Best game to have an off day for the majority of the squad, no one really came out of it with any "credit" - Didnt expect anything from the game really, so not going to lose any sleep over it.
Just hope it was partly down to the "talent" amongst the Birmingham team that we put in this poor performance, and like the Rotherham defeat we'll bounce back from it.
This is the kind of performance we used to put in against the better sides in the division in 2910/11. Not steam hollering but just a bit better in all areas and mostly comfortable.
Birmingham may have solidified their spot at the top of the table ... but on the flip side they're still a bunch of muggy, cheating ****s with no class.
Could have been so much worse. Went toe to toe with the league leaders and not our best performance so 1-0 seems credible. We'll make up ground again in the coming weeks.
Not concerned by that. Brum showing us what 30m gets you in this league - a team that is way, way better than all others. But we played pretty well all concerned bar the mistake by Coventry for the goal.
Birmingham have a completely justified arrogance about them - talking about promotion like it's a given, everything that goes against them is diabolical, and all other teams are mere footnotes. I don't like it, but it's been completely earned through the team they have built and the results they get.
Without doubt a game of what if. Apart from a mistake from Cov which led to their goal i think we played ok despite some of ours having bad games. We looked alot better for the last 20 minutes and restricted them to nothing much at all for the 2nd half
Anderson and Kanu haven't affected this game in a positive manner at all
Yeah they haven't contributed anything. Strange subs for this kind of game
Thought Anderson got in amongst them a bit during the little spell of pressure we had but Kanu struggled to impact. His big weakness at the moment is he doesn’t compete great against big physical centre backs and he was never going to get on top of these. We’d have been better off putting Aneke and Leaburn on and going full on route one.

I just don't think Kanu is ready to contribute at his level right now full stop. His main strength is running and that's just not enough.
Kanu and Anderson did more than the players they replaced in fairness. Birmingham just a very strong side at home. Would’ve been a point but for one lapse in concentration.
Don’t know how he left Campbell on thought he was poor today…would have brought Aneke on instead of Kanu…not for the first timr Kanu was slipping a lot needs right footwear

We move on. COYR
They had done their homework on us.
Onwards we go.
results elsewhere make the performance/loss a frustrating one
