Thanks Richard, appreciate the comment and kind words mate. Looking like a good battle at the top of the table this year and I think Wycombe have taken most by surprise. All the best 👍🏻👍🏻
It will be really interesting to see what Chris Davies decides to do both in terms of the starting 11 and who he puts on the bench. I'm really looking forward to the return of Scott Wright, so hopefully, he's not too far away. We definitely have some good options at the back. It's very clear that Chris Davies has his preferred starting 11 and his favourites to include in the squad. I would really like to see Yokoyama on the bench. He's has made more of an impact than not when he's played and he's an exciting player to watch. We have a couple of players not showing the best form in May and Willumsson. But i think that they will both start at 9 and 10 respectively but i personally would pick Leonard at 10 and put Willumsson on the bench. I really hope that Anderson is fit. If he's not, then i was impressed by how well Hansson did on the right so i wouldn’t be against him starting. I really hope Dykes gets off the mark in the league asap. He tries really hard and he deserves a goal and it will do him the world of good. I don't think we play to his strengths but he also just needs a bit of luck and i think once he gets one, whilst he won't be prolific, he will get more than a few. Hopefully, Blackpool will come to play as that suits us and it's easier to play against but of course comes with more of a risk of conceding but i think we have the character and confidence to be able to deal with conceding or falling behind given the results of late and for the most part this season. We've had a few disappointing performances and results but that's football. Overall we can't really have any complaints. I mean just look at the table!! I'm going to go Blues 3 - Blackpool 0. The winning run will continue, and with our biggest winning margin in the league so far this season. Hopefully, there's no fog//mist, but if there is then the club are mindful of this, and if needs be leave off the fireworks with the only fireworks we see, is from the performance from the Blues players on it. KRO 💙
Thanks Richard, really appreciate the comment and thoughts and agree on all of it really mate. Roll on tomorrow for hopefully another 3 points. We’ve gone slightly closer with a 2-1 and 1-1 but I’ll certainly take your 3-0 😁 KRO! :)
@BCFCRoyalBlue I know. I do watch and listen before I like and comment 🤣🤣 The forecast looks good for the afternoon, so hopefully, the weather forecasters have got it right!! I'm looking forward to my Cruzcampo before the game, and hopefully, I'm not questioning my masculinity 🤣🤣. I feel like the man equivalent of Pinocchio. Do I need to drink neck oil to become a real man 😆🤣🤣🤣🤣 #PositiveMasculinity KRO 💙
@BCFCRoyalBlue Well.... I didn't want to be saying this but well done Gary you called the draw. The draw on reflection was a good result given the horrible injury to Buchanan and how poorly we played and how well Blackpool played. I look forward to yours and Matt's thoughts on the performance and the result. There were some questionable decisions made by Chris Davies. We definitely need to see a big improvement, but we're still top of the league, so it's not a bad way to end 2024 😁 Glass definitely half full and I'm looking forward to 2025. Happy New Year to you both. KRO 💙
Going for a 2-1 win but Blackpool scoring 1st making it difficult and a nervous game. Leonard deserves a run in the team now, play him in Thors spot as he looks a little fatigued. If we get the lead take Iwata off at the half and throw on Gardner Hickman. Enjoy the game Gents. KRO
I hope someone from the club is watching this. Ditching the fireworks in the fog is a great idea - the first 5 minutes of the Burton game was hopeless. I think Thor needs a rest/reset. He has shown some great touches but has looked out of sorts for much of the last two games. Also I'd like to hear your opinion on why a 6'3" giant always leaves the box to receive a short corner, then the ball is crossed for Stanno & May to jump ?!. With Wycombe winning, I don't think CD will have the luxury of resting too many and expect a strong line up, although it would be good to see Scott Wright come off the bench perhaps. I'm watching this one from hospitality with the missus and looking forward to another mundane 2-0 drubbing. Great Podcast guys KRO
For a big man, Willumsson isn't great in the air and I think that's why he's not in the box when corners are taken be that him making himself available for the short corner or on occasion taking the corner. Heading is clearly an area of his game that he needs to work on, especially given his physical height. Stansfield on the other hand is great with his head. Finding space and having great technique. I don't think corners are a particularly strength of our game. Willumsson doesn't start for me today. I would like to see Leonard play at 10. But I think Chris Davies will pick Willumsson or he might go with Harris who is a player he really likes. Harris needs a big performance in a Blues shirt but it must be difficult when you don't get a regular run in the side, but he's not done enough as it stands to warrant a starting place. A good day for hospitality. Enjoy. KRO 💙
