Birmingham in good form but they always seem like a club that is one bad result away from a crisis

They looked shit hot against Albion the other night in fairness

Yeah its just the same stats you were pointing to around christmas in our league one winning season you numpty.

It isn’t - are we showing relegation form over the last 46 games — yes or no?

We started a new season 6 games ago…

With a weaker squad and declining form against same opposition

Like the team we lost 5-0 to away last season.

Its far too early to start this crap.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Its far too early to start this crap.

That said the fixture schedule up to the World Cup would be hideous even for a squad that wasn’t paper thin.

While agreeing its too early to start the we're doomed nonsense if you're comparing results to the corresponding fixture last season Luton is the only one we've improved on, admittedly we've played 2 teams who weren't our league last season.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Wilson just looks nervous and indecisive to me. I think the defence prefers Moore behind them.

Yeah Wilson inspires no confidence at all, get Moore back in the goal

The 3 promoted teams also look a lot better than last season

Rotherham had a brilliant start but may be losing their manager soon to Huddersfield

 

[ccfcmad1]

Work with a fair few blues fans all confident and cocky about tomorrow, come on city would love to walk in work Monday with them avoiding me

 

[Macca]

Little more confident about this one than previous games but like most away games I'll take a point

 

[Seaside-Skyblue]

Back in reality, we have 2 points from 6 games - of course we look like relegation fodder.

Shush I'm not ready for reality. I'll stick to my warped semi-positive, sky blue tinted perspective for now. Can't wait for Wembley.

Moore is the superior goalkeeper imo.
Until the errors this season, he's been one of our best keepers we've had in the last few years.
Wilson gives me the same panic when the ball is in the box as Lee Burge did

You hit the nail on the head when you said "until the errors this season"
What he has achieved in the past is irrelevant today, at the moment his form is atrocious and he looks devoid of all confidence. You can't pick a player on past performance, if you could we'd still have Oggy between the sticks.

If you continue to pick a player who is so obviously out of form, what message are you sending to the rest of the squad?

After the start to the season we’ve had, O’Hare last minute injury, Hyam last minute sale, no home games. I just think six games is too little to draw any conclusions. We’re crap now, but I’d rather than than randomly crap when nothing has happened.

Weve got O’Hare to come back, which is massive. And hopefully a CB in Jan, and who knows if a big sale happens a couple more. Plus 22 home games. Plenty of time yet.

Can see where you're coming from but I think Moore is only going to get confidence back if he's playing regularly as he hasn't become a bad keeper overnight.
If Moore isn't good mentally at the moment and is out of the firing line to sort himself out fair enough, but I think we should always have the best keeper on the pitch if possible.
Obviously would love Wilson to prove me wrong though and I assume he will start tomorrow

No. Since the 1999/2000 season 53 points would keep you up. One exception being 2012/13. Peterborough relegated on 54.

3-1 sky blues . Season starts here #Godbless theQueen

we’ve had one home game which we lost.
We’ve not won in 11 games. Last win funnily enough against Blues. Our home form was awful last season in the end. After the first 6 home games, we only won 2 or 3 after that. So 3 wins in 17 at home. This season is mirroring the end of last season which is a worry

One game isn’t a trend and a poor start isn’t a poor season. We need to stop shipping silly goals, which we’ve shown before we can do.

Ultimately it’s an issue brought about the the squad that’s available and events and nothing that can be changed until January at this point.

I believe he's saying nothing available for January .

 

[Grendel]

Yes he’s pretty much said no signings in the window.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I suppose hopefully some chance of offloading DaCosta and Hilssner back to clubs in their respective homelands

 

[clint van damme]

They'll be back in the squad at this rate

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

They'll be back in the squad at this rate

If we’re still on 2 points by then I say we go full Hilssner

 

[wingy]

Whoever said we were for sale was 6-12 month's off the Mark

you originally said we haven’t played at home yet. Which we have. Our home form second half of the season was shocking. Bit like our form overall but home form has been shocking since Christmas

 

[Skyblue54]

It sounds like a vailed threat to me...if things don't change and he's not supported he's off ??..

My bro‘s a Bluenose living in Cov & it’ll be unbearable seeing his reaction if they win

[procdoc]

Think we may get another draw, 2-2

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Start the team that finished Wednesday and Im confident we can pick up at least a point, head says 1-1 but the optimism in me says 2-0 Cov

Seems to me, if we are not going to sign anyone at all, the only hope is that those on the periphery from the U21's make a more permanent step up.

That only looks like Burroughs and Eccles though doesn't it. We don't have any really promising centre backs who are remotely close to the first team squad do we.
