A MUST LISTEN
We’re back with essential pre-derby listening – covering Harry “Birmingham who?” Redknapp, recent results, Kodjia’s sending off, Hogans opportunity, Ross McCormack’s decline & more!
As ever plenty of ground is covered in the latest edition of the Podcast.
Don’t miss out on:
SECOND CITY DERBY
We discuss the arrival of ‘Arry Redknapp to Birmingham following the “resignation” of Gianfranco Zola, what this might mean for the game & the remainder of the season.
You’ll also hear discussion around our options with Jonathan Kodjia suspended following his sending off against Fulham.
Will this be Jack Grealish’s chance to shine? Â And if he does, is he just carving a career like Gabby? Â Whilst nobody can fault his fantastic goal at Craven Cottage, his form and contribution this term have been nothing short of underwhelming.
And what of Scott Hogan – is the derby an opportunity to work to improve his supply route?  A man bought for big bucks on transfer deadline day hasn’t had much luck to date – the second city clash is the perfect stage to change that.
FORM & FACTS
Next we cover off the recent defeats against Reading & Fulham.
This season has been up and down, but rarely have Villa looked like the finished article.
We work through the recent positive form, 2x defeats and our season at large. Â Ignoring our shortcomings would be a major oversight going into next season; but what are they? Â How does Steve Bruce solve them? And will they affect us against Blues?