I think that the reason StAns is a bit down on atmosphere is because we expect to beat a lot of these teams by a large margin. We expect to beat some clubs 5 or 6 nil. As that isn’t happening, the fans are a touch nervous because the margins aren’t comfortable. I was at the Burton game and without certain blocks, the singing was very weak. I bet if we smash a team, the volume will be huge. Your channel is great and you are both excellent at your jobs. Your knowledge is high and you do your research. Well done lads. KRO
Interesting thoughts mate, thank you for sharing. I think we can all admit it does feel a bit flat this season but also what’s exciting about a team coming to St Andrews and putting 11 men behind the ball? Doesn’t inspire a loud crowd 🤣 Thanks for the kind words, it’s really appreciated. KRO! :)
Id be interested to see a front line of Stanno, Emil in the 10 and Keshi on the right or Yoko, Stanno in the 9 and Keshi or Yoko on the right going in a Robben style. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas 💙
Thanks Paul, will look at doing this moving forward. We do highlight often their key players and areas of danger but happy to discuss if we think they would make an addition to our squad. KRO! :)
Some great research as always, guys. I’m with Gary on this one, I think we’ll go one down early and come back to get a point. Also, despite his assist against Burton, I think Thor has dropped off in recent games and probably needs a re-charge, and personally would like to see Mark Leonard in the No10 position for this one.
Neck oil ? I run a pub in Macclesfield l took neck oil and shipyard off bpth terrible drinks we in lagers do Morretti. Cruzcampo . Amstell . Coors and fosters =( yuk ) anyway more importantly blues to win against a dangerous team and keep the run going love your podcasts thank you as l cant get down from here on Saturday's KRO FEA
We love neck oil. Cruzcampo is also on offer but not a huge fan of this to be honest. A few and I’m mega gasy 🤣 Thanks for the kind words mate, really appreciated and hopefully another 3 points to keep the momentum going. KRO! :)
Great discussion. I think this game will be exciting one. However not easy! May desperately needs a goal! Was rested a bit for this game. I believe he will rotate with Dykes at some stage during the game. A crunch two games against dangerous opponents. Davis selection is vital to get it right. Hopefully Keshi is fit. KRO from Brazil 🇧🇷. 3-1 win fingers crossed 🤞
I prefer him as he whips in early crosses behind their back line this puts any team under pressure which we need more of to score more. We need to stop delaying our balls in the final third.
I agree this will be a tough game . At the end of the day we have by far the better players we just have to have a positive attitude and take the game by the scruff of the neck and be aggressive and play with speed . If we do that we will win fancy Iwata to crash one in today KRO Gary & Matt .
Hi guys another good podcast, I agree think this we be an extremely hard game,Bruce will definitely want something out of this game especially after the stick he got after going to manage you know who! .A draw would not be the end of the world , but hopefully we will carry on the run and pick up another 3 points.Think Thor needs a rest looks a little off the pace at the moment, would bring Leonard in to that position.May got quite a bad knock right at the end of the match so might not be available , think up front is definitely an area we need to look at strengthening in January.Trust in CD to get it right , after all not done to bad so far has he.KRO
Hiya garry/ matt it's a win for me 2_1 I think if we win this game it's a 7 game unbeaten run since 1920 something. hope you're both keeping well & kro
❤ 🔵 🥳 😀 YES GARY AND MATT RESPECT TO YOU BOTH I'M AT THE FANS PARK ON SUNDAY MUSIC AND 🎶 🎵 MORE YES 3 GOAL'S I HOPE TO THE ROYAL BLUES 😀 🍻 😊 🤪 HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU BOTH AND ALL BLUES FANS 🎆 🎇 👍 🥃 LOVE TO ALL FANS AT FOOTBALL CLUB 'S IN LEAGUE ONE 💙 😀 🔵 😊 ... K.R.O...
Ye, I’d agree with the Draw, I remember a couple of weeks back you spoke about the next 5 games etc, I said we’d get 11 out of the 5, and this one was down to a possible loss, but leaning to the draw… but love to be proven wrong…💙
Emily Hannson may deputie for Keshi Anderson for a 2nd. consequent time this season, unless the latter recovers from his tiredness last time out! As Emil Hannson is right footed he should have made more crosses! 🏴KRO!
