Significantly weaker than the top six he’s saying.
Significantly weaker opposition lol
If thats case what are you worried about? Significantly weaker teams will get relegated not us.
We don't settle for anything. Play same vs best teams or worst. Sometimes we have drawn wheb coukd have won but we have also drawn when coukd have lost.Significantly weaker than the top six he’s saying.

We're having a great season not sure why some fans cannot see that

Guess 3 years of relative success obscures perspective
In some cases, but I have been pretty consistent with what I have said.
Staying up this season is the aim, but if we don't achieve it I don't think it will be down to simplistic of budget or first season syndrome. Looking at the opposition we have played, we can compete. If anything I wish we had a bit more belief.
I suppose my question would be. What do you mean by belief? Practically?In some cases, but I have been pretty consistent with what I have said.

Agree with this. I think it’s often a case that our opponents (Brum that other day) just get better as the game goes on. Sometimes when a side has momentum you have to sit in and soak up the pressure which is what we did the other day. I don’t think it was a case of settling for the draw at all. Our best chance of winning that game towards the end was on the counter attack which is what we almost managed a few times in the last 20 mins

People have been clamouring for 2 up front or 4 at the back or 5 at the back or hamer further forward or no shipley
For you what does playing with more belief mean and what difference do you think it would make?
Obviously I mean this as respectfully as possible, but I completely disagree with nearly all of that.
The one and only substitution we made weakened us significantly. Birmingham made how many changes exactly? The game was at 1-1, and the momentum was with us. We sacrificed that. On the one hand Robins was moaning about squad depth and players having to play so much, but then on the other he was refusing to do anything but settle for a draw. It was a bit of a silly comment and I wouldn't be the first fan to question his substitutions. For what is a very good manager, it is a really weak side of his game.
I was disappointed, because whilst on paper you may be happy with a draw, watching the game you could see that they really weren't very good at all.
I don’t think we settled for a draw.I think we had the better chances throughout the game. I also thought we were the better footballing team. The fact that Blues committed so many fouls and had three players booked (should have been more) gives evidence to the fact that they were struggling to contain us rather than the other way around. Their manager made two changes at half time, again suggesting that he recognised that we were on top. I don’t think any Birmingham substitute had a huge impact on the game either. Wilson didn’t have a shot to save apart from the pen and the only way I could see Blues scoring was from a set piece. I also think that the performance on Saturday was much improved on the last time we played them when they had three good chances to score and when they were on top in the last 15 minutes of that game. A sign, I think, that we are progressing, even with so many key players injured.Obviously I mean this as respectfully as possible, but I completely disagree with nearly all of that.

The momentum was with us in the first half after we scored, second half it was all them apart from us on the counter attack. Birmingham had Leko, Juke, Roberts and Gardner to come on and do a good job. We have a significantly weaker squad. Most people were clamouring for Baka and Allen to come on who people were saying a week ago should be let go. He doesn’t make many changes because we don’t have many players currently fit who are anywhere near the level required

Give it me... You will have the same returnSkybet are currently offering 200/1 on QPR to go down... surely worth a tenner
I highly doubt Robins had Birminghams safety at all in his mindI'm sure MR would have been happy to win the game on Saturday, but given we were playing our landlords, I wonder if he was content to settle for a draw towards the end of the game. I doubt we would be very popular there if our results against them ultimately helped relegate them.

I did wonder if they would maintain the pitch to the standard of last season Lol.?????
If that is the case, which I generally agree with, why did he bring Shipley on who is clearly no where near the level required? Allen had been getting better and better, scoring a great goal in the last game.
It was a really silly move doing what he did, and as the game went on, lack of changes for me indicated that we were trying to hold out.
A festival of football expected at Adams Park tonight Wycombe hoofers v Birmingham kickers
Blues fans think they may have broken the rules tonight v Wycombe, as they have not named a home grown player on the bench? Not sure what the consequences might be if true.
Make attacking subs when we’re drawing against a team that hasn’t won in 3 years or something instead of sitting back and taking a point.I suppose my question would be. What do you mean by belief? Practically?

We sat just behind the tunnel for the game at Wycombe last season. Obviously we were brilliant and won 4-1 and I was really impressed that Ainsworth stood by the tunnel and shook the hand of each of our players as they left the pitch. I mentioned it to my brother-in-law, who supports Wycombe, and he said he does it every game which took some of the gloss off but still a really nice touch.I like Gareth ainsworth. Comes across really nice guy and clearly isn't faking his passion for rock music lifestyle

Rotherham are going to have a fixture pile up which can only help us
