He was - his flock around the corner contributed to the goal and he’s worked well defensively.

Ayew’s dropped too deep meaning we have no out ball. Before the goal, him, Mav and Fatawu were staying really high - giving us a chance to beat the press - and we were defending a lot higher. It needs some tweaks at halftime - not in terms of players, but tactical instruction - to be braver and play a higher line and get the balls into the front 3 earlier so it’s Birmingham turning and going backwards, rather than us sitting and trying to break from our own half.

I think Soumare has been excellent… and Skipp deserves some praise for that half too.

For all of Birmingham’s pressure / posession… 1 shot, 0 on target. Marti to regroup them at halftime. Daka for page might be a choice - we need a threat in behind.

I think Birmingham’s long ball tendency has forced our back line to play deeper… which has meant our forward press isn’t as effective. We’ve also been guilty of giving the ball back too easily.

Ayew’s defending too deep - he needs to be available as an out ball.

Definitely, some good defending going on, but starting to creep deeper and that’s a worry.

Could do with a spell on the ball, bit of play in Birmingham’s half. Losing it too quickly atm.

Soumare is a beast in there!

Yeah boys!

Soumare’s starting to purr in that midfield!

Birmingham certainly like to go long don’t they!

The pyro out, Marti in a suit - suggests we mean business tonight!

Well maybe I shouldn’t have trusted the BBC! Sky showed them as a 4-2-3-1. But still - not a back 3 - which we seemed to have struggled to break down.

It’s the Foxestalk way!

So Brum are going 442 it seems… that could suit us!

Ah, the old undisclosed fee… so was it us embarrassed at the amount we received or is it Leeds not wanting to let slip how many pound notes they’ve spent?

Official

I’m sure I saw £15 million banded about somewhere - as a figure we were looking for.

Well the good news for those of you not sold on Marti is that it’s looking increasingly likely that Russell Martin will be available to replace him!

Listed winner at for King Power Racing at York today… Rudkin ain’t going anywhere!

The context for this was to make their commentary easier by not having two Thomas’ on the pitch at the same time. It wasn’t an endorsement (or criticism) of Luke Thomas’ performance.

Come on guys… this doesn’t work as well if you don’t all go with the same image. Another miss by Jordan Strays too far away from the meme for me Needs some work AI generated rubbish! Too much going on Indecisive! Wrong context Jon. Absolutely horrible - don’t use this again James Lack of club colours Makes us look like Tesco value FC. Can we make sure we’re all on the same page for future games please.

Seems appropriate

Never in doubt 😂