With another home sell-out and our recent clean sheets that's an immediate advantage but we're then due to concede one and maybe we're then geared up to increase the goal count leading into the new year so i'm going 3-1 Blues as a realistic prediction..a bit like the Wrexham game..that's my gut feeling.KRO
Read all the comments before commenting!! Another win is my prediction, hopefully a few goals to keep the fans happy and to get the atmosphere going!! I was there when we put 7 past Blackpool years ago around Christmas and yes we end 1 down! Someone is going to get a drubbing and why not v Blackpool?? In Italy 🇮🇹 so can’t go 😞KRO 💪🏼FEA
Hopefully mate, fingers crossed for a big win but I’ll take another 3 points to keep this momentum going. We hope you’re enjoying your trip in Italy!! Thanks mate, KRO! :)
As a Wrexham fan, watching Wxm V Blackpool Live the penalty was given in thick fog, the Blackpool player raised his arms in the box like he was a goalkeeper , I watched it back and it was 50/50, was Birminghams penalty v Burton a 100% Penalty? Let’s not forget we don’t have VAR at this level Like you say don’t underestimate Blackpool very good team under Steve Bruce Great Content Guys
Thanks for commenting mate and for the kind words, it’s greatly appreciated. The blues penalty was 100% soft. We said that in the moment and also stand by it after watching it back but that handball was next level poor for me. We’ve seen a few stinkers for and against blues this season so I think this standard of refereeing comes with the league 1 territory. Tough game and Bruce will have them set up well. No doubt will a fight on our hands. All the best :)
@@FutureIsBlue-tq1xyu can definitely interpret it in that way, I could also see how some could say I’ve seen worse not given, I think sometimes it’s best to watch the whole game live to see why things are given or not given, I only had the luxury of watching the highlights
I'm a Blues fan but I have to say I was surprised when the penalty was awarded it looked more like Keshi Anderson backed into the defender, but later in the game there was a definite handball in the Burton box which the referee didn't give so maybe it evened itself out.
Good evening Chaps! So I agree with you Gary I feel a draw coming on.. although it depends what mood Stanno is in… if he is up for it then it’s a win. I just feel he looks a bit frustrated/wiped out lately maybe from all the games he is starting! I tell you what from where I sit I can see Stanno signalling for the ball to make a run into the box but it was like Williuimsson just could not see him on the last game… but yeah feeling a bit uninspired from the last game. So would not surprise me if it was a draw .. Blackpool will be chomping at the bit! KRO!
Against Burton we had loads of possession but created very little and there were a couple of times where Burton could have scored and all that possession would have been wasted. I think we need someone who will inject some creative energy into midfield, Scott Wright when fit. Not convinced about Dykes, I would much prefer Jukey to be honest for the last 20 minutes I think he should persist with starting May and Stansfield together. If I had to sum Blues up at the moment I would say, possession great, creativity poor. Still think we will win though.
Full support from me Gary - if it's your opinion give it, anybody who has a go for your honest opinion should maybe hit the reset button. If Anderson doesn't play I would rather see Stansfield right & Hanson left, my preference would be Cochrane on the left as well. Am hoping to catch a live stream but not confident as couldn't get to see the Burton game although gave it a go.
@BCFCRoyalBlue Maybe not the score but you called it Gary, its a point & another clean sheet so can live with that, did not manage to see it so not sure if it was a good point or we dropped 2 points
Absolutely no doubt we will have a few more little speed bumps this season. It’s inevitable at some point but I do feel since those changes at Exeter we are a lot more solid at the back and now less prone to conceding goals. Especially through individual errors. Thanks for commenting Graham, KRO! :)
Hi guys. May isn't scoring , that's a fact . Our forward line is lightweight enough as it is. I prefer Dykes + wingers. Definitely agree with Matt's choice of having a winger, but CD has his ideas. With wingers, it doesn't help the possession game as much. .. a draw looks likely. Hope May, if he plays, gets a couple, and shuts me up 😊. Thank you , a good break down on Brucie's lot.
