I'll stick my neck out and say i don't like it! No specialist fullbacks, the Elliot Kilkenny two man midfield that gets over-run, exposed and isn't creative as Kilkenny sits deep and Elliot can't get forward as he leaves a huge hole.. Delighted to see Stead back, we need him with our poor distribution from the defense.

We shall hope and see! Birmingham are fundamentally better all around the pitch though so i hate to be too critical even if we get beaten soundly. Settle for a point now!

These Bolasie and Taylor signings look better and better....

No suprise with Stead, full of running and effort when he's got a point to prove.

Suprised to see Cisse on the bench.

It will take a couple of matches to sort out. Looks like he been getting advise from the usual suspects. HIS team v Barnsley will be of more interest.

The forum is quite quiet this afternoon, A big attendance in store perhaps? I will have to make do with Player!

I personally don't like the defence. I would prefer to line up with Spence Fontaine Wilson McGivern. But each to his own. Hope the lads prove me wrong, must have done enough to impress in training.

Cross your fingers and hope that the defence will play above themselves today. I imagine we will try and get on the front foot from the off, hope this doesn't leave our defence wide open because that's where our huge problems are. Optimistic we can do enough for a draw today.

very odd no Cisse and Pitman...would prefer those two to start rather than Stead..but whadda I know.

Defensively Fontaine worries me

Del boy knows what to do though..

Hello OTIB.

Finally signed up after years of lurking.

Good timing to welcome the Mcinnes era.

Gutted couldn't be there today but still buzzing for first time in aages.

Nice to see Stead given a start.

COYR!

IMO

The team selection dosn't bother me, He has to pick his first 11 and then start to understand who is best for each position.

The most important thing is Motivation, Application and Confidence, I believe he will improve things all round, This will be a different set of players now.

Defending is laughable.

It's nothing new though is it. Defending was laughable last season at times even with Caulker. Millen never addressed this area in the summer, it's going to take much more than three days on the training pitch to get that right.

Del can turn this around, maybe not this game but this season for sure. We sound lively, we are not being walked over. COME ON YOU REDS!

How anyone can say DMC shouldnt be playing players here or there just amazes me, hes been at the club for 3 days for gods sake? It will take him WEEKS to find his starting 11 so there will be some experiments, cagey displays and results that wont come instantly.

Get real people

Tough match to come into for your first game. The damage has been done by Millen only getting 6 points before this game. 3 days training with this defence, thats all.

Worrying again that we haven't had a shot on target in 40 minutes.

I remember their keeper tipping an Elliot volley onto the bar :s

Millen had 18 mongths and didn't know his best team so DM will need a week at least!

Was just saying that myself. He will sort it out I am sure. Let's get behind the team. COYRs

completley agree, did anyone else hear the comment made on the radio - some guy phoned in and said we have appointed the wrong man, shouldve been robins - what a **** !

It will take a while to sort but Del will come good

Unfortunately we have a squad of weak, gutless losers.

It's so easy for Birmingham

What an incredible statement

How is it? We are having more of the ball going forward but they are dealing with it very easily

Agree totally.

How could I not?

We do sound to be having the better of the play.

And are struggling to make much of it, which has been one of our long standing problems.

Very easily is a little strong.

Your other post however contains emotion, opinion and not a lot of facts.

I don't want to argue with you.

That's not what I am on here for.

I do read the forum and know what a warzone it has become recently.

That's your opinion this is mine.

I sure you are a decent enough bloke.

Can we leave it at that?
