A "must win" game for both side and one which has seen Birmingham supporters groups release a statement telling the players they're paid a lot of money and really should be trying very hard. The two sides are in the relegation zone after tasting defeat in midweek and are locked level on points heading into this game at Hillsborough. Brum boss Karanka is now fighting to save his job following an 11-match winless run in the Championship, with seven of those ending in defeat. The most recent of those losses came away to Millwall on Wednesday - Jed Wallace and Ben Thompson scoring for the home side in what was a comfortable victory at The Den. Wednesday fell to defeat in midweek, going down 1-0 against Stoke City to a late goal from Wednesday have won five on the spin at Hillsborough - our best run in 9 years!! That includes a run of three successive clean sheets on home soil, and five in their last six. Birmingham, by comparison, have failed to score in three of their last five away games. -------- ------- ----------------------WEDNESDAY------------------ Wednesday Boss Neil Thompson may be tempted to make some changes on the back of the late loss last time out, in which the Owls put in a lacklustre performance, particualy in the second half where several players looked "leggy". However, in the main he's stumbled on a side and set up which has been getting results and may be tempted to let them "put it right". Wednesday possible: Westwood Lees Dunkley Urhoghide Harris Shaw Hutchinson Bannan Reach Rhodes Paterson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- BIRMINGHAM ------------------ Birmingham, went with Scott Hogan and Lukas Jutkiewicz in attack against Millwall after losing Sam Cosgrove to injury. City, who have failed to score in eight of their last 11 matches, are almost certain to be without Cosgrove once again at Hillsborough. Jonathan Leko and Ivan Sanchez will be hoping for a place in the XI after being named among the subs in midweek. Birmingham City possible: Etheridge Valery Dean Friend Pedersen Harper Sunjic Leko Halilovic Bela Hogan ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FORM GUIDE Wednesday form: L-W-W-L-W-L Birmingham form: L-D-D-L-L-L ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AS IT STANDS... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 25 7 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Dobson Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Thanks m’lud as always! Absolutely critical game - but the Bannan news could inspire the boys. 6 successive home wins? That couldn’t happen surely? Perhaps this time it will - fingers & toes crossed. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Could be the trigger for the great escape. Come on lads. UTO! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Bonvin Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Excellent post again Milord. Short and sweet. Which reminds me. Bannan, in his first game since signing the new contract. I’m hoping he reminds us why we have Ben wanting him to stay (well most of us anyway). As for Birming, well eleven matches without a win eh? I’m not going to say it, but surely not tomorrow. One thing is for certain, it won’t be a free flowing game festooned with goals. Up the Owls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lime Tree Heros Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Great OMDT as ever M'Lud. Hmm - the two worst attacks in the league go head to head - 42 goals in 59 games - I'll stick my neck out and say it won't be a 7 goal thriller... Despite that negativity, I'll go with a back to basics, slightly nervy 1-0 Wednesday win - Reach with a peach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I knew they where on a bad run but didn’t realise it was as bad as no win in 11. We have to take advantage of a team on such a bad run for once. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watto Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 What people are failing to see is that Birmingham's away form is the 10th best in the division as is our home form , I can't see us getting a 6th straight win at home with this team so a draw has got to be the expected result tomorrow . That's not ignoring Birmingham have won one in 13 and we all know what that means! A Wednesday win will be massive so please let's hope and pray we do something against the grain. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I've given up trying to predict results. It's a game we could and probably should win, considering home advantage and form. However supporting Wednesday teaches you to expect the unexpected. A win would be lovely, but not a foregone conclusion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horny owl Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 If you are a club who hasn’t won a game all year and you can’t string more than 2 passes together in any given 90 minutes of football There is ONE club you need to play against to guarantee ending your terrible losing streak Step forward Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 to Brum 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresh Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 We really need to win this game but definitely can't afford to lose it. We've been a bit like Jekyll and Hyde with our recent form but I'm backing us to secure a nervy 1 v 0 win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
