Birmingham City away match thread

[ProfitInMyPocket]

They're pressing us instantly and looks like we're buckling under the pressure and just hooking it away.

Think teams won't let us get comfortable anymore playing out. 

Going to really need an outlet like Semenyo or Martin to hold it up if we can't play through.

Suddenly we’re joint 18th

Amazing to think 4 games ago we had a chance to go joint top had we won and now we are barely above the relegation places, how quickly things have changed but then again it would not be city if they made it easy for us would it.

Birmingham goal: https://streamja.com/20lGw

Wow. That’s embarrassing. He beat 3 of our players to that 

Our defending is disgraceful

Vyner covers well as they break after poor pass from Atkinson 

[tts_city]

chong is a handful

[bexhill reds]

Going to be one of those refs today, Brum getting everything awarded

[Rocking Red Cyril]

That's dreadfull marking

Sadly we were always in a false position . As were a fair few teams as it was early days 

We are a bottom half team with bottom half players. We have some exciting young lads coming through but our senior players really are poor

[Lanterne Rouge]

Only three Championship games without a goal after 15 minutes.

Teams seem to have worked us out and still we play the same.

One of the top scoring teams in the league, why would you change that? Let teams worry about what you can do.

It's Ok at that end, but because of our leaky defence, we have to outscore the other teams to win. Not good!

I wouldn’t say they have worked us out. Our defence is quite simply not good enough . We concede 2-3 goals every game. 
 

Our best defender lately has been Vyner and with the greatest respect to the lad, he isn’t great at this level. Atkinson is one of the slowest centre halves I’ve seen at the Gate in years, Naismith is an absolute liability ….and Kalas and Klose have both been injured 

Andy King in defence today aswell. Jesus wept 

[old_eastender]

basic ability to pass the ball forward to a teammate letting us down at the moment.

[Negan]

Just can’t seem to find any rhythm in this game at the moment. Birmingham with the early goal now look comfortable with the flow. Can see this early on we need Semenyo.

Difficult to change anything at the back right now with injuries, so what else do they do? Concentrate on the bits you do well.

[Sheltons Army]

In brighter news Ryley Towler notches for Wimbledon 

[stevep38]

This is terrible. No continuity at all

Thats how you attack a corner.

Agree. Atkinson - with his height - needs to be getting higher though.

Brum players quick to get in our faces, so little time to play the ball and get our game going

[cidercity1987]

Very similar pattern to last season if I remember

Decent start threatening play offs after the first 6/7/8 and then start dropping in Autumn to our position of lower mid table for the rest of the season

[Ecko]

Massengo offers **** all. No idea why he's rated so highly. Offers nothing.

[ProfitInMyPocket]

Getting pressed off the pitch.

Missing Naismith comfortability on the ball to get us going. *prepares for insults*

There are deeper problems with this team than a few injuries 

[Garland-sweden]

As someone else wrote: No rythm, sloppy passes. But still time to get it better. COYR

 No, that’s what he brings to the team. Don’t have that type of player today

We had more points this time last season 

[AshtonRobin21]

This is terrible. 

Performance of the season away at Norwich, and awful since then. 

This defence looks like it could be caught out every time Birmingham attack. 

[RedorDead BCFC]

This is very poor 

[bexhill reds]

Atkinson having a mare right now, his passing and touch are missing today

What are those then?
