Birmingham City at home match day thread


Recommended Posts

It’s a poor half. Very poor.

Not blaming Bell, but he’s been exposed. Suspect he’ll be hooked at HT - it’s all coming down our right hand side.

Odd decision to play him RB to be honest. But we see again how hard it is to blood youngsters in defensive positions. 

Two very soft goals and it’s shut up shop time from Brum who can sit back and nullify what we’re good at which is exploiting space with running and pace.

If we can somehow sneak an early goal second half, well it’s game on. But we need to sure up at the back because 3-0 looks more likely than 2-1 at moment for next goal.

Not impressed with James so far, partly at fault for 1st goal, and too slow to move the ball when he gets in CM

Exactly. Whether he’s not fully fit or just playing badly I don’t know but he’s not doing the job of getting it off Kalas and moving it quickly. He’s not quick enough to cover the gaps behind the WB when they go as Williams is and he’s just been totally pedestrian. At times, Williams had had to drop to recieve because James isn’t moving it. We’re effectively as a result playing with Scott in CM alone. 
 

Awful first half. Only DaSilva in credit for me on that 45.

Against a team below us at kick off that  was a very painful and disturbing half we were poor everywhere, they are clearly targeting Sam Bell, Semenyo and Martin in particular have been liabilities giving the ball away repeatedly.

Certainly anticipate a reshuffle and subs at half time.

It’s a shared responsibility.

3 managers have failed to get anything other than dross from these players. The common denominator is the players.

they don’t implement a plan effectively and they make stupid individual errors, time and time again.

Yes but Pearson was supposed to be a quality manager as opposed to the other two
