    Did we miss a trick?

    Not a clement out or anything like that but talking to some blues fans did we miss a trick and beaten to Rowett last season?

    I know timing may have been wrong ...... Or not but he's done wonders at Birmingham with next to nothing. Had a half decent foundation but has pushed them On really well.

    I expect them not to go the distance but he's been pretty imoressive with little backing at both clubs.

    Possibly and should clement not make the cut I would be happy if I heard he was being touted as the replacement, not that it makes any difference but I believe he lives in Derby as well

    I can't see how he's improved Birmingham. Yes they playing better football, yes they are higher in the league, yes they are getting better results, but ratistically speaking they have not improved.

    Are you comparing like with like? Apples & pears? or Apples with Oranges and lemons say the bells of Paul Clement?

    If it's all gone tits up, and we need a low cost, long ball on a shoe string option – Gary will be the man.

    Shows how little you know then doesn't it. Birmingham don't play long ball. They ran at us and frightened the ********* out of us pushing us in the back foot!

    If you look at their results you'll see its teams that play the long ball game are the ones they have lost against. Florest and Rotherham!

    When you don't know about a subject it's usually best to say nothing as you don't want to make yourself look even more stupid than usual hey

    In a word, no.

    Too soon in his career given the step we were about to embark upon.

    You can't really say how good a manager is until he's really done something, Rowett, Nige, and Clement have done nothing really, but if I had to have one of the three trying to get us back to the Prem it would Clement, just for the fact of his CV!

    Actually, they average about 35% possession, play on the counter-attack and rely on percentage football. They won't make the top 6. Even Ipswich can pass the ball better.
