Birmingham City are coming to Leeds on a Sunday bloody Sky! I grew up in the midlands in a town called Daventry and my dad and his mate Brian took me and Brian’s lads Mark and Robin to the footie at the weekend, when I say weekend I mean 3 pm on Saturday no sky in them days.
We never went to St Andrews we spent our formative years watching football at Villa Park and Highfield Road. Villa this was the Browns team and Coventry City which was closest to Daventry little did we know in the 70’s that the Sky Blues would end up in Northampton but as Jimmy Greaves who say “it’s a funny old game.”
Leeds have played Birmingham 94 times and won 34 of the ties dawning 24 and loosing 36.
Last season we played the Blues four times Losing twice winning and drawing once.
In the 2011-12 season Leeds lost both ties, we have to go back to 1995-6 to the last time Leeds did the double over the Blues.
The season so far sees Leeds in eleventh place on fourteen points after scoring only ten goals and conceding thirteen. Birmingham are in nineteenth place on ten points and have scored thirteen goals and conceding fifteen.
Our form this season is W W D D W W L W L L L L W L League games W D D W L W L L L W L
The last loss against bogie side Derby was in my opinion an embarrassment I felt totally let down by the team and their actions at the end of the game by not coming to the fans tells me that they were rightly embarrassed.
Birmingham have been in the Championship for the fourth year running managed by ex Huddersfield boss Lee Clarke
Birmingham have fared little better, there form reads L D W L L D D L L W W L W L in the league their away form is a win against Yeovil in the second week of the season this has been followed by four losses on the bounce against Leicester, QPR, Burnley and Reading. Not many easy games in that lot. So on the road they have three points and only scored once against Yeovil.
How can you predict this game Leeds not great at home Brum City poor on the road but have played the top three and Reading away. The bookies have it as Leeds just at 11-10 so you’ll not get rich. What about McCormack to score first and Leeds to win 2-1 well that’s better at 28-1.
So here goes my prediction same as every week Leeds win 3-1 @SkyBet will give you 14-1 and with Varney to score first @SkyBet will give you 60-1.
Marchin’ on together
