Birmingham City vs Derby County

[ZagrebRam]

Standard garbage by Derby.. Couple of side way passes at the back and then just boot it forward!! Not sure why we have a midfield!!

Battling performance,  fair result.

Cole was excellent today!

I just can't believe bringing Nuge on didn't work!

Far from garbage. Read the room.

OK, our defence was properly Keystone Cops at times but we've been absolutely robbed today. The worst refereeing performance I've seen in yonks. Shocking.

Heyho. We wipe our mouths and go again. A win would have been superb today but there'll be further twists and turns to follow. Let's hope Fikayo is not injured though. Losing him and Holmes could be terminal.

[Gritstone Ram]

Second half was a bit poor we looked better after the substitutions Wilson didn’t cause a threat but Bennett made the fullback work.

[Steve How Hard?]

Hope it was just cramp troubling Tomori at the end. If it's his hamstring then that would be a big blow to lose him at this crucial stage.

[Mr Tibbs]

Hanging on at the end there, would normally be a decent point but we need wins.

Everyone battled well enough but the defending and quality lacking from too many players. (Lawrence, Wilson, Bryson, Johnson). Too direct at times but it was a scrap, tough to play fancy football in a game like that. Nobody in midfield bar Mount showed any composure. 

Would like to think we'll do QPR on Monday so hopefully Boro/Bristol will drop points. 

 

[Thierry Ennui]

At least we're not Leeds, eh?

[Jortat]

Low on quality but 110% effort.

A draw was a fair result.

onto the next one

Once again not capitalised on the huge lifeline thrown to us by brizzle. In isolation a draw at brum is a decent result, but in the bigger picture it really leaves us hanging on by the thinnest of threads. You don’t go up making the same mistakes that we do, this squad just don’t seem to learn. Away form is bottom of the league standard in 2019, no hope of playoffs unless that picks up.

Bit of a mental game really, no control exerted by either side, tho that suited brum far more. Tactics just didn’t seem at all properly researched and set up for that match, launching it up front all the time was never going to work. That said, decent game by Waghorn dealing with it. Poor poor game by Wilson who should be dropped next match, Bryson vanished when we needed him as usual, Johnson and Lawrence need more quality too. Bennett made a huge difference when he came on and should start next game ahead of fairy Wilson.

EDIT: forgot to say, Cole MOM. Best game in a derby shirt by a long way

[HorsforthRam]

Tough game. Unfortunately, we played the game they wanted to play. Too many times our players played head tennis when they had a chance to bring it down. Other times rushed it when we had time. However, battled well

He did tell the ref a great joke though to be fair....... you know the one about the ref who couldn’t see a blatant handball from 5 yards away ?

Sorry, I don’t enjoy watching aerial ping pong... for me that was garbage

We are nowhere near ready for the playoffs.

You could say that about every team up there. Are West Brom ready? Are Bristol City ready? Are Asto... anyway you get my point.

[SKRam]

And it’s STILL in our own hands.

Well ok GD could be the huge factor but let’s carry on at home as per last couple, roll on Monday!! SSA

110% ?..... never got that one.

[Ruud Aralliss]

Didn’t create as much 2nd half, but we had our chance with Tamori at the end, problem was that they had a few.

Just couldn’t seem to keep the ball on the floor could we.  Still, a point from a difficult away tie and 2 great goals. Some work to do on corners please Frank?
