 4 if played in their best positions look good enough, the back 4 looks like a recipe for disaster. Expecting plenty of goals at both ends today.

That's Tony's genius. He'll be like Cafu at RB. 

Bela will rip him for pace and take him to the byline.

davenport has played full back for burton albion,he`s two footed,football wise as iv`e observed

Fair enough. Thought he was CM for Burton and predominantly left-footed. 

[Roverthechimp]

Is this the good old 1-2-3-4 formation?? 🤣

Lenihan

Bell Douglas

Trav Dav Johnson

Elliot Gally Arma Brereton

Davenport is left footed

I thought that. 

[Blue blood]

Douglas at right back. What could possibly go wrong there. 

Also if Gally is right wing then that must make the most terrifying right hand side of the pitch I have seen ever. Poor Elliott will have a lot of work to cover 3 players. 

I sincerely hope Travis isn't another Williams situation. Although tjr manager is that stupid... 

[G Somerset Rover]

If Travis gets injured today then Mowbray wants firing on the spot!

[Paul Mani]

Looks like 4231 to me...

Douglas Lenihan Johnson Bell

         Travis Davenport

Gallagher Elliott Brereton

            Armstrong 

[simongarnerisgod]

i bet the players are having a right laugh between themselves at mowbray,he`s definately reaching a new low in the desperation stakes

Good to see Travis back and Davenport getting a game. 

Shades of a desperate man, is Trav really ready to start? or is he being set up for failure?

Cafu right now maybe after a heavy session in Rio de Janiero after consuming vast amounts of nose beers at New Year's and suffering jet lag.

Tony doesn't do formations.

Dear Tony.  Rearrange this well known phrase or saying

”at straws clutching”

He might play the 1995 Premier League winning side. That would be an improvement

Fixed it for you.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

That back 4 😱

If Birmingham don't score today they may as well give up

😂😂 Stir Crazy would be a better watch I'm thinking, fingers crossed the lads do the biz today I'm going 3-1 win Rovers

Yeah, with Dack to come on in the ‘10’ position...potentially for Gally with Elliott moving out wide.

Quick one...why start Trav and not Dack?

[den]

Is that the worst back 4 we’ve ever fielded?

I reckon it’s the weakest I’ve ever seen.

Could be, if Trav breaks down Mowbray will have his judgement questioned. Williams is out for 3 months because Mowbray rushed him back.

cos tony is desperate and thinks travis after 3 months out will give a bit of bite to midfield,in reality he`ll either get sent off or injured again,think trybull will go back to norwich in january,mowbray definately does`nt like him,when you`re getting replaced by a player who has`nt kicked a ball in months you know you`re time is up
