Percy Barton was left-half (=> DMF/CMF), centre-half or left-back, not left midfielder. Also Stoker was right-half, not right winger (he provided passes for the attackers but wasn't an attacker himself).
Lazaridis on the other hand never played as CMF, he played as LWF/LMF/LB. I'm not sure if Forsell really deserves to be in first team, there were IMO better players in Birmingham history. Also Kenny Burns had his best years at Nottingham, so I'm not really sure if he should be in first team here as well. At least Alex Govan (LWF) and Gordon Astall (RWF) should be considered for first team, Fred Wheldon shoud also be in reserves.
Btw Trevor Francis shouldn't be put as CF, he usually played as SS and should be deployed deeper in the formation. I'd also put Green as LB, he and Hall were probably the best ever SBs in Birmingham history. Womack on the other hand should rather be considered for one of the two CB positions, he was full back but in those years the full backs acted like CBs, not SBs ;)

Thanks mate for the suggestions! I always forget about RH/LH being CMF/DMF. :?
However I made all the changes a part of Forssell. I wasn't sure about him but he is in the team's Hall of Fame.
Do you think he should be replaced by Govan anyway?
I also put Larsson as RMF but I don't know if he deserves more than Johnson (who also can play as RMF).

You can add Sebastian Larsson as kick taker for everything, except penalties.

Roy Warhurst could be added to the reserves here, he was a regular starter during their best period in the mid 50s.
