No penalty, their player kicks Hyam.
Ours was an absolute stonewaller.
Gutted about that game, though we were exception for most of the game just that last bloody pass.
Horrible niggling Birmingham team, I understand that refs are letting more go but I swear they were pulling shirts or holding on every bloody time.

The ‘we didn’t lose’ is all well and good until we come up against a side that’s more ruthless. It should be acceptable to see tonight as 2 points dropped.

it's almost like cos he went for it at the weekend and the game went away from us he's decided it's no going to work tonight.
If you're going to make attacking subs and push for the win it's better to do it at home with the crowd behind you.
I do sometimes wonder what is going through MR's head when considering subs. Surely he can see Kane is a much better crosser than Dabo? Everyone else can.

It’s almost more insulting to bring Walker on in added time than not at all. Would love to hear the rationale and to be fair to Robins there is always justification even if it’s not agreeable.
Can only assume Sheaf wasn't fully fit. No way Allen would come on ahead of him otherwise

Great performance form Maatsen really, that absolute howler of a right footed shot at the end aside. I was getting annoyed at him coming in the middle and thinking he's a striker but then thats what got their player sent off so

He didn’t need to change shape tonight as he did on Saturday. Just get Sheaf in for his superior distribution, Kane for the delivery and the rest can probably stay as is.

I don't know.
When Allen got the shout to come on, Sheaf was by him and told him and his head dropped completely.

He acquitted himself quite well but it concerns me he’s one of few willing to take a shot on.

Not really.
I'm disappointed we've not beaten a poor team and I've said where I think we could do better.
Some people would prefer a match thread of people just saying "come on city", "I hope we score", "go on city"

It's a figure of speech. I obviously don't mean it'd be the end of the world if we lost, just that taking something from the game now becomes far more important to try and maintain where we are than if we'd have won tonight.
Hamers runs from deep were causing a sorts of problems so he wanted another runner on rather than a sitter.
Sheaf should have started instead of Kelly, however

Some people may as well just have a look at the table at the end of the season to make a judgement tbf and give their opinion. Ridiculous

If there was no intention of using him for that reason then why have him on the bench? It was crying out for him especially when they went down to 10.

It was spot on at Sheffield but tonight showed there are clearly some favourites in the side

I just can't believe we cannot beat this lot

We were anything but exceptional - we ran out of ideas and had no real plan at all in the second half - the keeper was hardly tested all night

To be fair Sheaf and Kelly together doesn’t really work, or at least i haven’t seen it work effectively

They’ll be tossing themselves off tonight for getting away with shite 5 times on the spin

I’m probably gonna move to C. A is a joke.
Well if Sheaf was fit seems irrational that he didn't play
Letting blues coaches out first for some reason

Will see if it’s the usual ‘knock’ but his reaction to not going on says otherwise

Not at all. Just don't cry when we played well
I think frustrating not to win and we need to start scoring soon but overall happy with how we played is a perfectly reasonable response
But hey don't let facts get in the way of your whining tonight

I've calmed down since the final whistle so I retract my earlier comments. It's a disappointing result but it actually shows something else which is emerging as we've been established in the top 6: teams are coming to the CBS and sitting behind the ball where we're at our most effective when teams try to come at us.
