Birmingham City vs Derby County Matchday Thread

[Tyler Durden]

Haha Roos now can't pass the ball ten yards 

[California Ram.]

I know Jagielka’s getting on, but having a lie down at that point probably not ideal

[vonwright]

I don't mind the passing from the back. I like it. The problem is we have no plan B when the other team start pressing. Just keep going and going and getting into more and more trouble 

 

[Silko]

The opposition don’t need to be on the pitch we would defeat ourselves with no opposition on the field

Never been able to stand Ryan Woods.

Not sure how he fouls Morrison late 4 times then the ref talks to both of them

This new approach is a grapplers charter

If I was Birmingham I’d just give it our defense and let them set them up.

Bonkers tactic of taking lots of risk for virtually no reward. Buchanan at fault but was accident waiting to happen. 

Sibley been really poor so far too. 

Rooney isn’t a brilliant tactician tbh

[Warwick Ram]

I am waiting for Lawrence or Morrison to actually step up.

This fannying about with the ball at the back, always looking backwards, trying to draw opponents on and deliberately put ourselves under pressure, is an absolutely idiotic way of playing unless your team is full of world class stars. I do not understand why we try to do it. We are so very often the architects of our own downfall. Just stop it.

It's because,as us often the case,world class players like Rooney,forget that most players are not able to play like that.....he has to adapt to what we actually have in the squad and play to our strengths.

[Birdyabroad]

Everyone keeps talking about Sibleys potential and I have high hopes for the lad myself, but bloomin hell, he’s done nothing; three touches, all poor. He may feel he’s being muscled by these Birmingham defenders but, yes, that’s going to happen week-in-week-out in the Championship.

Interesting that Shinnie is playing on the right this time. I imagine it's with a view of Knight coming on in the second half

It’s not good for bird

What's the ref got to do with it?

The ref is giving Morrison no protection and are hacking him to bits.

[Bris Vegas]

This is awful.

Sibley and Lawrence can’t keep the ball, while Shinnie and Bird are offering nothing on the ball.

It means Morrison is dropping deeper, thus creating a massive gap between the midfield and front three.

Birmingham play with two strikers. We outnumber them in midfield but we aren’t doing anything on the ball.

Crap.

Dissapointing by Buchanan but a couple players around him could have made things easier. Davies all too happy to not take responsibility, Shinnie all to flat on his heels to give the easy ball inside.

Buchanan only had to look up, He failed, Football is a pretty simple game when you're aware of your surroundings.

Cocu

[DerbyRam!]

Was it a foul on Sibley or fair challenge in the end?

Couldn't see so clearly even on the replay

[Silko]

Just waiting for the mistake ….

Give Morrison a break he played for jamaica about 2 days ago…

[Carl Sagan]

Sibley sandwiched in a run through on goal. No foul given. Goal-scoring opportunity. Unsurprisingly, Don Goodman saw nothing wrong with it. It's hilarious when commentators see the replay and the clear and obvious foul, but keep to their daft original opinion.
