Initial thoughts.

Little effort from the players - Birmingham wanted that so much more than us. Warnock cannot use the tiredness excuse, most of the players have had time off. We looked lethargic from the first minute.

The game was going very badly, yet we took so long to make changes.

Mendez-Laing and Zohore look as if they believe the hype surrounding them. No effort from either.

Bamba was totally out of position protecting the back 4. Birmingham liked to play with width and often their wide players were 1 vs 1 against our full backs, so Bamba didn't know what to do. I'd have got rid of Manga, put Bamba up against their lump of a striker and gone with Tomlin in a more attacking role.

No saves from the Birmingham goalkeeper. I can't recall Derby's keeper doing much last time out, either.

For the first time Warnock really needs to freshen things up a little, both in terms of personnel and tactics. We've got options. Lately we've become predictable and easy to defend against.
