Keep Believing

Premier League Birmingham
comment on the article

You can do it sunday lads, get down to St.Andrews and cheer the blues on.

Reading are going to draw and Pompey will beat Fulham, so if Birmingham can get 3 points it could be a fairytale ending.

I will be rooting for you anyway.

Good luck, Fingers crossed!

Everton fan in peace here.

You will stay up this Sunday. You have too much about you to go down. Methinks it'll be Reading and Fulham who take the drop as you will beat Blackburn and Reading and Fulham won't win. Even though Reading are playing Derby, they look like a team whose confidence is shot to pieces. Fulham are playing Pompey who have a rather important date next week but it's a Fratton Park and Portsmouth rarely lose there. Blackburn have nothing to play for realistically as Villa will get sixth so you're still in there.

Having said that, if you were to go down, you would come straight back up. Jimmy McFadden - should never have let him go - and Forsell would run riot in the Championship next season.

ermJust how do you work that out???? One point behind Villa who are away to WHU. Anything less than a win & that let's in Rovers providing we win. So everthing to play for.
Brum 1-2 Rovers
It'd be good if Dunny scored the winner to send you down but i'll settle for 3 points. See you in a couple of years.ok

I have belief. I've learned over the years that if you don't have belief in your own side, you end up paying for it. I'm determined to keep on believing until that final whistle.

Agree with Pebbleok

Fulham and Reading are where we was a few games back, with the ball in our court!

We are where Bolton and Fulham was, we know we look down, we must just perform and let fate deal with the other results!

This means that Fulham and Reading are under the most Pressure! And that could be vital!

I think McLeish needs to throw his book out of the window! And try something different! otherwise its the same results Draw or Loss!

De Ridder would have been great but would not dare use him last game as he wont give 100%

Kapo is good but i dont think he has the fight!

Nafti and Muamba cant pass together and that costs us, having Nafti in centre his lack of confidence will rub on Muamba and i can see costlty mistakes!

Would not mess with Back four, take the risk in keeping it the same, the same goes for Keeper!

Zarate could be playing his last game, and he always adds that spark and 2/3 games he has played he always looks like changing the game (if he was used for longer) or he indeed changed the game!

McSheffrey although not the best would give 100% more so for the last game! He knows if he puts in a good performance and we Win and stay up fans would forgive him for some of his poor performances!

This game is to big for Jerome! and O'Connor wont be bothered!

So its!

...........Taylor
Kelly..Jaidi..Ridgewell..Murphy
Zarate..Muamba..Larsson..McSheffrey
..........McFadden
..........Forsell

Larsson would give Muamba confidence and if Muamba passes to him he will pick a pass (Nafti would not!) Larsson would also cover for any lack of deffence by McSheffrey!

Zarate would draw players away from Mauamba giving him more time on the ball, he would also run after any balls Muamba gives away! The two of them working as a team could then force opponents to lose the ball more!

Muamba would have creativity on both his right, left and infront Zarate/Larsson/McFadden!

This could work!

But McLeish will use, Kapo Left and Jonty LCM!

i just wish lawro would stop predicting that we're gona stay up... since he did it on match of the day a couple of months back (and every week since then) our form has dropped even further!

i think we can do it, i just hope he hasn't given us the commentator's kiss of death...
