   I think it 4 maybe 5 managers now that have persisted in our usual centre half pairing of dean n tardo
   They maybe good players in there own way but together they are a liability,no pace and lack of concentration, sometimes we need to actually be happy with a point and move on its a long season and they all add up at the end

   I don’t know what Blues fans you speak to but I don’t know a single one that thinks we are the best team in the championship. We know we are a mid-table team (at best) punching above our weight due to a good manager.

   Talking of managers, I find it amazing when managers such as yours think we back off and play deep in “respect” of the opposition. That is how we play, against everyone, that includes the likes of Bolton or Bristol City at home. We play to about 40% possession and try and break. That’s why we have struggled against teams that don’t keep posession. To me that shows your manager hasn’t done any homework on the way we play, and he’s not been the only one.

   Yes it’s not always great to watch, but our team has cost pretty much £0. £180k is I think the only fee we have paid for the starting 11 players. The rest were free transfers, free agents, loans and one youth team player.

   Also, if you want to talk sloppy goals to give away, look no further than the one we gifted you guys. I don’t think either of our goals were that “sloppy” on your part.

   Anyway good luck for the rest of the season. We don’t expect to be up at the top, but if we are, it is our manager using the best of what we have. Don’t criticise us or our football (which is not as bad as you suggest) for that.

   It’s an old adage but a true one – don’t get too carried away when we win with ease or too down in the dumps when we underperform. Yeah we weren’t great yesterday but I came away from St. Andrews knowing that the way we try and play football is a million times better than the way Birmingham do. I’m only sorry you have to live up there!
