FT: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 1 BIRMINGHAM CITY. Match thread

[Tuerto]

That was ****ing appalling defending on every level.

[2b2bdoo]

**** off Runnarsson. Absolutely bottled it again.

Haven’t seen a replay but didn’t look like it was his fault at all?

[MacAdder]

Foul on the edge of their box all day long.

Feck sake referee!

[Wash DC Blue]

What a farce of a goal

[Maurice Swan]

.....how was that not a foul on Etete....and over 2 mins. Even so a shambles and not a very good efort first half.
My foreboding is being realised....

[Former Labour leader]

Definite foul on Etete but awaful drfendng by Romeo.
WTF

[Der Kaiser]

Not sure why the commentators for City TV are going out of their way to keep saying we are the better team... are we? They've got up the pitch just as much as we have.

We look very average in the final 3rd, can't see us getting a win now so a draw will do from this position - granted that's a poor result.

He made way too much of it, deserved it to not be given.

Any keeper with any bottle would have got that. Decides to jump out of the way instead. Rubbish.

I don't know either, although Mcguiness was kippered and Goutas played them on side.

Personally I’d take off Colwill and Etete and bring ok Bowler and Robinson

I'm not sure anyone could accurately describe what he's trying to do

Birmingham have lost six of the nine games that manager Wayne Rooney has taken charge of winning just one.

Rooney should have been sent off back in the Premier League when he took a kick at Jordan Mutch, so hopefully time he does get sent packing.

Our midfielders aren’t creating anything

[2b2bdoo]

Will have to see it again, looked like the Brum guy was clean through and he was just making himself big as any keeper would. Will have to see it again.

At one point they said "a well drilled solid back 5" ffs guys.

The only decent play has come through Colwill, it would be nice if the midfield gave it to him a little more

[Der Kaiser]

Personally I'd take off a defender and Meite, this lot are shit and should be treated as such.

Go for the win

[Tuerto]

I'm not sure anyone could accurately describe what he's trying to do

This. He didn't even make himself big, allowed the Brum player to make the first move, all of this 5 yards from goal. **** knows what that was.

[2b2bdoo]

He needs to assert himself way more, the odd nice pass isn’t enough.

Go for the win

I love that.....

[LA Bluebird]

Bacuna's first touch wasn't even that great, if he comes and claims the ball he's got it easily but he bottles out of it. Shocking keeping, he's crap. Alnwick snuffs that out every single time.

Colwill is not the issue. Our midfield of wintle and siopis is just too static. Both want to play the same role.

I think Bacuna's first touch is what surprised him. Runarsson was expecting something else rather than a mis-control.

Totally agree, but without Ralls I’m not sure the other options are any better.