Thanks Mikey, appreciate the comment and thoughts mate. This will be a tough one but feel if they come at us a bit more it might play into our hands. KRO! :)
Always enjoy the content boys keep it up but my line up for tomorrow is allsop laird klarer bielk Buchanan gardner-hickman paik Hanson Davies Stanfield dykes subs peacock-farrell Cochrane iwata Anderson khela Davies may
Imo don't mess with a proven pattern and style (until it doesn't work obvs) - so Stanno, Thor, Anderson, with May up front Only issue I have is that Thor isn't in best form atm But we should have enough, just need to get the wing positions working, real pace required, so Hansson may make a move
Completely agree mate and I guess CD will also want to keep the legs as fresh as possible with this crazy amount of games coming up. If we see changes it will based around fitness and fatigue. Let’s get those 3 points tomorrow! KRO :)
Another struggle incoming all possession and no thrust. Probably depend on a penalty or scruffy goal, though I worry if we go a goal down, It's hard enough at 0-0. Top quality teams irrespective of 10 men in defence find a way to break teams down.
We've won the last 8 games. How is that not finding a way to win? Arsenal only beat Ipswich 1 - 0 yesterday. Ipswich parked the bus. Arsenal only needed 1 goal to win the game. A goal is a goal. They count exactly the same if it's a thing of beauty, a pen, an OG or goes in off someone's backside!! Are you just one of life's pessimists or just when it comes to the Blues? KRO 💙
@@RICHP1979penaltys and off the backside goals are only temporary and you cannot keep depending on them. Luck will only get you so far, being clinical and the ability to carve teams open is much more important, because at some stage we are going to need to be. There is nothing wrong with 1-0 wins but not all the while as Northampton game shows you 1-0 is dangerous, In regards Arsenal most of their wins I can guarantee are much more clinical than 1-0. Of course I am happy with being top but there is just an ingredient missing. Whether I am a pessimist or an optimist or somewhere in between has no relevance on Blues's performances. I am expressing an opinion based on an observation which I think is also being expressed by many supporters. I am actually realist by the way
Cheers David! I think people worry about his end product and delivery but he was there against Barnsley before Cochrane got in injured so could be something he explores. KRO mate :)
Hi guys I’m with Gary here tbh, think this will be a draw Don’t ask me why, maybe it’s just my Blues DNA saying there’s no way we are getting over 50 points in 21 games 🤷♂️ Ridiculous total tbh, when we won the title in this division in 95 we won it with 89pts, if we win this game we would only need 39 points to beat that from 25 games 😂 dunno feels weird, just interesting trivia KRO
Thank you very much for your comment Ashley which is greatly appreciated. I guess it’s because we ate expected to win the very game and the fans feel the frustration when we make hard work of it! KRO!
I know a lot of people won't like this but I have not been impressed with May he started off well but he is over rated and I would prefer Dykes and Stansfield up front.
Bearing in Mind we need to rest players, with stockport coming up, this will be my starting line up for this game. Allsop TGH - Klarer - Davies - Buchannan Leonard - Paik Yokoama - Willumsson - Hanson May

Let’s not forget we don’t have VAR at this level
Like you say don’t underestimate Blackpool very good team under Steve Bruce
Great Content Guys
Thanks for commenting mate and for the kind words, it’s greatly appreciated.
The blues penalty was 100% soft. We said that in the moment and also stand by it after watching it back but that handball was next level poor for me. We’ve seen a few stinkers for and against blues this season so I think this standard of refereeing comes with the league 1 territory.
Tough game and Bruce will have them set up well. No doubt will a fight on our hands.
All the best :)
The Burton player jumped on Andersons back and it was a definite foul.
@@FutureIsBlue-tq1xyu can definitely interpret it in that way, I could also see how some could say I’ve seen worse not given, I think sometimes it’s best to watch the whole game live to see why things are given or not given, I only had the luxury of watching the highlights
I'm a Blues fan but I have to say I was surprised when the penalty was awarded it looked more like Keshi Anderson backed into the defender, but later in the game there was a definite handball in the Burton box which the referee didn't give so maybe it evened itself out.
I would play
Allsop
Bielik Klarer Davies Cochrane
Paik Iwata
Anderson Leonard Stansfield
May
Cheers for commenting, greatly appreciated mate. KRO! :)
Blues need to get scoring from open play a bit more. I had 2-2 on my predictions so 1-1 isn’t a bad shout mate KRO
Thanks Michael, agree we need to be scoring and testing keepers from open play more. KRO! :)
To have a natural right sided player he could trial Donovan always an option 🤷♂️
I’m a big fan on Donovan as well but I think his age means he possibly gets held back a bit more. KRO! :)
I think we'll sneak it 2-1, think squad depth is really gonna play a factor in this game
Same as me! 😃
Also feeling a closer game but a small margin win. KRO! :)
Good evening Chaps!
