Mid-size and James's Park Let's get straight to it the Birmingham City selection today and it's a very interesting selection as well alongside me which is. Three changes made by Gary rabbits and they go back to the four two three one system that served them so well away from home last season Stephen Hadley son comes into the side Greg's Jewett makes on the second start as shy Adams returns course David Davis is suspended Michael drops to the bench and Lucas cheek also amongst the subject units of the starting eleven Thomas because Jack in goal at the back Josh take is Coakley Michael Morrison Ryan shopman dollars and grant that she wold assist even placing and Robert Sasha the three beyond the strike it debuted cultural shy Adams and correct Hewitt with quite an up front on the bench Adam didn't pull Robinson Corey O'Keefe first call up to the scene yet same Michael keeps about race Bryan fifth all of it all to Paul and Lucas Newcastle May two changes from the team in the forest last week Vernon Anita will play it right back he replaces the Andre yet when a mammoth will play behind a white guy in the eye off a Paris blue selection very shortly let's head to Villa parking at the starting line up there below Wigan Mark Regan. Greeley's comes in Jordan are you comes in stead Ashley Westwood or the two men to my wife or them slight joins in the formation as well so he's in goal Hutton Elfie chest and out of the across the back then to the sits is midfielder That's Gary God yet not greenish in front of them down the rise Albert Adama down the left it'll be short and I you and through the middle Jonathan conjure on the bench Amila sack it's a sub to go keeper. Stead West. That's the home selection isn't it with great nation are you coming in what about wolves at home to follow them to mold a new afternoon to Michaela with news that to reinforce. Both So you goalkeepers. Call I came in N.D. Long ago and are on a viable and hairy big or uni selected ahead of John flat to work Mike he's dead beautiful Wolf he played here in the checkered tried trophy on Monday for the under twenty three but Harry but go and start seeing goal for wolves also we need Courtney Horsley replies Richard still human he can't play against He's parent club full of all the wars it's the scientists and that started at Q.P.R. So big going in goal for the back on all four bar holes and Doherty in midfield Cody Sawyer and Edwards was a constant Cavalera row up front and Dicko on the bench to share a return to the squad at the expense of Wallace to join Savile Pryce ball Vasan and about calorie Jackson as they needed a covering defend and John Flint. Mike I'll be back with you to talk about how to be going in just a moment the Walsall eleven fleet boards I am anti Malo one change for the cyclists from the team which beat Sheffield United at Bramall Lane eleven days ago Kieron Morris has suffered a recurrence of his ankle injury he's replaced by Kevin Toner with saddler's keeping their three five one one formation with nearly three in goal the three man defense Matt Preston James O'Connor and Kevin toner the wing backs a Jason McCarthy and this lead that is Adam chambers Joe Edwards and George dops and in midfield with a tumour supporting Amadou back a Yoko front for the sightless on that bench Craig McGinn a very valley a simian Jackson as Ira was born Liam can sell Andrea smack Chris and Frank moved right let's just take that very quickly to Molineux because a big day for Harry. A jump when I heard last night that they were going to be with Outlaw to get it looked like flight would get the nod but the goings on it said the lowdown on Harry. Well yeah well I. View the day as the year of the truck with a goalkeeper in the trophy so you come through the. Own do. Twenty one Zulu twenty three in the competition he has been and what's all new you went to initially to. You've been to the lowest stop so you had a loan spell last season where you came back from Lowestoft a little bit early because you had to cope with her injury to Joan flat because they weren't slightly surprising we this is I was known in some quarters certainly that Logan was in fates but what was and assumed it was that but going would have moved ahead of plant in the pecking order so in did you contract this week and has been on the bench now and David for the posting when one of the same you goalkeepers being getting to he was on the bench last week so did Benteke stand to be a bit of a surprise yet it's a big decision and a big day for Harry but going to court house moving in alongside anybody Stammen contemplate We'll talk about blue skies Jewett lot of blues fans be happy to stay What's get me going today live in a band where it's in James Bond the six games of Christmas it is cracked up starting today and you can also live one six and lost three I'm so fond Brighton taken over the top up to last much to no win against late so wins the blues would take them a bubbly and possibly reading depending on results Gary Graham it did play for James we want to one last season example mention that might suit them better on the road so far he's resisted that temptation until today why we've playa eat and the results meant that it was all much like OK well we noticed some things that we would like to do better but we're winning games and not losing I'm so let's keep going with it and so we feel like you know you know many players there's not many clubs that would change mustn't into white apply when they're winning games and in a really healthy position in the Lake Sun but we've been away you know probably of the last four or five games but playing so up front sometimes you know leave some some spice in midfield sometimes that encourages it to perhaps play a bit higher and often about full less Cova. Sometimes when you're on the ball you are less passing options because your lines of props a little bit flatter so and so there's lots of different areas of fourfold so you can cause you a problem particularly you know that with the two structures that we have playing you know we have got a natural ten playing as a striker that can drop in. Drop into most spaces sun is something we've looked at some point though of course when you play in a very very good team technically on sceptically a white from home and then what you don't want these loss of spice on the patient whichever way we do