It’s a big one for the Chairboys tonight as we welcome Birmingham City to Adams Park. The team will be looking to bounce back after Saturday’s heavy defeat away to Brentford and put an all important three points on the board.
Ahead of tonight’s clash, Alicia Povey spoke to Birmingham City fan Joe Lombardi (@BrummieJoeHD) to see what we can expect this time round:
Birmingham currently sit 20th in the table, with 27 points from 26 games. What’s your recent form been like going into Tuesday’s game?
We have a much better away record than our home. That’s what my hopes are clinging on to! We’ve lost nine times at home this season and only twice away, however it’s still not been much of a fairytale away from home with just four wins. After our draw against Coventry last week, we’ll be eager to grab the three points but there’s a big question over whether this pressure will get the better of us.

We’re halfway through January, which means we’re also 1/24th through the year. What have you accomplished with your time? Maybe you started a resolution or two? Did you pick up that book you’ve always been meaning to read? Don’t let time slip away, not like me, chained to this weekly blog post that takes up too much of my time and energy.
Here’s this week’s top story.
Colombian youth international
Andrés Reyes published a story on his personal Instagram account indicating that he is in Hanover, New Jersey. The picture - taken outside of a DICK’S Sporting Goods - may indicate something, but I’ll allow you to draw your own conclusions. Social media speculation can be so gauche, although there may be something to this one.
