**Blues v Barnsley - Match Thread & Chat**

Saturday Tea Time the Tykes are at St Andrews for a match live on Sky TV.

£18.00 for an advance adult ticket in the Titon Rd (£23.00 pay on the day) means we will be in for a shocker of a crowd.

Whose going? Whose Not?

LOF for me

My prediction is 1.1. What is yours ?

[lowdham bluenose]

I am not going - it's a Saturday teatime and is live on tv.

Regardless of price, the crowd will be low. We have a low base of ST holders (about 10K ?) and the walk-ups are low. I cannot see any incentive for us walk-ups to go to this game.

I am going for a 2-1 win, nothing more. Has anybody noticed we are back to narrow victories again?

I'd go with that line up, problem is Lee Clark wont. Mullins gets the nod over Gomis Everytime

[lowdham bluenose]

If he plays Fahey then he has to play either Mullins or Gomis.

Personally I want to see Morrison.

....is Morrison Lee Clark's Zarate?

TEAM NEWS

Birmingham have first and second-choice right-backs Paul Caddis and Stephen Carr out injured and may bring in Curtis Davies as a replacement.
City could also drop Jonathan Spector back from midfield. Darren Ambrose will have a late test on a thigh injury.
John Stones will miss the game for Barnsley because of an ankle injury sustained in midweek against Blackburn.
Summer signing Toni Silva could get a first run-out as substitute after recovering from knee ligament damage.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head
• Birmingham are hoping to stretch their unbeaten run against Barnsley to five, having won two and drawn two of their last four Championship meetings.
• The 1-0 home win over Birmingham in April 2007 is Barnsley's only victory in 12 league clashes spanning 12 years.
• The Tykes have managed only two league successes in their last 18 league trips to Birmingham since October 1950, drawing six and losing 10.

Birmingham City

• Birmingham are unbeaten at home and without a win away in the Championship, and are aiming to add to a seven-point haul from the last three games.
• They have lost one of their last 26 Championship outings at St Andrews, are unbeaten in nine (5W, 4D), and looking for a third successive home maximum.
• Defeat would see the Brummies equalling their total of home league losses last term, Nottingham Forest being the only club to take three points off them.

Barnsley

• The Tykes are chasing their third league victory of the season, having claimed only three wins in 21 Championship outings.
• They are without a point on the road, having conceded 10 Championship goals in three losses, and are in danger of a sixth successive away league reverse, having picked up just one point in 13 games on their travels since a 2-1 triumph at Leicester on 14 January.
• Keith Hill's side have scored one goal in each of their six Championship games so far this term.

For those without Sky - why? You cannot be a sport lover if you ain't got Sky. I could not be without it especially for delayed view or plussing in order to skip thr adverts.
