Birmingham City Post Match Thoughts

[philthefluter]

Lessons that Evans needs to learn after this abject display.
1 Drop the goalkeeper. He does not command the six yard box never mind the penalty area.
2 At home do not set up to draw because you think the opposition are good. Set up to win and at least you might get a draw.
3 Stop bigging up the opposition before the game. What does this achieve Evans? I will tell you. It boosts them. So stop.
4 The midfield is the battlefield where wars are won. This has to be the priority as it was a large empty space for them to run into.
Their goals were (borderline) offside but we were always on a hiding to nothing with your useless tactics.
I wonder if TS agrees with the above?

Phillips is a liability, everyone but our dynamic duo can see that.I have asked several Owls fans about Dawson, and they all said he is a good keeper.Persevering with Phillips will do nothing to rebuild confidence in the defence.His judgement is shocking, he often comes out when he shouldn`t and he flaps at the ball when a cross comes in.Hard to imagine Dawson being worse than he is.

ps Evans. Get off your backside and stop leaving your lapdog to motivate the players from the touchline

Paul Warne is 10 times the manager SE is.

Evans cost us two points against Burton with his appalling substitutions and tactics. Today he humiliated us with his tactics which presented an open door to an extremely talented outfit to stroll through.

Dawson has to play in goal. As someone in the pub said before the game 'Phillips goes down like a roll of lino'. Victor would have saved their first goal.

SE's set up from the off announced 'hoof ball' for all to see. Brum gave us no quarter and waltzed comfortably through our non-existent midfield.

JCH is a 60 minute max player. You cannot play Hugill and JCH together - one or the other.

At half time, we should have gone 4-4-2, with Powell and Hungbo coming on to give us more width and hopefully an added threat.

We were as bad as Brum were good and SE did nothing to give us any chance of threatening their goal. He appears to be tactically clueless.

To top it all, Sam Nombe was sent out to front the press (not sure if Evans or Raynor spoke later). As opposed to Evans' fist pumping in front of the North Stand when we beat Huddersfield, he chose to hide away and give the responsibility to Sam (who spoke very well).

Overall, disenchanted and worried that we're in for another struggle this season.

Yes. How come Sam Nombe did the press after the game. No Steve Evans or Paul Raynor. What’s going on!

2pm was the first disappointment...
Team said 3cb with 2 wingbacks who are very good league 1 full backs.
Wtf???? Has Evans lost the plot.
He was desperate to get raggett in the team but couldn't choose between Humphrey or mcCart to bench. So he tries to fit them all in.

Next he constantly tries to play tithe and oddofin as the 2 CM.... Now I know he's lost the plot.

Then he has our only 2 wide players sat on the bench AGAIN..

Managers should be made to post the team sheet Friday night then fans can see when it will be a waste of time going to support the team...

Don't forget he started the season with Humphreys, Raggett and McCart plus two wingbacks. If Raggett hadn't got injured I think we'd have seen a lot more of that formation.

Shout, shout get evans out
hes a bad guy we can do without
come on i’m talking to you come on

[Lolmorgan]

A goalkeeper that can’t keep goal,a defence that can’t defend,a midfield that can’t run a game, a forward line that can’t score & a manager that can’t manage. Too many can’ts.
