Birmingham v Blackburn Preview
Dec 15th, 2009 | By KevB8ll | Category: Blues News, Kev's Ramblings, MatchesWe continued our good run, with a 1-0 victory over West Ham. Lee Bowyer with another goal.
Tuesday evening sees us playing Blackburn in the Sky TV game.
Blues are expected to name an unchanged side AGAIN! What is happening? We always appeared to have players injured under Trevor Francis – do you remember the knee epidemic? Bruce had a fair share of injuries too – but this season… well!
We play Blackburn for the first time since our 4-1 victory the last game of the season May 2008. Jerome bagged a brace, however it wasn’t enough for us to avoid the drop. This game was famous, or infamous, for the board getting abuse after the game. I suspect win, lose or draw – that won’t happen this time!
Blackburn have a few injury worries. Dunn who has missed their last three games with the injury he picked up against Stoke, is not expected to feature. Vince Grella is also expected to be out.
Blackburn are unbeaten in their last 3, with 3 draws. Their last win was a 2-0 victory over Bolton, Big Sam’s old side.
I believe that if we win, that would be our best ever run in the Premier League with 5 wins in a row. The thing is, from what I have seen, Blackburn are very well organised. I doubt we will get another result like last time against them. We will have to work very hard to get the 3 points, but to be fair, the side are doing that at the moment. I just wished that we could convert a few more of the chances we are making!
Anyway, I think our winning streak will end Tuesday evening – but we will pick up a point. Prediction 0-0.
