We played worse during games last year but got points because of set pieces. No, we absolutely didn't. Preston where we had no shots and won 1-0? |

Deans dream is happening, league one budget going back to a league he feels like a big fish in a little pond spending 300k.

Crap first half, much improved in the second until Schofield took off Anjorin & Rudomi, who for me were our best two players. That killed the momentum and how Thomas stayed on the whole game is anybody's guess. Time and again he picked the wrong option, goal aside.
Something to work on, but we need to be on it from the off in the first half. Whatever Schofield said at half time, he needs to be saying it before they kick off.

What has Schofield said about that performance or hasn't he come out?

That's 5 bullying posts on a match thread. Very strange . At half time I said to someone screaming "fuck off Hoyle " that Hoyle want on the pitch . Those players are more than capable of producing better than that first half shitshow . Hoyle wasn't playing centre back . But if you perceive that as me "jumping on others posts " I suggest you get a life “Get a life” 4 From the guy with 1 million posts.. 24/7 on here... classic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🍻 |

Whereas the first 2 games have been pretty grim we've got to let Schofield find his way a bit although he's not helped by a ropey squad and no striker or strikers but there were signs in the 2nd half that we are capable. Not sure if Thomas and Russell are believing their own hype but they need to take a reality check and get their fingers out. Thought Rudoni looked decent 2nd half.

2 games gone, 2 defeats, 2 games where we performed for 20 mins in each, 2 games where there was little "terrier spirit" on show. Need to improve & quickly, I feel Burnley were decent, I doubt very much Birmingham are. I thought we were better today, but that's really not saying much. Frankly a more ruthless side than Burnley would have smashed us. I'm prepared to give DS the benefit of the doubt & time to turn it around and also learn his trade. He's been dealt a lousy hand and he's apparently a decent coach - it would be a shame to lose that potential (if indeed it's there). |

You have to give Danny Schofield a chance and some of the players need to look at them selves instead of thinking their better than what they are.

No, we absolutely didn't. Preston where we had no shots and won 1-0? With the possible exception of Fulham at home, there wasn't a single game last season that looked anywhere near as utterly disjointed and disorganised as what we have seen so far. |

Forest got one point in the first seven games. Town can turn this around, seen glimpses of some good football in this second half and the same in Burnley to suggest so. That being said what installed change at forest was a new manager and I fear the same is needed here. Early days still but DS feels a bit out of his depth, the team has started slow both games and I’m not convinced he knows his best 11 yet. Not the ideal pre season for sure but we can’t sacrifice the first five games to catch up on preparation. Town still a couple of bodies short imo, need a couple of athletic brutes who are just going to run all day. Don’t need any technique really, pass it off to the better ballers. I thought Kasumu was this type of player but sadly crocked after one game. It is possible to turn this around but we don't have the money to give a new coach like Forest did. |

Not difficult for the second half to be better than the first. One (of the few) things we lack is exactly what O'Brien gave us last season, and what the Florists paid for. I keep thinking back to the ladies final. We (imo) dont have a player capable of seeing and executing the pass, or one capable of the take or finish for Englands first goal. In that respect you certainly cant compare that team to our men. Slightly confusing as LOB didn't give us either of those things you mention from the ladies game 🤔 |

People acting like that was ok? We just lost to a relegation contender that was a 6 pointer and an absolute pathetic performance, god forbid who wanted Schofield, another load of BS coming from the club, nothing against him personally but he’s miles off it. People thought we were a relegation contender last season. We weren't. Just because people think Birmingham are a relegation contender doesn't mean they are. Oh they are |

Shocking really these first two games.
No pace in midfield.
Sorba thinks he's too good to run.
Danny Ward sits so deep he might as well partner Hogg.
Ruffels isn't fit to lace Toffs boots.
On the bright side, Tino and Rudi looked decent and showed glimpses of what is to come.
UTT!

DH went for the cheap option, which could lead to relegation so next season might be even cheaper.

LOB may not have been the best in the final third but he could turn defence into attack very effectively, the ladies game was a reference to lack of vision and execution. Hope that helps. |

Both games v Bournemouth, Forest home, Millwall away, Boro home off the top of my head. |

Desperately need an improvement on hogg, ruffles, Lees or REG and a different striker option.

Feel sorry for Schofield - literally dropped in it mid preseason. We needed to quickly appoint two coaches - CC had Chico, Alcoron and DS. DS inherited Chico and it took three weeks (after the first gamee) to appoint some bloke recently released by Brum (so cheap) who DS has never worked with before!
That's simply not setting DS bloke up for success. I don't ever recall a manager not bringing in their own backroom before! It's exceptional - and not a in a good way!
Sadly I fear Danny will be the fall guy when we're bottom at the end of the month
Like I say I feel sorry for the guy

Not sure if Thomas and Russell are believing their own hype but they need to take a reality check and get their fingers out. Thought Rudoni looked decent 2nd half. Apart from the striker who scored obviously, and the other striker who came on as a sub and should have won us a penalty. 🤔 |

Then Deano needs to swallow his pride and take the hit and cough up the dough for someone who can steady the ship. It won’t matter if we’re a more “sustainable” club than everyone else if we plummet down the divisions and lose half the fan base in doing so. |

Not sure if Thomas and Russell are believing their own hype but they need to take a reality check and get their fingers out. Thought Rudoni looked decent 2nd half. Have to disagree art. I said it earlier on - DS is out of his depth and should never have been considered for the role. He looks like a child on the touchline For me, Hoyles judgement was clouded by the interest shown in Schofield from the Belgium club. Dean should take a wide birth when it comes to appointing a coach or manager. |

We look shocking. we look unfit, with no confidence and a lack of desire.
I know they say that you shouldn’t introduce the younger players in to a losing team, but can’t see what we have to lose.
Russell looks like he can’t be arsed
Sorba looks a shadow of his former self
Edmonds Green looks out of his depth
Ruffels looks like he’s never played left back in his life
Ward took his goal well, but he doesn’t hold the ball up and bring other players in to the game
Anjorin and rudoni looked better than the rest, but the rest were as poor as we’ve seen for a while.
Play like that every week and we will go down. It was dreadful. Easy to blame schofield, but Carlos is the one that’s walked out on this squad. Toff and Obrien were both vice captains and they’ve gone too. The team needs some proper leaders to salvage something from this start, before it’s too late
