A mate of mine has Plymouth as his second team.

To the following 'player' who is/has

early - Mid 20s
had a decent campaign last season in their respective position
knows they will probably have a few better teams looking at them

League 1 team, promotion favourites, great owners, bright future?

or

Established Championship team, capable of finishing top half of the table, outside chance of playoffs but probably unlikely?

(both teams can offer similar wages)

Take supporting Blues at the equation, what would you do?

Blues await Carabao Cup draw

After his brief stint as Birmingham City manager Wayne Rooney was named amongst the BBC's pundits for Euro 2024, but has now left their coverage before the tournament's end to take up his next position

There is no doubt that we couldn't have hoped for a better draw. To not have to face any of France, Spain, Germany before the final represents the best chance we could have of getting there.

When Napoleon Bonaparte was called lucky for winning battles, he apparently replied "I'd rather have lucky generals than good ones.”

Say what you like about Southgate, and I've said a lot this week, you have to admit he's a 'lucky general.' We've been massively lucky on the draw for the Euros again.

If he can just land on the right team / formation, he could, conceivably, go down in history as the best manager we've ever had - by results if not ability.

Birmingham City will have their full fixture list to hand by the end of the day

Let Foden deal with his family matter TAA at right back Palmer on the right wing Gordon on the left ahead of Walker or Shaw at left back. Mainoo next to Rice and Jude sitting behind Kane.

With at least 2000 fans in platinum and gold tiers combined alone tickets will be like gold dust

Seeing a lot of clamour for this on social media and Mainoo being the one with rice in the 8 and Foden in the 10. Dunno myself.

Also everyone saying Palmer and Gordon on the wings.

For reference rhe starting front 4 when we lost to Iceland was

Kane
Palmer
Gordon
Foden

I’m not sure how I feel about it tbh.

When the ground was first re-developed by GSB back in the mid 90s we moved from standing half way up the Kop near the half way line to seats in row 2 of Block 10.

Was often a decent atmosphere but when it rained you got soaked or would arrive to a wet seat. Have now been sat up in Block 11 for around 20 years now and had absolutely no intention of moving back down. Safe standing is absolutely nothing like it used to be standing on huge terracing.

He’s been playing with Colin this season at Metz, and got relegated ????‍♂️

Is there a list (or previous thread) of the likely ticket capacity we might get for each away league game, for next season?

No we wouldn't, people would claim so what it's only against Serbia, Denmark etc.

People act like we have always been defensive, we have been poor so far in terms of attacking players but in previous tournaments we have been pretty free scoring so again it's a bit of a joke the level of stick the manager is getting.

I do agree though we have underperformed and need to improve but I think our squad genuinely isn't all that . We all know the changes we would make but let's just hope it gets better.

CC 1st Round Draw @ 11:30am tomorrow, follow by the EFL Trophy @ 2:30pm (On Sky Sports. Live stream likely on YouTube, Twitter etc...)

Who would you want to face in the league cup?

Forest Green in Texas please
