[Drunk blade]

Khadra having a poor game, looks rusty

 

[drblade]

Time for some changes please, Hecky

 

[HarryHaslam]

Great finish McB!!

 

[drblade]

Bang

 

[Drunk blade]

Get in

 

[BangorBlade]

Yeeeeeeesssss

Like to see sharp on for McBurnie here, games passing our strikers by at the moment and McBurnie's on a booking likely to do something stupid

One of those posts we all live to regret

 

[Belvedere Blade]

McBurnie scores again. COME ON U BLADE

 

[drblade]

Defending…

 

[Captain2]

Ffs what happened to our defence

 

[Belvedere Blade]

What the heck is going off at the back. Brummies hardly had a shot on target so far until now.

 

[BangorBlade]

Ffs what happened to our defence

Dare i say it McB wasnt there

 

[sheff_blade90]

how the is chong still on the pitch. he is a lucky player as im halfway in family stand. in that big melee. looked from where i was sat he stuck the head on our player. the way he sprinted off afterwards made him look quilter

.i hate play acting. but i understand why after that

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Why take Mcburnie off he gives us extra in defending set pieces

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Brill to see Bogle on the pitch again after that lengthy injury.

 

[drblade]

[Millhousesblade1889]

Sharp & Bogle looked very rusty.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

1st home draw of season. Got to be better prepare for QPR visit on Tuesday.

 

[JayGreen17]

I hate international breaks…… proper messes with our stride.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

No excuses today was there for the taking we just didn’t step up

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Still top of table by 4/5 points 3rd place

 

[jono_t2000]

Not gonna bemoan anyone after that. We're never at our best after international break

Plus players like Berge were playing on empty.

Take the point, regroup, and go again.

 

[Captain2]

Due a hiccup Hecky will regroup never easy after break
Pluses Another goal for Oli
Jayden getting a run out
Still top of the Championship

If that’s our version of a hiccup I’ll take it. We won’t win every home game.

 

[Toronto Blade]

Easy to lose focus after you score right away they caught us off guard.
Good point we had players away that played two more games and flight time .While they had two weeks off to prepare for this game.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Was quite impressed by Brum. Solid team. Defended well, won a lot of second balls, have some skillful midfielders that broke quickly, and have a good squad depth.
They could end up in the playoffs.
Blades looked a bit slow and lethargic today, but didn’t play badly.
Draw was a fair result I thought.
Regroup and move on.
As we know, this league is a marathon.

Hecky has made effective subs recently but poor decision to pull Doyle and not Berge. Berge played 2 full intl games, was put out of position on left and Doyle was our best mid - upping the pace and always looking to play forward and slide people in.

Doyle was everywhere and creating urgency. 6/10 from Berge today, but he’s always got that moment of magic so I see the appeal of leaving him on

 

[HarryHaslam]

QPR is now a must win
