I see MON was at the Fulham v Blackburn game today, maybe Jamie O'Hara will replace Whelan???

Encouraging that he's looking at Duffy!

He plays a similar position I think, defensive midfielder, he has 2 goals and 2 motm this season so he is in fine form.

It's highly unlikely (and probably rightly so) that he'd jump ahead of the four midfielders cut from our last squad in time for the Germany game, namely Pilkington, Judge, Arter and O'Kane. Gibson might also be back in the fold.

Dunno if Arter will be back I think the manager said about 4 weeks, so it will be close, if Arter is back he is likely to play I think given he is
considered better than O'Kane, or was, They will just have to look at who is in best form nearer the match. O'Kane's stats for the last
match were poor 4.04!
But Gleeson is flying high in the Championship stats at the moment, as is Judge, the others not so much, if it continues like that
he should be considered.

Birmingham City midfielder Stephen Gleeson has been nominated for August’s Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month Award.

Gleeson has impressed in the middle of the park and capped off a string of fine performances with two goals against Derby County and MK Dons.
The 27-year-old found the net in Blues’ 1-1 draw with Derby with a long-range effort before opening the scoring delightfully at Stadium mk.

He is playing tonight v Forest, already has a yellow card so he is getting stuck in

0-0 HT

terrible cross from Gleeson this weekend: https://twitter.com/Ar_Championship/...99077513990145

Scored while ago to give Birmingham the lead against Middlesbrough. Boro have equalised since after a howler from the Birmingham goalkeeper. It was what's become a typical Gleeson goal I suppose, a shot from outside the box. I'd say he couldn't believe the space he found himself in after the ball was headed clear by the defender. A rocket of a shot after a nice first touch to tee himself up. The keeper got a hand to it and maybe could have done better but there was a lot of power in it.

Odd one this.

Gleeson left out through injury before the Intl break, but has since returned from injury and subsequently being left out of the squad entirely yet again.

Reece Brown's creativity preferred.

“I just felt as though Reece has done so well - and if you are going to change games sometimes, particularly if you are chasing games,” Rowett said.

“With Dave Davis already in the team we had three central midfielders that know the role and can do the same role.

“I felt for me to bring Glees into the 18 would be me doing it just because he is a senior player, the right thing to do was to keep Reece involved in the squad.

Thought he was doing quite well for them.

Bloody foreign managers.

He had been linked to Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds, and Reading last month. I wonder did he put a few noses out of joint by perhaps expressing a wish of wanting to get away as he had been doing well.
