Birmingham City V Brighton and Hove Albion **** Official Match Thread****

[Bob!]

Lualua keeps the ball and chooses the best option which was passing back to Chicksen.

Lualua harries the opponent and it is good enough. More good play from him.

Lualua decides not to shoot but pass instead. Right decision, wrong execution.

At least Lualua is not rushing his play.

Lualua tackles and wins the ball.

Lualua early cross comes to nothing.

Stockdale has to make another easy save.

Lualua to O'Grady for an easy save for Randolph.

HT 0-0 (anyone have a bet on this?)

Yeah, no goalscorer at 7's

 

[carteater]

I don't think Ward would have helped our lack of creativity which is the main problem at the moment

 

[Kevlar]

JFC has had a poor half and I am a fan
but whilst it is not great that JFC is a first choice starter
can anyone say honestly that
Calderon,chickson bruno,CMS COG and even Lua Lua
are ideal starters for a team trying for promotion?

 

[dwayne]

At the game zzzzzzz dire....pretty much cemented as a long ball team as well now

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

It was ALL he did for Leeds today, with huge help from a terrible parry by the woeful Boro keeper, who deserves the assist more than Sharp deserved a goal.

If CMS stood still all game but scored 1 goal I'd be happy.

 

[El Turi]

We are one of only four clubs in the division yet to score this season.

 

[Bladders]

If CMS stood still all game but scored 1 goal I'd be happy.

So would I with 46 league goals from standing still.

Wouldn't happen though.

 

[perseus]

A test for Hyypia. What is he going to do? Parity for both clubs. I bet Birmingham fancy their chances.
Ince seems to be getting caught in midfield. We are not looking so good down the left and their winger seems to have a bit of pace. I would like us to keep hold of the ball a bit better in case we completely forget how to do it.

 

[Titanic]

We are not big on entertainment, are we?

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

So would I with 46 league goals from standing still.

No, but if Sharp doesn't contribute but scores a goal that earns 3 points then I can't see too much to criticise.

 

[symyjym]

Are we a genuine dull side or just a hangover from Oscars dullness?

If you lack the quality on the pitch there is never going to be that much excitement, no matter who the manager is.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

We are not big on entertainment, are we?

Never going to be with this squad unforunately.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

If CMS stood still all game but scored 1 goal I'd be happy.

You would need to nail his boots to the pitch with six inch nails or take his batteries out first

 

[sir albion]

Managers must see something in JFC that no one else does.

Supposedly has potential...How often doe's he have a good game?
He's not a championship player full stop...Hope he proves a lot of us wrong,but unlikely.

 

[Bladders]

No, but if Sharp doesn't contribute but scores a goal that earns 3 points then I can't see too much to criticise.

You missed the point, Obika could have scored the goal, I could have scored the goal.

Kev the rev alluded to the fact we should have gone after a game winner like sharp but thats not really what happened.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

[sir albion]

Nothing changes it seems....boring brighton we're

 

[carteater]

if I was Hyypia I'd take Ince or JFC off, give Toko his debut, at the start of the half, then if nothing changes put Fenelon or the new guy on

 

[Ernest]

Two poor sides, looks like a bottom 10 finish if not lower unless we get the quality in

 

[algie]

We done alright considering our squad is weak. I was expecting the worse. Still another 45 mins to go but i would be happy with a point here.

Keep it up.
