Because of our recent poor form and precarious position in the Championship, this game is already being hailed as a '6 pointer'; so no pressure then for Ollie! @singlespeed is probably correct in stating that this game will decide Holloway's fate. If we lose then I do not hink it will be the end of his reign as our manager, but I do think it will be the beginning of the end...
Not having access to the dartboard that Ollie apparently uses to make his decisions, I have had to guess who will start on Saturday:
Smithies
Baptiste Onuoha Robinson Bidwell [Guessing Hall still unavailable to start. Furlong option at RB if the plan is to go for all out attacking]
..........Scowen....Luongo
Wheeler Freeman Manning
...........Smith
I feel that using Wheeler as a roving winger (which is what is best at), plus allowing Manning to surge forward or add extra backbone to the defence, will overwhelm the Birmingham defence. Smith's minutes played/goal stats are the best of our strikers, so he gets the sole place upfront; but the aim should be to use the wings more en route to the goal area.
