The Potters are well known for a physical style but what kind of style are Brum likely to play?
Two fast forwards, a nice mix of hold and go in the deeper midfield with Larson & McFadden each capable of linking play and making stuff happen. Two good central defenders increase our options
With the current run taking Birmingham well inside the top half, what are the fans expectations now for the rest of the season, and beyond?
Prgamatic I think, we're enjoying the ride at the minute-it's not been the easiest couple of years: I'd like to see purposeful consolidation, well targetted and realistice development based on hard work and no show-ponies.
Are there any Stoke players you are wary of?
Most of 'em. Ryan Shawcross seems to be an awkward (in a good way!) handful. Tugay? Class act when he's cooking.
Who should we keep an eye out for?
Lee Bowyer, playing out of his skin imo
...and finally, a prediction?
Hmmmm, you're hard to beat at the Brit. I'll choke on this one and go for 2-2.
