Match thread - Birmingham City 15:00 West Bromwich Albion

I paid £10 to watch the game. Big Mistake!! At least now, after a game, I am shutting off and not spending the week being miserable.

Me too. I feel like I should be refunded.

I said it at the start of the season and I'll say it again; this squad should have been pushing for promotion. The bookies don't normally get it wrong and they made us one of the favourites to go up. Something has gone drastically wrong. I think that the club is in a mess from top to bottom and drastic action is required. With the greatest respect, this side should never be beaten by sides like Birmingham, but we consistently are. Ismael was the wrong appointment but there has to be other reasons for such appalling performances. I'm fed up to the 'back teeth' and can't wait for the season to end.

Names on a piece of paper mean absolutely nothing.

At your age you should know this.

We are where we are Leicester because there’s no quality! Where is the creativity in midfield - Livermore is shocking and Mowatt clearly does not want to be here! Robinson and Grant have a phobia of getting their shorts dirty!! No one to score but there wouldn’t be the service anyway!

Townsend and Furlong are average at best championship players!

Poor managers compared to say the inspiration at Luton and Forest!

Reach - Diangana are powder puff and Carroll a one trick pony!

Needs a complete demolition job but everyone will be there next year including Bruce!

I share your concerns Leics buddy. My view is that the fundamental attitude has not been evident beyond the first few energetic games. As a result the players’ dissatisfaction with Val’s disciplinary traits (and maybe his playing style) was reflected in their performance on the pitch. Clearly the senior players got their way and now, a lack of spirit and commitment has become standard. Sadly this seems to run throughout the Club and maybe contributing to the departure of a number of academy lads.

A major ‘back to basics’ policy change is needed. Too many unacceptable performances with a degree of complacency. Bruce may indeed be the man to drive it, but it will be costly to move out the poorest given some of their contracts and the likely ‘non interest’ of other Championship sides to take them off our hands.

It is going to be a difficult rebuild.

We will be in the wilderness for years unless someone somewhere spends big money , & it ain't going to happen, not got one good player in the club worth anything , it's such a shame a famous old club with a great history like ours can end up like this ,
