Wonder if he's been told by Fraeye to come back a bit late so that he misses this Saturday yet arrives back in England refreshed and ready to go for training ready for the Ipswich game next Saturday
I'm pretty sure that's Guam.1 -

If we play the we did against Sheff Weds and it's the Birmingham play the way they did against Rotherham then we have a great chance of getting a win.
If we play like we did against Boro being nervous in possession and Birmingham play like they did at Fulham it could be a tough afternoon for us.
But I think we will be bouyed by that win 2 weeks ago and I think we'll play ok. Whether or whether or whether not that is enough to get a point or 3 we'll have to wait and see.
Cautiously optimistic.3 -
2-0 home win0

They're in a play-off spot and cruising along nicely .. we are (I am an eternal optimist when it comes to matters CAFC) regaining some form .. the squad is now quite solid looking despite there still being a few injuries and Fraeye is almost spoilt for choice ..
with a more solid looking midfield and defence, i.e. Diarra playing a holding role and Sarr improving in the middle of defence ... allied to an attack where all at once there is a good choice of personnel and therefore tactics: Ah-Grant, Reza, Lookman, Watt, BigMak, Vaz Te, and the seemingly semi-retired Vetokele ..
Bigmak has become a vital component of our team .. IF he can stay fit for the 90 minutes, he'll be a big worry to the Brum defence .. I fancy us for at least a point ..
Birmingham City 1 v CAFC 1 (or possibly, hopefully 2)1 -

Brum look good this season. I think we'll lose. Which will mean KM sees another 2% of our fan base protest against her and RD at the Ipswich game.
@ForeverAddickted nice touch to reference the response to the Paris attacks - good on you1 -
This has got 0-0 written all over it.
Away from home we have the ability to defend but are feckless in attack.
I hope Vaz Te is nowhere near the match day squad. Show faith in what we've got and give Reza another go with Big Mak. If Vaz Te gets in it'll show even more so how shit the depth of the squad is.0 -

He was very good a few years ago. But he hasn't been consistently prolific. He hasn't done much since being dumped by West Ham and he clearly didn't do enough on trial at Rotherham.Nicholas said:

I'd hate to think he could walk straight into the team.
If he does I wouldn't mind being proved wrong.
I rated him before and let's say I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

If Reza hadn't just flown back from Guam, he'd be a certainty to start, it's jetlag that might put him on the bench0

I'm sticking my neck out. 0-2 Charlton win.1

Can hardly find the enthusiasm to make a prediction.
Whatever the result, 'trusted Karel' will stay in the job and if it all goes pear-shaped they can always blame Jason Euall. There is no interview process 'interim' only means until Roly changes his mind (again) and appoints his trusted cleaner/milkman/butler etc etc
Vaz Te was the most cynical panic purchase to appease fickle fans in the history of professional football and deserves its own chapter in the forthcoming book.."How not to run a football club" by Roland Duchatalet. Bet even Roly can't believe how everyone fell for it so easily. I suspect Ricardo is on a dodgy 'pay when you play deal' and we will never see him on the pitch but the grey Belgium bus bumps along for a other few weeks until the next crisis.
1-0 to the Brummies (or some other scoreline). Really don't care and only relieved I am away for this entire farce. Makes the pain slightly less acute.2 -
Didn't realise he had a trial at Rotherham. Not good if they don't think his good enough. With a bit of luck it had something to do with wages rather then ability. We shall soon find out.Addickted2U said:

just because Rotherham didn't sign him doesnt mean hes not good enough, wages, injuries in the squad play a partNicholas said:

Vaz Te is by no means a star, but he can play as a forward or on the left wing, ill take him1 -
Just playing devils advocate but maybe they wouldn't pay his wages? I think he will be a useful signing personally and add experience to our strike force. I wasn't excited when we signed Mark Bright or Dean Burton, but they turned out to do well for us. I certainly wouldn't drop Makienok or even Reza for him immediately, he'd have to earn his place, but I'm not disappointed with the signing. Doesn't mean I've been bought by RD, just means I agree with one of our signings.Nicholas said:

What a quandary, if we win the latest no mark puppet gets the job, if we lose we sink lower.....I bloody hate football today.1

looks like he's in Turkey, another move perhaps?

Either way sounds as though Reza is back from International Duty;
Reza had a long, 25-hour flight back, so we will have to manage that, but he is fit.

"He isn’t match fit yet but match fitness you can only gain by playing games and that’s what he’ll do in the coming weeks. A good start will be important for him and for us. He could be involved on Saturday.”
So he'll risk somebody who has insufficient sharpness? Another one who'll end up injured and it'll be a pointless exercise. Get him fitter first.0 -
Why do we only buy unfit players1

Because we go to the last chance saloon for our players.cafcnick1992 said:Why do we only buy unfit players
(In Roger Johnson's case: The king's Head)
So many of our players hadn't played many games in the previous year before joining or were out of contract or had problems with coaches.
Watt, Diarra, Ceballos,Eagles, big Mak and now Vaz Te,, plus so many other find it hard to step up to the 46 game season of the Championship after coming from different less intent leagues.