it you know we'll have to make sure that we limit spice in certain areas but also but we have some really really good attacking options because you can go somewhere like Newcastle and defend a vast periods in a game and then expect to come away with personal injury holes and carry around it which will put alongside me so it is a four two three warm but that's three in front of tension Gleason cultural Adams and Stuart's. You get the feeling when they've got the ball they're going to have to try and get up quickly in support of play and also when they haven't Carol be expecting that story to make it very very compact and tight and difficult when you come to the breaks or he will to an extent it want to leave and not going forward to try and hold up the ball because he can't just withstand as he was saying you've got a ninety minutes I'll share Adam's role that flitting around quite dollars is very important let's not pretend that this hand has been forced Of course it has with Davis in respect of being suspended keep the belt very much active form which I think is why he's on the bench and chat might go broke fortunately still on well they haven't really got to the bottom of the virus that's affecting him but I said worry is that it is a worry that they would hope that he'll get better but he weakened by the fact that he hasn't been well now for about a ten or eleven day period but he is getting treatment starting hopefully it will be back soon so when he's tired of course it's very interesting great opportunity but Rick to do it already is second late start but he and culture are going to be pretty diligent not least to protect the fullback Greg. From Newcastle. On the right and. Forty three. Compact they have to make sure that it was just a very quick word on the band's back ability when they've lost a game to tend to get a result next time around the last. April it's been fantastic that. Management are a very tough thing to think and. Six. Right but they think Bristol City in the warning signs last week was a black woman it's. Very hard on themselves they talked about last week themselves and you would expect some sort of balance back but. As I say they have to come back in a difficult picture. In the Birmingham area to. Have to win all the way going. Away games individual been pretty costly and they've been a feature in recent games and. At the end of the day we've made a mistake we've had really two really could clear cut chances and he scored with the first attempt on goal which is in the seventieth minute so you know it wasn't the fluid game of football everybody wanted but it was fair to say that we were comfortable and of course we made a mistake which cost you. More of said for us in this division is it would split it with mistakes and it's who makes the least and to be fair we've made a couple of them of late we've made a couple in the home game which just. And then of where one against leads in a big game at big big game top the table on the top four or five big road. He can't make mistakes like we did and unfortunately we did you said after the game. The changes seem to make you a little bit weaker run the stronger Was that a concern or was that just on that day I didn't think I didn't think would be this weekend Mark I just thought we became disjointed we became not this threat is what we were I didn't think we were as good making the changes as we were previously you know I thought we were comfortable and they came up made the changes oversee to put more people at the top and the pitcher is going to go but left us in the open deficit that rocket and the one thing that we have prided ourselves on especially in the last few weeks is that determination that that's not going to happen because if you get like that and you become a rocket and you come disjointed then they've had more opportunities to go in the last ten fifteen minutes and now we're chasing it but just didn't think we chased the game well enough but also first up against one of the whole clubs of course we can and Villa Oh we're going up to the last meeting which was Christmas two thousand and twelve we got one that's really will pay Lambert was in charge of going inside Villa Park and again he goes back to the year the home eleven really doesn't even Grecian are you coming in a culture down the middle Yeah he seems to prefer doing this it gives him a front for I'd also push Greely Should the middle I'm codger in the middle which I think is so he my favorite in a lot of people's favorite positions for those to play is he still got the threat in the wide areas of Jordan I U N L but so he gives him those four being the creative force he still got Gardner And yet he now today sitting in from the back for so today he's got to be on the front foot This is a game that surely would go in the most when cast agree if they're going to get anywhere near the top six and the other issue we go pick at the moment Gardner get in and all today it has been Westwood alongside yet and I can pass so again nice and maybe not quite sure as to which one of those two to go with though I thought Garner was unlucky last time out at home because West got the nod in that game and I thought that. God is actually getting better and better the more he plays so maybe Steve Bruce has as decided that Gardner is a little bit more of an emerging force than ask the rest with a maybe he's just a little bit more defensive minded I don't know but I think just in terms of form maybe the momentum even got to God more than I see Westword at the moment I would expect a little when Tony Ball you'll be joining might be going to the game in the Birmingham area and the Black Country will still up twenty the game stands full I'm fifteen points nine away game so far only rolls around have a worst on record in the division and wolves a first win on the pole but the Queens Park Rangers what knowing days ago now he's looking for his first win on a hunger saw and he knows how important it is as fun except they always evil it will form is. To achieve an instant. If you move with your support and watching to ensure you only support we we stuck to one who was with away from home so. The pressure is here because you know there is something you should really enjoy and not be feted by good enjoy it and if you do get the steam then the critics on the go with you that's been a problem