It was one of the few occasions when the man in possession looked up and picked out the pass. The keeper shouldn't be beaten at near post so from that angle I think Hamer made the right choice.

Moore 7 (didn't have much to do but was assured with anything that came his way) Dabo 6 (gave up on his man a couple of times and use of ball was poor. Otherwise linked well) Hyam 7 (defensively strong but too slow with his passing) McFadzean 8 (positive coming forward and trying to up the...

I agree that they persisted relentlessly but I think some credit needs to go to the tactical defence. Clearly planned for it with Godden immediately dropping in.

Such a disappointing second half. Birmingham were there for the taking. Ran out of ideas. Think this was one for Jodi Jones to exploit the space. We need someone who can create. Not sure why he is on the bench if he isn't going to be used in that situation.

Referee has been dreadful. Continual pulling of shirts, particularly Gyokeres' going unpunished. Need to start second half brightly again and get more clinical final third. Maatsen justifying his inclusion. Looking a threat.

As I said I don't think his energy levels are sustainable. He is rarely subbed so he has very little rest apart from international breaks. Most injuries are accumulative so I think having a game's rest now and again is a protective move.

He is now on 4 bookings so he may have to miss a game if he picks up another one soon. I think he could do with a rest. He is clearly super fit and industrious by nature but surely playing the way he does game after game is not sustainable.

Pace was never an asset, which probably allows him to play on for longer as he always has had to use his strength and know-how.

Personally I don't think there are many players that are first team ready before they are given minutes in the first team. Getting in around the senior match day squad is all part of the development. The U23s doesn't compare to Championship football obviously but at the same time not everyone is...

After Godden's brace he is second to Mitrovic for goals per minutes played

People don't have to agree with my opinions. At least I give my reasoning unlike you who likes to throw in sarcastic and sometimes vile comments.

Moore 7 (could have done better with second goal but great point blank save at 0-1. Did well claiming crosses / punching - something we now take for granted in a keeper) Dabo 7 (game of 2 halves. Poor first half. At left back he linked really well and put in two decent balls into the box...

Nothing new about Liam Kelly's professionalism as been shown in many ways including his attitude when turning out for the U23s. When he came on today Fadz offered him the armband. Rather than break momentum he didn't take it. Small detail but potentially indirectly match winning.

Oh my word. So emotional. Absolutely unbelievable!

Thank goodness Godden stayed on!!

Don't understand keeping Godden on. Surely this is a luxury with 10 men?

Up until the last 5 minutes we ran them ragged. Unfortunately our energy dropped and they exploited the space. We have had numerous well hit efforts get blocked as well as Hamer's early effort and Rose's header. I think we have to count ourselves as very unlucky. They really didn't deserve to be...

Sickener. Bad decision by Maatsen who had played well up until that point. Hamer's passing has been outstanding. Thought Scott could have been sent off for the foul on him which resulted in a yellow. Rose has played well too. Godden anonymous, O'Hare wasteful. I would put Allen on for Godden.

Really important game given what is approaching from end of November - 4 teams in the top 7 (Bournemouth, WBA, Huddersfield and then Stoke). I hope he sticks with Allen and I wouldn't surprised to see Kelly come back in. I can't imagine Robins not starting with Dabo, when came straight back in...
