Birmingham - Away, Sat 2nd Jan

[chaddyrovers]

Crooke and Sharpe both saying Douglas at right back. 

Delighted that Travis and Davenport are starting

[AdamRochina]

...he's lost his damn mind 

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

Good to see Travis back and Davenport getting a game. 

[BigBar]

Trav is the man! Weather it's been managed the right way only time will tell but happy to see him back.

[USABlue]

An observation on Armstrong, maybe I am reading more into it than what is really was.

We have all noticed.Arma's.reluctance.to pass.  He has purposely overlooked Gally and perhaps even more often Brereton.  Even in biildnups I have witnessed him clearly ignore Ben when the pass was on.

Now,nhaving witnessed this frequently I found it interesting that when Dack first returned.comimg on as sub he passed to him wheever he had the chance, is there something to that?  Has he issues with Gally.and Big Ben?  Anyone else notice this.

[superniko]

I thought it was a typo from a previous game. Has Travis played for the u23s or anything? Not even had a run from the bench. Really hope he is 100% here as the FA cup seems more logical. 
Back 4 of Douglas, Johnson, Lenihan and Bell. Gallagher back in the first 11. I just give up.

Douglas at RB, Johnson at CB? We're fooked!

Why wouldn’t you play Trav there who used to be a full back in the reserves. Douglas shouldn’t be anywhere near the team get the lad sent back to Leeds. Absolutely shite.

[Miker]

That team looks comically unbalanced! I guess it's the best we can muster right now. 

Good to see Trav back... I must have missed the news about him because I wasn't expecting him back and in the starting 11.

[neophox]

Trybull or Davenport would do a great job at right back. Putting Douglas there seems weird. Clueless Mowbray again. 

[chaddyrovers]

Would have gone with Pike at right back not Douglas

Douglas can't even play his preferred position🤣

Davenport is left-footed isn't he? And why would Trybull be good there?

[Doug]

Travis is back which is excellent news if he's 100% fit, his game does not lend itself to playing when protecting an injury. 

Nice to see Davenport given a chance.

Douglas at RB will be interesting / worrying, for a brief moment I thought he may start Buckley there.

Maybe hes not fully fit after his injury last time.. Think he should start.

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

Because Trybull can defend. 

[AdamRochina]

Fully expect Travis to breakdown today and be out for longer.   No where near ready for first team football. Needed an under 23s game before a few sub appearances I think.  Rushed back to soon 

[Rogerb]

What else do we expect perfect opportunity for square pegs. I haven't any idea of the formation with that selection 4-4-2 4-2-4? 4-4-1-1

[OldEwoodBlue]

Good to see hes dropped Rothwell.

Should get a lot more effort from Trav and Davenport.

Douglas can't.

That'll be a revelation in our defence. It'll never work.

Davenport is left footed