walls you're not the first manager that has to deal with among you Factory be like Reserve very expectant crowd as a player managing a bunch of players how do you get them to sort of embrace it rather than shy away from that pressure but I think think spoke first Marc when you when you were coding in the big betting to the ball you know say no no show we're from those Mafia heaven and he told again mostly they will over there will be free and buy and all those tickets will make you mentally stronger if you can do it and be prepared to meet with sticks and I think that's important for footballers is if you can handle that code then you'll be totally from. Paul Lambert head of the game at Molineux football fans your verdict of course on B.B.C. WM between five and six zero three four five straight double double nine five six in league wanted a fleet what against Warsaw eighth against sixteen twenty three points between of the samples are played Fleetwood eight times and they're not lost yet it was a big win Sheffield United for Walsall so we November five points from five games but John Whitney looking up the table rather than looking over his shoulder you can get a result there it puts his level with them on twenty nine points which is a good place to be going into the next couple of games because it's very very congested I mean there's a very narrow spread of points covering Well half the division basically yeah it's similar it's been very similar I was in it for the last ten to three months now and while I think it's important we stay in touch with our pockets that start into in the top half about when sets us up to do that now I'm a player as they like the formation but it's Last year was it one of the positives or the fact we could flip between two two formations and when it when it was time to do that we had to decide and we decided for the Sheffield United when was it time to start doing it so when we use it again we'll have to say and Fleetwood now managed by movie. Lots of experience around various of the teams both in this division and and higher up the you know Michel I played against him for I was at Lincoln against Manchester City and. We had long hair then. It was at the old main road and we beat them beat them one there which was a massive upset when I finally was chairman and they drop down the divisions a little bit so I remember from them of come across him from the stuff side as well and he's a very driven very enthusiastic manager wears his heart on his sleeve and I can see what he's trying to do then I can see how he's trying to play and he does it the right way. To a good tactical game as well for me to put my wits against him which one I'm looking for to lock in Holland. But it also managed to talk to Rob goody he'll be your man in charge tomorrow as we go to the bridge to take on Chelsea twelve o'clock from eleven forty five talk about the Premier League. Just a couple minutes ago it became we drove a cock up a school twice what put on an absolute balding protocol has got the other Lukaku has scored for Everton he's got to close a goals we're about forty five minutes away favorite Christmas song. Driving home for Christmas and this is Mary's poor child story slide from my. Family Christmas tree. When I mean Hey all I'm on for Christmas Carrie Christmas is this is B.B.C. Degree where ninety five point six radio for the West Midlands the football phone of course every week not with the legends not to speak with me on Monday night we have the pub cast every Friday with the best of the calls and we meet more Muslims legends of the past joining me in the next week tomorrow Chelsea West Brom Tuesday night it's a very busy week of life football Norwich villa in F.M. Blues I'm to Ipswich on D.A.P. In the Birmingham area Cardiff wolves on D.A.P. In the Black Country. In the check a trade at the last thirty to one Wednesday night again the baggies and home just ones they put alongside genuine not far away the transfer window opened so let's just speculating little bit with each a back clubs blues are going to spend that they need to freshen up the squad of daily how many players do you think we're looking to bring in if we could have the perfect transfer window it's very difficult ingenues you say I would think you'll want to bring in four players and he'll want you at the door as well which is also quite significant. Which will almost certainly be signed and probably very soon we'll get confirmation of that the right decision I think on balance it probably is that we were talking earlier that if you went back twenty years ago Mark McKay was signing you and Robert's one million friends what you get for four million pounds in two thousand and sixteen Jake which with five goals all these heads has earned the opportunity and he wants to be a lawyer so I don't see much of an issue with that the fullback positions we know they need to put a help they need somebody to compete with groundsman which Wiggins That means that they need somebody to take over the right backs law say for the spec to compete for the center backs they get to be key areas but the other player that he wants and above all is priority is a central midfield A We'd better than what he's got in that if you combine. Skipped about it's actually have a great midfielder they all offer something but do any of them offer enough of it to carry the side full what it takes to stay in the playoff places by April and by . Amol rounded higher quality midfielder and he names can they compete on wages you know on the phone in the past week come we can't quite go on the back of West Palm Beach County becoming it again their. Big Premier League wages so it has to be heavily subsidized when you drop down to the Championship I don't know I'm not sure we can get football would he move out to get some games tonight. Even completely mostly in that area but specifically. Say months ago I said that would seem to indicate that he's on good money. I also think that I think they're looking at something a little bit more creative than. That I just mentioned you're going to be looking at a premier. You're looking at it. In the low off the lake. Side challenging for the playoffs structure that was a little bit more. Than never going to be huge. But it's going to be somebody you want regular first team football that bill whether that comes from. There want