Eckert hasn't got any bottle. He's scared to death of conceding again - rather than trying to get us level again. |

Birmingham have only lost once at home all season. On this showing, that stat won't change - not on this showing.
Looking at the bench, can't see anyone who can really change our fortunes other than Leo of course. Hopefully he gets the nod and comes on at the break and NOT after/if we go behind. |

Coventry will win the league no question. Ipswich will go up automatically with them. Boro will lose out. |

Welcome to my world and my post earlier today on the Brum preview post!
Hope I'm proved wrong too - but when something is broken (and it is), why wouldn't you fix it by changing things instead of the same old, same old - and just hoping that it goes well - which is what Eckert s doing? |

Ipswich just taken the lead at Coventry. I reckon those two will finish in the automatic places. |

Another defeat looms this evening - due to a mix of the wrong players, the wrong substitutes and probably another half-arsed, can't be bothered team effort.
So a defeat tonight, followed by a draw at home to Millwall and yet another defeat away at Boro.
We really honestly aren't all that good... and we've been found out.
Listen ; I would love to be more positive & upbeat, I really would. I'd love to be proved wrong. But looking at the 2nd half against WBA, the defeat at Norwich, the draw with Coventry & then that really poor showing at Oxford the other day... says to me we've lost the momentum we had when Eckert was first given the job & that the players are in 'comfort' mode now and that new manager spark has been well & truly extinguished - and I'm not sure Eckert knows how to get it back or get the team firing again.
I guess we'll find out tonight at Birmingham whether I'm right or full of sh1t, eh. |

I fancy going to the O2 next June to see the Rezillos and the B52's at the same gig (along with Devo and Lena Lovich).
Saw Lena Lovich at The Hot Club on 22nd & Lombard Street, Philadelphia waaaay back in 1980 when my ship was alongside there. Very happy memories... so many years ago now.
Being old sucks. |

Naivety I'm afraid from a young, naïve manager.
Hopefully he'll learn to stop wrapping the likes of Leo & Fellows in cotton wool. |

We love to lose to the bottom placed clubs - Norwich recently, now Oxford.
That's because we have a sh1t mindset - a "We don't need to try too hard" attitude. The fact is clubs see us as a big scalp, one that's just come down from the Premier League & they put a real shift in against us. That's why managers always go on about "a winning mentality".
We don't have that. We seem to approach games half-arsed a lot of the time & you can see in some players that they aren't up for the fight some weeks. That just makes the team inconsistent and that's exactly what we are ; inconsistent. Just look at last few games for proof of that.
Someone somewhere over at Staplewood needs to give the players a kick up the arse and impress on Eckert the need to approach each game 100% committed or fu(k off. |

Tippy-tappy, tippy-tappy, tippy fu(king tappy football again today.
Oxford had 29.3% of the ball today - and yet won the game.
Where was our get forward at pace & overwhelm them game we saw just a few short weeks ago? Until we address this tippy-tappy across the back & walking pace bollocks, we aren't going anywhere. |

Why drop Joshua Quarshie today for slack Jack? Joshua Quarshie is a better player despite being a lot less experienced!
Eckert thought we'd win today without having to get into top gear, that's why. He saw a struggling Oxford in the drop zone & thought today would be a good day to bring slack Jack back into the team.
The outcome, sadly, was all on Tonda today. Time for him to reassess, change things a little, tinker here & there and learn quickly. |

Eckert insists on playing three centre backs for reasons only he knows. I can't fathom for the life of me why we don't turn up at these grounds and let the opposition worry about us for a change - instead of Eckert worried about them scoring.
Everyone, Eckert included, knows we have a pretty poor keeper and defence who are struggling to compete even at this level. Stop the three CB's bollix and outscore the opposition. We're never keeping a clean sheet with this set-up at the back. The old adage of attack is the best form of defence applies here. I couldn't give a rats' arse if we win games 5-4 or 4-3 - as long as we win.
And FFS stop with the needless substitutions. Every team in this league is playing a lot of games in a short period - but I bet most of them didn't sub their best players today (after a weeks' rest anyway) and concentrated on winning today, here & now. Hands up who knew we weren't going to win today once Scienza was withdrawn?... |

The 2nd half against WBA
Then the dismal defeat at Norwich.
A draw at home to Coventry.
A pathetic effort and loss away at Oxford.
This team is going nowhere. The players have reverted to comfortable mode once Tonda was given the job full time & the boss himself keeps making the wrong team selection followed by the wrong substitutions.
Merry Christmas my fu(king arse. |
