Not usually overly pessimistic but I can't see us winning this one, think Birmingham will win comfortably, 2 hard to take losses and our home form is dreadful. 0-2
Excited, I'll be there with the family. My son is a bit young, but given that we don't live in the UK, we're taking him to his first match. Fingers crossed it works out!
Feeling pessimistic about this one and about February generally. Think we may well be pointless this month. Given the accuracy of my predictions so far this season that probably means we'll get about ten points from the next four games!
I want to see Stephens restored to the side. Absolute certainty that Hamer will get one of those weak 30 yarders that is rolling towards him and hits a divot three feet in front of him a la Tim Flowers a few years ago!
Burke looked good for Scotland on weds and I can see him giving Ceddy or Wiggo a tough time. Brum have some excellent players despite their troubles. We have done well so far this season to be above them and other big name squads like Wolves and Bolton. Hope our chickens don't all cone home to roost this month.
A very big game especially as it is against a team currently below us. Another defeat will leave us looking nervously behind us. Head says 1-1 draw Heart says 2-1 win. Don't care how we get it, just need a win. I will consider leaving if we are 1-0 up with 15 mins to go.
Still fed up after losing to the stripey pikeys with their decaying ground, revolting kit, annoying tannoy, rubbish mascots, weird looking fans, their over rated Croydon Pele, their Golum manager, broken scoreboard, wooden seats and all the bad memories of that place. Meanwhile tomorrow I think we'll score a late goal but still lose 2-1.
We seem to perform worse against teams who on paper who we should at least give a game, so that points towards a 1-0 loss for me, or another 2-1. Won't be putting a bet on that though, not that I ever would against us.

Knock the nigels all you like but he's one of the best & most honest, refreshing managers about!
The reverse fixture set the tone for this season - one where the players are learning how to adapt to a new league. We really should've closed the game out (sound familiar?) at 1-0 but Blues ended up snatching a late equaliser.
I hope we can turn a corner and cruise to a comfortable 2-0 win. Morrison and Haynes.
I'm giving up on guessing, I am going to rely upon recent evidence. We will come out and play some sparkling football, and go in 1-0 at half time. After some cautious words at half time we will come out and defend in depth, and suddenly the opposition will sense an opportunity. With fifteen minutes to go they will score, 1-1. Everyone will look for us to make changes because we need a win. When we don't the opposition will say thanks very much, make a change themselves and score again 1-2. At 88 minutes CP will look at his watch and think good grief, I wll have to put a couple of subs on and ask tham to save us in the last two minutes. Game ends 1-2. OK I'm a miserable old bugger, so teach me a lesson CP and lets learn from our mistakes.
Lets hope they score first....if they do, we pinch it 2-1 or even 3-1 but if we score first as per Granpa I'm afraid.

Consequently, I think the best we can realistically hope for is 1-1.

Addicks win tomorrow because I'm missing it.
Birmingham City, last 8 games - 3 wins, 3 draws and only 2 loses.
A frustrating 1-1 draw.

Morrison and Haynes.
Next.
1-1.