to. See it but you never know so we will see what happens but I think that well. Let's just get over the squad because. I mean in January twenty ninth in the squad. It looks like the cost of pain has got to get rid of the kids yes. Because there are a few that are on loan. Before. Presumably there are still quite a bit of money to spend even though if. In the summer we had a lot of talk. With but it simply going to be a. Grant. From whatever recommendation. To some extent that was a job to do you know all that. Needs to be done. And Paul Lambert has got to be more to the point he's going to be able to be firmly believe that he will be. So we'll see the problems of the. Kennel into. So why would anyone transfer window and. Think alike I mean ready to spend big they clearly need a striker that is a priority people like Jordan Rhodes have been named by the fans I don't know whether that's realistic Nike Wells Darryl nothing in the spirit you consul can't get a guy schooled banks a goal as well so he said could he be an option on load potentially I suppose if they're going to much money as they were employing the some of the lab that everybody general Pune However at the moment we're talking about a club that's in the bottom falling for the championship and you were just there for example to DO YOU WANT TO example it's all going to man until I see a player why from a club that won't will be going back into the Premier League so yes the money will be an issue but you know what will the only club with money in the championship not to mention club the holy A-Levels so they're going to have to do that so they're going to have to reconvene supply is that potentially going somewhere under a manager over the course and distance notated do eat and eat a something of it all going to. So we don't need to strike out if you will pull out but what else are you looking at what areas are you looking at think I'd certainly need the fancy covering the same to pretty quickly what will happen to Richard stadium and whether. You could do a few but he would probably apply to die if he was eligible to do so but we it's too early to tell really. But you know what players of going so far. Recently to share a. Very big amount of money and maybe. This consideration is to be my day the number one object you can stand up for. For the moment thank you Phil of course spent big last summer sixty million thereabouts on this talk of four of my players coming in one day away being done according to state so who's getting out. In January not as easy. Should Look it's always difficult mark to go and get people in January it's always been on the one thing I'll not to hear if we're guilty of anything here we're guilty of at a party line over the last couple of years and not done enough work in terms of who we're bringing in recruitment is key but make no mistake to all the Villa supporters out there if there's somebody that will make us better then I'm in a position to act but we have to get them once it's easy to go run five or six in it we're going to bring five or six in the half to improve us dramatically and I am sure there's five or six at this moment that we can get you know it's a bit different in the summer you know people have got weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks to in January people become a bit panicky there's no need to panic we've got a decent nucleus of players of course we always need strengthen and I don't think you have to be a rocket science to understand where we'll try and act we'll make sure that we get the right people. And if the right people become available then we'll try our best you know I think the long term it's important for the club at the moment we've just put up some sort of foundations down of that they can if a new regime and certainly found in charge of it and then I won't be just throwing good money after bad because I don't think that's the solution the solution is trying to get better players and more you've got to add to this court and make sure you're strong squads better and you teams better going forward instinctual some stay person its head inside the park it was a really good panic buying is a phrase he used that Villar of a done in the past you look at the squad we go there's some quality players there for the championship I mean you look at to get look at Johnson conjure you look at the Greeley should look at a DOMA but a left wing Good ol use not really best suited to playing wide that the left side they got the right sort it out with a double but a left wing got a right back with the priorities I think more defensive I think are you unfortunate you sort of going down a level rather than stepping up on level as I certainly I do would do the start of the season I think the defensive ranks I think might I would rule out a move for a goalkeeper I don't think really needs to himself any fibers on the Steve Bruce me just jump in your brick if you fall the first took over as well I think right different but I would also rule out somebody that you would call a really Shelly powerful forward moving midfielder in there yes I've got my degree are there yet enough to have a governing body team a job that might be a James Milner or studying Delphine's to get him going back a few years so I'm really interested to know who this mystery player raise that's already been good to great because that tells us a lot about economy where you sustain these things these trends in also the kind of place he wants to bring in the qualities that add to the squad as well you also heard him say that we're not going to panic buy so we're not going to buy the team tonight. In the end of the season the player comes in he's going to have to do a job that you think is down the line and that might also affect whether he does so much business in January or not but he don't know who that mystery player is that nobody knows the guy Steve Bruce does but on the way out Kojak. He's going to be made available I just wonder whether any of the other strikers some of the fans not overly happy with just state either McCormick on the bench that I haven't had much time could swap out one will choose strikers for bringing one name like Anonymous. Yet I think it also depends on the likes of pushing him for Murphy as well I think he's right for me but that's thing with the press I don't know a lot of the fans want to see