[Archived] Birmingham City 2-1 Rovers

[G Somerset Rover]

I hope he has got an injury for example, because at the moment his loan has been a complete waste of everybody's time. Good to see that Hughes has realised the threat of Pennant and got Lucas on him. Comon Rovers!!!

[James No. 7]

It's nice to see our four best defenders in the same line-up, even if two of them are out of position.

I'm not a big fan of Gray so I'm glad he has been dropped, even if it may or may not be due to performance.

Neill at left back....hmmm sounds like a Souness tactic. Expect Neill not to last the 90 minutes. Pongolle , whats the point of him even being here if he aint gonna getta game?

[Oklahoma]

After seeing the line up, i'm not very confident.

[Tango]

Well nice to see Lucas Neill helping Brad out; "Cross by Jermaine Pennant (Birmingham), shot by Julian Gray (Birmingham) right-footed from centre of penalty area (12 yards), save (parried) by Lucas Neill (Blackburn). "

We're second best at the moment by the looks of it. Their getting some good crosses in! Luckily Heskeys missing a lot.

[Tango]

Pennant off to be replaced by Melchiot. By the sounds of it the ref's pandering to the crowd a fair bit and we're starting to get into it. Come on you Blues!

[Esulx]

Steven Reid has been fouled 5 times... they must see him as a threat in the centre of the park.

[G Somerset Rover]

Comon boys, judging by the radio commentary, we havent remotely created anything again. Thank God Sutton still likes us judging by the sound of his sitter.

[Exiled in Toronto]

We have been under-whelming again so far. Since our charge for Europe became official we've hardly registered a shot on goal in the last 4 games. I like the look of Bentley playing in the hole - it gives us options to pass the ball up the pitch we don't have with @#/?.

Terrible open goal miss by Sutty and another couple of good chances for Brum. Glad Pennant has gone off though. Wouldn't mind him instead of the overgrown Koala Bear lumbering around on the right wing.

We're lucky to be evens.

[Blueboy Downunder]

we seem to be playing to many mid ranger passes in the air, instead of along the ground. bearing in mind the conditions, would have though second half sparky will us playing a little differently. i just feel that if we get a chance to score then we will take it, a good chance and not something from outside of the box etc etc

[brfcshabba]

Sergio is on for MGP

[AggyBlue]

Peter on or Pederson for second half

[Exiled_Rover]

Sergio Peter has done more in five minutes than Gamst has in three matches.

[Rovers Air Force]

1-0 brum

[Exiled_Rover]

We've been pants since the Spuds game, unfortunately. 4th place was well within our grasp, but we're firing on 1 cylinder

[brfcshabba]

A point will be good given the situation now

[Philly Rover ®]

A chance to help send the Big Club down and we're plain and simply not taking advantage. Come on Rovers.

[Exiled_Rover]

A point was always going to be good considering our form. We're going to struggle now though.

[RovertheHill]

Not normally a doom-monger but if we continue this form we'll be lucky to get another point all season.

That said, we'll probably lose tonight and then stuff Chelsea...

[Cocker]

Brum already had loads of injuries and they loose Pennent and Heskey tonight and we still cant do anything

[Craigman]

The players just simply don't want the European spot ! We should not be losing this one !

[tony gale's mic]

i think the side is just plain running out of steam.

[promoted2001]

Well I predicted a loss, looks like I might be right. What are the odds for Newcastle to come 6th now?!

[Exiled_Rover]

End of Todd for the season then?
