  1. James Chester. The club exploit the fact that players want to play and will do so even if it risks injury complications. Cortisone injections are absurdly common in football. Good job there's no proper drug testing.
  2. Remember when organ (sic) nyland was our keeper? What the hell was going on??? Its great to have an actual goalkeeper now.
  3. 4 losses in the last 5 games, wouldn't really want to make that 5 of the last 6.
  4. He's a striker not a midfielder. The only position he'll be playing is number 9 IMO.
  5. Another result that will provide plenty of excuses to keep the manager not good enough for Cardiff. Excellent. Hopefully a new 5 year deal for Pogba is next.
  6. Given how his career has turned out I don't think we missed much. This is excellent news and shows the long term vision for the club. With the impending implosion of small heath we seem to be positioning the club well to be "Birmingham's Club". With the large population base there's no reason why we couldn't have one of the best academy's in the country and a very large fanbase. Like him or not Purslow seems to be a great CEO and has the long term interests of the club in mind, not just short term Ridsdale mode.
  7. They look a mess tonight versus team red bull gives you energy.
  8. Is he one of the covid deaths? Forgot he existed...he should have gone in the summer rather than staying and trying to fight for his place. Cash is miles better than him and Elmo is okay as cover.
  9. He thinks he's Zidane on the ball. Less raking hollywood passes and more concentration please Tyrone.
  10. He won't be benched ever because there isn't anyone else to play instead of him. Even if Wesley comes back he's not better than Watkins. Players like Cash, Targett, Watkins, McGinn are going to have bad games but they will still be picked every week regardless as there is no alternative.
  11. 2-1 loss to the mighty Barnsley at home after being 1 up.
  12. He's nowhere near good enough, has the all the footballing ability of someone who should be playing for a mid-table turkish side like Kasımpaşa. A lot of people here like him because he's a trier (unlike El Ghazi) but putting the effort in is the least we should expect from all of our players.
  13. Players should never get to decide who takes a penalty IMO. The manager should know who is the best penalty taker on the pitch by seeing them take them in training and that player should take the pens. You should be scoring 90% of the penalties you get (or above). It feels like we have about a 60% strike rate down through the years.
  14. A decent performance but there are some points to note: 1. Watkins should not be our penalty taker, he had missed 3 of his last five and now it's 4 of his last 6 penalties. I am surprised Jack isn't taking them. 2. For all our nice passing we don't really create many chances. Basically it's pass the ball to Jack and let him do something special. 3. Trez is a diver plain and simple. It wasn't a penalty against Brighton and it wasn't one last night either. He offers nothing apart from effort and he missed yet another sitter last night. 4. One footed wingers like Traore bother me hugely. Mahrez and Bernardo Silva are also totally one footed so maybe Traore will work out but the jury is still out. He's still miles better than Trez though. 5. We concede too many sloppy goals and just too many goals in general. Feels like we will concede two in every game we play. 6. WDFAFC 7. City must be getting oil money ready to buy back Luiz, he would be perfect for them and a steal at £35m or whatever the agreed price is.
  15. Were you expecting anything else? It's another Mourinho team who defend as a unit and try to hit teams on the break.

    Running

    Anyone have a solution for Shin Splints? I am plagued by them and it really limits what I can do.
  17. I think the opposite to be honest.
  18. The bitter-est man in Football: 1st. Peter Shilton, 2nd place Eoin Hand.
  19. For anyone who hasn't seen the documentary about him, do yourself a favour and watch it. It's worth it for the first 3 minutes alone.
  20. He was just like conor hourihane, except worse.
  21. Trez - Grealish - Traoré seems obvious to me. Grealish is by far our best player and should be on the ball as often as possible.
  22. I was very surprised this didn't happen when Dean made the substitution in the first place. Seems obvious to me.
