Ah well, lost 2-1. Birmingham sounded as though they outclassed us in the first 20, or we were just shit. Seemed like we played slightly better second half, but our passing sounded like it never really got going. From the radio perspective, thought Bruce did alright. Didn't really think we'd get anything from the match, but hey, I'm pleased we scored! In fact, pleased Bruce scored! Against his old club! From a corner! Anyway, roll on Sheffield United on Saturday! Usually a good match.  |

i was at the game ! let me give u my views...starting with the game !!!
1- line up - Ambrose Left wing,,, Walters right wing,,, Counago + Stead up top !!!!! AT LAST !
however - i was wondering if playing a more cautious 4-5-1 formation away at a top side MAY be a better idea... saying that the 4 attacking players above playing in them 4 positions 2 me = our strongest front four !
we started the game slow ! and by slow, i mean everything slow. Second to every ball, slow passes, no momentum gained by moves etc.....
before u knew it, brum were 2-0 up n all ! ( links with dudettes topic for the title )
Larsson / Carsley + McFadden in particular bossing the game !
( chuffed to larry when Carsley went off !!! )
Our central midfield in particular was woeful. Garvan + Sumo = FAR FAR TOO SLOW at this level. Sorry, its not the answer away from home........ Norris was a HUGE loss for me.
i cant get how we LOVE passing the ball backwards stilll... continuously !!!! passing it amongst centre backs.
kept trying 2 hit the ball 2 walters at every chance... but Quedrue is better than most at this level !
2 be fair to us we kept going.... But brum were at " cruise control " a lot of this game, and rightly so ! they didn't need to go for the 3rd or anything, we didn't look like scoring two !
that said - counago shudda made it 2-1 towards the end of the first half,,,, and we wasted a good chance RIGHT after h/t from a corner by a header.
Ambrose faded badly 2nd half ( more mins needed ) but first half offered a useful outlet. He will improve.
Counago actually did quite well i thought, Stead was a bit off the pace. Haynes was really handy when he came on, when we FINALLY decided to pass him the ball !!!
Brum did look a class side though i must be honest. Composure, good technique, etc.... stength in depth - tho that said... when we equalised they did look quite nervous. It was always going 2 be near impossible after going 2-0 down after 15 sadly. If we hadn't, who knows how it could have gone.
A final comment, i really must laugh at the Birmingham ' support '.
15.000 odd at Home when ur club has KINDLY lowered prices to £15 a ticket.... £10 student n £5 consession is ABSOLUTELY EMBARRASSING. Im not kidding, if u lot dont go up this season..... and then MOAN WHEN u go into administration dont say i didnt warn u !
look at the players uve got on HUGE money... phillips/ mcfadden etc... must have around 15 players on over £10.000 a week ! think about it brum fans.... u dont wanna be a league 1 club !!!
also - quietest home fans ive ever witnessed.
"2-0 and u still don't sing... "
" do do do,,, football in a library "
" shit ground shit fans, shit ground shit fans "
" ur supposed 2 be at home "
" villa are shit but their better than u "
+ loads of other songs mocking how quiet u are. Don't pretend u weren't either !!!!!
