Guirane N’Daw

Off to Partizan – the Braga Preview

Match previews sponsored by EZE Group - Lifestyle Experts

Wednesday marks the final away game of the Europa League Group stage, and what is potentially Blues’ last trip into Europe for a while – win or draw and we could be back on tour in February in the knockout rounds; lose and that is most likely to be it.

Goals, Goals, Goals? BCFC v Peterborough preview

Match previews sponsored by EZE Group - Lifestyle Experts

Tomorrow sees the return of the Championship to St Andrews with the visit of Peterborough United. It’ll have been three weeks since the last home league game and sixteen days since the thrilling draw against Club Brugge, so I suspect I won’t be the only fan chomping at the bit to watch Blues in action again.

Don’t close the N’Daw on Guirane

There’s been a bit of talk online about the supposed three players to leave in January, and who they might be but one player I’ve not seen mentioned is Guirane N’Daw. Our Ivorian central midfielder is on loan from Saint-Etienne until January only – and although Blues have the option to keep him for the remainder of the season I wonder if they will.

Can Blues Stop the Seagulls to Make it Seven? Brighton Preview

It’s been some time since we last played Brighton and Hove Albion – sixteen years in fact since the last league meeting – and both sides have gone through some changes in that time. The Seagulls come to Blues having made a decent start to the season under Gus Poyet, and with Blues on fire formwise recently it promises to be a good fixture.

Sticking with what we have

Talking Points sponsored by John Hicken Industrial roofing and cladding materials

One question that has cropped up a bit recently on Often Partisan has been about potential loan signings. With loan season well and truly in full swing there seems to be an expectation from a section of the Blues fanbase that Birmingham City will dip it’s toes into the market and bring in another player or two on a temporary deal. I’m going to be controversial and say that I don’t think Blues need to sign any more loan players.

Positives in defeat

Talking Points sponsored by John Hicken Industrial roofing and cladding materials

Well, it wasn’t a cricket score. Although Birmingham City have now fallen at their first hurdle in the defence of the Carling Cup, it’s not anywhere near as bad as it could have been; if anything Blues have come out with a bit of credit from the fans who did go and we’ve one less thing to worry about in our action packed season.
