Birmingham City away match thread

[johnheadbcfc]

End of the day it's an away draw in the championship! 4 unbeaten time to push on further 

[Andrew_V1]

Will take a point but that was absolutely abysmal. 
 

Hopefully we won’t be so slow on the ball again at home on Monday 

 

[2015]

That was a very hard watch.

[One Team]

Awful game of football which was there for the taking. Still, a draw away from home is never a bad result.

And drew the game - I’m happy enough with a point away from home.

Thought it was pretty good myself

Agree - it wasn’t boring, just lacked quality in the final third. 
 

We could have carried on the game until midnight and neither team would have scored 

[robinforlife2]

Played okay. Point gained. Birmingham defended very solidly, didn't give us a route through. Nothing wrong with a point away from home. 

[BCFC Rich]

Pretty dull game, but a point away 4 unbeaten. Not too bad. Think we'll see a little more quality at home against Millwall.

[Alan Dicks]

That’s the worst team we’ve played this season, should have come away with all 3 points, but we lack quality in the final third, and our passing was absolute abysmal at times tonight.

 

[Red Army 75]

Beat Millwall the point will seem a lot better. Clean sheet, finished the year strong 

[westonred]

Very poor tonight to many games in a short space of time and havent got the quality with such a small squad to freshen thing up. However a point away is good 

[Jerseybean]

A poor game, nevertheless, a hard earned point away from home. In truth, neither team deserved to win that.

It was sloppy, scrappy and stuttering throughout. Just one moment of quality football was all it would’ve taken, but alas, neither side could manage that.

I don’t think there was a single offside in the game, which is quite unusual.

On the positive side, we extend our unbeaten run and take a point away at a ground that historically we struggle at.

City fans were magnificent.

[You Do The Dziekanowski]

Not a bad away performance. Defensively sound. Controlled the game. There’s one thing that’s bugged me for about 5 years… 

We can’t seem to trap a football. Weimann, would have been through if he could get the ball under control. Bell/Sykes, seemed to need an extra touch to get it under. 
 

Need more bite in the final third to challenge for the play offs, but not overly disappointed with that though

Agree again - we were much the better side just lacking the final piece tonight.

Draw is about right. We haven't done enough for the 3 points. Not worst result or performance.

Yes agreed, too many players not quite on it tonight including unusually Pring. Weimann back to being anonymous after good showing at Watford.

[Curr Avon]

An away point isn't bad, but Birmingham were there for the taking and our final pass was dire tonight, apart from the Knight ball to Weimann.

Rather deflating after Watford

But not unexpected.

[Benneythered]

Not good enough tonight, very negative with a lack of shots, a boring watch. Need to move the ball quicker and shoot rather than trying to pass it in. Regardless of all of this we need a striker in Jan, Andi has had his day and the others are all to similar, we need other ways to play its very predictable, thought Anis cost us lots of the ball with lose passing. On to the next!

[BanburyRed]

10pts from 12. 4 unbeaten.

Sadly no shots on target. That's poor form against a bottom 5 side by a team with top 6 ambitions.

Hey ho. Onwards and upwards. 

[Finley_Smith10]

Probably take a point. They were trying everything not to lose. Also emphasises the need to signing abit more quality attacking wise as manning has referred to. Dickie MOTM again 

[Hocca]

That game highlights our need for a creative midfielder and physical striker. Birmingham were awful so that’s 2 points dropped for sure. We just never looked like scoring at all.

[RedRoss]

Not the prettiest of games.

To be disappointed with a point on the road shows the progress. We could of done better of course, we were sloppy. Should have tested Ruddy much more. However I think there was only one team who looked like they could win and that was us.

 

 

[cityexile]

Elements of the QPR match really, A home team that need to battle for everything, made it hard but happy if need be with the 0-0 as something to build on.

I guess if not going to have a shot on target all match 0-0 about the best result possible. Dull, and just created just about nothing. Game to many?

Its a point. Not sure Millwall will be much different as a match. Keeps us grounded as to where we are still work in progress.

[Out of his pie crust]

We’d probably have lost that in the last 3 or 4 years so points ok, but that was like pulling teeth

[95red]

A point  I suppose  but  that was crap,Birmingham  were there for the taking they were woeful. 

[HOZDA]

Once again we just struggle to break down a Birmingham side. Good possession but did very little in the final third. Certainly do need some attacking creativity in the January window if possible.

As Nige said; if you can't win, don't lose. Take the away point and onto the next. 

[UpTheReds]

We stay in 8th, 3 off Hull in 6th

[MC RISK77]

A point keeps this little good run going- onto Millwall

Have a day off from fishing mate. 

Happy new year. 

I’m not fishing. You literally posted about how you thought Manning changed things because you thought he was giving the players too much information. He talks about that in the press conference. I thought you would find it interesting as YOU were talking about it. How is that fishing, I was being nice!!! 
 

I hope you have a rubbish New Year.
