Perhaps get Gilbert on for Berry, who I think has been booked, and this ref is card happy. Coventry having his worse game for us today, so perhaps Anderson as well?
Jones has some decisions to make. Campbell and Small have not been in the game up to the 44th minute when Campbell provides our best moment. He either sacrifices one or changes the shape as the pair of them are reproducing the performance they gave Tuesday night and we can't afford to carry players today.
Will be interesting to see how we fair later on, we like late goals and are a very fit 90 minute team. But saying that, they have quality on the bench.
We've not done anything of note going forward but have had the ball up their end a good 4/5 times but can't do a thing with it, at the back we've been worse than of late but it took an individual error to let them in, and Brum, since the goal, have spent more time throwing themselves around and whining like a team that's 1-0 with 10 minutes to go. Add on top of that the ref is all over the place as well.
Brum have looked good for the most part of course but still...
Point being proved here that if Small can’t dominate his man physically, he has nothing else to offer. Not ready for the Championship yet.
You might be right but he hasn't had much of the ball. Had maybe two runs at their full-back, both when they'd doubled up. He looks nervous as do the rest of the team. If you judged our midfield similarly, you'd have to draw the same conclusion.
I agree with the lack of service but then Small and Campbell must try something different, more of the same just makes their markers think they have them in their pockets.
I'm fairly confident that Cochrane will play Premier League football in the future, no shame in Small not dominating him
Agree with this too.
I wasn’t shitting on Small - he’s a dangerous player against most teams in this league. But he’d face this calibre of full back most weeks in the Championship and he’s getting no change out of Cochrane.

Sign the contract Thierry.
I can see Birmingham doing well in the Championship, I don’t think it’s true every full back will be up to the same standard.

He didn't much change out of Edun either, if teams are tightening up on him and Campbell then we should have a plan B to deal with that.
As probably already mentioned. I really would've considered giving Leaburn a start for this. Godden ,Campbell and Berry largely anonymous as I suspected they would be. Nothings sticking.

as it stands, we'd be playing wrexham in the POs - would much rather wycombe or stockport!
