Birmingham - Nottingham Forest

[Strawberry Avenger]

Looks like two teams that have played a lot of matches without much rest. Not surprising that everyone is tired this season has been pretty brutal really.

Fair point there, Wassy.

Orrible game of football

[Strawberry Avenger]

If Yates had converted all the free headers he has had this season he would be top scorer by a mile. What do we think, 15? 20?

This is a truly terrible football match by the way from both sides.

I guess that's the next stage of his development.  Convert a few more of them.

We could do with an actual Forest player who can score headers.

Who was the last one?  Chambers?

SA.

We could do with a forest player who could score... I don't care which part of the body they use

We could do with more goals from all areas of the pitch.

Stoke 2-3 Coventry.

Fair play to Cov'. They aint going down without a fight. They CAN score goals...

That’s the same for every team in the country. 

The manager could’ve made more changes, but ones he did bring in like Freeman and Taylor have done absolutely nothing, they can’t be tired. 

This is poor make no doubts about it, none of our players giving it there all to keep in the managers thoughts for next season. 

This is just the kind of football chris Hughton is renowned for, keep it tight and hope to get the goal. 

Big summer ahead and in one way happy Hughton knows what he needs and build his own squad, but another part of me still thinks his football is terrible to watch and he hasn’t done much with the current squad and just kept us at arms length from relegation, and I say just. We still have no style of play, players look lacklustre, and not the fittest and he hasn’t done anything to improve the goals for. He has a lot to do this summer

I think the pitch is playing a major part. We can't knock it around whereas they can still lump it.

Hadnt realise how direct they now are. Very agricultural.

It is the same for every team in the country.  I think it was noted that muscle injuries are increased.  No surprise.  Lucky that Forest have more bodies despite the 'quality' of some of them.

What changes?  He removed Knocker who acted like a d*ckhead last match.  He dropped the jaded?  Want away?  Out of form?  Disinterested Grabban to the bench which some wanted?  Who else can he bring in from Sabri's Squad?

It is 'poor' but so is most of the Championship.  It's about the point.  It's about attrition.  Get the result.  Any result.  Get safe.  Most of the Championship is muck and nettles.  I haven't seen much decent football on Quest EFL all season.  Norwich perhaps.  Bournemouth have played some decent stuff.  Both down from the Premiership with all that implies.

Some of our players look like they didn't want to come here in the 1st place to a manager (in Sabri) who had his head turned far easier than the recruitment he undertook.

To get out the Championship you do need to keep it tight and 'get the goal.'  I think that's a fair template.  We've seen vs QPR that Forest have shown what we might have in store for next season if we have an actual pre-season and allow Hughton his own squad of players.

As per your last paragraph.  But we do have a style of play.  Keep it tight.  Nick a goal.  It's in the context of the position we're in.  The result vs QPR shows that given time, we'll do more than just that.

Saying that. Birmingham get a 'comfortable' header.

Bladdy hell.

Taylor out muscled.

[Madforit]

Totally shocking, we really are poor

[TheGreenMan]

No team is ever going to push for promotion with the likes of Yates, Taylor & Blackett on the pitch.....Will Hughton ever realise this?? Otherwise we’re going to be in for another tough season...

[Widdow]

It’s typical stuff. And now have to see if we can score two.

And if this his style of play with no plan b if we go behind then doesn’t give much hope for future. Can only see the impact bowyer has had on birmingham.

[ThePromisedLand]

How many more times will Blackett concede possession?

Throw ins.
General play.

He’s been guilty so many times tonight.
