Good point! For all the possession, they only had one shot on target. Can't even remember other chances, if any!

He exists. Was on the pitch in the celebrations just now.

Another win. Another clean sheet. Points are all that matters these days. First half performance sluggish. Second half performance was more controlled and defensively very solid. Jakub only had one save to make. The squad still needs significantly strengthening though.

Man of the match. Fair play.

Credit where credit is due. He's done alright today!

So intelligent by Monga.

Monga assists for Ricardo!

Yes Jakub!

Ricky would be off if that was PL.

I'd be shocked if Birmingham don't score today. We're doing fvck all this half.

I swear it's this solution every half time Although I perhaps wouldn't take off Soumare just yet.

Skipp definitely did. And Soumare early on when they tracked back from our free kick.

If it says anything at all, it HAS to show the board we need a more agile and capable striker. Fine having Ayew around if he's not gonna be sold, but he cannot be our starting striker every game after Monday. Lone striker isn't his forte. Not even close. Have him support a striker fine. But anything other than that no thanks.

Think he's doing alright with what he has. Get Winks on and hopefully Page will be more involved.

Half time. Strong start and to take the lead, but since then it's been a bit dull. Soumare has been good defensively. We have absolutely no outlet other than Fatawu. I'd bring Winks on for Skipp because he's doing fvck all on or off the ball. At least with Winks on we'll get the ball forward much quicker. Mavididi needs more of the ball because he's had very little. It's one of those games again where if he doesn't see a lot of it, he's a bit shaky when he does get it. Need more urgency and not be so cautious. It'll only invite pressure and eventually be worn down.

And yet we're still slogging around instead of going for a 2nd!

It seems the perfect game for Winks...

Won't be long before Birmingham realise they just need to play it quicker round our midfield and in front of our defence and they'll create more chances.

Soumare reverting back to type. Wayward pass backward when it should be going forward.

Commentator reckons Skipp does a 'box to box job in midfield'...

I miss days we used to be able to break at lightning speed. Few times we've been gifted the ball but not driven forward with it.

If we had a competent midfield when on the ball it'd make a world of difference.

How's that not a yellow? About his 4th foul as well.

Gotta kill their momentum and keep the ball for a few mins.

And Ayew has gone into his selfish phase of keeping the ball...
