Colo in for Campbell. Maybe Williamson for Taylor if we're being fussy, Ranger for Shola obviously. I'd take a 1-1 draw but think we might nick it.

Simpson                Coloccini        Williamson    Enrique

 

 

Barton                  Tiote              Nolan          Gutierrez

 

                           

                            Ranger        Carroll

 

 

May I add that Campbell must be dropped however I wouldn't be too bothered if Taylor started in place of Williamson.

As much as I liked what Ranger showed against Pool, I don't see him as a starter in an away game vs Birmingham. I'd go for something like this.

                                     

                                Krul

 

Simpson        Coloccini        S.Taylor    Enrique

 

                    Barton                  Tiote             

  Guthrie                      Nolan                Gutierrez

 

                                  Carroll

 

Ranger is the supersub

Simmo Willo Colo Enrique

                Tiote

Routs    Barton  Jonas

              Nolan

              Carroll

 

I would include Routledge. Last time i watched Birmingham they had Ridgewell playing at LB. Routs would give him a lot of trouble imo.

Nolan to play the role Ameobi has been the last few weeks.

Barton to play the role Nolan is now.

Willo to play on Zigic due to height.

Colo is our best organiser of the defence imo and is the other CB for me.

 

Will take a draw but know as with any Newcastle game it could go anywhere.

I'll predict a 1-1 draw

I'd want either Willo or Sol on Zigic for starters.

 

 

 

Is by no means a regular starter for Birmingham. Often just Jerome up on his own. Alex Mcleish makes Fat Sam looklike an adventurous manager.

We dont need to change up top? Ranger can come on and mae a similar impact if needed, but Shola is more effective than you think...

 

Sol needs to step down, he's had 3 games and 2 out of them he has been nervous,eratic and generally poor..

 

Same with Taylor, He was once a solid rock at the back but at the minute he looks lost, but thats not to say he won't improve,He has been out a long time,but i'd rather have Williamson back in there, Unsure about Colo though, He is hit and miss everytime...

Plus he's shite in the air and doesn't like a physical battle

If you are going to  Brum watch out - they are by far the nastiest bunch of supporters in that God forsaken city

 

Had one of my worst ever away trips there, getting started on in a pub by Brum fans despite being about as threatening as a pink teddy bear. Thankfully some random Toon fans came to my rescue.

Yeah I live halfway between Aston villa and Birmingham city's grounds. I will not be wearing colours for this game and I would advise others to do the same.

Zigic may be 19ft tall but he lacks aggression & I would imagine Colo has come up against him a few times in the RealBarca League so he knows what to expect. Roger Johnson & Scott Dann should be good match for a the Big AC in the air so playing on the deck may be the way to go. Nolan will be up against Barry Ferguson one of the few midfielders that he will be faster than. Hopefully Sooper Kev will be playing & he gets the Barton fist to the ribs, the Williamson headbutt to head & the Colo elbow to the face.

                      Krul

 

Simpson   Coloccini  Williamson  Enrique

 

Barton       Tiote        Nolan         Jonas

 

                  Ameobi     Carroll

 

Subs- Harper, Taylor, Campbell, Smith, Routledge, Lovenkrands, Ranger

 

Don't feel very confident with Taylor and Campbell, hence Williamson and Colo back. I think Ranger may be better as an impact sub at this moment in time

 

It'll be a 2-2 draw as well, Carrol and Nolan to get goals for us.

I must admit, i've learnt from past visits that its not a place to wear colours.
