I'm on about some posters on here regarding the game. Not how we play.

Sorry Jen, my misunderstanding…..agreed!!!

Brownhill taken down. Yellow to city player but was brownhill kicked after he went down? (Can't rewind sky red button)

Without playing too well, I think we are creating the game’s biggest chances and generally controlling things quite well. Be patient. It will come. We are well on top.

That’s a very nice way of putting it John. Worst performance of the season so far I’d say. Very, very sloppy but we haven’t conceded and I wouldn’t swap performances or team at HT.

seconds from Cork there

NRC · Post by **NRC** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:33 pm

we're a bit one-dimensional - long ball to Tella that's not working. Zaroury not being brought into the game. Jay dropping deep for Zaroury and Tella to go behind isn't clicking yes

Bit of a workmanlike first half and not really 'clicking'.
Not unduly worried mind.

Have a little chat at ht and regroup. Go again.

Ref needs a new watch...

54 seconds!!

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:35 pm

Our throw ins are atrocious. I think with 1 minute to HT we should give that to Roberts.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:35 pm

Created the best two chances of the half. They’ve got good energy in midfield and closing down Cullen and Cork really well. Have to try find a way to get Zaroury involved more.

Millwall 3 up against Watford

Swizzlestick · Post by **Swizzlestick** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:35 pm

Heavy going. They are very direct and very physical. Need to be better on the ball. Jay unlucky. Vitinho is half the player at LB.

Cubanforever · Post by **Cubanforever** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:35 pm

Could do with a change of strip second half, not easy to tell who's who at times

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:35 pm

HT. Well that was after the Lord Mayors show. Tella and Zarourynever got into the game. A good bollocking will shake them up.

Casper · Post by **Casper** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:36 pm

Awful first half , giving the ball away and being caught in possession.

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:36 pm

We keep over-hitting that diagonal pass.
Still, unlucky with the Jay Rod effort.

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:36 pm

Really poor half for us, one to forget, but not conceded and sure Vinny will make the necessary changes at HT.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:36 pm

Awful half. Being dragged down to their level

ClaretFelix · Post by **ClaretFelix** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:36 pm

Really not keen on Muric, he's been Birminghams biggest creator. I don't buy into all this "he creates chances from the back" most of his passes are 10-15 yards at most to either of the centre backs, occasionally to a full back

Stood on his midriff as he was running. Hard to say if intentional.

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:37 pm

One of those games where we’re totally unable to play through the middle

Nonayforever · Post by **Nonayforever** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:37 pm

Deeney won't last the full game going at this pace, that will ease the pressure.

Tribesmen · Post by **Tribesmen** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:39 pm

Now not a lot in this one , but fair play to Brum they have closed us down and we are made to work .

Not over worried as still think we will edge this one .

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:40 pm

Cork and Cullen playing far too deep
Brownhill, Tella and Roberts all playing within 10 yards of each other so little support for Jay

It's certainly not working so far tonight.
But not a lot is, really.

Robbie Blake would have a field day in this team we need someone to fill that role in January.

Are we playing a different formation to the last game? We have gone ponderous again

Why are Brum still playing in a covid restricted stadium? All I see on TV is adverts on the seats…

Clive 1960 · Post by **Clive 1960** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:44 pm

Even first half , they are physical so maybe we might change with Barnes up top with jay and go a bit more direct as they are closing us down quickly and not letting us pass it like we do.

Think it’s down to their pressing. Credit to Birmingham, they’ve done very well. We need to speed things up.

Agree with this, they are very well organised.

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:49 pm

Our full backs are too far forward that’s why bellis and Taylor are just passing to each other at the back, no out ball.

Yes.

First time we’ve played the 4-2-2-2 this season.

Tella and Jay outright two up top, Brownhill right half space, Roberts wide right and Cullen dropping into RCB.

I don’t know how you see this mate

But I hope we change it if that’s the case.

Whatever we are doing is not working hopefully 4-4-2 this half

Like listening to Steve.
Still hope my local side get on over him on Saturday though.
