Brucey favourite 433.

oh dear....good to see RHM and Tshibola back on bench.  Maybe the plan is bank of 4 with bacuna / adomah wide and just let Jack win fouls in a free role!

why oh dear?

I fear the midfield will miss Jedineks strength and no height up front to hold up play.  Noting that there was not a lot Bruce could do in this area with Kodjia away/gestede up north and gabby shite

There's 5 players in there and we are playing Cardiff. So I remain optimistic that the drop off isn't too extreme. We do need some midfielders through this January.

Hope your right - maybe Gardener will be able to win a bit more than we've seen before if he is asked to sit back.  We must keep the ball on the deck though.  I can't see any aerial presence upfront & midfield.  Against leeds every goalkick / long ball was aimed to Jedi

No Kodjia = draw at best today. 

[Villafirst]

No Jedinak, not even on the bench? Hopefully not injured and being rested?

[Richard]

I'd give Jedi a rest until Wolves game.

[Villafirst]

According to the B'ham Mail, Jedinak is ill....

[Jimsta]

Just show's how poor our midfield is, Very light so a draw today be like a win.

Cardiff, I believe.

Is this available anywhere to watch?

Or listen?

It will force us to play a different way. It's not always a bad thing. McCormack has a great goalscoring record at this level. Time for us to find a way to get him the ball in dangerous areas and have him finish those chances.
