Birmingham City (h): Score Predictions & Starting XI

I think we need to go solid with players who will press high and long for the first 60m minutes. I don't know if House if fit, but if he is he has to go straight back into the starting XI.
The likes of Ring and Cadamateri would be better used from the bench when the game stretches late on

Wickens
Darikwa O'Connor Jackson Roughan Jeffries
Mcgrandles Erhahon Moylan
House Makama

Think we are the kind of team who will disrupt them.
Going for a 2-0 Lincoln win with a 26% possession stat
 
Birmingham missing a number of players including Brain of Britain winner Krystian Bielik, who was booted into touch by Charlton a few days after his words of wisdom.
 
Yes press high up the pitch get stuck into them they dont like that A majority of the players and fans are big heads and think of the other teams in the league are rubbish it would make my week if we beat them so Lincoln city 2 Peaky blinders 1 lol no razor blades
 
In true Kevin Keegan style…

‘I would absolutely love it if we beat them, love it’.

Hopefully we go better than Newcastle did and claim a disgusting dark arts 1-0 win.
 
3 2 Imps .
Really hope House is fit.

Makama House(Cadamarteri if House not fit)

But could Skoobs surprise us if both Hamilton and Reeco considered match fit?
And what about the bench?
Obviously one of the 7 will be a keeper.
So could have to choose from the following if House fit
Hamilton, Reeco, Cadamarteri, Draper, Hamer, Ring, Bayliss, McKiernan, Earley, Montsma and Street. For just 6 places.
Apologies if I have missed anybody.
Slightly different from the days of not being able to fill the bench.
 
Alfie May out too for Birmingham, which is a bonus.

I'll go for a 1-0 narrow win and a team of (if Ben is fit):-

I'll stick my neck out and go 2-0, They Shall Not Pass. And if they get frustrated trying to break down our back line and give the ref a good reason to wave cards about, so much the better...

If Ben's fit, he'll go back in and perhaps start Jovon alongside him. Our gorgeous surface allows for pass-and-play and I would love to see those two taking it to the Birmingham defence. Reeco will get an airing (perhaps off the bench) and bring on Ring and Cadz for late impact...

Brum forum suggested Stansfield might be out, would be slightly blunted if both of those two not about
 
Let’s get at them from the 1st minute and give them no peace for 90. 2-0 to the Imps with Ben House returning to get on the scoresheet. Erik Ring to come on with 30 minutes to play and take on a tiring defence head on.
 
Players will be up for this big time, and will need to keep their heads and avoid unnecessary early bookings. House back, and having a strong bench gives us every chance. Jackson struggling for fitness? So Hamer may slot in.

A great atmosphere and a positive 3-1 Lincoln win.
 
I’d take a 1-1, but would love to see us win 1-0. Wouldn’t disagree with the majority above, although didn’t Skoobs say Jacko was touch and go? I know Bayliss is out, but the bench will be interesting as Skoobs needs players who can change the game for the last 30. Just hope the ref lets the game play out evenly and keeps his cards in his pocket (unless it’s obvious)
 
.... and even more ridiculous from me but I think we have the power to win this big time 3-0 from me. House and Ethan to watch their chats with the ref as we'll 11 players on the pitch. Imps 4ever
