View From Birmingham — The View From

"No Birmingham fan will be happy with today's performance " "It's been a solid performance but a little toothless from an attacking perspective. I just can't help but feel a more suitable manager gets an extra 5% from these players. I think under CD we finish 9th/10th again, which is reasonable...

Pretty fair view from.

 

[Blade In Flame]

Didn't see the game as I was at an event. I take it from this we were pretty shit then?

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

They mostly watched the same game as we all did. We were poor, not sure about sh1te but definitely there for the taking. Did you run out of ink, cause there was no "second best team in Sheffield" pokes? Still, thanks Roy

 

[The Crab]

Cheers Roy

 

[Harry's Game]

They were correct.. the better side quite clearly..

They will be top half flirting with the play offs..

We will be bottom half flirting with relegation

 

[GodricBlade]

Cheers Roy.
We weren’t shite but other than that, a pretty fair assessment really by most of them.
As for the sponsored silence comment, I was expecting much more from them on the noise front. Hardly heard ‘em all evening.
I don’t like Brm generally.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Great to have your VF back Roy, one of the main benefits of this forum

It was a nothing game between two non descript sides. United were devoid of creativity and continually gave the ball away. Seriki got the ball in good areas but his final ball and passing was poor. Brum played the whole game with zero ambition and were basically just trying to nick it from a set piece.

Ryan One was a bit of a bright spark for us before his injury. We then played the rest of the game with ten men which didn't help us.

 

[Caveblade]

"Two bang average teams" was my assessment. The only difference is, that we have not spent a penny and have flogged our two most creative players, whilst they have signed a couple. Looks like they will always be held back by an overly cautious approach.

As for Solis, he ain't that good. He is just a typical whining cheating modern footballer who goes down at the slightest touch and moans to the ref. Should have been booked when he started counting on his fingers to the ref trying to get someone booked.

Cheers Roygbiv I was expecting a bit more salt from the self entitled blues.

 

[Eza Blade]

Cut and paste. Change Sheffield () for Birmingham and send back

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Bitches. They complement us on the one hand by saying the team ranged from rubbish to bang average but then insult the supporters by saying we took part in a sponsored silence.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Good performance and made them look bang average

Sorry to burst your bubble mate...

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Cheers Roy. I thought it just looked like a first game of the season generally does.
I have no doubt we'll get better and they probably will too.
I'll take that point thanks.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

They were better but it was hard not to be. I’d have been pretty pissed off at that if I was a Brum fan. Toothless up top.

 

[sportsmanblade]

didnt think either side looked like scoring so i dunno why they speak so highly of themselves lol

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

We're just drab and a load of nothingness.

You can see that we're trying to set up to be solid. But there's no pace, no creative spark, no discernible patterns of attacking play. It's almost like selling your two best players was a terrible idea.

 

[Chimpan-A]

Welcome back Roy. Not sure what game they were watching, but they have a very high opinion of their performance. Looked to men like two average sides not wanting to lose.

 

[Kenilworth]

Bitches. They complement us on the one hand by saying the team ranged from rubbish to bang average but then insult the supporters by saying we took part in a sponsored silence.

Nowt to be excited by either side.
It was a complete bore fest.
A nonentity of a game of football.
Two dull and very limited sides going through the motions, trying to give the impression they were professional footballers.
Ragged, scrappy, bereft of entertainment.

 

[JimW1889]

Not sure I’d be happy with that if I were a Birmingham fan. Pretty drab game, they had the better of the play but we had by far the best chance of the game in Bamford. Two mid table teams I think.

We've been a lot worse over the years.

Defensively we were solid and this is against a team who bombarded us with crosses at every opportunity, so in that sense it was a decent test. However that did make us look like the away team who were holding on at times.

Attacking wise, it was pathetic though. If this were a team full of new players I could understand it, but a largely familiar group looked like strangers. It's almost as if selling two of the few players who you could rely on to create chances, and not finding adequate replacements, is a silly thing to do.

Still, a point and a clean sheet so hardly a disaster.

 

[mattbianco1]

I don't think they rate us

 

[Snowflake]

I don't think they rate us

..apart from bias there must be a reason for that ????

 

[Kenilworth]

I don't think they rate us

I don’t think I rate us.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Funny cos before the game they were going to hammer us.

Don't think you could argue with the majority of their comments apart from the sponsored silence jibe. I thought our fans were quite noisy considering the teams performance.
