Honestly, Birmingham are shit and we have made them look very good. Robins needs to fucking get into them at half time.

What's equally obvious here is that MVE belongs at right back. The Latibeaudiere experiment has to stop.

We would have to go to a back 5 though. Not bringing in a winger in January has killed us

 

[Alkhen]

Can't judge any of their ability from today, they are so obviously worried to over do it before Wembley and miss out. Its pretty crap mentally but depressingly inevitably.

Robins needs to kicks some arse at halftime

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Right that’s that game going off for the grand national

Thank fuck, won’t need to read your utter bollocks the entire second half

 

[mark82]

So. To summarise:

Collins: shit
Lats: shit
Thomas: shit
Kitching: shit
Torp: shit
MvE: shit
Palmer: shit

Have I missed anyone SBT?

Simms: shit
Wright: shit

 

[CovLad94]

Haji really doesn't want to defend does he, then again neither does any of the back 4 by the looks of things

 

[Matt smith]

And some fans think we’ll be challenging for autos next year

 

[Otis]

It's not season over. It's only just halftime.

Still a whole half to turn this around. Don't give up yet. If we score next, they will be very, very nervous and shaky and it will be a different game entirely.

Guessing Eccles was rested because he is fatigued. He can surely now play one half though you would have thought.

I think it may well be O'Hare and Eccles on at half time.

Don't give up yet. As bad as we have seemingly been, we can still come back from this.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Then who plays right wing? Tavares?

Always said lack of depth out wide would be our downfall.

Yes, it's less of a problem that Lati playing right back. He is dreadful going forward and not much better defending.

Wright. Not his fault he cost how much he did, but for the money we paid it’s criminal that he gets away with so many magic invisible acts.

 

[Matt smith]

I seriously hope we don’t loose Sheaf , as he’s our stand out performer, week in week out .
Too many not showing any desire today , against these lot !!!!

Sheaf has been poor last few games as have the whole team

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Ultimately the Sakamoto injury and the failure to get in any cover on the wings has killed us this season. We’ve managed to make a decent fist of it with square pegs in round holes for the most part since then but overall it was always going to be difficulty to stay competitive at the top of the division with a RB at RW and a CB at RB.

id rather wright RW and Da Silva Left wing than what we are trying

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Disappointing way to end the season.

If anything Robins can see where things need strengthening for next season.

Just expected a bit more fight and passion at the business end of the season.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Shocking , no idea how to play against these . They’re coming at us with the kitchen sink and Simms , Wright and Torp are headless chickens

 

[Ccfcisparks]

What when we beat Leeds?

 

[TomRad85]

And some fans think we’ll be challenging for autos next year

We might be but we'd need at least 5 very good signings. Fingers crossed its another big summer.

We got goals back quickly from being 2 down .. wasn't it 2-2 at HT?

Sheaf got them both from corners just before half time.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Put O'Hare or Tavares out wide if you really want a 4, or yeah switch to a 5. But he is better defensively there than Lati and can still break forward from that position.

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Birmingham clearly want it more, and we’re clearly faltering - it really is as simple as that, unfortunately.

Realistically, can we just collectively accept that the playoffs is a bridge too far? Last season, I don’t know how we did it, but we did; the momentum was incredible.

Interesting point that someone made about Lawrence leaving and our defence looking worse since.

 

[MalcSB]

One of the most appalling performances I've seen from us in some time. Unacceptable. Players obviously not bothered about going up.

To be fair, most people on here prioritised the FA Cup.

 

[Briles]

Give him player of the season then

Nah bidwell for me

 

[SkyblueTexan]

We will win this 4-2….oh shoot that was last season…forget what I said

 

[Matt smith]

[skybluecam]

I really don’t understand how we can put in the performance we did vs Leeds and then follow it up with these two games.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Torp would get a bollocking for leaving a man free on the edge of the box at Sunday league level never mind the championship

Yep, just stood watching like he was ball watching for the first goal. He's not a defensive midfielder so no idea why we're playing him there.

Why does this result have anything to do with next year? Game isn’t even over yet.

Goal before 60 and everything changes.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Sure, even that.

 

[stupot07]

Birmingham's front 4 have had 85 touches or the ball, ours have had 50.

The shot map

It really isn't working

Get players on who want to graft and keep them in at Wembley if they do. Wright has been half-heartedly jogging around. Not good enough.
I imagine some players will be pleased to be subbed thinking that they will be fit to start the semi.
Hope O'Hare, Kelly, Eccles and Tavares come on at HT.

I'm adding Sheaf to the list terrible performance all round.

Some have definitely played themselves out of the game.

Presumably because Eccles is too knackered to start

 

[Nick]

I understand him giving it until HT.

Meanwhile they made it 2-0.

 

[Ashdown]

One eye from many individuals on next week I think. Blues playing like they are desperate for the points. Cov playing like it doesn’t matter that much.
COH and Eccles for Torp and Lati
