Good analysis from the Wrexham presenter - love his belief - time for Blues to make a statement of intent! 1 nil blues - KRO

[@tonycardall7334]

The only reason Wrexham have a better home record than us is because they've played more home games.

[@carolsandland2933]

You're right... they have played 14 home games, winning 11. Whereas Blues have won 10 home games out of 12.

[@duncansmith53]

I thought Blues have won 9 and drawn 3 so even if we win the 2 games in hand Wrexham still will have a better home record... 11 -3 us. 12 - 2 Wrexham

[@carolsandland2933]

@@duncansmith53 apologies, you're right, I miscounted. We've won 9 out of 12

[@joeswift5296]

I’d take a draw with all the injuries. I think Blues will need to be leading going into the last 15 mins because Wrexham are very dangerous around the 90th minute, particularly at home !

[@tony7044]

Hoping for lots of goals 😍

[@stevesretroloft]

BBC reporting that McClean was involved in a car accident this morning - so his fitness is being assessed for the game tomorrow.

🔵👃💙 THE ROYAL BLUES WILL WIN 4-2 ... IT'S A BIG STADIUM FROM THE ROYAL BLUES YES MORE HAPPY TIMES WE WILL WIN THIS LEAGUE BY MARCH 30 😊 YES 👉 BLUES WILL MAKE A STATEMENT AT WREXHAM TOWN 👍 YES TOP OF THE LEAGUE YES 👉 WIN 4-2 NO DON'T NO WORRIES 🔊 KRO ....

[@alanslav1933]

Ex Solihull moors Ryan Barnett is a fantastic winger who's crosses are spot on.That will be the first job for Cochrane and midfield to snuff him out,Wrexham have this habit of winning 1 nil,I'll go for 1_1.

[@Bluemineck]

I agree that the Wrexham lad was very measured and eloquent in his analysis. He was also a die hard fan. Respect. Blues are a better team than Wrexham but when you go through the blues team who do you think is a ‘thug’. No one. They all seem nice lads, to a man. You can’t say the same about Wrexham. If things don’t go their way they’ll beat us up and the ref will likely be a spectator. Really tough game. I already think Blues will go up after the Wigan win. But if we win here we’re a cert’ KRO

[@louisfinnerty4143]

They'll beat us up 😂 no they won't, they've only got McLean and Mullin who are just 2 little rats. Bielik and klarer will easily have it out with them and let's not forget our lads can play rough too so I don't buy that at all.

[@MatthewDavis-yc4zo]

Mate we’ve shown throughout the season if a club wants to play it rough we’ll play. I don’t buy that we won’t one bit. Klarer, Bielik, Davies, TGH, Leonard, Stanno, Wright, all get involved if somethings kicking off and they all are likely to play

[@andye68]

Will be our toughest away game, especially with the injuries of key, first team players. Looking forward to it. Wouldn't be surprised if we lose, but hope we win. I'm going for a draw. Anyone else on the same rollercoaster?

[@bcfc18751]

I fancy the draw also! If Wrexham come at us we could scrape a 2-1 win!! KRO

[@michaelmorby5061]

Tbf it was McLean what made the trouble. No one knew he was on the pitch. He run the other side of the pitch to get bullied by belik that's why and then tap to his leg. He can't do that then everyone crys when he gets some stick.

[@bcfc18751]

He might not play. His car is a write-off. crash going into training.

[@bcfc18751]

A banker of a draw!! If Wrexham attack and leave room for our forwards we could get the win! 1-1 or 1-2! KRO...FEA

[@helenloughton2418]

Birmingham 1.0 if we play our usual football.draw 1.1 with injuries .hope mclean plays thats a advantage for us he is a muppet will get sent off

[@JerrySmith-cy9ds]

Wrexham fans are very confident there going to turn us over.we need to put a show on & show these teams whos boss KRO

[@paulmwrexham]

Most Wrexham fans would take a draw.

[@andrewjones4860]

No we're not 😂😂

[@micktownsend456]

Anyone who normally goes to away games actually manage to get a ticket ??

[@hudson7354]

No mate. Platinum members not wanted for this one. Disgusting

[@JustMyFish]

Hollywood Derby 🤣🤣 Its not a Derby of any description. 1-3 Blues

[@corin6677]

A big game for the minows that are Wrexham.....just another game for Blues

[@rossfernihough3264]

This wrexham podcast was good, bloke said the same stuff before 🙄

[@StevenHooke]

They wack the ball long a lot so get them on the break, lets see what players are available fingers crossed our midfielders are fit KRO

[@paulstephenson1086]

As a Blues fan I would be happy if we came away with a point and a win would are a statement because we are not playing great, have injury issues but we are doing what winning teams do and finding a way Prediction 2-1 Wrexham

[@louisfinnerty4143]

Not playing great? Unbeaten in 14, won 12, draw 2 and just stopped a team from even getting a shot off for 90 mins, currently on the most points a league one team has ever been on at this point and on track to get the most points any English team has ever got, but yeah we're not playing great.

[@b4mouse]

Clearly you are getting Birmingham confused with Cambridge.

[@JerrySmith-cy9ds]

Haha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 joker

[@grahamgreen1875]

Very nervous Desmond 2-2 KRO UTFB 💙

[@franknightingale6116]

WREXHAM have been far more entertaining to watch than BLUES this season. But it's points that matter. Let's hope that we will be entertained better in the championship next season

[@hudson7354]

They have not. They are long ball rubbish
