It's been a long day and perhaps I've missed something but how do you work that out??

By reading some posts it looks like I was nearly correct!!! When's this lad's luck going to change?? Listened to the first half on the radio .. sounded dire after a decent start. Steve Froggatt on 5 live defending our style of play in the early part of the game, saying we compete very well etc. then decided to change his mind about us in the half time analysis. I didn't listen to the second half and watched it instead (on teletext!!) in an effort to change our luck a bit. God to see emo on the scoresheet ... and by all accounts we could have won it too!! Roll on Brum and the Robbie Savage show!!

Just read James No. 7 post on 'football musings' defending us. Here Here mate ... well said!!! Can you imagine the media reaction if Robbie Savage or Andy Todd booted the ball at a kid in the crowd??? http://footballmusings.blogspot.com/2005/0...a-thuggery.html

Hard to say what way this one's going to go ... although i don't think there's any reson to believe the baggies will score any more than one goal against our defence... Sky have went for a 2 - 0 win for the baggies http://skysports.planetfootball.com/Article.asp?id=272619 I'm being positive and going for a 1 - 0 win for us ... Steven Reid on the scoresheet, with another good yet goalless performance from Steadinho (who I think may bust into tears after the next great save or intervention from the woodwork thwarting him!!) Meanwhile, Bryan Robson has hinted he may drop the jaded Gera ... mind games me thinks!! http://icbirmingham.icnetwork.co.uk/birmin...-name_page.html C'mon Rovers

This will be a sterner home test than either Southampton or Palace ... Pearce has got City playing some good stuff ... carving out a lot of chances and conceeding very few. Here's hoping our well drilled defence can maintain it's high standards, with no lapses in concentration ... AND here's hoping MGP passes his fitness test! Rovers to win 1 - 0 Steadinho (for the love of God ... please!!!
