Think we need someone capable of holding it up front when we do counter. Campbell runs into dead ends and tbh Kanu hasn't really done much for me either.
We look good pressing their defence but apart from the penalty we have had no shots on target. Anderson is having a poor game and there has been no threat at all down our right hand side, so Kanu the right sided striker has hardly been in the game. This side does not look full of goals.
My stream has no comms (and Callum’s doesn’t seem to work in the UK) so no idea what any of the comms have said but seems to me like we’re missing a big lad up top. If he hadn’t missed the pen I’d say Aneke for TC at half time but don’t want to totally wreck his confidence. Doc for Anderson wouldn’t be a bad shout either
We've got lots of energy but a real lack of quality. Birmingham have rode their luck at times, though. Love to see them play out like this on a pitch like Stevenage.
It’s been how I was expecting. With Birmingham being a possession based team I knew it was going essentially be like the Wigan game.
Only difference is Birmingham have been better in attack, as have we.
Anderson for me is just not good enough (currently) to start as many games as he does. I understand he presses a lot, but he can be so sloppy with the ball when we have it.
I find our play very confusing. It looks like a cross between a game of playground British Bulldogs and Mike Reid's Runaround! For the younger viewers, a bit chaotic.
Our press is great and very dynamic, but I'm not sure we have the firepower to put the numerous chances away.
Brum have worked out how to play against us already. We need a plan B second half to turn this around. Has Jones got one?

Campbell and Kanu are both great to use for the press, but not really effective for anything else in this system.
As with Wigan we’re going to have to figure out how we stop opposition defenders stepping in to midfield to create an overload.

On the other hand we've struggled to create much when we've got the ball.
