Birmingham City away match day thread

[old_eastender]

I think for 2nd half we need to get Benarous on to carry the ball, and take off either Martin or Wells.

[Super]

Stop giving away free kicks ffs

Totally true, but makes it almost worst tbh.

[Bobbie]

Bakinson has contributed far more, defensively and offensively, than James. Not criticising James but funny how certain player attract criticism.

If he’s fit enough to be on the bench then he should be starting,  he’s our best player by miles

As others have said - we don’t why Massengo isn’t starting but at a guess he’s being protected having suffered a hamstring injury.

Worth risking a 20min cameo rather than risking an entire game.

[Super]

Bents lucky there

[YGBjammy]

We are so lucky Weimann stayed with us. Him and Bents are head and shoulders above the rest

[Unan]

We can’t defend crosses for ******* shite, what is wrong with us?

Atkinson has came from non league but it appears he can’t head a football.

how that foul was not a yellow for brum I don;t know

[Tomo]

Bakinson is playing quite well if your watching the game... 

[Desso]

Doing our best to lose this. Several shooting opportunities not taken.

We do know why, it’s exactly what you suggest

As you say, Bakinson can shoot from distance, but doesn't try it enough.

Their goal is a perfect example of what can happen by trying your luck from range. 

We always try and pass it into the box before considering a shot. 

It can happen but it's a once per season thing. It's rarely an efficient use of the ball compared to trying to work a better opportunity

[The Original OTIB]

2 very evenly matched teams toiling with little quality. Could go either way.

Curtis Fleming said he's rested, runs 11k per match

Over and out.

Too many W@nkers on this thread.

Bakinson has been pretty wasteful up front, and hasn't tracked once or twice which is disappointing.

He's also been available a lot, and seen a lot of the ball and done some good things.

Not awful, not great imo. At least he's getting on the ball and trying to play with it!

Nuance? Balance? An opinion that considers multiple factors? 

What is this madness!?!?

It's been the poor quality game that many predicted. We're relatively poor, and teams struggling to really click. That means that the game will be decided by single moments of luck, talent, or hotheadedness. 

So far we've suffered the luck, but this Birmingham defence has its weaknesses. 

[Ska Junkie]

Blimey Jay, I was just gonna praise you.

one less now then

[mozo]

Vyner, Wells and Bakinson doing a job so far.

Weimann, DaSilva and Tanner a bit under par for me.

I could see us scoring, but also could see us conceding. So we'll lose 1-0 

[Kodjias Wrist]

Maybe we get a penalty for once.

[Alan Dicks]

I’d love to know exactly what they do in training every week?

Yep- one less now

[ExiledAjax]

Nice cross by Dasilva. He's had some joy on the left, has been in space a few times. I think if we gave him a bit more of the ball in their half then that could be a route to a goal.

[Clevedon Red]

Is this game being played at the library what a terrible atmosphere. 

[exAtyeoMax]

I think Tyreeq is doing alright…

What a cross Dasilva. And a good ball to him by Vyner.

TB nearly on the end of it. 

[And Its Smith]

Some saying we are playing quite well shows how low expectations have got!
