Yeah he has, he definitely was against Leeds and Liverpool

Fosu-Mensah rejected a new contract and will probably be looking to sort a permanent deal away as he'll be available on a free.

Kipre isn't even amongst the subs tonight, I would say its a fair bet someone has a deal lined up for him.

Very interesting...... Any guesses who we're interested in? Kipre? Just seems to be an unused sub all the time.

Some obvious positives and a welcome 3 points of course. I do however think that it was largely down to how utterly terrible brum were, worst I've seen all season and if you fail to score against that patched up defence you really are in trouble! It'll be interesting to see what a difference a fully fit Travis can make. Really tough couple of games following the cup match if it even goes ahead.

I would have thought so. Ayala notoriously gets injured when its cold outside.

Pike and Carter have travelled apparently...

They're 2 different websites/journalists that you've posted...

Its gonna be an absolute shit shower this if injury news is bad Just play 2 at the back and annihilate them

Yes but who the hell else could have played there

He's not match fit, at all. However, the reserves don't play again till 25th Jan, he has no other way of getting match fit than these 30 min sub appearances.

Buckley is garbage, but no point putting Nyambe in a wheelchair trying to keep him playing with a hammy. Which was always, always, always bound to happen.

Course I do yep. Not to visit the soulless grounds, or see so called superstar players. Just to survive.

Sadly that's how it is. I largely despise the prem, unfortunately for financial reasons its where we need to be even if its just for a season.

Nyambe came off with a hammy apparently. We really do need some kind of covid circuit breaker, even better cancel the season.

At the point we'd made 5 subs i think Huddersfield were still 1 up having made none at all, they were also still bossing the game. Another speculative (aka greedy) Armstrong shot fell very kindly for Sam who tbf, from the bench does more than when he starts games. I cannot even for the life of me fathom out his subs or what he had in his head, the shit shower that followed suggesting the players felt the same. Seemed like a desperate yet pathetic roll of a dice from a man feeling the pressure.

Season can still be saved if action is taken NOW. Wtf were them subs tonight. Look at the state of the teams above us now too. Teams who would love the resources TM has had. Cap in hand to Billic now, pay him whatever he wants. Although tbh I think the season will be canned for at least a few weeks after tomorrow's games anyway if not more....

Not a classic but seen worse halves this season! Think Ben has made a difference both going forward and covering back, definitely eases the workload of the left back. Armo definitely should have scored, got a feeling he will do second half too. Imagine we'll see a few changes at 60 mins including Dacky. Bit nervous though about that, dirty team this lot so far.....

Looking at Jose Morais to replace him? They really are becoming a circus of a club.

I don't even know why we're bothering with any cups this season. Wtf is the point getting to a cup final with no fans there? Let's be honest its very ambitious at this point to think any will be able to attend.

We played this exact fixture at pretty much the exact time last year didn't we, and tbh it seems like one of the last times I went to a game, completely fed up of this shite now! I wouldn't be at all surprised if its the exact same result either. They have a good record at home and have won the last 4 on the trot now. Hopefully more game time for Dack and Brereton as we edge closer to Travis returning as well. I haven't completely wrote the season off yet, mainly based on the returning players and their potential impact, we need a good run and fast though.

Thats just weird. Villa and Palace is hardly a worldie game 🤣

Was gonna say, both Dack and Mowbray basically said he was gonna be on the bench 🤣

If big Ben plays we absolutely pan this lot on boxing day, even without its hard to see past an easy win. There's gonna be a buzz about the dressing room knowing our main man has signed a deal, never underestimate how influential Mr Dack is folks. 3 or 5 nil depending on team availability

Looks like he may be in contention on boxing day, this is turning into a good news day 😎
