Three nil. We not great at defending them.

Let’s see, last three halves we have created very little. Three subs at half time suggests NP is far from happy.

Easy game for Birmingham so far, played entirely on their terms. Cancel us out, wait for set pieces, profit. We seem usable to change the shape of the game at all.

Poor really. Ended the losing run I suppose but the shallowness of our squad coming through somewhat. Vyner good pretty much throughout.

Coventry seem to have had the ‘come on lads, they are there for the taking’ half time chat.

Played ok, edged it, but both sides created very little good chances really. Coventry will be happy enough and both sides will feel it’s there to be won.

Better in the second half and made a game of it at least. Far from great however and QPR managed to keep us at arms length pretty much whilst still carrying a threat. Too many players not quite at it today. Andi looked like he may have been carrying a knock. No complaints about the final score at all. Ho hum.

Hans booked in his first minute.

Will end up as an og? Who care I guess, other than maybe Wells. However poor we have been that could have been 2-2 if TC had passed. Could of, would of, should of I guess.

Game on?

Take a point.

As bad a half as we have had these season. Up to the first goal maybe edged it, but since then battered really. Too many players making mistakes, just a really bad day at the office. Overall maybe lucky to be just the two down. Ho hum. Hopefully we are better second half. Looked a very poor side in that 45.

He did. Playing in a role he knew, not wingback like v Italy.

If you are going to play Saka, play him in his natural position.

That last one thought the German played it back? Anyhow, showed when we are positive we can actually play. Will Southgate unleash the beast?

Not dull is it!

Pope. You nincompoop.

Great comeback. Well played England. So good when on the front foot. Why are we this way so rarely.

England pen? Yes! (made contact with the ball?)

It’s Germany. Don't like losing to Germany. Sako and Mount suddenly got the crowd going. Funny old game.

Get in. Great goal.

We set up in a certain way, and I agree with your analysis completely, but up to then we were creating the odd chance and I thought Germany were pretty poor. Now 2-0, and that one was coming. Good finish mind.

Not sure it was deserved, I would have said up to them we had created the few chances in the game. Certainly more than edging it now. I am just waiting for GS to make his usual subs to swing the game,

Feel for him at a human level, but that was all on him. First shot on target by Germany I think.

Nailed on pen
