Is TGH going back to Brum in January ?

No he's on loan for the season, can't imagine they would want to recall him.

He also has one of those phantom buy clauses in the loan deal.

It would be a hell of a throw from the subs bench

It would still be straight to the opposition.

Never have i seen a so called offensive weapon be used so pointlessly.

got bullied Saturday didn't we. Men v boys. Experience v inexperience. 
We struggle against direct physical teams. We struggle in both boxes for set pieces to when a teams got a couple powerful players. It was pretty obvious i felt how it was going to pan out. I see elliot jackson saying he felt we played the same formation with hedges as a left sided cb, i disagree, it didn't really look like that to me. To me it looked like a disjoineted 4 at the back to start with. Alebiousu galloping from right back all the way up to the opposite full back to close the ball down was never going to work. Gudjohnsen looked like he played as a floating winger\striker. Was neither in any of those positions was practically anonymous all game. Didnt look like our normal formation that had won 3 games ina row until the 2nd half, first half looked to me as a 4 at the back.

Yuki really needs top work on his touch and hold up play, practically gave the ball away at every chance he got. The team all seemed rather unbalanced. Not one player on our pitch competed with anything in the air at both ends. I think it took till around 70th minute for us to win a header of any note. I for the life of me will never understand our consistent use of long throws in every game when we haven't a player capable of winning a header. Then we bring gueye on and he doesnt even stand in a position to try and win the first phase of the long throw, Morris just kept heading it all away. Just seemed like a team not having to do too much to get the job done and knew what was needed to win against a side lacking with any know how. 

Really need an ugly cb and Striker dont we to just help us in these types of games. Cant see us beating preston or wrexham in our next batch, we get bullied in both of those imo. Cant see more than 4 points from next 4 games, and id say that puts us right back in the relegation picture. 

Monday rant done.

Agree with Yukis touch but can't help but think there were alot of balls cannoned at the mid riffs not easy to control under pressure so as well as touch control somebetter passing to feet. Why they kept attempting an ariel assault is beyond me it was clear after 30 mins it wasn't working but when we played to feet we had more a tempo and chance. (Slim as they were)
