We can win this one and should have won both games against this former Premier team last season. No silly mistakes and at the jugular from the off getting the supporters behind us...2 nil the Swans | | | |

Their midfield is very strong . They have a lot of strength in depth but making 10 changes last nlght played more into Brums hands.The goal by Hamer for S.U was world class. Anyone who hasnt seen it should go on you tube and have a look Very few players could have scored that.
Brum play very aggressive " in your face " football at all times.
They then use their squad strength to make the max number of changes to ensure the energy levels dont drop. They are very organised and every player knows their job to the letter.
Selles the S.U manager looked like a rabbit in the headlights at times as wave after wave of Brum attacks swept forward.
S.U were hanging on grimly and things got quite fiesty .
I dont think there is much love lost between S.U and Brum on last nights showing.
S.U are prone to errors at the back conceding after a mistake by the full back last night. .We will have to match their workrate and our defence has to be watertight .Everyone will have to be on their A game as I fear a possible backlash 2 defeats in a row
They will be hurting and looking to put things right. | | | |

Against Middlesbrough our defence of the low corners or corners whip into the front post area was poor , for me once the ball has left the corner takers foot all eyes should be on the ball while keeping track of the player you are marking to ensure you get your challenge in first be it your foot or head and NOT be with your back to the ball trying to grab and out muscle the taller attacker, for me that should be a penalty all day long but lots of defending teams get away with it.
I hope that gets rectified on Saturday, the defending bit not the awarding of a penalty. | | | |

It’s a shocking state of affairs which people are actually making excuses for.
This lays right at the feet of the CEO., |  |

They are a very strong team with a massive depth of talent in the squad. They should be, dare I say, invincible in this league.
However, I get the feeling that the new manager doesn't really know what he is doing and is not the team player that Wilder was. Their achilles heel is the defence which does not have the excellence of their midfield forwar. If we press them hard and high they will muck up. Cooper is a great goalkeeper unfortunately behind them.
They will be really up for it after the shameful display against the Wurzels so we have to be really up for it too. Reports are of a 15000 crowd so if we get behind them it will boost them. Franco and Galbraith are the men who, between them, need to run the game.
I can't predict a score as I can see a win, a loss and a draw. Very tough one to call. Our achilles heal will be the lack of a proficient striker. Unless Vip does a "Pintado against Forest" sort of game of course.

Can't see anything better than that mate.
I'd play Wales too as he is the only striker we have that hasn't proven that they're not much cop. | | | |
