Birmingham (H) - Match Thread

[Richmondfox]

Okoli needs to sharpen up.  Too slow with his passes as they press really well. Nearly lost it there by wanting to turn around and pass back. 

[studentofthegame]

Rough from Page so far but this kind of game time is so valuable and he will learn

Why the booing for Gray? Left because he wasnt getting regular football, wasnt an arsehole 

 

We have a massive thick section of our fan base that just do shit because they think it's what you're meant to do with no actual thought put in. Just copying other fans. 

 

Like the ****ing idiots that used to sing about Yuki Abe eating dogs because United did about Park and they were too stupid to realise Japan and Korea are different countries. 

 

[Jaspa]

Not understanding the Dimmy booing, maybe abit of panto villain. Scored a very important goal for us away at Cardiff.

Page needs bedding in, looks too raw to be starting atm.

I don't think so, only will get better with more game time

[TrentFox]

Page has had a grim set of touches - including nearly butchering rhe goal. Hope he finds his confidence.

A really quality forward and a reality quality centre mid and we'd be half decent. 

 

Spend the Bilal money on Rego on loan from Benfica and bringing in Ivanovic and we could actually be vile to defend against.

[tylesta]

Birmingham back off Leicester as they maraud forward.

 

There's hesitation from Ethan Laird which allows Louis Page to work the ball to Abdul Fatawu who cuts onto his left foot just inside the box and whistles one into the top corner past Jakub Stolarczyk.

[The Doctor]

we're looking quite lightweight. Very easily knocked off the ball 

[Noahfence]

This is a good experience for Page. This is what a lot of people have been calling for (me included)

I'd prefer if he was a bit of a gobshite rather than just ignoring us.

Hamza having a good game. 

Making Hamza Captain seems to be a great move from Marti. 

[FoxesWalk]

Our tempo this game is much, much better than anything under Marti so far. Bravo 👏🏼 

[StanSP]

Mavididi has quite a big scar/mark down behind his left ear. 

 

Has he always had it?!

Not over Winks for me. Give him 30 mins build it up. Not knocking the lad but just looks like he needs building in to Championship level. Big jump for him.

[lgfualol]

Our players slip all the time are they wearing plimmies

[Tommy Fresh]

Remember when ours fans clapped Maddison every corner he took last year 

[ramboacdc]

Gray has surely knackered that shoulder. Credit for trying to keep going. Wouldn't be surprised if hes dislocated it

[copunk]

Theres alot of space in the middle when we attack, need to exploit that 

[MC Prussian]

Demarai Gray wasn't the most likable player we had, but booing him seems rather unnecessary.

 

I didn't even know he'd signed for Brum.

Yup I kind of agree but Winks don't want to play for us so all for this lad getting minutes.

For all his limitations, he's a scrapper and combative. You need that at this level, and it's good to see him lead by example.

That’s my point 

 

Very lethal but predictable 

Robben and salah made a name for themselves as being some of the best in the world and that’s pretty much all their games are and were

[Suzie the Fox]

Feel for Gray he looks in pain  

[FoxyPalace.com]

Have they sprayed the pitch with WD40 ?
