This Could Be Rotterdam Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Ref needs to start booking their players for persistent fouling. As soon as any dirty noses tomorrow say anything about their '' goal'' just point out it wasn't over and their keeper should've been sent off. Just hope we don't sit back now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaCas Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Thought the midfield worked really hard but we are not showing the difference in quality that we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 30, 2016 Moderator Share Posted October 30, 2016 We're a bit too direct I think at the moment. I think the back four have been pretty good so far. I think other than the booking Amavi has been pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Thank god for that, 1 up at half time. We haven't been great but we've held firm, some good bits of play and some good defending. Jedinak has stood firm and Amavi has made some good blocks/tackles. Shame for Adomah going off, I hope we come out all guns blazing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have more guys below the ball when they attack. It's looking pretty good to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Must admit I can see some actual evidence of training/being drilled. Which makes a change from the past few seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly in one moment what is wrong with him and why when he plays we are a poorer team. He literally could have released easily and simply us into an attacking position which who knows, may have led to a goal. Instead he turns (which may bring problems in itself) and plays it backwards which kills the attack and brings danger of either a miss kick, an unseen player pouncing on it or the player now nearer to our goal coming under pressure. Just one isolated example but multiply this 100 times a season. Does my nut in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I'm hoping the tactics in the first half were to sit back and not run ourselves ragged. Hopefully we can push on a bit more this half and open them up more. Yet again our midfield don't move for each other, this needs to be addressed. About as good a half as we could expect sitting back and playing these tactics though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 30, 2016 Moderator Share Posted October 30, 2016 Before Kuszak fouls Adomah, there's a push in the back on him by the defender - either of those could have been sent off for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astonaidan Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Just a random statement. All ye who dont know or are saying they dont know the Birmingham players, come on lads. Like say they are shit etc but there is plenty on known players on that team unless of course you only watched premier league football your whole life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 West woods miss I still don't understand how he manages to consistently have the same short every single bloody time. I think even I could have got that short closer to the goal and I haven't played football for ten years! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cons Westwood is dreadful. amavi has the positional sense of a packet of 20 Benson. mccormack isn't a right winger, should have brought on gabby. McCormack might not be a right winger, but at least he's a footballer. Gabby shouldn't make an appearance today unless we're 5 up and hes just been told to moon the natives for the last 10 minutes. Even then, he can do that from the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 30, 2016 We rode our luck with their chance off ghe line but for me Adomah was wiped out, someone should have been sent off for that and we get a free kick. . We got a fantastic goal and have mainly fended them off in a controlled manner. Just need to play football more when coming forwards and less blazing it forwards in hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just one example. 7 times out of 10 in that situation he passes that ball forward like he did when he put Kodjia/Gardner through a bit earlier than that.