So I agree with you Gary I feel a draw coming on..
although it depends what mood Stanno is in… if he is up for it then it’s a win. I just feel he looks a bit frustrated/wiped out lately maybe from all the games he is starting!
I tell you what from where I sit I can see Stanno signalling for the ball to make a run into the box but it was like Williuimsson just could not see him on the last game… but yeah feeling a bit uninspired from the last game.
So would not surprise me if it was a draw .. Blackpool will be chomping at the bit!
KRO!
Thanks for the comment and thoughts Donna it’s really appreciated. Hopefully we can get another 3 points and keep the momentum going. KRO! :)
Against Burton we had loads of possession but created very little and there were a couple of times where Burton could have scored and all that possession would have been wasted. I think we need someone who will inject some creative energy into midfield, Scott Wright when fit. Not convinced about Dykes, I would much prefer Jukey to be honest for the last 20 minutes I think he should persist with starting May and Stansfield together. If I had to sum Blues up at the moment I would say, possession great, creativity poor. Still think we will win though.
Thanks John, greatly appreciated. KRO! :)
I’m saying 1-0 down blues to go on to win 2-1 ….. Alfie May and iwata ….. get ur bets on 😂😂😂😂 KRO big up
Leafield
I’ll take a win no matter which way it comes. I’ve also gone 2-1 😊
Hahaha! Love the Leafield reference. Thanks mate. KRO! :)
Full support from me Gary - if it's your opinion give it, anybody who has a go for your honest opinion should maybe hit the reset button. If Anderson doesn't play I would rather see Stansfield right & Hanson left, my preference would be Cochrane on the left as well. Am hoping to catch a live stream but not confident as couldn't get to see the Burton game although gave it a go.
Thanks very much for commenting Paul, greatly appreciated mate.
Interesting points and hope you manage to watch the game.
KRO! :)
@BCFCRoyalBlue Maybe not the score but you called it Gary, its a point & another clean sheet so can live with that, did not manage to see it so not sure if it was a good point or we dropped 2 points
@ it was a dis-jointed performance, with players out of position. We did not create enough going forward. KRO!
As usual great podcast...lets Hope we win but as dad says...sooner or later we Will draw...Hope Brucie gets a warm welcome KRO
Absolutely no doubt we will have a few more little speed bumps this season. It’s inevitable at some point but I do feel since those changes at Exeter we are a lot more solid at the back and now less prone to conceding goals. Especially through individual errors.
Thanks for commenting Graham, KRO! :)
great pod cast as usual, but im going for a 1- 0 blues win ..... KRO
I’ll certainly take that. Let’s keep this momentum and run going. KRO! :)
Hi guys. May isn't scoring , that's a fact . Our forward line is lightweight enough as it is. I prefer Dykes + wingers. Definitely agree with Matt's choice of having a winger, but CD has his ideas. With wingers, it doesn't help the possession game as much. .. a draw looks likely. Hope May, if he plays, gets a couple, and shuts me up 😊. Thank you , a good break down on Brucie's lot.
Thanks Mikey, appreciate the comment and thoughts mate. This will be a tough one but feel if they come at us a bit more it might play into our hands. KRO! :)
Agreed Mikey, May needs a goal his drought can’t continue as he looks like he is loosing a bit of his confidence!
Always enjoy the content boys keep it up but my line up for tomorrow is allsop laird klarer bielk Buchanan gardner-hickman paik Hanson Davies Stanfield dykes subs peacock-farrell Cochrane iwata Anderson khela Davies may
Cheers Paul, greatly appreciated mate. KRO! :)
Imo don't mess with a proven pattern and style (until it doesn't work obvs) - so Stanno, Thor, Anderson, with May up front
Only issue I have is that Thor isn't in best form atm
But we should have enough, just need to get the wing positions working, real pace required, so Hansson may make a move
Completely agree mate and I guess CD will also want to keep the legs as fresh as possible with this crazy amount of games coming up. If we see changes it will based around fitness and fatigue. Let’s get those 3 points tomorrow! KRO :)
What exactly does Dykes do. We need strikers asap
Thank you for your comment Paul. Dykes was poor today that is for sure. KRO!
