The Official Match Day Thread *** BHA v Birmingham **

[Lethargic]

Great going forward awful defending looks like we will need 4 goals min to win. Brun were poor

 

[Diablo]

Stockdale Great ! Ince Great! Greer ? Dunk ? Baldock ?

Still four goals and three points can`t be all bad.... Bring on Leeds ..

 

[El Turi]

Guess I was wrong about the team selection being too defensive. Crucial win though. That great penalty save by Stockdale could be a massive moment in our season.

 

[Marxo]

Well I'm happy, I'll be happy all weekend now

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It is strange...can keep clean sheets away but give up goals galore at home.

We set up more defensively away and attacking at home (scoring 7 goals in 3 games before today)
The midfield need to protect the defence more.

From what I heard on player, Baldock seemed to have a good game.

 

[portlander]

I would agree, except we gave away two goals when up by two, when all we have to do is hold on to the lead

Big big win.
Bruno (and the team as a whole) owe stockdale, wouldn't have fancied our changes going in 2-1 down at half time. Worrying that calde seemed more natural in front of goal than all our forwards though!

I know he didn't score, but I was impressed with Baldock today. Great movement, lovely touches, cracking assist - looks a good player to me. Would love to see him get a chance through the middle

Have to concede, but only repeating what I heard from an ex player who was there.(Butters)

Harsh, he fluffed the shot early on but looked pretty decent and was getting in some good positions

 

[Meade's Ball]

Put some great crosses in second half, Baldock. His shooting boots weren't on, if he in fact owns a pair, but his workrate and deliveries into the box were excellent. Maybe doesn't perfectly fit that position, as Calderon doesn't his, but if it bags us goals and victories I don't mind it until the season's out.

 

[Beach Hut]

Great win but piss poor defending at times

 

[perseus]

More slap than dash.

Football from both sides was a bit slapdash. More slap than dash.

We did out best to throw the game away but Birmingham were not good enough to take advantage. Best game from Tex. I thought in the second half Birmingham might to do something to try and stop him and we would rue our missed chances, but they didn't.

Looked like Baldock would make quite a good right back; tenacious, can put in a quick cross, but alas does not appear to be able to shoot. Calderon on the other hand showed a lot of spirit going forward and in front of goal!

Why isn't Holla in the squad?

 

[neilbard]

Got 6 thumbs down on an earlier post but it was still a poor performance people! We got out of jail today! Giving away 3 goals at home is just not good enough in my opinion!

 

[TomandJerry]

Went well, must have been the luck of the OP

 

[Beach Hut]

Bruno was dreadful today however needs must when the devil vomits in your kettle, 3 points was the only objective

I have to agree, rarely do you see a player make so many mistakes in a game. At fault for the 1st goal, gave away penalty, passing poor throughout, hopefully he bounces back Tuesday.

Look at the tactical genius and footballing knowledge of NSC posters. Why moan before it has even started? You clearly can't predict what is going to happen from the line-up. The above proves that!

Well done Captain Hindsight

Let's ignore the fact we were poor defensively and completey impotent upfront, fortunately our midfield performed well and saved us today, as did Stockdale. None of us can predict the outcome but surely we can post our thoughts on a football forum, otherwise what's the point?
