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

[Lethargic]

No problem season doesn't start until September these games don't count.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

No we didn't. Things aren't great at the moment but no need to go overboard.

It certainly is not worse

 

[daveyboy1973]

Bloom and hyypia out of their depth!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

I wonder if ulloa would have scored for us..

I aint fecking bovered I'm off to FLORIDA

 

[Dick Head]

Déjà vu

 

[BensGrandad]

Shows how bad and that we have a poor squad when the striker option is Fenelon not even as good as Paynter and Obika.

13 shots but only 3 on target says a hell of a lot

 

[Kevlar]

so we have a decent goalkeeper
2 very solid if slow centre halfs
a defensive midfielder who can do a good if limited job
and another 7 starters to find
hopefully we may have found one of those in the young loan

 

[jimhigham]

I am not going to panic.

My panic alarm goes off in 15 days...

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Very difficult to feel anything but low this evening.
God help us when we play a good side.
l have to agree that I also think this is all down to FFP and we seem to be the flagbearer for it. Why?

 

[neilbard]

Bit worrying that we seem so inept going forward, bring back the wingers?

Don't be so ridiculous wingers! Look at United today they didn't play with wingers! Oh wait a min they lost too!!!

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Come on then...whats funny?

 

[Bladders]

Going to be fun on NSC tonight...

Buckley fouled twice on his Sunderland debut. 2-2 at the Hawthorns.

Chicksen does a good cross that is too high in the last seconds. If we had scored that is what promotion clubs do.

FT 1-0 defeat.

If we had won the home game, I would not have minded so much. That's the automatics gone now.

I tempted to think Birmingham are not very good either.

I am very much in favour of 4-3-3 with one winger at home and the easy games away like Birmingham.

Derby fail to break down Wednesday as well. 0-0

26,375 at Norwich 3-0.

 

[Bladders]

At least we're not getting smashed by 3 or 4 goals.

......trying to be positive here.

 

[Seagull kimchi]

Two of our 'easiest' games out the way.

 

[OvingdeanSeagull]

Without several quality new signings, we're going down. Can't believe how weak our squad is in comparison to how it was just 2-3 months ago. Really starting to piss me off now.

 

[Hugo Rune]

We've sacrificed August (and possibly September) results to ensure we get the best deals. We are worse at scoring than last season which is saying something. We are missing a lot a the moment. I just hope it's not a relegation fight this season. Gutted.

 

[Mancgull]

A truly terrible result but entirely predictable with the strength of squad we've got.

I'm sure that the lack of player quality is something to do with it but I'm not convinced by Hyypia's tactics and decision making. To take off Kaz and CMS is strange to say the least. However, at this stage lets get the players in for him and then go from there. However, the last 4 games of preseason and the three competitive games so far have been appalling. Nothing to give any sense of excitement and frankly against two poor Championship teams, we have hardly looked like scoring. There needs to be a real sense of urgency in turning this around quickly. Yes, we need to start with player recruitment, but the manager should also be under scrutiny.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Even if those players are better now they were not better then were they. This team is stronger than that team and the one in the first season at the Ames. Stop being a sensationalist!

Hardly being a sensationalist am i??...You compare them players.Our best hope for a bit of flair and a goal KLL couldnt get into that team.Why the face palm?..Get in the real world mate.
