Birmingham City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Chris Smith]

Did not lose the Small Heath World Cup final, but Bruce has got to have a mind change, about how he approaches away games, when we did go for them 3 chances came in quick succession, imagine if we had gone at them from the start.
We must not lose Bruce attitude in ways was ok yesterday, as I can imagine the shit he would have got if he had gone for it and we had lost, but away from home from here till May let the guys loose Bruce FFS.

We did go for them from the start, we were on top for the first 20 minutes or so, they upped it for a while and got on top for the middle part of the game but we finished the stronger. We all seem to ignore the fact that there are two teams involved in a game and unless they are complete no hopers there will be times when we have to defend.

Looking at their results they had won their last 2 at home, Wednesday and Cardiff, so would have gone into it with a degree of confidence. While there is always room for improvement I think we deserve credit for handling the occasion and the attempts at intimidation.

For a change I thought Bruce got the subs right . Jedi nulled them and then Davis nearly scored the winner was very unlucky.
I would have left Hourinane on maybe instead of onomah , could have done with him on the FK last kick.
I did not like the hoofball we played a lot but I am mildy happy with 0 0 .
Beat Preston and its a good point.

Have to agree with the previous couple of posts. I thought we were decent all round without being outstanding. Bruce made good choices for a change and was trying to win it. This was a much improved Blose side and was what 'Arry was saying, they have made some good signings and will not be relegation fodder.
I have not been a great fan of spanner-chops, but I am seeing improvement and more commitment, which is the most I ask these days.
I voted give him till October, now I extend that to give him till Christmas unless a horror-show manifests.

Must add I was delighted to see both Hutton and Whelan have very good games. Not sure Whelan was MOM but he out played Onomatopoeia.

Captain Mainwaring might have thought he was a stupid boy but he wasn't stupid enough to support them. He was a Villa Fan.

With a bit more luck we could've been sitting here with three points if those efforts had gone in instead of hitting the crossbar we need three points against Preston and why oh why did they give them clappers in a derby game baffling.

Is this a fill in the missing word competition?

I'm sure he knows what he means but it's a mystery to the rest of us. My Border Collie is a more effective communicator!

Never mind one missing word, there's eighteen still there that I could do without.
