BARRY FINALE! INJURY CRISIS HITS HATTERS! Stockport County vs Birmingham City | Match Preview

[@benpadley4499]

Blues fan here. Your video popped up in my feed and I found it really interesting, balanced and a good insight into your team. I think it will be a close game, many Blues fans always said of this run of five games in I think 13 days, the Stockport game will be toughest. Some of our players are a bit tired and off form at the moment and we have injuries too. Hope you come at us and not park the bus like many teams do. After tomorrow good luck for the rest of the season. KRO

@@benpadley4499 turned out to be a close match with Stockport very unlucky not to snatch it near the end. Two top teams with injuries and both a little off form on the day.

[@terrycourt123]

We have injuries too,Lee Buchanan suffered a nasty knee injury,Emil Hanson went off possible injury.But we do have quality players to come in,Keshi Anderson was rested,Stansfield played half a game.We played players out of position but I’m sure we will have may as the number nine,Stansfield out wide Keshi on the left.The two midfielders Paik and Iowata are quality or we could play Marc Leonard another quality player.We will have a lot of possession but we have been vulnerable to the long ball.Hope it’s a good game,I think it will be tight,we will be eager to hold on to top spot,I’m going 2-0 Win for us.Good luck for the rest of the season.

[@thefootballrundown]

@@terrycourt123 sounds like you’ve got a lot more depth than us, we’ve fielded second string teams in the EFL trophy and they’ve been abysmal. I don’t think Chally trusts his squad at this point in time, losing Horsfall and Bate are too huge losses for us going into this game. I’d expect you to win sadly, good luck with the season bar tomorrow.

[@RobertChester-j5b]

I think your analysis is very good and fair well done I support blues but some of my family support stockport they live in Manchester ive shared it with them myself I'm a military vet ex Cheshire regiment

[@franknightingale6116]

Birmingham supporter here. The cracks are really beginning to show with us now. Injuries to key players are increasing. Buchanan's demise is a real blow. Cochrane foot injury is not going to heal properly until it is rested. I think that Stockport will really shake things up with a 3 - 0 win

[@davidchamberlain5425]

3-0 to Birmingham maybe 🤔 Stockport will start to drop down league when Barry leaves 🤔 but can rally if they pick up someone else at good cost👍..

[@nathanculbert9282]

Great video mate I'm a blues fan and I think this would be a great game because you lot play football and attack and that makes us play better. We made 6 changes against Blackpool but Blackpool was the best side we have seen down at are place. Think you will score 1st and we win 2-1. All the best this season 👍

[@thefootballrundown]

@@nathanculbert9282 cheers, we do usually go for it and we did just that at Rotherham too but given the injuries we have now I’d rather see us try and contain you and play on the counter. Last few games we’ve seen early goals at least one way so perhaps that will follow into this match. Good luck with the season bar tomorrow.

[@neilcook-ni3wv]

Very good indeed, balanced and reasonable outlook. Well done, I’m hoping for a good win for Blues tomorrow but nothing is guaranteed. Let’s hope we can keep Barry quiet, looks a very decent prospect. Best wishes KRO 💙

[@helenloughton2418]

Cant see birmingham losing this one .3.1 i reckon depends on c.d he picks players blues best side in league one end off

[@go-andu1]

I was surprised Villa would let him play as there is no need, if he gets a knock who are they going to ship him out or sell to in Jan

[@thefootballrundown]

@@go-andu1 not sure they will let him play, like you say last thing Villa or even Barry would want is an injury that prevents a medical being able to be completed this month.

[@stephanhirons3454]

Wthout Barry where are the goals coming from?

[@thefootballrundown]

@@stephanhirons3454 exactly it baffles me that Chally appears uninterested in January signings, can only assume it’s a negotiation tactic of some sort.

[@markLawley-g8u]

Blues fan here, we are not playing good football at the moment and I say County 2 Blues 1.

[@Nick_1072]

You ask Rob who is going to play? Well i doubt Mingi will start which raises the question considering he was hyped up as a marquee signing in the summer what is going on? Is he carrying a injury issue or Challinor simply doesn't rate him?

[@thefootballrundown]

@@Nick_1072 I couldn’t answer that honestly, it baffles me about Mingi every time I’ve watched him I’ve been impressed. Genuinely 10x better than Connolly too.

[@Nick_1072]

@thefootballrundown it also baffles me as well, I know he had injury issues early in the season, but has always looked a decent player when I've seen him in the flesh. Capable of playing in midfield and defence yet if seemed to me as if he was only named as a sub on Saturday because Bate and Camps were unavailable and of course he didnt get a sniff of coming on, in fact I didnt even notice him being sent to warm up by the manager or coaches. Something doesnt seem right as Chally rarely mentions him in pre and post match interviews either.

[@Scatt911]

Birmingham put out a weakened side against Blackpool resting players to be fresh for the game against us.

[@gcon1875]

Blackpool were actually the strongest side, on the day, to come to St Andrews

[@slightlyconfused876]

We built a squad of players that we could change without making it a weaker team, that said we were awful and should have lost to Blackpool. If we play like that against you we are going to get thumped.

[@thefootballrundown]

@@slightlyconfused876 I think if we had our best players available we could maybe get a result but we’re too weak when we lose certain players.

[@Nick_1072]

I can't understand why Stretton hasn't been recalled when the striking department is so lacking in goals and numbers with Tanto now out for a longish spell and Barry a major doubt and of course leaving after NYD. I agree Challinor didn't sound in his Rotherham post match interview like any new signings are imminent either and tried to play down the question

[@Nick_1072]

My team would be Hinchliffe Connelly. Hughes. Pye Collar. Norwood Knoyle. Barry. Rydal Wootton. Stretton Stretton recalled from Woking and starts Olafoe in for Wootton if fit

[@lukemacdonald4293]

@@Nick_1072wait is there talk we could call stretton back before Wednesday

[@Nick_1072]

@lukemacdonald4293 good! For me it's a absolute no-brainer for me when we are so short numerically and quality wise at the moment. He's not everyone's cup of tea but IMHO the best 'natural' striker on the books.

[@lukemacdonald4293]

Really hope Louie plays on Wednesday and signs off with a hat trick 😊 WHY NOT AY? Whatever happens, thank you Louie, top man. 👌
