Birmingham v Charlton | Post-match thread | 15/07/2020

It's better to be lucky than good. Unfortunately, we're neither.

Another sad state of affairs that'll leave the Valley faithful in their constant state of unease.

I thought we'd done enough to take the three points, but alas it was not to be. We had our opportunities, but couldn't keep the lead. The home side's equaliser came in the third minute of extra time.

If not for Phillips, we'd have come away with nothing. Three impressive saves, including the penalty save. 

Pleased for Bonne. We'll have to get our remaining points in the next few.

Again, a gut-punch finish to a decent performance. 

Over. To. You.

    Sometimes I really hate supporting this football club.

    Two chances, including one tap in, to go 0-2 up. We draw 1-1.

    Bonne's two goals both canceled out. His two misses from inside the six yard box might be what relegates us in the end.

    Philips may have some good saves but cost us the goal by not holding the first shot...no need to push it away there

    How many times are we gonna concede in injury time. We’re going down sadly.

    Absolutely gutted. 
  • Great defensive subs! Let's defend the lead that always works! Muppets

    Bowyer cost us when he took of Alfie only pace on the pitch.

    Fucking madness.

    Changing things for changing things sake is fucking killing us at the moment...well has been for weeks and still Bowyer cannot see it!

    Said this on the post match thread last week and it’s happened again. It’s cost us the 3 points once more.

    I love Bonne for his effort but how many times have we found ourself saying ‘he should have scored’ after a game? Too many for a professional striker in the Championship

    Subs cost us again, we've got to be brave and keep attacking. Just like Brentford you can't sit back with 15 still to play.

    Gut wrenching.

    Thought we'd done enough.

    If you can only score one goal a game tops it does put a lot of pressure on the defence to hold out. Managed it against Hull and QPR but not tonight. Got to somehow get that second to close the game out...

    Luton will beat Hull and we will go third from bottom and stay there.

    Gutted but I believe if we beat Wigan we'll stay up. Hull Luton playing each other and we'll be 7 points behind Wigan

    Bow is the worse subber I have ever seen, field, Williams, doherty off (our only pace)

    Would any other manager in lead football take off their best players in midfield when only leading 1-0?

    Actually can't get my head around it. 
  • We won't get anything against eight-nil Wigan nor champions Leeds. Luton will save themselves by beating Hull.

    Thank you and goodnight.

    Looks to me we're down it sickens me to say. Phillips superb.

    I am absolutely crushed after that. 93rd minute equaliser that could have seen us potentially safe exchanged for a point that will probably see us down. I've got nothing else to say, I'm out
  • We are just not good enough to defend, defend, defend. When we will learn? Unfortunately, not soon enough.

    ive genuinely lost count of how many games he has put defensive subs on and its cost us. I love bowyer but his subs for game management leaves us with alot to be desired. How many points we have lost in the last 10+ added time is a joke.

    In big big trouble. 49 to keep us up I reckon, would have been there with a win. Don’t see anything other than two losses to end the season.

    The HT comments were all about taking Williams off... Doughty had received a knock just moments before being subbed

     Sorry. Taylor's a twat. But you need more than one sodding forward to survive in this league. The rest are shockingly short

    Bowyer just doesn’t have a clue how to close out a match. Absolute shambles.
