AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Go on then... Prediction: 1-1. IF no signings: Friedel Walker Cuellar Dunne Clark Albrighton Reo-Coker Petrov Downing Bannan Agbonlahor Bench: Marshall, Lichaj, Collins, Hogg, Ireland, Delfouneso, Carew. Last time we played them, we dominated possesion for plenty of periods, if we do the same again, hopefully little more clinical and a stronger defensive performance, we'll come away with a positive result. A draw wouldn't be a disaster but it's a winnable fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanpabloangel18 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Friedel Walker Cuellar Dunne Clark Albrighton Reo-Coker Petrov Downing Bannan Agbonlahor Bench: Marshall, Lichaj, Collins, Hogg, Ireland, Delfouneso, Carew. Not sure we'd have enough going forward in the centre, Bannan goes missing sometimes and Gab always ends up with the ball on the wings. Though we did OK today, Blues are much better in defence than Sheff Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I'm so worried with that defence, hopefully then can work on defending! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Friedel Back four of Walker, Collins/Cuellar, Dunne and Clark Midfield of Albrighton, Petrov, NRC and Downing Front two of the Fonz and Gabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Really like that side Mantis but he won't play it? It'll be 3 in the middle, if Delph is fit he'll play if not it'll be Bannan with Gabby up front on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Midfield of Albrighton, Petrov, NRC and Downing I'd be quite suspect of that midfield.. all 3 can go can annoymous for quite some time in a game, albrighton gets tired nearer the end, NRC sometimes is annoymous and Downing too. Petrov has looked shaky for a while but recently scored a goal so who knows.. there is defiently a risk of that midfield just being "lazy" or "annoymous" Other then that I agree.. perhaps a debut for Cummings.

Who would you put in there instead? Bannan is a bit lightweight and a good player to have on the bench to influence a game and isn't Delph still injured? Unless of course you want old man Pires to start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Last time we played Blues, NRC and Petrov never played, we have to win the midfield. It'll be great to see Albrighton against Bham, touch wood he's allowed to make his first appearance against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Its certainly a game we simply cannot lose but given our position in the league and the fact they are also in the relegation mire and we are playing catch up to them we really do need to win this. If we are up for it we have the better players. Its all about attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 They haven't played Albrighton yet (1st match sent off v Burnley for a "foul" on Elliott, 2nd match appendicitis) so *touchwood* and hopefully he'll tear that ugly **** Ridgewell a new one. Hoping for a 2-1 win for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
