Birmingham v Swansea Sat 13 Jan 15:00
Today is our first league match under new head-coach Luke Williams.
He has had a week to prepare the team following his appointment the day before our FA Cup win over Morecambe last Saturday.
Coincidentally Birmingham have a new manager too, the experienced Tony Mowbray, fresh from his recent shock dismissal at Sunderland.
Birmingham’s previous manager Wayne Rooney was fired recently after only three months in charge and winning only 2 of his 15 matches at the helm.
Swans have several players missing through injury, Key, Walsh and Abdulai amongst them. Two players have returned from loan spells though, Brandon Cooper and Josh Thomas, and could be included in the match day squad.
Hard to predict the outcome of this one with both teams having a new leader and the benefit of the new manager “bounce” effect.
A draw would do us nicely, thanks.