him in the set up I've done these going to get the nod so maybe he's right for a move out of the place he missed is also Jordan lied in the defensive ranks he could go on the line move It's not happen for Ross McCormack yet but I got the African Cup of Nations to deal with in January as well so maybe the likes of him and Gabrielle upon the whole would actually be required more than anything else come January so there's all different factors at play here but the bottom line is Steve Bruce knows that he squad has got to be strong enough to see the job through the need to be the top six from its end of the year and then they need to kick on a level the other side of January yes to be in the top six at the end of the season I think that starts the day well my Hamady might be one and I've done the whole not in the squad to date is picked up I know isn't yet attorneys I can in training I didn't train on Thursday they're going to look at it yesterday and obviously he has made his mark on most tellingly alongside not really going for the. Commentary in the Birmingham area in League One fleet but against Walsall Amadie baccy Kelley the line again he's just a twenty six foot fall born in Sierra Leone joined Balsall three years ago had a few years in Dutch football as a youngster starting to make a name for himself at the Bank Stadium and he school but proved to be the winner at Bramall Lane. Quite quiet since hitting the ball with a free kick after ten minutes the little trick here he is now trying to float it through the middle to back. Yes. OK OK. For the Sadler's case seven of the say said matches each face scoring here the check a try trying fate six weeks or so ago but that goal potentially more important. I think he called off the pitch and also he said to it I think. If you want to be so be so for the right reasons and I think you so because you've got nothing left then you're going to have a good one of games I think and even if it's not goal scoring if you still occupying use the working for you team then it gives you more time in the team to Dangote you goals and that's that's important that the players look at that it's the work ethic it's carried on you have to do your job responsibilities which I misunderstand the now is really Gordon it's his time for him to maybe have a little run of games and it's. Just we're caught. In the Premier League and. The old Wimbledon against the new if you like the. A.F.C. Wimbledon. Still playing. To win six francs. Three adjustments made. Me Feel. Like. So you know it's there in the AC for the first time I like to keep the belfry spread and bass solo but also bull shit but Newcastle and me. Try getting it right back. Didn't violate the rest is a pull up front called Starlight. Will have a neat said Jamal that sells Kiran and pole. And go on for a week. And are using between them. Up front on the bench to keep the cells in the Ashram. But. Say. Let's go to Bill upon. How. We get to church was the person I asked us would Rudy just drop down to the bench Jack Reacher and Jordan I you get the nod today a slight tweak in the formation as well as the Grecians of Comet I did just behind John believe me and go on up and tell me just as your analogy across the back hall God I mean I had an accident just in front of them. To the dumber on the right George and I you on the left and Jonathan lead you know lines through the middle on the bank sockets are subject Gokey. British is steadfastly Westwood how he says a Roscoe cool might just one change to the we can line up I lost Darby by one goal to last time as we split comes of it in the heart of a midfield line and is between the stakes. I'm cool with that I'm on Stephen want to have fun and you got Sure MacDonald we still have the baby Perkins of me max power just a Michael Jackson formerly a pool but that one tree on the bench for them that a lot of charm will bring out of the farm to form your bull's eye don't count see. Wolves and dump them formally opens its. Can live in the Birmingham area across the Black Country. The knowing two year old from last week would have been considered. To have you. Mean recent weeks. And. Penalties in the. Three in the. Class. Once again having been told that several. Recently. Played against. The sign that started the road. Holes and that the color coded. Positions held. Down the center. Chair and Jackson. And. The sign reading follow your last. Sandman but. For the back. Of the youngster the land. Mass callous in the center and Ryan Frederick's to the right in the same to Kevin MacDonald back at the club where he was so influential for three seasons and came to a head of them from. Stanford your hand sort of unsolved. I don't. Comply with that school. Son Lucas Roy and six and. Twenty. Mark is. Looking for a way you win number three in the league. Kevin toner replaces the. Only change from the Sheffield United victory eleven days ago as John Whitley sticks with three five two with. Preston James O'Connor and Kevin totally with Jason McCarthy in the Scott lead Adam chambers Joe Edwards and in midfield with. Amadou. McGillivray. Simeon Jackson. Andrea smack Chris and Frank. Changed from the side which drew at Shrewsbury in the Cup last weekend Ashley comes in. Who drops to the bench would have Alex canes in goal that is Joe Davis Nathan pond and three man defense. And the. BELL up and down the wings with Georgia Glenda. Grant in the middle seven goal Ashley Hunter partnering eight goal David Ball on the bench Chris Neil Young. Chris Long. And divine T. Cole. Thank you. And we will see. You in the West Midlands B.C.W.S. Ninety five point six francs. Great for players in the world of football these days although it's a huge one for all of our clubs but you look at balls in a situation but full of today they come out of the way Tuesday night in the bottom three at the moment and forest away Bristol City we are Sheffield Wednesday away on the second of January to Queens Park Rangers with a turning point in the. It horse can make it back to back wins it will start to look right up four points three games so popular the manager Paul Lambert says all what really mattered at Q.P.R. Was getting the three points however it came about what is Everton it covers and what you the thousands and when you win football matches and we were lucky enough we get through in the end both as it was for what we