Hull V Birmingham

[Manuel]

After Saturday's victory we welcome Birmingham City to the KC, who after a slow start have picked up and with games in hand due to their European campaign will fancy their chances of breaking into the top 6. After 2 defeats Saturday's late victory was just what we needed and I can see City winning this one 1-0. Thoughts?

[BeverleyTigerDJH]

Think our offensive ability will be too good for Brum's defence tomorrow night. Although Chris Hughton's tactics are normally strong, I still think we could come away with all 3 points. A team is still due a wopping off the Tigers this season, and it's going to come any time soon, im sure.

3-1 Hull City, Fryatt x2 and Stewart.

Welcome back Boaz Myhill

[John Aberdeen]

I would say it should be a good time to play them at home. There weekend game was on Sunday, so one day less to recover, plus there were in Europe last week down in Portugal, so have had a busy schedule. Because of this will go for 2-0 to the Tigers.

[Roary The Tiger]

Birminghams form has gone in the league - with only 1 win in the last 5. I predict the Tigers to win 2-0

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

Yes i also think that due to Birminghams european schedule on top of there league matches Legs will be heavy as playing 2 games a week for virtually all the season MUST take its toll. As they now have CURTIS DAVIS SUSPENDED after being sent off on sunday @ Cardiff that wont help either. If City keep up the pacey passing game then i dont see a problem overall. Legend(Myhill) at one end & a dog end(king) at the other. Welcome back Bo and thanks for the great memories. But hope for one night only U av a complete mare. Lol. Hull City to win, score dont matter. Top 6 again.

Ian Ashbee was at the game saturday wiv lesta and i wonder if he and other from the PL team will also turn up. Will take a peek.

[PattyNchips]

IF we was still with the boring arse, I would've claimed that at the KC, we are a bit dodgy...
But due to Saint Nick, christmas should come early!

2 nil will do nicely TYVM!

[StrovolosTiger]

We don't draw at home and Birmingham don't win away so everything points to a home win. But I just wonder if the emotions of Saturday might have proved somewhat draining, so despite the stats I'm going for our first home draw of the season. 0-0

[DJBlackandamberarmy(No4)]

a lot depends if he rests stewart, keep thinking he wont start him every game..tight game either way
1-0 or 1-1

[Bosco]

Tigers 2 (Fryatt and Stewart) City 1

UTT !

[Chiltons222]

Think all the posters so far have got this nailed. After that 4 wins in 4 games spell they have fallen away a lot, and followed it up with only 1 win in the last 6. Only 2 away wins in the season so far tells a story. With City finding a new confidence at home I think we should get a good result tomorrow night. The old adage that city always do what you don't expect is still gnawing at me but.....Black n Amber 2 v Blue Noses 0.

1-0

yes i was thinking along those lines. maybe save Stewart and Dudgeon for roles off the bench in the last 30 mins.

go with Adebola from the start as they wont have Curtis Davis due to suspension. City will need someone to mark Zigic(6fit 8") at corners for starters. Adebola did well against the hammers and the same again would surely do the trick. Nice to see Nick thinking about tweeking the team for each game to keep things fresh. we shall see.

[NFUNo1]

We've to draw at home at some point and tomorrow will be it. Either nil nil or one all.

With a busy run of games recently then a busy run of games to come over Christmas it wouldn't suprise me if Stewart was rested tomorrow night or at Coventry, very much like Dudgeon was on Saturday.

[Oregon Tiger]

I think we all remember what Bo used to struggle with. Great shot stopper but iffy on crosses at times and didn't command his area.

Now, if only we had an aerial threat to take advantage. Maybe a 1-off start for Dele Adebola? We can always go back to the more usual set up if its not working.

[didn't notice someone had already suggested this further up the thread.]

[originallambrettaman]

No new injury worries...

It looks like Garcia could be available for Coventry, or more likely Millwall, Oli is likely to be a couple of weeks longer.

it was I, but yes great minds think alike. this is what i like about Barmby, he is always thinking about the game and he for sure will know all about Myhills weaknesses.

good news then. would not surprise me to see Oli on the bench @ middlesboro or burnley.

[westhulltiger]

Cannot see him changing the starting line up

I think we will win too so long as our bad habit of getting beaten by off-form teams doesn't crop up again, 3-1 to us

I keep thinking this is tonight.

I know the game has been rearranged but why didn't they just put it on a Tuesday?
