Just seen where it’s from I’m surprised. Interestingly on that he’s got the highest rating and so mom

I thought thier keeper had a good game.
stopped 2 or 3 good crosses caught everthing in the air and even made 3 good saves.

I thought Hyam had a very Hyam game in that he did the basic defending very well. Kept tight on his man, didn't give Deeney anything, won a lot in the air etc. but then his passing forward was just awful, put the ball out of play a lot and when he made his man they were often in tight spots.
His other weakness, playing people on side, wasn't exposed at all as Blues' forward line had no pace whatsoever.

Good keeper were we linked with him in the summer?

That latter weakness was even exposed by the lightning fast David McGoldrick

Yes we were. He's on loan from Wolves though. Think we can be pleased we got Moore on a free.

We scored 3 goals, two games ago. Frustrating not to get the result but there's no serious problem in the goals department.
In my opinion, if the ref had made the correct decision and we had been given the pen. I think we're talking about a 3/4 goal victory.
O'Hare, Hamer, Hyam (I'm sure there are others) were simply brilliant.
In interest of fairness, Robins could be a little proactive with subs. Walkers 5 minute cameo was bizarre, why only 5? Kane could have come on for Dabo as well.

If we drop points like this, it wont't be long before we're out of the top 6.

Blues should’ve been dead & buried tonight - they looked dire - their sole tactic just being to lump it forward to Hogan/Deeney,(who was absolutely anonymous anyway),or just to try & nick a goal from those pointless long throw-ins
They played total anti-football & were just content to shithouse their way to a draw…awful awful team…anybody’d think they’d just been promoted to the Championship on that evidence

Just home now. Disappointed not too get all 3 points. We're not creating too many clear cut chances and the few we do we can't seem too score from. Had our best chances towards the end but snatched at them. Final ball was again lacking. Thought Kane should of been on for Dabo after 65 minutes. Dabo didn't have a bad game but think Kane has a bit more quality with his passing/crossing and was unlucky too be dropped in the first place. Birmingham were very poor and on that performance will be fighting relegation all season. They had a lot of players out today so might improve when they come back in.

Looking at that we should get Moore in midfieldWhoscored.com

We were pretty poor last night. Our ability to always make the wrong decision in the final third was so frustrating. To not put that Birmingham team away is a pretty poor result.
Kane must be frustrated not to have gotten on as we were on top most of the game and Dabo’s crossing left a lot to be desired.
It certainly wasn’t a game for Kelly. At times we were playing with 4 CBs cause he was so deep. Playing Sheaf from the start would’ve advanced our midfield up the pitch and given us more of an advantage in my opinion.
The blues defenders did a great job on Gyokores, especially their number 21 (definite penalty though).
Overall very disappointed with the result but another clean sheet and we’re back up to 4th for the time being so can’t be too critical.

Not disheartened with a point and a clean sheet. Should have been 3. We were the dominant team and the only team trying to play football and win. Derby games are always tough so a clean sheet isn’t bad.
I thought Kane didn’t deserve to be dropped. I thought Gyko worked hard as always but seemed really lightweight. Dabos first touch and first time pass at times is Jekyll and hide. COH was ace.
We play some cracking football, just not deadly enough in the final 3rd and our decision making. We needed to play 5 yards further up.
As for Brum, dear or dear. 1880 tactics. Big and physical and a long throw and nothing else. All Bowyer is teaching them is how to be dirty. They’ve got loads of players out but haven’t we all?
Woods red - all day long! Clear intent to take Maatsen out which is cynical and violent conduct. The ball was 5 yard ahead of him and in frustration takes a full swing at our lad. Red all day.

It was a frustrating night, 1st half we had so much possession but didn't really know what to do with it, not a Godden type of game if his goals have dried up as well god help us

This is 2 points dropped rather than 1 point gained imo
What I dont understand is why the referees give us nothing, surely its endangering the safety of our players

Ours was a penalty all day. Problem is them types of jostling in the box are rarely given.
Blues fans think it was too and also think they should have had one. Not sure why you should have a penalty for kicking the back leg of our player. It was a coming together. Never a pen.

It was back to the days of watching teams like Wycombe, a team that came to get a point thank god they didn’t sneak a goal it would have been even worse, you really need to score early against teams like that.

You know its bad when their own fans wouldnt give the ball back.
Disagree. Kelly won a ridiculous amount of headers infront of Deeney from both long throws and goal kicks. All it took was one Denney flick on and they may have been in

With the injuries they are carrying I'm not surprised they were defensive. The last two games I think we've possibly come accross the 2 strongest centre back lines in the Championship. It was frustrating but I think not entirely surprising.

I hear what you are saying, but Sheaf could have done that and been a little bit more progressive on the ball. Robins will have had his reasons though I suppose.
We’ve seen it against Derby and a couple of others. When teams set themselves up not to lose and play for a point we struggle a little. They also pushed right up at goal kicks which made it trickier to play out from back. If opposition double team Ohare we probably lack a bit of pace to unlock teams
As Clive said (several times !) when I was driving home we should take it as a compliment
Im a big Kelly fan and he did his job last night. Thought hamer played really well off him first half as well, however, Sheaf should’ve been on at some point, especially when they went down to 10. Robins must’ve had his reasons as you say

Sheaf could've done that. I don't think Kelly had a bad game, in fact he did his job very well but we could've been more progressive with Sheaf on the pitch.
As great as Sheaf is on the ball, i think he would've been bullied in there yesterday. We had enough chances/positions to score/create chances while also keeping it very tight at the back

Winning some headers isn’t his only job.
He’s play out is not unoriginal img at all even though he’s on his preferred side.
Birmingham played compressed - so no chance of his other trick of playing people Onside
