3 Subs brought on. All strikers.. sure I've seen this before

 

[Chilttheblade]

Burke has never been effective when we’re losing - the other team sits deep and there’s absolutely no space to make use of his pace.

Burke has never been effective ,period

West Brom must be laughing at swapping him for Callum Robinson

 

[McGoaldrick]

Same shit we’ve had for the last 18 months smh

Exactly get brewster on

 

[Chilttheblade]

Exactly get brewster on

Get billy sharp on

 

[TomHeffernan]

Anybody know what’s going off?

 

[Frank the tank]

Our corners just get progressively worse every game

 

[Jan Age]

Tip tap. Tip tap. Tip Tap. Punt. Lose the ball.

repeat x 1000

 

[Jan Age]

Our corners just get progressively worse every game

You mean from just plain old shit to really shit ?

 

[Speedracer]

Fuck off

Think you are clever big gob? News flash, you are not.

 

[Drunk blade]

Get billy sharp on

Nah he's past it get the £25m wonder boy on

 

[Bladey_blade]

Fuck off

Burke has numerous faults but he isn't the one shirking headers to concede a goal or hitting the first man with his cross or constantly sitting on his injured arse because he's out of shape, he's come closest to us tonight in case you missed that

 

[jono_t2000]

Berge single handedly getting the whole Birmingham team booked

 

[Alan Roberts' Jinking Run]

Sharon Osborn

 

[JPSharpy93]

Fuck me Osborn, what was that

 

[Greg.]

So many stupid attempts from way outside the box tonight

 

[originaltrueblade]

Osborne it’s football not rugby league keep the fucking ball down and on target

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

It's gonna be a long, f'kin season

 

[Greg.]

It's gonna be a long, f'kin season

Cheer up, away at Swansea and West Brom next

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Absolutely terrible. Created nothing all game, looked horrendously vulnerable from every cross

 

[Bladeaway]

Bryan Robson would be quite please with tonight’s performance.

 

[Suomi_Blade]

All we need is a "fine margins" comment in the after game press conference and the circle will be complete.

 

[Drunk blade]

Why no jebbison!!!? let's be honest he's the only striker that looks any fucking good, paying £25m for brewster is like paying £80 quid for a fucking pot noodle, he's fucking hiding every time he plays

I suppose at least we can watch brewster do a funny dance in training

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Birmingham have won with ease

and could have scored 3 without any complaints

 

[McGoaldrick]

Honestly what the fuck

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

By "evolution not revolution" it seems we actually meant "a whole new system and style of play which doesn't suit the players we have". Interesting strategy.

 

[riselikeasalmon]

So much money spent, so little quality

[Millhousesblade1889]

Tactically it was like Sunday league stuff. Long ball to moose & Burke and hope for the best. Both full backs looked so worried everytime a cross came in and were unable to prevent a cross coming in. Birmingham will be a mid table team.
