Birmingham City at home match thread

[Reefer Madness]

I feel this is going to be a long season.

For those thinking of a playoff push it will be disappointing

I think City will stay up. Just

Roberts positioning has totally changed us. Class

He looks a quality player

At the end of the day, the simple point is we don’t have enough on the ball quality going forward to play how we want to play.

Williams looked poor vs Oxford, not looking much better today, don’t think he should be starting. Also concerned about Bell being the main/lone striker. Ultimately poor choices from NP.

I really struggle with Williams. Seems a decent lad solid pro etc but for me not good enough consistently enough at this level.

[MelksRed]

Every final ball is poor. Need to do the simple  things well

That tends to happen when you have to sell those types of player's to balance the books.

[luke_bristol]

Good work down the wings getting undone by the decisions and three times players have let the ball run under their foot into touch 

[MelksRed]

We look disinterested.  Need someone to get everyone sparking.....

[old_eastender]

Tanner letting the ball un under his feet and out now, when is this chap from Aberdeen going to be fit?

[petehinton]

Theyre getting every little ricochet falling to them and we have heavy touches setting in. Not sure how you blame coaches for that but I’m sure people will 

[collier]

Losing 1-0, take a bad touch, let it run out of play and then waste more time by booting it away. Awesome big brain play's from Tanner.

[old_eastender]

good save Max

We need to push whatever FFP limits we can to get in a quality creative midfielder IMO.

[pillred]

D-W-L? how very city.

I appreciate you're sensitive to people blaming the coaching staff, but I don't think you can portray this as Birmingham getting the luck. We've just looked toothless in open play for the 3rd league game running.

Matty James and Sam Bell have been our best players so far in my opinion. 

Also liked Roberts since he came on.

[Redrascal2]

Based on today we are in for a long hard season unless we bring some players in. Poor all over the park today.

Indeed but thats the situation we find ourselves in. Genuinely can’t see us finishing above lower mid-table at best if we don’t.

[Bedred31]

Sky haven’t been to AG this half, while the guy at Wrexham will be seeking a pay rise.

[The Nest Egg]

Yet another lovely away day gifted to the opposition.

[mozo]

Come on Yeboah, you future Bristol City legend!

[pillred]

And now were down to 10 ffs!

[old_eastender]

Dickie off for 2nd yellow, very very, Harsh

Harsh, but why put your arm out?

[MelksRed]

Duckies 2nd yellow.....for kicking the ball away.....red 

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Great! now down to ten men, not our day.

[Spike]

and there goes Dickie, sent off.... fantastic. I personally don't think it was even a foul but regardless we'll be missing our center back.

[ChrisBW]

This is just awful.

[George Rs]

That is the worst reffing decision I’ve seen I think. 
 

******* misery compiler 

[CityCiderEd]

Birmingham looking half decent tbf but we're looking devoid of ideas.....Bell had 3 opportunities on the trot to cross early but tried to cut back onto his right allowing the tackle with forwards waiting for the early cross.
