So nailed on that the same happens this season?

We will be more disadvantaged than most if behind closed doors games come back into play. Having crowds back has increased the tempo at games, which suits our pressing game and I would expect us to slide back into mid table if no fans can attend games.

The Championship will not be curtailed, just as it wasn't previously, and for the same reasons. The PL will not agree to any promotion to it from an incompleted season and Sky will want compensating for lost games. Yes it is possible there maybe behind closed doors games of course, but the...

That would be really embarrassing given he can't even get in their team, never mind the fact he isn't a City fan.

No chance

Is it not feasible at some point for MR to play both Jones and O'Hare behind a lone striker (Gyokeres preferably)? I think its a given that Jones would prove a more clininical finisher than O'Hare, but as others have pointed out the team would miss O'Hare's energy if he was missing. What O'Hare...

Read your T&C''s. These exceptions were clearly set out before you signed up for it. You are still getting to watch games (home and away) at a much cheaper rate than those attending the matches so I don't see you have that much to moan about. 5 years ago you wouldn't have been able to watch a...

Another one who can't show support for Sheaf without having a dig at Hamer or O'Hare :rolleyes:

While you make a fair point initially I don't see why you have to bring Hamer and O'Hare into the argument. It ends up with Sheaf's greatest supporters blindly slagging off O'Hare and Hamer the same way they accuse Sheaf's detractors of doing to him. All 3 of them make mistakes, and did so on...

Jones is one of the best finishers at the club after the strikers, and it might well be as the season progresses he gets to play a more active role with the first team. His attitude has been exemplary and if anyone deserves some good fortune it is him.

So many OTT comments on here. The draw is fine by me. We are at home, with a good chance of progressing & bringing more income into the club as a result. Plenty of time to get the 'glamour' tie later in the competition. Seems to me that those calling it a shit draw would only be happy with a...

An unusually leveI headed OP. Everyone of our players have been slated on here at some point this season, more often than not with uneccessary vitriol too. It is particularly bad in regard of the midfielders where supporters of Hamer, Sheaf or O'Hare seem to feel they have to slate the other 2...

The only logical reason I can see why MR chose Dabo over Hyam at CB was that given West Brom play such a high press that he thought Dabo would be the more able at playing out from the back and retaining possession. Unfortunately the team as a whole struggled with that aspect of the game...

Is that the rumour you've just made up?

Much has been made this week that Sillett's success with us started from the position of putting 'round pegs in round holes', so its a shame MR didn't follow suit yesterday with Dabo playing centre back. It looks like it was a case of him trying to shoehorn both Dabo and Kane into the team. Even...

Correct, but the thread title of this is perspective and the apparent failure of posters to recognise that a misplaced pass, a bad tackle or a shot off target is going to happen even in the best of games, and that some games the team will start more slowly than others. However, given this teams...

Not someone who posts during a match as I'd rather be watching the game, but I do enjoy reading back the match threads, particularly when we come back in a game, as its pure comedy gold and sums up how knee jerk and wrong the majority of posters are in their reading and knowledge of the game. If...

Yes, as we don't play wingers O'Hares position is his best bet. Only trouble for him is that O'Hare is a bit of a duracell bunny & doesn't seem to run out of steam. At somepoint in the season though we are likely to have to try and cope without him so if Jones is used as his replacement lets...

We've seen enough of Dabo filling in as a centre back to know its not a good fit, but there was little other choice open to MR on Saturday, although Eccles could have been an alternative if he had more matches behind him following his injury. If that had happened though MR would undoubtedly have...

Birmingham will finish higher than 4th bottom. They are an ugly team, but the uncompromising way they play will guarantee enough points to see them stay up comfortably.
