MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (a) sponsored by points mean prizes

[John Smith]

Worst result possible 1-1, or 0-0

Not even remotely enough to give hope of any up turn in fortunes, but possibly enough to keep Stam employed for another match.

What an utterly pathetic post - wishing your team to lose. A point would be a good result.

Support the team.

[Sutekh]

And Tommy Elphick has been signed in time to be considered for this one. Wonder if he'll start in place of Ilori or just get a place on the bench.

[Brum Royal]

I reckon Elphick and Moore could make a decent pairing. If we go with that tomorrow, then I think we'll win 2-1

[Snowflake Royal]

Worst result possible 1-1, or 0-0

Where did I wish the team lose?

I want us to win. I just don't think we will.

[Old Man Andrews]

If McCleary is in the squad then there is something seriously wrong with Stam. His performance was a complete disgrace on Friday. Club should be doing all they can to get him off the books before Deadline Day.

I'm hoping the disgraceful defeat against Burton at our place will rankle with the squad, and they give it plenty. For sure Elphick won't take any prisoners, so one would hope his fight will rub off on the rest of the players and a bit of back bone will appear. Narrow 1-0 win?

Of course knowing the Dutch tw@t, Elphick will be a non-playing sub in a 0-2 defeat He doesn't have enough match fitness you see, so we'll have to carefully bed him in - he might make a start towards the end of the season. Oh thank you so much Mr Dutch Tactical Genius,

[Ascotexgunner]

Bring in Rednapp until end of season then Murty to give us back our mojo

F*ck off, I'd rather have Stam than have that tax dodging w#nker near this club. Never understood the obsession with him. He's f*cked Birmingham good and proper. As for Murty, way too green. But why would he come here when he could be playing European footy and winning things potentially up there.

[royalp-we]

From the Twitter posts I get the impression that they've given Stam an ultimatum with this game. Result or you're gone.

I'm not sure that Daniel in marketing will have been tasked to phrase his tweets with such conviction

It's just bloody obvious that this is an important fixture with the games coming up.

Why are you pissing yourself off over scenarios that haven't, and probably won't happen?! Strange man.

[Theroyalbox]

It's got to the stage where I would take a point in a game like this, isn't there amazing stat about the last time we won away on a Tuesday in the league, think it was when we beat Leeds 4-2 under sir nigel with a drenthe free kick

[Hound]

didn't we beat Birmingham away last year on a Tuesday (1-0)?

[Hendo]

didn't we beat Birmingham away last year on a Tuesday (1-0)?

It was indeed. We also won away at Wednesday last season, admittedly it was a Friday night rather than Tuesday, but still a 7:45 KO.

I sincerely hope we get oxf*rd trounced and change comes of it.

Great attitude to have.

Not enough 's.

I get people wanting change for whatever reason, but actively wanting you team to lose, get a grip.

What are you exactly enjoying by going to these games? Have you faith in a manager allergic to change to... change things? I bet you I'm not in the minority here.

Maybe I'm a masochist. But I'd rather the cracks (canyons) werent papered by another non performance against bottom of the league opposition.

Id maybe have a bit of sympathy to that viewpoint if there was any evidence it would force a change. But more than likely would just sink us even further into the mire with Stam still in charge

this is a complete must-win in our current situation. Stam and his future can wait for now

How many wins in a row, hypothetically, would it take for it to be not papering over cracks?

If Reading were to win tonight and then v Millwall, by convincing 3-0 wins, would you then be disappointed?

[biff]

Obviously as a fan I want us to win every game, but you're lying if you want this to carry on as is.
