A familiar refrain. This time from Birmingham fans. “Conceding too many goals..can’t play out from the back..98% of goals conceded under Rooney tenure have come from blue’s trying to play out from the back..,can’t play that way..we are incompetent and cannot adhere to the you score 3 we’ll score 4 mentality..if that’s how blues owners want us to be then fgs get rid of WR and get keegan in”

🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌. I read the report. They will be all confident now. Barry Bannon is a handful.

They drew with Leicester tonight. Hope they haven’t found their sea legs just yet.

You are talking about his brand not his product 😂

Sammie signed a new contract. Cheeky, committed, hard working, no fancy bolloxs just gets stuck in. And dedicated to the club. Love the guy.

Wonderful result. Congrats to the team, the manager, and our support. Whatever the merits of loans, the model of mixing our brightest with some wonderful young talent from the premier league is pretty smart. Hill and Moran are growing every day in stature and value to us, and their clubs. No wonder Premier League teams are happy to loan us their most promising. .

Funny to see Mowbray justifying Dack signing at length. We dodged a bullet there, and he is more expensive. https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/23945814.sunderland-tony-mowbrays-promising-bradley-dack-update/

I think another dig at our crack recruitment team.

My Plymouth mate warned me he was in the treatment room more than on the pitch. Surely to God we checked this stuff out. Not very well methinks.

Passing out of the back quicker. Meds to read the game as he catches the ball

Should be alright now

Boot it up to Siggy

Adam is a beautiful passer of the ball but ne is not the complete player. He lollops around and is not defence minded

Red card. About to say I am still skittish.

Woooooooo. Class passing.

Tronstad and Moran quiet. It is still a lottery at 2-0

We will get screwed passing out from the back.

Oh I say.

Panic over. Different panic. Nobody to pass to upfront

Surely to God ESPN plus knows the clocks went back over here. Push your Betamax button buddies.

I was really hoping that Markanday would kick on after his injury but he looked lost. Nothing worked for him and what good positions he did get into the end result was poor.

2 one on one opportunities taken and a penalty given and it is a different game. Good to play against top class competition to see who rises to the top and who doesn’t. Hill is class, Wharton had some nice touches but we simply can’t play the ball out from the back against premier league sides. Ironically Chelsea had the same problems. They should watch Arsenal in their training sessions. Truth is our squad has no depth and I am not sure that will improve in January. JDT will be off at the end of the season having completed two solid seasons building a young side to play attractive football.

Passing out will have me passing out. We are not Arsenal.

That has been our problem in a nutshell. 1 on 1 needs burying Leonard. The problem with having potential is we don’t have time to wait.
