birminghamin poissaolijat!

sitten odotellaan lopullista kokoonpanoa. Saattaa olla Birminghamin puolustus helisemässä, kun hyvävireinen West Ham painostaa.

Bruce to solve injury poser


Steve Bruce has insisted he will "leave no stone unturned" to find why Birmingham are continually dogged by long-term injury problems.

The Blues chief has even hinted the club's St Andrews pitch - newly laid last summer - may be a factor.

Bruce could have up to 11 players sidelined for Monday's Premiership trip to West Ham.

The likes of David Dunn, Stan Lazaridis, Muzzy Izzet and Mikael Forssell have all had spells out of action of 12 months or more, leaving Bruce in a state of despair at times.

He said: "I hate to make excuses about injuries but we have got to seriously look at why we are getting so many injuries all of the time.

"I can't put my finger on it. I have been a manager for nearly 10 years and I have been at Birmingham four years and I have never known anything like this.

"It is an unbelievable situation we find ourselves in. I will definitely leave no stone unturned to see if there is anything we can do to improve matters."

Bruce added: "We relaid a new pitch in the summer. It is something we are going to have to look into because they make pitches now much, much firmer than they used to be.

"That is why most pitches look good, and ours does for the time of year, but it is really firm and hard so maybe we will just blame it on that. Maybe it is something to do with that. Who knows?

"We will try to look at anything. Our training ground has been the same for the last three-and-a-half years so we can't look at anything there which might be to blame."

Bruce added: "If you look at the injuries we have got, most of them are muscular but two or three of them are twists. We have tried to do everything we possibly can but most times it seems to be happening in games.

"Three weeks ago we had everyone fit when we played Portsmouth. You were thinking then, 'Hallelujah - at last a full squad' and three weeks later we are down to ridiculous numbers again."

The majority of Matthew Upson, Dunn, Izzet, Chris Sutton, Neil Kilkenny, Lazaridis and Olivier Tebily are unlikely to play against the Hammers while Emile Heskey and Damien Johnson are suspended.

But DJ Campbell and Martin Latka are eligible after missing the FA Cup replay win over Reading as Birmingham look to cut the six-point gap between themselves and fourth-bottom West Brom.

West Ham - Birmingham 1.95 - 4.50
Home win! (1.95) They have won 6 consecutive league wins, W Ham, and this should be their 7th.(1.95) Squad wise, no problems at all. Birmingham fielded a strange team against another strange team in mid week. I am talking about the FA - cup replay between Birmingham and Reading. The Birmingham coach Bruce had no choice - a full team on the sidelines, but Reading chose to field an alternative side. The trouble for Birmingham is the fact that most of the absent regulars remain just that, absent, and Birmingham will come with a weakened side to Upton park, (no Heskey, Izzet, Dunn, D Johnson, Lazaridis, Upson, Cunningham and so on) and this will not work, against the hot Hammer side. Home win! (1.95)
