Match Thread Birmingham City (18 Viewers)

[Grendel]

We were playing Birmingham at 'home' rather than Watford away. Forest did bugger all and in actuality Reading created very little either bar the chances we gave them. In the first half Sheaf played one of theirs into the box and Juke was allowed a free header from point blank, thankfully they came to nothing.

All the change in setup did was remove our attacking threat while the errors remained. Nobody has said 'change the formation' in response to goals going in, they have all said 'stop making stupid mistakes in the last 10 minutes'

Despite the ifs buts maybes and could have been - we played

Our best overall team performances were against Swansea and Bristol - we are leaking goals - your obsession with 2 upfront given this manager hardly ever plays it is odd

We aren't leaking goals because of the shape but we were scoring more goals in the new setup.

How many goals have we scored in the new set up?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

How many goals have we scored in the new set up?

6 in 3 games

We can’t carry on with that system we started with last night G

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We can’t carry on with that system we started with last night G

We scored as many in those 3 games as the previous 8 combined

 

[Grendel]

6 in 3 games

It’s 4 games and the system had zilch to do with a 25 yard header, a wretched goalkeeping effort or a o hare header

Oh and we lost 3 of them conceding 9 goals

Reading + Forest + Watford = 3? Unless you're counting 20 minutes at the end last night as a whole game. System did perhaps have something to do with the abundance of sitters we wasted in the latter 2 games.

Brentford

Didnt We also change it round against Middlesbrough and promptly lost the game?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Brentford

Wasn't a 5-3-2 we had O'Hare in behind the front 2

 

[Londonccfcfan]

I wouldn’t know. The gap is bigger at this level but we did finish top of League 1 with I think a top 8 budget

By that top 8 you mean around 8th.
Was nowhere near top 6.

 

[Grendel]

Wasn't a 5-3-2 we had O'Hare in behind the front 2

We played 2 strikers which was your point

Any evidence?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

No it wasn't my point was specifically 5-3-2 with a central 3

 

[Londonccfcfan]

He’s heading for a relegation as well

Lol. Hold your horses. Predictable from you as usual.

Says the bloke who didn't think we would finish top 8 last year around Christmas time.

Hardly mystic meg.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Any evidence?

I will ask the chairmen for you.

Use your common sense for once.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Results going okay so far, won’t drop into the bottom 3 at least.

 

[Travs]

So after all the crying, we have actually (very marginally) improved our position this weekend...

I’d go 3412 but who plays the role behind the strikers? O’Hare is the obvious answer but has been poor the past few games. The other options are Shipley, Allen or move Hamer further forward. We definitely need to start with 2 strikers.

No we should of beat them and it was pours droppwd

 

[Travs]

Less points dropped than most around us though...

 

[Philosoraptor]

I downloaded the new macOS in the week and have had to play around with a few stuff.

Hope this is okay for everyone.

 

[Covstu]

Our plight seems a little more visual when forest above are on double figures. You would think Wednesday and derby would improve at some stage, they aren’t relegation candidates normally and both switched managers. Still confident but it’s going to be a tough long season. January will be interesting in who we bring in but that will be key on how far adrift we are.

You been proven wrong again. Stop crying about things thay might happen as if they have

Proven wrong ? We should of beat them and it was points dropped

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Based on what? The Forest game was dropped points, this doesn't fall into the same category.

Have a read of the expectations thread then read this one. It's fucking hilarious.

Several people, quite rightly, saying this season will be a struggle and staying up will be an achievment.
Same people melting down.on this thread because the season is turning out as they predicted! Comedy gold.

Based on we played an average side at best who hardly score goals give how we have cut open better teams this season and scored we set up far too negative against the wrong team therefore my opinion is we dropped points

Stop twisting it. All you ever say is the gap to teams above us will widen every fucking week and it doesn't happen
