Shhhh

[blue lewj]

Take that. Needed the three points badly given what is to come in the next two.

[splott parker]

Bamba easily man of the match, only one who didn’t put a foot wrong

[Whisperer]

Well done city great comeback FairPlay

[Kind of Blue]

Just the result we needed and can’t fault the team for keeping at it but that was hard work (and a hard watch).

[fugsyphil]

Birmingham only conceded 5 in 9 aways before tonight. Yeah we aren't easy on the eye but we must do some things right

[Hilts]

Badly needed that comeback 3 points on the board and Glatzel can forget the penalty.

[Hilts]

Pack of the match for that pass.

[LeningradCowboy]

We've got away with one there. The left side of our defence was a ****ing disaster in the second half and Harris did nothing to change it.

[Monster munch]

Normal service has resumed. Happy days!

[The Bloop]

He only came on as it's the last home game before Christmas snd needed to hear us singing Last Christmas

[Trigger]

5 wins from 6. Blimey.

Excellent recovery tonight. At 2-1 down I was expecting it to get worse, then the penalty miss. The equaliser was one of our goals of the season. Despite the goals, it wasn't a game that made for great viewing and our performance was hit and miss, but 3 points is 3 points.

I have posted on here many, many times that in all my years of following City, I have never seen any City defender be culpable for as many goals conceded as Bennett.

He is easily the weakest link in the defence, and should be shipped out.

Give Cunningham a run of games.

Bennett has been consistently good for us over a number of years. Now go back into hiding until we lose, as you usually do.

Pipe down pencil neck.

Only caught the 2nd half. Enjoyed it. End to end. Great comeback from the lads.

Vaulks grew back into the game well whereas Ojo started to look really tired. The less said about Nelson and Bennett (definitely need a rest) the better.

Glatzel's penalty wasn't fantastic but would be good enough to score against any keeper not named Etheridge and he was unlucky not to have a second goal tonight too - I told you he had nice link up play with Harris! As for the cameos, think Whyte did well in first half but faded, Harris did a lot of intelligent running and showed good touches outside of the box but probably could have got a goal is he had shown a bit more anticipation.

How do you pick a team for Saturday though? Presumably much the same starting 11 but Ojo, Bennett, Nelson all looking like they need a rest so starts for Evans, Cunningham and Benkovic?

[dml1954]

Can't wait for Harris to tell us how gutted he was/is after the game.

Some of this is schoolboy stuff.

Stick that in your pipe. Wilson - a great goal and two assists but apparently he isn't very good and shouldn't be here. Now go and slope off and hide like you usually do, no doubt waiting for the next defeat, so you can have another go at the team/manager.

5 wins from 6. Blimey.

As much as some of the football has been grim, it is hard to argue against 15 points out a possible 18, bloody galling that the 3 points lost were in THAT game. Fans of the majority of clubs would be drooling over that return.
