Good we need 3 below us!

Martin has lost first 2 headers against their CB... just doesn't seem to give us anything.

Tanner gives the ball away and Bents has to pull off neat save

Shots on target would be a good start!

It's like he has a clause in his contract saying he must start every league game!

fear he will...

Yes can't argue with what he says, but lets see some changes to back up those words, starting with picking no more than 2 from Wells, Martin & Weimann and giving someone like Benarous a start.

Totally agree, no point having subs if you are not going to use them. Cannot understand why NP didn't swap out any of the front 3 while it was still 0-1 and we had a chance of getting something out of the game.

How well did that work out? LJ was a bugger for trying to match up to opponents rather than playing our game and letting them worry about whether they should match us up. Hard to imagine we would have had a worse result sticking to a back 4 and 3 in midfield.

I'm not suggesting chucking them all in, but when Wells, Martin, Weimann is not working and you have options on the bench, FFS we need to use them - what it the point them being there otherwise!

Half agree, but NP picked Vyner so should the finger not be pointed at NP for doing that. We all know how weak he can be at CB, why didn't NP?

and you think they could be less effective? Rather seem them offering commitment, enthusiasm, and some pace than our seasoned pros.

Good shout

Was totally behind NPs appt but really doubting him now, we are back to playing as poorly as we did under Holden near the end of his reign. I get that we have an unbalanced squad, but I expect to see some semblance of organisation and shape. Also why not use the subs and try and inject some fresh enthusiasm from the likes of Benarous, Bell & Scott.

So when we have 62% possession but offer zero threat because Wells & Martin offer nothing and even Weimann very little today, it's not down to them? So who do you think it to blame for us offering bugger all threat all game with no attempts on target?

Yes, and those changes should have been made at HT... the youngsters on the bench could not do any worse that Martin, Wells and even Weimann tonight.

How do you know if they are not given a chance? Wells & Martin have been total cr@p.

Wells falls over his own feet to cap a totally cr@p display

now for FFS NP, gets someone on and get Martin and Wells off

route one goal for Brum, game over.

What gets me is NP is watching this, surely he can see what we can see and that is we don't look like scoring if we played 190 mins with this line-up. So change it, give Benarous, Scoot or Bell a chance.

Martin again, sooooo slowwwww

shot just over from Tanner

We do Benarous!

Wells caught offside again, get him off, offering zero threat.
