    Would be great to get through and draw a big premier league team ( or villa :) ). I think that'd be a nice reward for the owners as well as the fans. Have a great weekend guys! KRO

    Hopefully Leonard and yokahma get a start tomorrow, still like to see us play three centre halves as well, we look a lot more solid at the back with that formation against Exeter.

    • @BCFCRoyalBlue
      @BCFCRoyalBlue  Місяць тому +1

      Thank you for your comment Paul which is greatly appreciated. We looked really solid with the three centre halves against Exeter and hopefully Chris Davies will use that as a template for future games.
      The team selection for Blackpool will be interesting but I think Leonard will definitely start. KRO!

    Hi both. I enjoyed the show very much. Changes for sure on Saturday. Regarding Sanderson's future. I remember Kevin Long, and believe ( amongst other things) that his departure cost us championship status ultimately.
    Really wanting Scott Wright to return as Keshi is not the same standard in truth.
    Thank you for all of your regular hard work.

  • @RICHP1979

    I think it's really important to win, winning is the mentality that we want at Blues regardless of the competition and opposition, we want to give it our best go and win as many games as we can. The FA cup is still magical to me despite all of the changes that we've seen of late and teams playing weakened teams over the years.
    It's that difficult balancing act of trying to give others minutes and not disrespecting the competition by playing a weakened side. It's a tough one.
    I guess there is an argument to suggest that a mixture of regulars starters and not would be a good compromise.
    Winning is a momentum that we all want to see, so building on the Exeter game in readiness for the bread and butter of the league and a massive game against Stockport.
    It will be interesting to see what Chris Davis does.
    I'm going for a Blues win and the mouthwatering prospect of a cracking 3rd round draw and see how our strongest 11 shapes up against a team who has a similar style to ourselves.
    KRO 💙

    • @BCFCRoyalBlue
      @BCFCRoyalBlue  Місяць тому +2

      Couldn't agree more about the power of winning and getting that momentum Richard, it's really important. I also want to get a cracking 3rd round draw. Get a real big test from a top team just to see how we do. I think we would do okay as they wouldn't park the bus and play into our hands by creating space at the back. Would be interesting...
      Thanks Richard, KRO! :)

    • @RICHP1979
      @RICHP1979 Місяць тому +2

      @BCFCRoyalBlue We'll probably get knocked out by Blackpool 😆🤣🤣 jokes aside. Like I said, I see us winning and looking forward to the 3rd round draw.
      I hope we get a really good home tie. A tough test in which we can see what we're made of and we can play our part as fans as the 12th man!
      KRO 💙

    I’m sure it will be more of an open game Blackpool will have no chance if they play a low block,it will help blues if they do come out we will win.

    • @BCFCRoyalBlue
      @BCFCRoyalBlue  Місяць тому +1

      I really hope they come out as I feel this plays into our hands. If they play a low block it’s a case of trying to break them down and possibly getting caught with a long ball. Much rather an open and exciting game Sunday 😊

  • @AussieBrum
    @AussieBrum Місяць тому +1

    For what it is worth I believe that CD will go with his strongest line-up and for two main reasons. 1. The squad is super fit and this is the beginning of a glut of fixtures. 2. He wants a 3rd round tie against a Championship or Premier league opponent, so he can showcase Blues and his style of play. I believe that any rotation is not necessarily needed just yet.

      Thank you for your comment David which is greatly appreciated. I would love to see that happen but I just don’t see it. Some premier league clubs are rumoured to be interested. He would not want it need to come down to league one and also how would £20 million impact on our financial position moving forward. For me there are too many variables to make it happen in January.

    Steve Bruce got us promoted, relegated and promoted again. In the end I think he and then his No 2 Eric Black just ran out of ideas. Other than when we finally got promoted to the PL, I think my favourite time was when we were back in the Championship with him. We had so many forward options and Gary McSheffrey was on fire that season and of course assisted by DJ Campbell, Cameron Jerome and Nicklas Bendtner (anyone remember the 5-1 win against Newcastle?). The main thing that I didn't like about Steve Bruce was that he had his favourites and could be quite petty in his treatment toward some players.
    On to Sunday. With the number of games coming up surely it's got to be time for few changes? the fact that we're not on Tv might help with that - would we have played such a strong side against Sutton if we haven't have been on the box.
    Finally a couple of transfer thoughts. I think we need a centre back like Kevin Long and also if Jukey isn't involved in the future we need a really big, physical and hard man forward to rough up some of the League One centre backs. Dykes doesn't look the part for me. KRO

      Thank you for your comment Chris which is greatly appreciated. Some good memories of Steve Bruce who overall did a good job for us but definitely lost his way toward the end.
