Excellent team selection again. Feeling confident.

It’s a funny old game. TM has a habit of pulling out a succession of victories just when he needs them. Three wins out of four now and three straight victories at home. Didn't see the game, unfortunately, but sounds like our best performance of the season so far. Our starting line up before the match looked well balanced, with players in their correct positions (aside from Downing, but I’d take him there over Bell) and that turned out to be the case on the pitch. Breathing space from the bottom 3 and small hopes of a top 6 push reignited. Personally think we’ll finish in a similar position to last season, not a lot has changed.

Delighted with the win obviously but doesn’t change the fact that we are a shambles at the moment. TM has shown a complete inability to set up a team defensively for too long now, sadly. Things have to change.

I have a bad feeling about this game. We have the feel of a club who’s manager has run out of ideas and can’t find the right formula to get consistent results and performances. Throw into the mix the new manager bounce that Barnsley will have and the struggles that we tend to have against these types of opponents at home. We desperately need Lenihan to be playing today as our record with him in the side is so much stronger than without him. Such a key player.

16 games in is a good time to evaluate and reflect - not good enough and time for a change in manager imo.

Last week papered over the cracks. We aren’t good enough at the moment.

An incredible win to say the least. A much needed win too with a tough away game next and us getting too close to the bottom three for my liking. We’re now back in mid table territory. In terms of individual performances, Gallagher is looking much better than he did a couple of games ago; he actually looked a threat when the ball went into the box and he linked play much better than he has done. Tosin was outstanding and deservedly man of the match. Travis and Nyambe also very good. I’m so pleased we only have Walton on loan, he’s horrendous. Not the answer at all. Holtby and Dack had quiet games but showed glimpses of their quality. We desperately need Lenihan back, he’s such an important player for us.

Unbelievable! Miracles do happen!! Big game in our season and it’s saved Tony’s skin. Can we kick on from here? Need Lenihan back without a doubt.

Never doubt Tony ??

WTF

Time for Tony to go.

2-0 up and we lose 3-2. Not good enough. Defensive horror shows and defensive collapses are all too familiar now and it doesn’t look like TM is capable of addressing that. Sadly I think it may well be time for a change of ideas. Good to see Gallagher score though.

Every team has off days...but that felt way more than an off day imo. Very concerning as desire and commitment is usually what we get from TM’s side.

Wow I’m struggling to comprehend what I’ve witnessed there. Birmingham won’t have an easier game in the next ten years. So unprofessional.

Unprofessional performance with a sheer lack of effort or desire. Gallagher is absolutely garbage. Worst 45 of the season so far.

Absolutely atrocious so far. Deservedly losing.

Same old deficiencies as last season. If you can’t defend then you’ll go nowhere.

Isn’t it three at the back with wingbacks?

That’s actually a really good starting 11; really pleased to see Holtby and Naymbe starting. More confident now than I was before the team was announced.

What a disastrous couple of days. Probably the two players - only secondary to Dack - we couldn’t afford to lose. Yet we end up losing both for several months.

Huge blow, massively weakens our defence. I think we have to go with three at the back now and bring Tosin in. We simply cannot have Bell as a regular starter.

Whilst I agree that we’re headed for another season of mediocrity, I wouldn’t be getting rid of TM at this stage. We’re a bad appointment away from free fall again and another stint in lge 1. I’d much rather take mid table over that and then re-evaluate in the summer. I wouldn’t back against some positive results again after the international break and suddenly a 4-2 shocker against a crap team like QPR is a little easier to take. TM has always bounced back well from moments where people question his position.

Horrific performance and result. I’m afraid top 6 teams do not lose 4-2 away to QPR, another season of mediocrity beckons. Very concerning day.

I know many will disagree, but I’ve been really impressed with our performances over the past few games. We’ve dominated the ball, won the ball back quickly and aggressively (Travis - what a player!), and have generally controlled the games. Plus, we’ve seen some real quality players in there that will surely mean we’ll win a lot of games this season - Holtby, Dack, Downing, Rothwell and Armstrong have looked good in patches. Sometimes it’s not all about results at this stage of the season, you get a feel for how we may do based on performances too. I remember our first season we came down and our early season results were very good but performances were woeful - we ended up nearly getting relegated. Results have been ok this season and performances have been good imo. The big problem, as many have said, is that our 12m worth of strikers don’t look like they’ve got a goal between them. I have more hope in Brereton longer term than I do Gallagher, but feel like we need someone else shorter term. Sheff W are desperate to get Rhodes out of the door in Jan...just a thought.

If only we had a top class striker, we’d then be very firm favourites for a top 6 slot. Gallagher doesn’t look the answer on any level. I’d even move Samuel ahead of him.
