I honestly hope not. The only way Wright and Simms are ever going to reach their optimal effectiveness is by playing together. Tonight showed there's promise there, they just need to get that understanding and they'll be away.

That Sakamoto performance was absolutely fantastic. He deserves a lot of plaudits, as well as Calum.
Must be undroppable at the moment.

Simms needs a run in the side. Does him no favours with the off the bench cameos. Palmer is not the future imo

Just watched Rooney's interview. He's so out of his depth it's almost funny. The least motivational, inspirational, and coherent manager I can remember seeing. I have a soft spot for the Blues after they helped us out, and I do feel sorry for their fans to have to put up with this charlatan.

Allen, although I have to say I thought Allen was very good today, a couple of missed passes and a bit weak sometimes, but a very good option

Just watched that Rooney interview on Sky, he’s quite weird. Talks really quietly and looks very timid. When you think how he played the game he is a very different manager it seems. Can’t imagine him inspiring a group of dejected players. He looked desperate for the interview to end and just churned out slightly negative cliches which he got wrong. Birmingham will struggle while he’s there I think.

He's basically telling the players to just ignore Rooney and do what worked before. Not bad advice

It was a good performance, but still concerns about our finishing. If not for O'Hare tonight and for all our obvious superiority, it would have been 0-0. Wright just frustrates a lot. Chances he has he should be scoring. Simms needs game time. The promise is there though. Sheaf had a bit of an off night tbf. Others like Sako and O'Hare, Allen were top notch. Shout out to Bidwell, another very good performance from him. We were sloppy in moments but other times really good on the ball. O'Hare's presence changes the whole dynamic of the side.
Confidence high now, so we go into tough fixtures ahead with plenty of optimism.

Better opposition would have scored a few against us tonight. Unfortunately for them, if we'd taken our chances it would've been a humiliation

They did get into a number of good positions and were pretty wasteful. Still we were comfortable value for the win

100%, we outclassed them in every department.
Also Sakamoto is pure class, technically great, quick, nimble and most importantly he never quits. As good as O’Hare’s goals were Sakamoto was MOTM for me.

…and a Hamer-esque midfielder too to be honest

our top two tonight (not including Saka as he was immense) will come good, but another quality CF in the mix wouldn’t hurt

He got the job based on name and is probably getting paid a fair whack. Can't really blame him but he's not the best.

We've took the piss out of them for years now. Second year running I nearly felt sorry for them. What on Earth were they thinking with Rooney?

Basket case even with the new owner.

Totally agree , love his passing too , never seems to overhit or underhit it . Only slight criticism , he needs to scream for the ball when he is in decent positions cause some of the attacks tonight could’ve played him in a lot earlier

Who’s bothered about pissing Rooney that’s for the Blues noses to worry about, just savour what we have here, team is slowly but surely developing into a formidable team get the transfers right in January and we will kick on.
