Birmingham City Post Match Thoughts

[Derbymiller]

Regarding the game, we lost that in the 1st half and down to terrible team selection leaving us only two in midfield, it improved in the second half because we added a body into midfield. However if they had needed a goal you always felt they could get one. As I said last week we are not a good side and certainly not a team. Too many players playing for themselves or just not interested. Evans talks about the Rotherham way, well we are not seeing that.

Hugill is awful, he shouldn't be anywhere near the first team, we need him out to free up his very large wage to strengthen in January, make it clear to him that he won't play again and to find another club.I know that sounds strong but we need the money, TS has made it clear that we are sticking to the financial plan and the money from transfers are for balancing the books, not to be spent on players.

I think the next 3 games are very critical playing teams at the bottom and then Reading. That takes us to the 10 games and if we are still at 1 point a game then we are in real problems with 20% of the season gone. We keep getting the comments we will get better, well we can't get much worse. That is all speculation about future performances the facts are:- less than a point a game, in 21st place, we are currently in a relegation battle. We were easily knocked out of the cup by a L2 team and have only kept one clean sheet. We are not in a good place and I suspect TS is starting to sweat a little.
