v Birmingham City (h) - 29/11/23 - 7.45 pm

Good effort from Brittain, its something 

[rock steady]

Extremely average half. At best.

[Sweaty Gussets]

First 15 mins we were noughties Barca.

Next 20 we were noughties Barnet.

Last 10 we've been gaining control again. 

[TugaysMarlboro]

He's an absolute workhorse is Brittain.

[moerpho]

Half time. That was…well….not good. Take off Travis, put on Garett and move Brittain to right back. Something seems off with our positioning and formation bar Hill and Carter. Should do better like the first 10 mins at home. Poor freezing supporters deserve better.

Tronstad has been awful, continually giving the ball away.

We're very reliant on Moran tonight for any sort of creativity. 

He’s not alone. Wharton, Trav have been atrocious. Trondstad off at half, Trav is DCM, Brittain to RB and Siggy on.

Birmingham look to have us figured out already.

If JDT is out thought by Rooney, then good help us all 

If Birmingham have us figured out they are doing an awful job of it.

Another frustrating game but Rovers the better team. We went backwards when Dolan went off though.

Referee shit, Birmingham should have had a sending off. Then he couldn't stop handing out yellow cards for the least bit of a thing.

These are there for the taking and we seem to be sinking to their level. Regressed badly after the first 15. Shake them up Tomasson. Change of tactics required.

[CambridgeRover]

Travis back to national league standard. How can you be a professional footballer and not be able to pass the ball

[BankEnd Rover]

Poor overall…started really well but since Dolan has gone off we’ve eased Birmingham into the game. Our home form just isn’t like it was last season and personally feel it will be the downfall to our season. 
 

Id be amazed if we win this, can see a Bacuna 1-0 win. 

[BigBar]

On a separate note Ipswich are absolutely flying. Battering Millwall 3 nil after 38 mins.

[Devon Rover]

Their finishing has been rubbish but I really like the directness of Bacuna and Dembele. I genuinely feel they are more like to score. Big half time team talk needed. More urgency required...

[superniko]

A lot of talk about Birmingham should have had a sending off but I’d argue Travis has been more blatant in deserving 2 yellows. He got very lucky in the 2nd minute. 

[moerpho]

Travis off for Siggy

Probably because it happened before Lewis went full Travis.

[West Yorks Rover]

Brum's last 4 away games : W 0  D 0  L 4    F 2  A 9

Surely we can win this, can't we ?

[moerpho]

Sammie!!!!!

[superniko]

Wharton’s pass taking all the comms by surprise, even Hyam. 
Superb finish by Sammie. New contract, same Sammie 

[yankfan]

What a goal!  Get in!  Great ball by Wharton

[booth]

Good old Szmoddy!

[LDRover]

Never in doubt !!! Sammie with great composure there.

[BigBar]

Ole ole ole 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[danger19_80]

Sky coverage is all over the shop tonight. Zoom out ffs.

[superniko]

If we can hold on here and go to bottom of the league in 7th place it’ll be a huge confidence boost!

[BigBar]

Let's get back in firm Siggy and bag one for yourself tonight son.
