The 1st minute miss was a fucking howler
Only seen half as many games as I normally would because of the predicament but from what I can see is there seems to be a lot of excellent one touch football play that has come from the academy but because of the youth of the side ,when the pressure is put on us it it seems that we panic a bit. Good to see Kelly back in he seems to have steadied the ship midfield. Dare I say it, hate to call players but we do seem a better side with more movement when Hiwula is not on the pitch . Good to see Max getting plaudits he loves the fans and the game you could see it on his face at the final whistle, gutted at the late goal. PUSB
My mistake, just referring to the short triangle passes they make on the wings in tight areas they look like they could do it all day long. Very quick. But there always seems a 10 minute period where there heads seem to drop and passes go astrayThe only academy player is Shipley, how has the style of play “come from the academy”?
I’d suspect the average age of the squad is older than the last few seasons with the likes of McFazdean, Godden, and Marosi in.

Surprised at some of the negativity on this thread. Absolutely a frustrating way to draw, but it’s a very good result away from home and against a free scoring and on form team.
I’ve said it repeatedly this season; we are a very good team. We have had issues scoring goals, but we’ve also dominated games, coped with numerous injuries to first team players and a seemingly unproportionate amount of bad referring decisions.
I really think fans don’t appreciate how good we actually are, perhaps it’s due to being in Birmingham and less people actually seeing us play at all, or watching on iFollow. It has to count for something that numerous opposition fans have commented on how good we are - they are objective after all.
I get that we need to improve in certain areas, but unlike some of the teams around us, I don’t feel we’ve hit our peak yet. We have a change in formation which I feel suits our players much better and have scored 4 goals in 125 minutes using it. We still have big players to come back and have a January window to strengthen.
I genuinely believe we’ll be challenging this year.
I don’t understand the thinking behind even signing KastaneerAgree with nearly all of this.
It's interesting as you could argue that only three of our signings over the summer have had a real impact on the team: Marosi, Dabo, and O'Hare.
With Allen, Jobello and now Godden injured we haven't benefitted from the other key signings as we might have expected at this point. So to be in this position with these key players now out shows the depth of the squad.
I see a lot of potential in Kast as well but still don't understand how he's not match fit at this point of the season. I also think Walsh will be influential this season if paired with Kelly in a more advanced role.
I like McFaz a lot and feel better when he's in the side but need to see him cut out the errors. As you say everything being equal we can advance from here.

It’s still concerning for me that we’re approaching November without an away win
'The Entertainers' failed to win away in an entire season
Yes and finished about 14th, which backs up the general point being made'The Entertainers' failed to win away in an entire season
14th on 44 points. Only 4 more than the traditional target to avoid going down.I thought I remembered that. Couldn’t find it online to back it up. Where did we finish that season? Was one of our better Prem seasons wasn’t it?
Remember going to Watford for the last away game thinking surely we'd win one. Lost obvs, absolutely awful.'The Entertainers' failed to win away in an entire season

Watford v Coventry City, 14 May 2000
Isn’t it frustrating that we didn’t just hold the ball in their corner in injury time! We had chances to keep the ball down that end but it ended up back at Marosi, we lost possession and they made it count! Any other club would have against us
but that was the only negative I found from the game which can’t be too bad
Agreed we should have wanted a third, although on our second half showing in the main there was only one team who looked like scoring again.We would have actually been better off trying to score a 3rd. They were short at the back having sent their big centre back up front, but we played for the corners and got dispossessed allowing them to then break and score.
‘not that way!!’
If he hoofed it and they came back and scored he’d be the baddie for “not holding on to it”All o hare had to do was clear it
Sorry still gutted lol
no, in this case he cud nip it back to a team mate or just hit it hard as he could. went to turn on it and was pushed off easily. made wrong choice.If he hoofed it and they came back and scored he’d be the baddie for “not holding on to it”

As for us playing for corners? Did we even get near the corner flag in injury time? The frustration is for me that we didn’t, and I recall saying shortly before they scored ‘not that way!!’ So whilst it was a counter we brought it on ourselves
