I liked it how Cooper switched us to a back 4 last night. Will keep the opposition guessing if we can use different formations.

I fully acknowledge that by defending him that he will be at fault for both Birmingham goals on Saturday
Well, 'we'll see on that one.' Cooper's call.
I'm sure when he's got time on the ball, he's very comfortable and not nervous at all. But from when he's been at fault for goals he's looked alike a player whose heart isn't in it.
I felt that a lot of the Portuguese players didn't cope with the high speed nature of the English game.
Tracking back. Getting the tackles in. There's a reason why they left or aren't getting a game now.
Figs is 'ok' until somebody rattles his cage. I guess he's been found out in that regard.
There have been times he's been very good. (He was when he 1st arrived. I was quite impressed by his composure. A Portuguese player who was comfy with the ball at his feet with the added bonus of being able to head and kick it.)
Think it's in his mind. There's some ability there. I doubt he'll survive the oncoming cull.
Did 'ok' vs Huddersfield and Millwall, though.

I appreciate that these facts don’t tell the whole story but what it does illustrate is how they use the ball when in possession.
Does he look nervy at times with the ball at his feet? Absolutely.
Does that mean he is uncomfortable with the ball at his feet? Absolutely not
Probably gonna get slaughtered, but most of his passes were to Joe, scott or Brice…
Not sure why you’d get slaughtered? This isn’t that kind of forum.
You are probably right in where the ball was going but that’s likely to be the case when sitting in the middle of a three and hardly his fault, hence why I said it doesn’t tell the full story.
The point still stands though.

I believe Keith Stroud is the ref on Saturday?

Don’t suppose anyone has a couple of spare tickets for the Brum game?
Ideally 1 adult and 1 under 18.
I know chances are slim but if you don’t ask, you don’t get

Match is on Blues TV
I have just downloaded Blues TV from Google apple, it says it checks your location, then count down shows to match, not sure if this is going to work though....

this is all about 'the 12th man' to be fit and available and radiant ... the Sunburst Sunrise and Sunset Kit, SSS shows up we win warm and simple, I can see it now, ''radiant Nottingham Forest give the blues ... the blues''
RE: Birmingham - Nottingham Forest - Jon Moss - 02-10-2021
Surely we will be unchanged today.
RE: Birmingham - Nottingham Forest - PsychoStanleyStone - 02-10-2021
Birmingham have scored 1 goal in the last 4 games and conceded 9
The last goal Birmingham did score was 4 games ago, a penalty
In the opposition fans comments was something along the lines of 'i wish Bowyer would change formation, he's quite stubborn' persevering with a system that isn't really working
Wonder if SC might mix it up a bit, go for the throat early and bolster things later, hence the 2 nil at HT, 1.3 Forest FT
