Yep, mightily encouraging. Great free kicks.
Formation looked quite solid and will improve
Burn looked decent
Big Jurg looks like a player reborn
March and Montoya effective too
Much more positive than negative from that run-out for me.

looked comfortable all game, scored 4 goals, obviously a work in progress, but you can only beat the team in front of you.
It's only a friendly so wouldn't read too much into it but positives to take from the game. Quite liked the look of the formation, thought Burn did ok alongside the ever present Duffy and Dunk, Locadia is looking sharp and Trossard looks to have a lot about him. Only slight niggle was a few bits of ropey defending, Birmingham probably should have scored at least 1 - but that sort of thing will be hopefully ironed out given the formation is new to us.

Locardia finding better space staying closer to the central attacker.
Trossard dangerous roaming free across the front line..
Burn venturing forward on the left.
March as a wing back.
Alzate with the potential to break through
Downside? Defensive frailty seriously worrying but when your centre back scores two it's hard to complain..

I’d agree with that propper not his usual high standards today but overall a very encouraging performance

He looked good going forward, but played several sloppy balls losing us possession too. Hopefully he'll iron those out (they weren't in his highlights video).

Is it PotG?

Jury's still out on Big Jurgs for me, when he does that sort of turn and touch v a PL defender in full flow, then I'll buy in.

Thought Burn did very well. Good with the ball, deceptively quick. Received loads of awful passes in 1st half but that's not his fault. Looked great in the cup games last season too.

That was a very easy watch!
Starting to see what he's doing now, ol' potter, the difference being the speed in which the ball goes forward. Didn't read too much into the three at the back, that'll be reserved for lesser opposition, but the forward movement looks promising. Also, I'd forgotten the amount of missed chances in the championship. That is really the only difference between the top six of the championship and the bottom six of the premier league.....finishing

Locadia's ball retention and link up play excellent I thought, took his goal very well. Trossard a real livewire, three assists and always looking to get on the ball. Burn looked comfortable and assured on the left of that 3. Montoya and Solly effective getting up and down.
I'm liking.

Comfortable performance. Yes, against a side who will struggle in The Championship but we've beaten what was in front of us with an experimental formation, no first choice left back and Gross having a bit of a rest.
Stockdale though....

Yes very promising. Brum were absolute dog turd but we looked good on the ball and the positives were Big Jurge, Big Burn, tiny tross, and the system we played. We all know it won't be that easy in The Premier league but we scored 4 goals and looked good......whats not to like?

Well that’s my mojo back up to 7. Brighton trying to score and keep scoring once they have will take some getting used to
a lot of free kicks went astray, did we hit the first man at all?
But there are no lesser opposition in the PL. Three at the back is a style he likes, so I assume we'll see a fair bit of it.

Oh and just to add......where was Ali and has Solly grown UP?

This isnt 1975 though. Car factories aren't the significant employer in the region they once were. So the statement was pointless and irrelevant.
A bit like the comment that there are quite a few teams in the Birmingham area.
