Birmingham City Post Match Thoughts

[Brin]

I predicted a 2-0 win and a Barlaser penalty. Got scorers wrong and Dan the man fluffed his penalty. Going to have to change that 'straight down the middle' routine if he wants to continue taking them. Thought Dan's short game passing was off? but his long range passing simply superb! There's no wonder clubs are sniffing around looking to buy him.

I always back Woody to score every game. He didn't let me down yesterday with a 40/1 and a 33/1 bet. Very modest with a £1 bet on both so £73 to the good, cheers Captain Fantastic! Simply wish he was 10 years younger and had all the skill and knowledge he currently has and shows.

The game: Pre kick off I just felt really upbeat about playing Birmingham, don't know why just did. Some of our football at times was just simply great to watch. Already been mentioned with little or no hoofball, all on the deck which again is a vast marked improvement.

Been touched on already but have to say, great recruitment this time around. Yes I was one of the largest drum bangers about us not getting anyone in early enough but, glad to say it's turned out rather well.

Shame about the injuries and hope they are not as bad as first reported. Left back slot will be probably filled by Wes at Sunderland but I have to say that McCart looks extremely comfortable playing there. Is Warney brave enough to chance it playing him there?

Across the team we looked fit, energetic, worked as one and it was overall, a very entertaining game.

Onwards and more upwards?

NB. Brooke Norton-Cuffy what a player for an eight.een year old. Outstanding qualities and strong as an ox. Brilliant signing! Still charging down the wing on 90 minutes, another lad with a great engine.