deserved I thought I thought it should have been more and one of you said to the guys and I was OK last night you know let's not put the cigars on this this is the start we've got to get this rolling that if we can get back to back wins it's usually us in this division and then you have a guess if you take say this out in which will be much better off in the GO really good result will be against him in Israel but you still get one what's in front in then if you please play real film and then I think you could say we spoke after the shipper Wednesday game which was a defeat and then in terms of performance did you notice steps forward against Q.P.R. Or was there a lot of difference between the two it's difficult question because that. When there were rows and a game misstep the game really where we lost in the beauty the first half saying how they thought this in this it was ours and we should have scored which made the tape a game whether it comes going to definitely not in you but we should have scored recovery or by post and that may have given a little bit afraid towards the end of those and they thought we were very good visit long in the game and I thought very good luck with that I think they can bike is a major plus he's still going in the right direction appreciation of what happened overnight and small steps maybe along the way did you feel like it's going right for you. Well smallish I mean when you see the games in the Star Lottie so for so with really really and see what LOS can do and what can you can do consistently in this league there are so be sure to get through it and seen this in before who can do it who can match the view of the manager Paul Lambert Let's just hear from the courthouse back in the eleven today Stephen can't play I guess he's pairing club of course and House knows another winter day and people will start to feel a whole lot better even though where we're not really out there where important it's a war. Few wins and about can do myself into the club so hopefully we can have a free points in a weekend where everyone everyone's buzz and it goes to you know just do it did it feel like you did anything different than a Q.P.R. Or maybe want to think just when you weigh that so you have a line for three points as opposed to going away we won on one we just expressed them you know just high pressure of your real intensity and you ended up going to go ahead from there often quite comfortable on a visit to get a man sent off you know it always helps sort of quite early as last and your parent gets ten men you always an OK charter which will go the extra player. Sure they would if you were. In the school some of the new bosses sort of trying to get you to do is play a little bit further afield Yeah. He wants us to you know the front to back it up and the defenders from us. With a little corny house We're live in tights and James he's part. Of the Bulls game and. Let's just ahead back to Melanie a word we might only weeks might pull lamb but what are we noticing at the end of a Commie start to the first guy can we be going to die I mean nineteen years of age as you point out so it's not right to put the kids in there. No I don't think to realise things even more than that somebody said to me after the first game you know that it was a surprise selection of a kind of a collar because you've been nowhere near as well as the fact that it's obvious you don't so I said look I want to make it clear that no matter how many plays you've got in the squad which we've already discussed. He wants to be to be made clear that there are still a pass from the academy and I think that was. The first tell you which was doubted once we. Were going to come in and start throwing a lot of money back so it's significant in that respect because you know then throws he's called me and seemed to well look at the squad he's already into Would it have been different perspective so we've learned that about Paul lamb but the other thing that he's tried to. Go back to what we saw and behold. The last home game here any day before we got at Q.P.R. You know they did well to win but I would not go not against eleven men and I struggled for a while against a man who was only after I got in front I start to look really good and then I pretty easy to pull things together defensively holes because coming back even today it's a big guy in pain because he's got to because Stevie. He's a little and hasn't been in the face to face. And he's far from alone. So there is pressure with the frame this to get it always but I have better at Preston my strong if you when we study what we just heard. And you know I kept it. Up we put a lot of pressure that has got to be right before you go on to one body still very much but do we know what the fans want to see how the filaments today because it was shocking to get Sheffield Wednesday. Starting back to back games as well getting back to match fitness he could play a big part in taking the trouble in the second half of the season in the league want to call sleep but against Mark Preston getting games in recent weeks the twenty one year old played his part in the Win a primal mind and he's starting to enjoy himself now he's going to get experience from me I mean I think the first time that I got him was over an injury and when you when you come up from not Plains a plane you want to try and make an impact on the game and try and show your qualities and what you bring in a feel like in the in the few games are had at the minute I feel like I'm doing the and hopefully it's enough to keep me in the Star No no no my from when he came to me with a fractured back and I spent nearly a year with him get in and the strength bill open just making him physically able to cope with the demands of the game mentally that takes a little bit more time and he started to do that much better now and this is when we talk about trusting me to when the players are ready I see them day in day out I speak to them day in day out so myself or my stuff a good idea when players are ready to cope with the pressures of much Day He's doing great and that's why it's all about trust I trust that you'll go in there and do a job and in the last game at Sheffield United you're in a three when he would with you my Connor and Scott lead How did you find that it's not the first time I've played through the back we played