Birmingham City v SAINTS Match Thread

That is a great result. Anything could have happened, and a point means we're 2 points clear of Cardiff. Other positives: Puncheon was immense I thought, not sure why he went off as every time he ran at them up the middle he created panic.

 

A game it was important not to lose with Birmingham so close behind us. We've got draws against 2 contenders Cardiff and Birmingham and we tried to win it in difficult conditions. And I stayed watching until 60 min which is far me than I usually manage.

 

anyone watching City v Fulham. It's ****ing freezing we want to go home.

 

He looked pretty tired toward the end...still looks to need to gain a little match fitness, though running around like a maniac (to good effect) as he has been doing would tire anyone.

 

You can't appeal a red card for two bookings. Only straight reds.

 

Yep...another game out of the way...I think as conditions improve and with the strengthened squad we'll have a strong run in

 

Just said the most unlucky red ever and i fully agree

 

Every time i see that first tackle it gets better.

 

Not bothered about Fox.

Wasn't a red.

But Harding was always going to play against Millwall on Tuesday

Tbh I prefer Harding anyway, I find Fox to casual.

 

Bit harsh on a Fox red card, and a boring game overall but was hampered big time by the conditions obviously

Fox's long balls aren't working lately either, and Connolly just isn't getting involved

 

We will miss Fox's deliveries though.

 

It's only for the cup match, though; as mentioned above, Harding almost certainly would have started. Now we just get to see Shaw on the bench, in all likelihood.

 

Birmingham's home form is immense and with the run they were on the point looks even better: W9 D4 L0 F22 A6.

 

We won't miss Fox's deliveries because our next game is in the cup and Harding would have started it anyway. Good game to get sent off in at least!

Edit: Oh I see everyone else has already made this point

 

They havent been all that great recently imo

Shaw won't be involved - hamstring injury

 

Puncheon looked really good again. A key player at the moment.

 

Hampered by conditions, but I felt we were the better side and dominated the game. Neither of the yellows were justifiable, especially the first. Disappointed not to win but a clean sheet and point is fair enough away to Birmingham.

If it wasn't snowing we would have won IMO.

 

It reminds me of when we nicked a point at Burnley and loads of fans were moaning on here saying it wasn't good enough. Next game they win 5-1 and all is rosy.

 

Forgot about that. Oh well, guess it's 90 minutes of Harding!

 

Totally agree there is plenty of plus points today, you cannot really judge our performance today. Win our two next home games and avoid a loss against West Ham and we are in a good position.
