This is just totally wrong. Wintle ran the midfield from start to finish. Best player on pitch by a country mile again. How you can say that any of our team was ‘anonymous’ after that performance in 35 degree heat is beyond me.

I agree entirely with your comments. Wintle was everywhere and deserved to be MOM in my opinion. He certainly wasn’t anonymous second half, but Birmingham did put us under slightly more pressure and the midfield were not so dominant. However, he still got through a tremendous amount of work, and was always in the right place to snuff out any danger. It was a real Captain’s performance.

I thought some of the passing in the first quarter of the game was worse than conference level

We really came into the game later on I felt

???? Bonkers. 😂😂😂

Why is it totally wrong, because you have a different opinion to me? Wintle was anonymous second half, there, I’ve said it again. Birmingham switched from trying to go through the middle to playing out wide. He had a excellent game first half but hardly had a touch second half. O’Dowda, Collins & Rinamhota the pick of the bunch for me.

He displayed great composure, skill and awareness to get us out of a tight spot and start our attack that ended with the etete headed miss

Morison was a bit spikey in the post-match press conference.

I thought he was going to rip Glen Williams' head off at one point.

Possibly over defensive and over sensitive to a fairly routine question about missed chances - but it probably plays very well with the squad, and Max Watters in particular.

You would want to be in a trench with him.

I wish that people would lay off Watters. He did a lot of good things today and worked hard in searing heat. He is young and relatively inexperienced and just needs a goal. Their goalie made two good saves from him today, both were going in the net. It was an excellent TEAM performance and everyone contributed. Harris hasn't contributed goals either recently but he doesn't get the constant criticism that Watters does. Watters looked out on his feet at half time and I wouldn't be surprised if he was substituted due to heat exhaustion. Stick with him and I think he will come good.

I do feel for him as it's likely confidence but he had 2 or 3 chances which he should of buried and it would have made an easier game for us. If you want to be the main striker youve got to score those chances

Harris at least gets himself involved and i thought he was excellent today when he came on.

I just don't get why you would say he was anonymous in the second half. You obviously weren't watching him or are using that word deliberately just to incite a reaction on here. I am not the only person who thinks he wasn't - he was fully involved in the game from start to finish. I can think of at least three occasions second half when he was involved in interplay on the edge of their area and slid passes into the box for O’Dowda and others to run on to. As someone else said above, he was also involved in the move that set up Etete’s header at the far post. He also covered every blade of grass chasing and tackling and breaking up their play. Why would anyone say that any of our players were anonymous after the performance and win - everyone contributed for the full amount of time they were on the pitch. And thats my opinion.

I wouldn’t usually notice a name of a “journalist” but I read the play ratings for walesonline and it was something like a child would write so had to look who wrote it and it was that Williams. Don’t think it give him the time of day either.

it seems that people are not allowed to have a different opinion to you, what’s it like to be so self righteous? Please reread my original post it seems you like to cherry pick. seems Glen Williams also shares a different opinion to you as well.

Haven’t seen or heard it Jon, some highlights please

Very good performance overall, but the lack of quality from all our centre-forwards is painfully obvious.

Lack of goals yes, but I thought all three of them had their moments today.

I’ve just watched the interview and, as someone who has been critical of our manager’s dealings with the media in the past, I thought he was in the right this time. Glen Williams started his question by saying that he was going to be a typical negative journalist and then a few seconds later he was protesting that he wasn’t being negative.

Of course, it’s frustrating that we didn’t win by as many as we deserved to, but that was an enjoyable watch today where the positives far outweighed the negatives.

Birmingham were awful defensively. I doubt that our strikers will have many easier games this season.

So, you’re writing Etete off on the basis of one bad miss?
