S25/26 | The Official Match Thread | Birmingham City v Swansea City | 12.30pm, Saturday 20th September | The EFL Championship | St Andrew’s Stadium

[Frankie Burrows Cap]

Hope there’s not too many overreactions if things don’t go our way on Saturday. Confidence should be sky high but it’s one of two games (along with Boro) that I thought would be the toughest in the 1st two blocks of games.

They haven’t started as well as I expected though so need to be positive and take the game to them.

Hopefully any midfield subs can have a positive impact this weekend as Galbraith, Yalcouye and Franco will all have to go again.

1-1 with Idah scoring his first goal off the bench.

Some interesting decisions for Sheehan to be made.

Do we persevere with the Franco / Galbraith partnership. Does Eom offer enough out wide. Did Benson do enough to start. Do we have Idah in as the outlet, does Ronald start?.. will Stemenic be fit, does Key need a rest...

Good problems to have.

Can anyone remember a time where we've had better depth? I'm struggling

Laudrup era, possibly.

I would be tempted to play Benson but still early doors for him.
Any news on Stamenic? If he doesn't make it then Yalcouye in with Sam Parker coming onto the bench.

 

[Andrew - North Hill]

A draw here would be an excellent result, let's not kid ourselves. I'm not saying we're not capable of winning, but it's a tough place to go and they've still got enough residual confidence from last season to make this a very difficult match.

Look to frustrate them to begin with, get to half time 0-0, and let's see where we go from there.
