Match Thread Birmingham City away (2 Viewers)

We're happy with the point & rightly so, the hissy fits on here are cringeworthy.

It's just frustrating. I'd say we were the better team, we effectively gifted them the point with the pen.

It was important not to lose today, but we need to start stringing wins together when we are the better team, otherwise we'll be relying on the last few games of the season.

Someone else needs to buy a dictionary

Was leaving the game to play out and not having any input on it brave y the management?

 

[cc84cov]

Shipley on over Allen is strange I bet he’s sat there thinking wtf I got dropped playing well then score and still can’t get on

 

[procdoc]

Disappointed not to win, would have taken 4 points from the last two games if offered it beforehand though. Some of the hyperbole on here is pathetic

 

[Frostie]

Why aren't we trying to win?

Away point against a team around us. Keeps them below us, extends our cushion over the bottom 3, good result.

 

[Paxman II]

Slightly annoyed we did not go on and win it. We missed Mc.Fazdean at the back. Surely Shipley has been given enough chances to prove himself? Why we didn't bring Allen on is a puzzle. We had heavy legs second half on a heavy pitch. Could have won it if I'm honest. We will need to be better against Forest.

 

[Adge]

Don't think we had any intent to try and win that.

Usual boring predictable inane match day rambling as per usual. Rinse and repeat...

 

[Nick]

I'm convinced he put Shipley on instead of Allen because he was scared of Birmingham height.

Allen is better in the air than Shipley.

Why was biamou looking to play that back

No Striker's instinct.

I’m not sure why everyone’s so perplexed by the lack of subs. We haven’t got a strong squad. I agree we could do with fresh legs but he obviously doesn’t rate some of them. There must be some sort of collective amnesia with people desperate to get Baka on.

Not a bad point.

While I like Allen personally, he does seem to have got better in the hive mind by not playing so much.

 

[skyblueinBaku]

I'm a bit disappointed at the result. Before the match I thought we would win. Still, it's another point. Onwards and upwards.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Bit of a disappointing second half really. Felt like the game was there for the taking at half time but they tweaked their system and we didn’t respond. Looked like we were happy with a draw from an hour onwards. Not a bad result by any means but really feel like we could have won that.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

They needed three points at this stage more than us but didn’t look that likely. They are in big trouble as they look very poor.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Shipley dreadful going back towards his own goal. Nothing new.

He's abysmal.

and I think he wanted a left footed midfielder to help Sam out.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

We were better than them. The subs we made on Wednesday won the game for us and we didn't bother to make them today.

I wonder why?

Gyo looks like he may be an important player for us

True though. Stick to your pub gags

 

[mark82]

Bollox - it’s a marathon.

Was a not lose game

Think we were poor in the second half. They were there for the taking but we didn't go for it. Disappointing.

Derby going to climb the league now. Think we can forget about them still being in the race.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

A draw in a game we couldn’t afford to lose. That’ll do.

I mean besides dabo with the I jury we made the other 2 subs when we were winning already

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

They made as many changes as possible to try and win that, we just did the routine Shipley on after an hour. Did not push on from a bright first half

 

[Deleted member 5849]

He looked excellent today I thought. Get him a better understanding with some of his teammates, and he could fly.

 

[Skyblue_CP]

Take the point, but can someone please give me a good reason how Shipley got the nod ahead of Allen, comes on looks lively and scores, yet Shipley gets the nod??? If i was Allen id be fuming.

 

[Grendel]

As we seem to be building survival purely on loans I’d be trying to get Gyorkes on a loan for next season

He looks strong can run at players and has some presence. Definitely better bet than biamou or Bakayoko

 

[Liquid Gold]

Yeah I know but they closed the game out for us. Robins was very good on Wednesday closing that game out. He could have done the same today but his instinct is so defensive.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Take the point away from home. Was important not to lose. 7pts clear of Rotherham who are third from bottom.

 

[larry_david]

Literally a weeek ago MR said max is playing with a ligament injury. Last 20 today he's knackered, game is over. Why not make a change!?

They've introduced 5 subs due to covid to stop injuries allowing more options to freshen it up and how many times does he refuse.

Allen scored and played well last 15, baka showed energy and desire and what's their reward? To watch Shipley get 30 mins in cm who touched the ball less times that Wilson with his feet.

 

[Frostie]

brentford 7 wycombe 2...theyve imploded

Have you not heard? They've adapted to the league much better than us

 

[clint van damme]

Lapado with the winner

 

[mark82]

Tuesday is a must win now with the fixtures we have coming up.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Enjoyed that
Especially after liquid gold called me out for being angry

 

[Adge]

I assume you didn't watch the game?

They were absolutely there for the taking.

Yes and we had the chance-only for Biamou to not take it.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Gyökeres is really good.

Robins is an arrogant c**t.

He really needs to explain this obsession with Shipley. Allen should punch him.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I wonder why?

Wanted the draw. I know that's Robins' way but I'm always of the opinion that you go for the win. Beating Brum late on would have killed them off for weeks.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Robins hates making subs when the game is level. Bet if you looked through all the subs he’s made this season the vast majority would be when one side is in the lead.

 

[Dirk Turpin]

Not managed to catch all the game today but saw the last 20 mins. Odd to see Shipley on before Allen given the energy he brought against Wednesday. Gyokeres looked class from what I saw of him, a real physical presence which we've lacked this season.
