chipchat 61 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Really eager for the start of the season now. Went to a local friendly match last night which was a rare chance to see live football and now psyched up! I feel confident our team is better than Brum, but feel a little wary about how settled we might be, and who will fill that RB berth. Going to go for a 2-1 win for us, but part of that is pure positive thinking! Link to post Share on other sites
Adam P 331 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Birmingham were pretty poor at the end of last season and only got on the scoresheet due to a wonder strike, and for me they have a weaker team now, no Burke, Zigic, Ibe or Adeyemi and they have more new players to settle in than we do, cant see past a comfortable home win, 3-0 Link to post Share on other sites
Air Resistance 26 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Glad burke has gone, he gave Joe Bennett an absolute roasting in two games a few seasons back Link to post Share on other sites

Humpty 3,260 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'm getting a liiiitle bit excited about tomorrow. I'm waiting for the inevitable typical Boro moment to bring everybody back down to earth! Probably a last minute Birmingham equaliser. Link to post Share on other sites

"KM" 1,656 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Got a feeling Seb Hines will play right back tomorrow, he replaced Bennett in the second half against Villareal so maybe AK is thinking along those lines Link to post Share on other sites
andrewparkes 12 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'm liking this new found optimism we have at the start of the season, the entire town seems to have a bit more optimism and atmosphere about it, so lets hope its not in vain and we get off to a cracking start. Hopefully there will be a good atmosphere tomorrow in the ground, which will get the players gee'd up a bit more for the game. This could well be the season it all comes good, i for one am certainly looking forward to it, it could well be a case of this season or never, so lets bring it on! Link to post Share on other sites
richmfc 41 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 And if we dont win get ready for all the posts declaring we arent good enough and are set for another season of fighting relegation After all we had claims of pathetic performances when we lost to a top6 spanish team ,think whatll happen if we lose to a poor championship side Link to post Share on other sites
