MATCHWATCH : Birmingham City (h) sponsored by an utter shambles

[St Pauli]

Why do we struggle so much when they opposition play high up the pitch when we’re passing it around defence?

It’s a tactic that’s often used against us but there’s no obvious response used against it. Surely the high play must leave a lot of space somewhere for us to play and get in to?

[Trigger]

We’re looking utter shit. 2 chances in a minute.

We'll be fine once they get a player sent off. Hello.

[Jagermesiter1871]

Such a shit half. Dull and uninspired. Birmingham hard to break down. This is going to be tough but we have to step it up if we are to get anything.

[Bristol Paul]

Ejaria having a mare. His tackling is non existent

They;re doing a really good job of it. Our out is often to go long, but their defenders are managing Joao and Meite extremely well at the same time so that isn't on.

[Royal Ginger]

Everything is up the left. That’s where our best players are but Birmingham know exactly what’s coming.

Karanka has done a good job.

Plan B time

[Bristol Paul]

Ejaria having a mare. His tackling is non existent

Just totally pathetic performance. Outclassed as the commentator just said.

Up top I would guess but we only have 1 striker. I'd take ejaria off for Baldock.

[CountryRoyal]

Another goal from outside the box and that truly is game over.

[genome]

yikes

[Zip]

Game done. We have been terrible.

[Jackson Corner]

No more than they deserve one way traffic embarrassing

[Jagermesiter1871]

Anyone else see that 2nd goal coming?

[NewCorkSeth]

I'm confused, how was that not offside? Hogan standing in an offside position right in front of him?

[leon]

Sorry Ejaria is playing like a fcuking twat. Trying to take on the whole team and losing the ball when all he had to do is pass the fcuking thing.

And now we’re two down.

[bcubed]

But as in our other losses, both cracking goals

Toral looks a handful

[Snowflake Royal]

Offside striker for B'ham unsighted Cabral on that. Still, never going to get that ruled out.

2-0 is all over, we've got a goal in us most games if we're in touching distance, but that's it here.

Just credit to a super B'ham performance so far.

Press us hard and well and we can't cope. Always the way.

presumably that is what Morrison and Rafael were chatting to the ref about

[Royal Ginger]

They’re all a bit off colour.

Moore and Morrison and Laurent are doing all the work, the rest of them? Meh.

[CountryRoyal]

Olise needed to play Joao in.
