I think the Brum will be up for this game as will we. So it should be a cracking match. But the Brummie boys are hard workers and we will be coming up against the sternest defensive unit in the division.
My gut feeling indicates that there will be no way through for our attackers on Saturday and we will eventually run out of ideas as the Brummies are in no great rush and are quite happy to remain organised, calm and relaxed. The Brum will settle for a point and will therefore approach the game with much care. They will be very focussed on not conceding to us and we may appear to be the more attack minded team on the day.
Realistically this game could go either way and any result is possible. But more than likely Brum will be very negative and defend extremely solidly and knowing our luck, a moment of brilliance from McFadden or Jerome or one of their other flair players will unlock our recently improving defence.