@ Have we not got anyone better than him he is always poor . We need new forwards asap
Hi both it's time for an up tempo game and an exciting quick game , Brucy will come and have a go 3-1 KRO
Cheers Tony, greatly appreciated mate. KRO! :)
If they come and play, 5 - 0 blues. If they choose the 'low block', then 2 - 0 :)
Haha! Loving the predictions. If it’s 5-0 I’ll buy you a beer at the Lincoln FA cup match 🤣👍🏻
KRO mate :)
@BCFCRoyalBlue it's a long way for me from Weymouth to meet you guys for a free beer, but I'll see what i can do :)
Another struggle incoming all possession and no thrust. Probably depend on a penalty or scruffy goal, though I worry if we go a goal down, It's hard enough at 0-0. Top quality teams irrespective of 10 men in defence find a way to break teams down.
Thanks for commenting, greatly appreciated mate. KRO! :)
We've won the last 8 games. How is that not finding a way to win?
Arsenal only beat Ipswich 1 - 0 yesterday. Ipswich parked the bus. Arsenal only needed 1 goal to win the game. A goal is a goal. They count exactly the same if it's a thing of beauty, a pen, an OG or goes in off someone's backside!!
Are you just one of life's pessimists or just when it comes to the Blues?
KRO 💙
@@RICHP1979penaltys and off the backside goals are only temporary and you cannot keep depending on them. Luck will only get you so far, being clinical and the ability to carve teams open is much more important, because at some stage we are going to need to be. There is nothing wrong with 1-0 wins but not all the while as Northampton game shows you 1-0 is dangerous, In regards Arsenal most of their wins I can guarantee are much more clinical than 1-0. Of course I am happy with being top but there is just an ingredient missing. Whether I am a pessimist or an optimist or somewhere in between has no relevance on Blues's performances. I am expressing an opinion based on an observation which I think is also being expressed by many supporters. I am actually realist by the way
@BB49. You're 100% right. I totally overstepped the mark. It wasn't my intention to offend, so I'm sincerely apologise for doing so. I'm sorry.
KRO 💙
I agree with the 1-1 draw on this one. Charlton to beat Wycombe, Wrexham to draw with Wigan.
Cheers David, greatly appreciated mate. KRO! :)
Why not laird on the right
Cheers David! I think people worry about his end product and delivery but he was there against Barnsley before Cochrane got in injured so could be something he explores. KRO mate :)
Hi guys
I’m with Gary here tbh, think this will be a draw
Don’t ask me why, maybe it’s just my Blues DNA saying there’s no way we are getting over 50 points in 21 games 🤷♂️
Ridiculous total tbh, when we won the title in this division in 95 we won it with 89pts, if we win this game we would only need 39 points to beat that from 25 games 😂 dunno feels weird, just interesting trivia KRO
Thanks Charley, this is really interesting when the figures and stats are laid out like this. We truly are having an unbelievable season. KRO! :)
3.1
Will take this! KRO :)
Atmosphere has been poor this year, KOP is so quiet.
Thank you very much for your comment Ashley which is greatly appreciated. I guess it’s because we ate expected to win the very game and the fans feel the frustration when we make hard work of it! KRO!
I’m going for a 2-2 draw KRO
Cheers Darren, greatly appreciated mate. KRO! :)
I know a lot of people won't like this but I have not been impressed with May he started off well but he is over rated and I would prefer Dykes and Stansfield up front.
Thanks for commenting John, greatly appreciated mate. KRO! :)
Bearing in Mind we need to rest players, with stockport coming up, this will be my starting line up for this game.
Allsop
TGH - Klarer - Davies - Buchannan
Leonard - Paik
Yokoama - Willumsson - Hanson
May
Thanks very much John, greatly appreciated. KRO! :)
I aim bringing a 21 year old lady friend for her first ever football game, block 40 as well so its bound to be a draw!!!
We hope you both enjoy the game mate. Hopefully another 3 points to keep this momentum going. KRO! :)
BLUES 1 - 1 BLACKPOOL
That’s the same score I’ve gone for Frank! KRO!
Birmingham 1 Blackpool 0
Thanks Stephen. A few have gone 1-0 blues and I can see why. KRO! :)