a few times last season and but still you're always learning when you used to afford to go to three it's good having people I Jimmy and Scott who are so experienced in the play these positions a lot of times and I can. They can tell you things if you're unsure and they'll help you through the game but it was a good experience on the whole so broadly speaking while the main difference between playing in a four and a three from a center backs point of view it's more to do with positioning because you're used to playing more narrow when you're on the right of the left you tend to have to drift a bit wider at times and marking on the side of players at different times and things like that so it's just recognising those times and trying to apply them when you know when you know so Mike came into the game quite late my SO where he's come from and I speak to him from where he came into the game like to where he is now he's doing exceptionally well and he's got great potential physically now and he probably one of the quickest we've got and technically he's improving as well or off it takes a lot of time tactically I think it's the hardest position mentally they have to be as I say. And he's got about. Fifteen minutes away let's just find out he. Said he would. Do it and. Keep the Jew could be dropped to the bench and me to India make them into the castle side yet lead on to the bench. Altogether. We're going to change is going to release and Jordan I you come in Westwood in just stead the man to my wife Steve Bruce aside Saturn just one change on the opposition side we come into the hostile midfield Jordi Gomez is the man to make him optimal and you will see whether to enforce. All of them with the. Holes as expected replaces Richard steamin who can't play against each parent club full of. Goal. And Harry going to get ahead of the regular number three to Mikey's debut. One feels the same to you reading for you Bill last week I was reported Tom all our trust had corn chips before they were told I have indeed Mike as one change. Replaces Kiran Morris who suffered a recurrence of his ankle injury so Scott led shifts to the left wing back in a three five to four will sort of softening his place plate would Ashley hunter comes in for divine TECO. Thank you. And will see. Him. In the West Midlands C.C.W.S. Going to fly forty six francs. In James's Park as we build towards kickoff It is a terrific stadium to watch the football over fifty thousand will be rammed each side here again you can also make a point to go back to the top of the table blues looking to avoid back to back to face for the first time this season last Saturday a bad day at the office but it's revealed by Barnsley that he pending shambolic David Davies sent off so far they say he's a blues defending his big solid normally reliable set a half run shot and says he's pleased overall with how he's partnership with the skipper Michael Morrison has developed cultural deliver plenty of which talk but. Keep the belts neatly cuts back in funds grandees popped up on the right hand side crossed towards the far post headed across. Was a perfectly timed it rather far side from MICHAEL MORRISON We sat down in the summer and we've always said you know I want to be centrally with Michael so I think we've been very very happy so far as a par four and five of the goalkeeper starts from the front I think everybody works off with each other you know we're on the picture every day working more than half of the partnerships the four corner on the far side the left which cultural can swing in towards the near post shop. Both over. The season. In the challenge of each year one of the highlights is going to. Fifty thousand people and yeah it's from things where it will be rather intimate and for the record stars myself and it it's not a great place to be if you're in opposing players. Will have to get over that first of all and I'm calm everybody's nerves and pass the ball like we have been doing and you know trying to tighten up on the fronts results of Ryan Shelton ahead of the game here at St James's between five and six local times your verdict on your team most are a four five three double O. Double nine five six will get all the dressing room reaction so what's on the wish list for the day without reporters that first of all call in Tom ol I watching the samples at Fleetwood apart from cold and chips they watch on your A lot on your wish list well it was very nice frank see it as a male it was that wrote it all about lamented here to me today Frank fish and Shane about to wait so long to build on the extremely encouraging performances from Alain there was a three point separating see things my usual self pay to play in the last playoff place and given the picture changes that also had in the summer and then the fact they were just so dull and calamitous before rushed out as pretty good going to be three points off the playoffs and this is a chance now to food back to back wins for only the second time this season to be able to post as well against and to inform teams in the in the top I want to see him play the role of party to get it done that so many times in recent years we've just seen him do in Sheffield United fifteen game unbeaten record and they came here to hide preach to us to go and indeed it would sixteen game unbeaten right both if they can build on the first consecutive clean sheets under John Whitney and Southend and Sheffield United in the last two matches to make it three shutouts in a row it was the first time the card Army has failed to score in twenty one league matches and records are there to be broken at sites such as are the races today Yeah but if you believe it opens the eight meeting was not lost to Fleetwood yet in the Champion. In shape what's on the wish list for Mike Tyler will be alongside Mike for the day IP commentary in the Black Country the how when which would only be the third my kids and that's got to be number one on the list are obsolete I guess when you say you have a few minutes to go visit friends want to see a performance here and to pull calls like that but let me point out because soon we will mail in the N.B.A. Oh please I will be someplace. I would like to see you. Open a political page if I can but I want to be cautious doing that against a full on scene with a scoring goals all over the place of them I wouldn't put