Birmingham City Match Thread

you could of put your house on that being a draw. 2 points dropped

Lack of killer instinct in front of goal

thy was rubbish. if we kept attackin we would of beat them.
i thought crouch played well holding the ball up but he just cant shoot.

galas again played well. what else can you say.

Defoes not Fit .

We gifted that to them cave people Brummies ....... ......

Citeh and Goons win too so not good.......

We lacked desire.

I thought we looked way better then them, Defoe was sharp but didnt want to pass glory hog, Crouch was all at sixes & nines , ok nice little flick on's but needed to many touches infront of goal, the team over all played well i thought. again though we have lost that chance to really close the gap, instead its got wider again

This....

I'm gutted we didnt win the game, we were superb in the 1st half, crisp attacking football ! but as you guys said, no killer instinct in front of goal ! Should of been 3-0 Spurs at half time and the points would have been in the bag!

In the 2nd half we just sat back and let them attack ! We badly missed an attacking midfielder (VDV or Thudds). But once again, we failed in defence for their scrappy goal!

All in all, St Andrews is not an easy place to go to, so a point isnt bad, but we could of so easily won that game!

Harry has said in his post match interview that in the second-half we were to deep and not pressing them like we did first 45 mins ....
Well if he felt that , do we think its not a little odd he used just the one substitute ?......He does this to often for my liking ...

Obviously he dont have enough confidence in Sandro as yet but Wilson was tiring and maybe there could've been a subsitution there ?

Also .......Crouch couldve been subbed and Dawson bought on last 15 minutes to man-mark that Zigic who was their aerial target in the pursuit of an equaliser ?.....

Yet again Harry has dissapointed me with his use of the subs bench , a bench that we keep hearing is one of the best in the league .......

spot on arnie. i would of taken crouch of not because he was playing bad but leavin defoe up front with pav. wp should of been taken off he looked nackerd. again harry just sits there and does nuffing. he always waits untill we go behind before we make changes.

The thing is Baz.... Brum didnt even have to be that cute ...Just extra effort from them and put on another forward , a big target at that and lump it his way.. Their threat was increasing and our manager didnt respond .....

Our attempts at scoring were poor but today our manager was also poor ...

Judging by what Im reading on other forums, it seems you can say a player has had a stinker but not likewise the manager .....
Im ready for the fickle accusations lol

Pav to me looked p*ssed off coming on with so little playing time Baz and its never really worked with him and Crouch has it ? ... On the touchline as Pav was about to come on , Harry was barking out instructions in his ear but he didnt look that intrested to me ...

As I said, Harry in his Sky interview said we wernt doing it in the second half and Birmingham were, so waiting until 10 minutes before the end to try something different seemed strange....
