id be more inclined to say i hope the roasters behave themselves and not that I hope they cause trouble and get battered .... but each to their own

Never doubted him

I still do have doubts about him but he has turned a corner and we've been on the up since the first half mauling at Celtic Park.

50/50 final imo. Hopefully fearing for their city centre Sevilla cooncil have found a mason to ref.

unlike some on here I never did actually doubt it and took some heat for backing him !

Poeple used to rave about Beale and his tactical knowledge. I think Gio has shwon in europe that not only can he set up a team to exploit their weakness and play to our strengths but can adapt his tactics during the game depending on how it is going at the time.

He's looked like Ian Beale since arriving in Birmingham

Gio will have a real test this summer.

We have a big players needing sold if they don't sign new deals.

Kent, Morelos, Aribo.

I would imagine unless we win the Europa which might get them to sign new deals or at least give us good money to offer them then all 3 will be sold.

Huge task to replace those 3 in a window if it comes to that.

Its massively exciting times.

The final is 50-50 and the thought of us winning it is pretty mind blowing. To do it beating three Bundesliga teams along the way would be an incredible feat.

This weekend is going to be the longest in history. Monday is going to be my least productive day at work ever - and the bar is set pretty high on that one.

It will be interesting to see how the B team get on against Hearts tomorrow. Fully expect Kind, Lowry, McCann and maybe Devine to start. Also wouldnt be surprised to see maybe Cole McKinnon, Robbie Fraser and Murray Miller at some point. POssibly Ross McCausland.

Think there are 9 of the B team training with the first team this week.

Kent is the one for me .... hard to get those players, especially on our budgets. a quick, skillfull, hardworking wide player who show up for the big games and provide plenty of opportunities for teammates.

Lowry often plays on the left of the front 3. Gio might be happy to go with Lowry and get Bassey up the park more if Kent goes.

cant see it myself but you never know. Lowry will fall into the Aribo category of being the most attacking central midfielder.

I wonder if it will be a complete b team v Hearts.

Would be a disaster to get an injury to a key player before Wednesday so i hope it is.

What would your final team be?

Agree with that but i think to replace Kent we would need to do the same again.

Find a big youth talent that's got a difficult route to the first team at his club.

Lowry will play second fiddle to Hagi until we sell him imo.

think he will defo go with a back up team ... he has to.

If there is any players he wants to get a few minutes into their legs may get a half but what we seen on wed will be the team only with Lowry dropping out and Jack coming in for him and kamara being the advanced cm and Aribo up top.

yup loan in a young talent who is perhaps at a big team that they will struggle to break through, slap on a option to buy again

Hopefully none of these shocking scenes between the fans next week https://twitter.com/BeardedGenius/status/1524663711666950144?t=fQuH5PYklYs4yVOiijVGUA&s=19

Will Roofe not make it?

Ramsey to start might be a shout.

posted on 13/5/22

GK McGregor
LB Barasic
CB Bassey
CB Goldson
RB Tavernier
CM Lundstram
CM Jack
CM
LW Kent
RW/FW Aribo
FW

Only two spots up for debate really.

Ramsey or Kamara
Sakala, Wright, Arfield, Roofe all fighting for that last one.

Wish we had Morelos available, almost never injured then out for our biggest game.

He'll be on the bench even if not fit just in case you need a goal last 10.
