Birmingham (A) - Sat 13th March 15:00 - Matchday thread

[E.G.Red]

According to RB, Harley Dean the best player for city. More Sunday league football than a Championship game.

JET scores!!!

[Lanterne Rouge]

Barnsley winning again, at Bournemouth

[ExiledAjax]

Missed the first 15. How's it looking? Two piles of crap cancelling each other out?

You have a time machine?

You are misunderstanding my point.........it doesn't matter who we put in midfield. We don't have the players in ANY combination to control a midfield unless Walsh can show us something when he gets his chance. 

I would back Walsh-Nagy-Williams to control most games. Let's hope we can see it one day.

[old_eastender]

Semenyo great run, then a poor pass to spoil it and let Brum off the hook

[Bas's perfect hattrick]

Kalas having a very solid match so far. He's really picked up his game in the last month or so

[ralphindevon]

The final fairly simple passes going astray have cist us so far 

[KegCity]

Semenyo needs to sort his composure out, seems to be the only thing holding him back.

At least it looks like we'll soon get to find out if Walsh is what people think/hope he is soon enough.

Fairly entertaining but a lack of finishing/final ball

[McNasty Filth]

Pitch looks horrendous! Easily the worst I've seen in years. It might look flat and green but the way the ball is bouncing and bobbling no wonder brum are known as long ball team at home. Passing football is not possible, groundsman should hang his head in shame

Or you could argue he's being better supported now by those either side of him so he's not been trying to play on his own at the back. 

[Rossi the Robin]

Owers on RB saying city looking pretty slick today

There's a few bad ones about this season, especially in the lower 2 leagues.

Great play by Palmer, leads to FK on the edge of the box

Yeh, when both teams are sitting on pass completion rates in the 60s, and only a shot each...tells you it's a scrappy, probably entertaining, but no-one is really producing anything.

[old_eastender]

Wells FK blocked by Mariappa!

[RUSSEL85]

Looking good for Forest Green, the fact they could be playing Sheffield Wednesday next season is incredible.

It's poor, but don't know about years .....Derby the other week was on a par!

[KegCity]

We’re looking really good so far, midfield looking well organised. Blues are terrible mind.

[Lanterne Rouge]

Impressive from Nahki chasing that pass, not so much from Fam

[myol'man]

Have Birmingham got a new Irish striker Rick O'Shae?

stupid from Fam, might at least get a corner if he doesn't needlessly shove the defender.

[Lanterne Rouge]

I like this ref, lets a lot of soft stuff go and isn`t buying the Birmingham dives.

[italian dave]

We are definitely looking a lot stronger, all across the pitch. Winning 50/50s, standing up and challenging, getting tackles in - all a contrast to last week

[Chrisbc]

One side looks poor one side looks very average.
