Think we were poor in the second half. They were there for the taking but we didn't go for it. Disappointing.

Derby going to climb the league now. Think we can forget about them still being in the race.

If Derby are not in the race then nor are we.

I must be the only one not yet sold on Gynecologeres. I mean he's clearly got better pedigree than Biamou and Baka but he's a direct upgrade, another defensive-minded forward. Not sure that's really what we needed, felt he looked lost when it came to beating a man, getting the ball out of his feet to get a shot off or playing a decisive pass in the final 3rd.

I suppose I feel like he's half the solution, if we can get Hamer and O'Hare around him quickly I think he could be really effective.

I’m not sold either. He seems to need 4 touches before doing anything.

that being said, the knock down for Biamou was good, and overall he’s better than Bakayoko and Biamou.

Think he'll come into his own when Walker is back.

Big fan of 4 at the back and 2 up front. Sometimes the classics are the best

We didn't play 2 up front, it was the same system as Wednesday.

McCallum came back well from conceding the pen I thought.

Yes he did...made a few good headers and cut off the supply. Even so his first half performance no where near his usual standard. For me his poorest display this season.

it's a bit like Biamou's goals - penalties don't count.

He has a good point. But all the more reason to use his subs. So I kinda agree with you.

And we'd had a longer break than Wednesday on Wednesday.
No point him moaning about it

Just don’t get why he doesn’t use subs in a game like that if he starts the same team Tuesday it’s 3 games in 6 days for them lads he will then moan

“there was some tired legs out there tonight”

Birmingham's main threat was Sanchez (talented player) and Birmingham tried to double up on McCallum noticeably from dead balls early on. Didn't have a good game, but penalty aside, he didn't shirk tackles etc. Just happened to be up against their best player.

You're going to.have to get used to going through this tedious confirmation process on a regular basis now we're playing 4 4 2.

2 up front - actually when we we're in possession one of the strikers dropped in the the midfield to make it a 5.

4 in the midfield - actually it was a fluid diamond which could become a 4 4 3 or a 4 5 1

Get a bird lads

Yep, didn't think I'd have to argue that one. Clearly he's in a pedantic mood tonight.

Haven't backtracked through the process thread, bit did anybody hear Clive say Blues had brought on Mark Robins at half time (instead of Roberts) Oggy didn't even correct him.

I think he brought Shipley on to strengthen us down the left (didn't work).
I.think Allen's height was a factor in leaving him on the bench but those were his choices.
It is strange to moan about tired legs when you're not utilising your subs but the opposition are.
Not a bad point though as long as we win against Forest.

I'd consider bringing McFaz in for Hyam and we need to do something about left back but is it too early for the Scottish lad?
Same midfield and strike force.
