 Saturday sees PNE return to Birmingham for what is in all reality the meeting of two teams who will neither be in the top 6 nor the bottom 3. Birmingham is a great city to visit, so to all the travelling support would be well advised to stay over and have a night out in Brum. City centre is great. Last time we were there was during the summer when we went to Edgbaston to watch cricket, and I am back down in March for a gig. (Pixies) The Opposition Birmingham City were founded as Small Heath Alliance in 1875, and from 1877 played their home games at Muntz Street. That can't be a real name can it? Like that lad who scored for Gillingham youths against us last night. Ronnie Sithole? They made that up surely! The club turned professional in 1885, and three years later became the first football club to become a limited company with a board of directors under the name of Small Heath F.C. Ltd. From the 1889–90 season they played in the Football Alliance, which ran alongside the Football League. In 1892, Small Heath, along with the other Alliance teams, were invited to join the newly formed Football League Second Division. They finished as champions, but failed to win promotion via the test match system; the following season promotion to the First Division was secured after a second-place finish and test match victory over Darwen. Darwen's a weird place. I rarely go there... The club adopted the name Birmingham Football Club in 1905, and moved into their new home, St Andrew's Ground, the following year. Matters on the field failed to live up to their surroundings. Birmingham were relegated in 1908, obliged to apply for re-election two years later, and remained in the Second Division until after the First World War. Since then, they've bounced around the top couple of divisions without ever really doing much. Personally have more of a soft spot for Villa (sorry Blues!) but I don't know why... maybe Tony Morley? www.facebook.com/watch/?v=389278559105850Anyone remember this? For me the current squad is better than their league position suggests and below are three reasons why: 8 FW Troy Deeney 9 FW Scott Hogan 10 FW Lukas Jutkiewicz No doubt Lowe and the lads will want to bounce back from last Saturday's shambolic performance, but he'll need to get his tactics spot on, as last Saturday was a horror show. The only bright spots were the two new lads up top, so I'm hoping Evans is still injured as I'd like Cannon and Delap to start. Got to go back to basics for me: Woodman Storey, Lindsay, Hughes Browne Brady Whiteman McCann DJ Cannon Delap |

Can’t beat a bit of Girl Power:-
Rebecca Welch will make history this weekend, becoming the first female referee to take charge of a Championship fixture … Birmingham City v PNE
Welch, who was the main official for an EFL fixture for the first time in July 2021, boasts vast experience in the women’s game, having officiated at the Euros, in the Champions League and in World Cup qualifiers.
So far this season, Welch has refereed 11 matches, showing 32 yellow cards, and there has tended to be plenty of goals in those games too, with a combined total of 37 being scored.

Good luck to her, it’s a thankless task! |

Rock on Rebecca, one thing for sure you can't be worse than some that have rocked up at Deepdale over the years. |

The women referees on FIFA are far better than the men. To me in this role gender is wholly irrelevant. Delighted to see such people blazing a trail. |

Cheers Mooney, Great stuff ginagee, I’ve seen a couple of WSL games this season and the skill level is really high. You can tell what they do during the week. On to our side and chances, they may we’ll surprise us. 0-1. |

ginagee,In my time managing in youth team football I quite often used to get a young teenage female referee who was very good all my players used to respect her and I would use her whenever possible her name was Amy Rayner who later became a football league linesman and in 2010 became the first female to referee a league game

Well apart from Lowe's useless lovechild, Ledson, being in the middle of the pitch it looks a decent side. Surely capable of at least a point?

One swallow and all that PW.....
I thought about going but was completely put off by that diabolical shower last week and the memory of Rudd letting a pea roller through his legs there.
As I remarked it is a better side.....and if they have all had a bollocking this week (inc Lowe_ then 'good'.
I've also got a feeling that they will playing for a start next week.
Shame Lowe can't organise and motivate the players at home.
Is Delap cup-tied?

At HT I looked at the Brum line up and saw Jutkiewicz on the bench...I don't know how old he is but I wouldn't mind him, he always scores against us at St Andrews, nearly always headers as as well. No surprise there when he came on and pulled one back.

Not pretty today and Brum were awful.. saying that, the defence played well, McCann and Ledson looked strong defensively too but it really was hopeful hoofball..
Thought TC and Delap look good strong willing runners, just a shame the balls up to them were just speculative!!
Woodburn doesn’t do it for me and I’d rather see DJ or Browne in the number 10 role.
Fingers crossed Whitman and Potts are back for the next league game..
All about the result today though!!

Possibly 2/3rds, Spurs may not want their man to play against them. Parrot may indeed be dead for this match.  |

Great 3 points, but poor in so many ways, hoof it up, give it away etc etc, Brum were awful, good job as well!
There are some poor sides in this division and thankfully several worse than PNE