past one of the serious contenders reading last week and it would be greedy and it's Christmas toy and very . Greedy with the spread so the pressure really is so one also like to see I third penalty site of the week here will you for Harry to join I would not be cliched but you would which would be three things so far this season not many not enough. Tennis with this crap say you don't want to be around might into the idea that good looks that's why I'm awake and old zone favorites today but Steve Bruce is all friggin no to completion but we're going expectation and that that becomes that becomes the problem you know that everybody ruled and they don't say oh we're just going to show up when this doesn't happen and I went to watch them play against his field a couple weeks ago everybody expected us feel it and them over they've gone their new manager new idea you formation and he's paid the boy will shut up the front made it big change the hoose quick want to play on the counter-attack Joe she's just going in that different philosophy Proby to the previous manager. Let's go all the ingredients wavier be careful you've got to do what we've got to T. We've got to play well we've got to get on the front foot quickly and and hopefully set some pressure which obviously would tend to do the sorts of state that's at the thoughts of mockery going anti-body moley you said joining Rigo for the commentary European Cup winner Tony afternoon to you and. So what's on your wish list for billeted I well three points you know not really what if you play well enough of your search Stevie disagrees on the Red Knights quite right at the expense to turn danger the Steve is talking about we should be the one going to tend to the problem . We can get into the right but I thought of my children today and I do the job because I'm not about expertise in this they got to go out and do it but. The key players really should totally just be home and join us in culture and culture playing down the middle is that what you want to see a home run away although I will she get to play ninety minutes in about let's get really stuck you know honest about it as a given night the focus and all the talk but you know I want to say this really simple stuff you know if a city Let's check in an ideal situation I'll bite my worst today I'll become doesn't actually mean what I want to see if an item if I don't see I want to see it get it stop it were no big to me no but look at me I want to pressure. Professional football is going to get tackled Let's get that out is not OK Let's see if he can live up to the hype that he's getting that's going to see again I'll try for a tough position on the pick but he does win free kicks and one of the penalties the series let me call out last that's only a penalty I mentioned about a shot but yes if you see the way I'm old fashioned I you know be a free kicks going when you get the post and yes I suppose you'll get well let's hope the schools. For three double zero double nine five six for your reaction football fans between five and six we are five minutes away. From life. It's a choice of listening on B B C W N What against Walsall in League one on T IP across the country walls against full of twentieth against ten's with Mike Taylor and downscale a side money on T. IB across the Aston Villa at home to Wigan the boys in Clare and blue look at the parents back from the defeat at Leeds seven days ago in a payment B.B.C. James's papa Newcastle against Birmingham City the last meeting over five years ago Newcastle will not she won the tune of Britney nine league meetings with blues so we need to change today the last blues wait in the early. Two thousand and three all because they don't got the winner with Steven Roger Bruce in charge of the table if you chilled it all smartphone or tablet you need to be true today I'll be a weapon to get your fix on from the final whistle goes goes without saying we handed over to you football fans your verdict and you'll tell you. After the final whistle to be fooled by three. Point five six free kick every every night is the way. To spot. A five point six way thanks a pretty well from the best since trying to play. Oregon with fried rice I tried to go by the tsunami so they still have the carriage was why I was annoyed but firmly in safety look at the bright side I support it was last week or so I shouted to it is but there's a lot of pressure on these new council players to come out and perform in front of a crowd like place knowing that they need a point at least to get back on top of the table and the how fans will be demanding a performance they'll be demanding certain points let alone let's just quickly hear from Gary Wright a to pick up a because the Blues boss wants this to be an occasion these players relish it's one of those great games that you know if you apply if you want to play in the big games we spoke about it a lot recently haven't we had by about some time when we're maybe turn into the favorites for some games as they become your biggest challenge when you're the underdogs and you've got to apply Slava you know the lows obviously and historically you know we've we've always done in these type of games but we know this when US commits of pricing of us applied them a self so united from the fifty thousand fans it's not not an easy to be atmosphere it can be incredible if you give Bill position a lift and it give you opposition some of the chances but alternatively you know he said it's an inspirational place to play as well because of the crowd in the Champ it was very you know very unique isn't it for the players at this level such a big good one will really look forward to it as unpredictable as the champ should convey it to heck of a surprise if they didn't get what a promotion this year when yet would be I would suggest you know where that what players have got what a squad they've got what a crowd have ever got and what a manager you would you would you would a shame that they would be you know very very strong favorites to win that win the division and rightly so but. Spell find us a found recently you know it's not an easy division to win games consistently in my view on them I want you spend them on what you are and I think the difference for some of what Newcastle is that they've got the quality to come out of those dips thank you much expensive
