Birmingham vs Reading

Reading will be looking to secure their third consecutive league win this evening as they travel to the Midlands to face Birmingham City.

Unfortunately, Carroll wasn’t effective enough against the Sky Blues and doesn’t deserve to start at St Andrew’s because of that. This is a club that has a lot of potential though, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if the club was sold to another investor before the season ends. We knew about his fitness record before he came here though and with our own record on injuries, it was never going to be a dream combination! Coventry was another one of those games where we didn’t perform brilliantly but still managed to get the three points - and this result cannot be underestimated considering the form Mark Robins’ men were in going into this clash. It seems as though the club have brought in the perfect man to unlock their potential - and some of their youngsters look set to shine at this level in the coming years. In terms of their failed takeover, it must be gutting because Maxi Lopez and Paul Richardson seemed to be committed to getting a deal over the line.

He loves the game, and I’ve watched Birmingham’s games and a lot of their stuff goes through him. I know him well – some of the stuff he achieved with Watford and in the Premier Leagueand he’s still going. “Scott Hogan is going to be out with a hamstring, which could help us. “Scott will be touch and go maybe for Reading. It’s something we have got to be very careful of. The midfield three sees Krystian Bielik partnered by Hannibal Mejbri and Juninho Bacuna. Paul Ince has challenged his Reading players to stop Troy Deeney when they visit St Andrew’s on Friday night. Hannibal’s free kick looked to be heading harmlessly towards Amadou Mbengue but the young defender let it slip under his foot and allowed Chong to go clean through on Lumley. Blues huddle up, assume their formation, take a knee and away we go, Roberts launches a long ball forward. As a result John Eustace has named an unchanged team, meaning Tahith Chong will continue in Hogan’s place up front, alongside captain Troy Deeney.

Birmingham's home form is a matter of concern this season (W3 L3 D5) as they managed to win on three occasions out of eleven. They lost their previous home game ...
