I’d rather have that big lad from West Brom, would be as effective and probably a better footballer.

Stellar contribution to a thread mainly about other teams and the league as a whole. Leeds look fantastic, pure intensity, but can it last? Seen Rowett get pelters from Derb fans for negativity and dourness when we signed Palmer - can see what they mean now, mid table standard from Stoke.

He is also genuinely shit.

It is a great post that. Who’s his agent?

I take it you didn’t watch it tonight. Quest makes Channel 5 look amazing. Wrong aspect ratio, the works.

Haha your ears pricked up then didn’t they! Jesus Christ ?

That’s the crux of it for me really, streaming isn’t going anywhere and there’s always one to watch nowadays - even in League One. I’d happily pay a subscription to the club as I can’t make most games, but until then I’ll just be a crim.

Perhaps Swansea underestimated by a few (I know it’s only one game!) on this showing. Including me. Quick and skilful on the counter, tough to break down and McBurnie a top finisher.

It’s been happening all season. Honestly don’t remember too many in the last 12 months though?

Thought it was a laboured and dull game from both sides. Tough away point in the bag, could’ve/should’ve been more which is a bit gutting, but we will be getting more when the squad is complete. Happy days. Football’s back.

Apologies if there’s a topic already, thought I’d get the ball rolling. (What’s up with these tags btw?) Sunderland at the moment looking to be suffering from a similar shell shock that we were last season. If their crowd turns it could get funny. Long way to go yet though. Think Charlton are a decent side even with all of the back room troubles.

I think Lampard will be fine if given time. And when I say fine, I mean a perfectly serviceable manager at this level. Would still like to see him struggle a bit though, the rhetoric coming from Match of The Day types was that he was taking a step down and starting in a pub league!

I cannot believe this even has to be said!

Oh I’m all for getting an “ultras” or singing section. But it should be BBurn end to get songs started. Supporting the team, not just staring at away fans thinking they’re ten men and getting drowned out.

Nothing more tinpot than a small group of lads giving it large to away support.

Probably not mate, no.

@JAL Me. Why? What of it?

I didn’t see many Birmingham games last season tbh so you’d know better I suppose. He’s not top of my list, but I’d be willing to give him a chance to see what he could do for us now.

@JAL I can enjoy your posts a lot more now that I get it’s a wind up. You never answered Tom though... what changed from this to now? And who do you recommend we sign now?

Got away with murder. Good header by Lawrence to be fair.

Agree on the quality but I think the intensity of the game is much higher in this league. Just got to get up to the speed of it and then we’ll be cushty. Derby nowt to come on this showing.

Wendies aren’t signing anyone AT ALL due to financial constraints and I think him and Nuhiu are the last two they’d let go. Dont rate him too much either, and his attitude is completely at odds with what we’re doing here I think.

Yeah we should’ve played Mo Barrow more. Electric. Don’t think Tom Lawrence would get in our side anymore though.

I had a cup of tea from the Riverside concourse and it burnt my tongue. Club’s gone to shit.

See I read that as quite plainly a “don’t ask me about football I don’t know anything and if I did I’m not going to say anything”
