Is anyone else like me and baffled by our playing demise, we seem to have become toothless besides having a plethora of good players.
It makes Brian Clough's famous quote "We have a great team on paper, unfortunately the game is played on grass" quite true.
Maybe it is the players taking time to "Gel" or for them to get used to methods and formations. I'm sure it will come right but have no idea when!
I'm totally baffled by it all
We shall "Keep Right On" though, and journey to the end of the road.
My support for the team is not wavering, but I don't like sugar coating issues. The sooner it is sorted the better.

Bang on Pete and thumbs up to all that(y)

Expectation is at fault, quite rightly we all expect us to be doing better based on what happened last season, but of course this is now a whole different ball game.

We huffed and puffed at Stoke with little threat up front and some poor defending early on, and not much cohesion in midfield, but apart from that we were OK.

It all needs time and application , combined with honest assessment of the weaknesses, which I am sure will be addressed by our management team and players.....this is no longer the Birmingham City of old, the ownership will not tolerate failure for very long I'm sure of that.

Like you I shall KRO......believing
 
There is nothing wrong with criticism when warranted, as long as it is constructive.
Some people say, "Never look back". I don't subscribe to that because if you don't, how do you gauge how far you have come.
On Saturday there were players that were not tuned in, possibly because of tiredness or Jetlag, A couple of our players had long flights to recover from after the international involvements.
We have a full week now for CD and his team to prepare the lads for a fresh start A tasty bit of swan would make a nice entree

I feel exactly the same mate. We definitely have the players at the club to be doing better with creating chances and therefore goals. I'm just very concerned that CD is too stubborn to alter how we play at times
