Not publicly no, and I don't think Jon has mentioned that he can't play either. We all just assume that he won't be able to, based on the "norm" for loan deals.
Remember David Seal playing and scoring against Bristol City whilst on loan. Only example I can think of. |

I think Birmingham would be pretty stupid to let Roberts play, not because I think he could win the match for us but whatever he does, where's the plus for Birmingham? Why risk it? They may though, who knows. I think in Seal's case we had agreed to sign him permanently (and for a fee) at the end of the season, which may have had something to do with Bristol's decision.

A few years back when I lived in Bristol, I used to play football and indoor cricket at a Sports Centre where he was the manager. He seemed fond of his time at Sixfields and recounted some fans at one away game (possibly Southend) waving around inflatable seals. Perhaps the 1999 version of 'Geema Day' or 'JJOT Day'. |

Did we let O'Toole play against us when we loaned him out?

As I recall, a couple of the lads had won them a few weeks prior, at Alton Towers.  |

Yeah. A 2-0 defeat at Roots Hall with Jordan Archer being sent off. |

I think I'm correct in saying we have the same players available as for the Kettering game?  |

Well they say don't change a winning side so maybe we should send Tuesday team out again.
I think anybody looking at this game would regard it as a home banker and it would be a major surprise if we came away with any points but we were thinking that when we went to Huddersfield. We would need to score as the only game B'ham have failed to score in was their 0-1 loss at Charlton. Looking on their forum at the score prediction thread they can't decide if they will get 3,4 or 5 but so far they have not scored more than 3 in a game but in 8 of their 12 games have scored 2 or more. Rather surprisingly they have only kept 3 clean sheets, the same as us, but 2 of these were in their last 2 home games and they have only conceded more than 1 goal in a game twice.
JB will probably have the same squad as last week as we have not been told of any of the injured returning. Waghorn is our only fit striker, other than Dobson, so it will be interesting to see if he is in the starting 11 as he won't last 90 minutes. As we expect to have a lot of defending to do will JB stick with a back 4 or play 3 centre backs?
For those not travelling if you want to watch a early kick off in our division there is a choice of the bottom of the table clash between Burton and Shrewsbury, both teams are managerless and Sean Parish may take temporary charge of the shrews. The other game is Wrexham at home to Mansfield.

Hoping for a good day out, punctuated by some football. A result would be brilliant but if we fail in that I’d understand, as injuries aside competing against a team that’s spent in excess of £30 million this season is a challenge.
That said a cheeky 1-0 win would be perfectly acceptable.

A lot of that is very close to the truth .. |

I'm impressed by that. Perhaps he'd like to analyse our redev thread, see who he's got winning that one. |

Bloody students with their slide rules, and too much time on their hands. Whatever happened to getting up at noon, in time for Teletubbies and Marc n Lard in the afternoon? |

Depends on your own analytical skills. He makes no mention of the defence improved display against Stockport! No mention of Hoskins - fair enough. It all has the superior air of a young fan basking in high investment plus some expensive players. I have seen and experienced such teams basking in the lime light of a league they are expected to waltz to anticipated promotion. He certainly castigates the Cobblers as a poor team with many issues. Still pride comes before a fall. Yet he fears Eaves and we are not sure he can even play. I hope Hoskins can play as he is such a reliable team player; even better if only for a day Hoskins can discover his ability to volley the ball we might make a game of it! I am going in the hope we can win or even a draw; not for me the delights of B'ham City Centre. Beer or no Beer I wish the team well! |

On our way and looking forward to a cracking day.
You do wonder how many we would have sold if we were given more than 2,300!

I think our possession % could be rather low but teams with a high possession % often get caught on the break hope we have some forwards to do it.
