I watched him close last night.
He was slow, but not as slow as the Wet Spam game. So, that was a good sign of progress. He held the ball up better, but his lay-offs need more work, or his teammates are not on the same wavelength. In any rate he was giving Derby some grief, but Derby is not exactly a reference these days. I think he's coming back, but really slowly.
I expect Kohli to start with Smyth and Poku up front. With Kone coming on at the 60-minute mark, as he did against Derby.
Edwards will be in the middle, with JCS back. This will allow Madsen and Kamara to hopefully control the middle. Later on in the game, Edwards can move to RB and Adamson to LB when Kemper gets tired. This would allow Vale or Varane to come on for Kemper, depending on how the game is going.
Having the Vale of Arryn, Old King Kone, and our favourite Chair to sub on would be an awesome set of subs. |  |

It is more than nonsense Norf - madness........I just do not understand it, all very strange.
Saturday - There you have an, apparently, unfit Kone (Not sure he is BTW) and not playing too well so you bring him on at B'ham and leave Obikwu on the bench - why would you do that?? |
He is either unfit or he has been a naughty boy  |  |
| AND WHEN I DREAM , I DREAM ABOUT YOU AND WHEN I SCREAM I SCREAM ABOUT YOU!!!!! | | Poll: | best number 10 ever? |

Madsen got a kick on his ankle against Derby. He hobbled for a bit, then ran it off. I'm sure Clive's report will address the injury and fitness issues. Apparently, Birmingham fielded the same team as midweek; we seem to be continually resting players, whether that's taking players off after an hour or players can't play successive games. It would be a shame if the promise of this squad is affected by the same issues we've seen in the last couple of seasons. |
Birmingham have used their most used 11 players for 86% of all available minutes so far this season which is the most in the league. We've used ours for 72% which is 18th. Those 11 players have already played 1,562 minutes more than ours between them.
Their 9th most used player - Carlos Vicente - has played more minutes than our 4th most used player, Harvey Vale.
Maybe that's all down to luck. Maybe it'll catch up with them over Christmas. Maybe their bench is crap and we have a more balanced squad... Or maybe they're fit as fk and robust and we're not. |  | | |

Our 9th most used player passed in his sleep, whilst in a non contact dream. |  |
| Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?
