Oppositions View - Birmingham(H)

Last updated : 09 November 2010 By Dan Buxton

Stoke are bemoaning there luck of late, and have dropped to 17th, whilst Birmingham are keeping themselves away from the dreaded bottom three. How do you see this game going?

Tight affair with the ref favouring Stoke after Sky Sports highlighting the shoite reffing mistakes Stoke have been hit with.Stoke bombarding Blues.

What style of performance will Birmingham aim for?

Blues playing a 4-5-1 and attempting to hit on the break.

Birmingham had a fantastic season last time around. Has that raised expectations too much too soon at St. Andrews or would the fans accept comfortable survival this season?

There were a few deluded Bluenoses that thought we'd be aiming for Europe this season after our brilliant effort last time, but only a very few - the vast majority knew this season was going to be a lot tougher - survival is the aim.

If you could pick one Stoke player for your team, who would you take?

Tuncay - we lack pace and guile in that area - he's a clever player, a faster version of our own much missed James McFadden. Failing that Sir Stanley Mathews. :)

If you could give one of your players to Stoke, who would suit our style?

Zigic - he's 9foot 18inches.

Prediction?

Narrow win for Stoke with the referree falling over backwards to give you 13 penalty's and sending off 18 of our players, including the kit man
