Doing this whilst the negative mood is in the air.

 

After today's pantomime performance and us showing festive spirit(or drinking large amounts of it),i'm not one bit optimistic for the visit of

Jasper Carrot's favourites.

Dougie Freedman will know his honeymoon period is over and somehow needs to mould his shower of overpaid underperforming shower of shite into an effective team unit.

Atmosphere will be flatter than Mavis Riley's chest,crowd a disappointing 16,780 and i'm not even attempting to second guess the team selection.

6-1 to them with hat-tricks for the Francis twins,Kev and Trev.

Stu gets our goal

 

Had a bastardnuff of this dire muck being served up

Good game, some of our fans booing with less than 15 minutes gone, cocks.

 

Looking forward to seeing Chungys goal again.

Our fans at the bok are the biggest set of inbred fukwits ever. Quick enough to boo. Yet just clap to we r one an only. Fuck off u retards

I'm a morning person, so to speak.

 

You are clearly a sick man, too.

Alonso and Pratley were apparently ace today

 

Do it two games on the run and then they'll prove something

 

(Like all of em)

 

They're all good enough to do it now and then; that's the problem

 

Fingers crossed for Leeds??

My 'official' verdict for a local blog....

 

 

Having consumed a few too many mince pies in the hope of raising spirits following Boxing Day’s display against Sheffield Wednesday; I must say that I wasn’t feeling too optimistic of claiming all the points against Birmingham on Saturday either. How wrong I was.

Changes needed to be made to the starting eleven after the Boxing Day Baloney and Dougie duly obliged – not the team I would have selected but who am I to question.

The return of the skipper was inevitable, his passion and old fashioned fight is exactly what is needed right now, but the inclusion of Darren Pratley generated many groans on the Reebok concourse.

Pratley has a point to prove, and that he did – arguably being the difference and the missing piece in Wanderers’ jigsaw in recent weeks. He put his body on the line, put his head in where it hurt and drove Bolton onto victory alongside a rejuvenated Tim Ream and Marcos Alonso – all contenders for Man of the match in my opinion.

When Zigic put Brum ahead, a sense of ‘here we go again’ spilled from my thoughts and boo’s echoed around in earshot as the guilty Zat Knight received treatment only yards away.

From then on, Pratley and Co were in total control – a performance I would describe as a cut above those witnessed in recent weeks but not the finished product by any means. Birmingham were bad, but take nothing away from the boys, who silenced the majority with a truly professional display.

January is going to be massive both on, but more so off the pitch to determine our season and my full trust is in Dougie. One thing for certain, he needs backing from above though – surely something spoken about before he switched from Crystal Palace.

Craig Dawson and Stephen Warnock would be a great start, coupled with the return of Stuart Holden and David Wheater, however I would love to see Joe Riley and goal machine Tom Eaves given a chance on the bigger stage.

All we ever seem to do is invest in promising youngsters, loan them out and then release them at a later stage. What’s the harm in Riley and Eaves getting a chance, especially when money is tight.

Being only 1 victory away from a respectable 9th position heading into the New Year isn’t all doom and gloom, and with some welcome additions to the squad on the horizon, it can only make us better.

Come on you Whites!!

 

Good win but Brum are really poor based on today.

 

And despite some good individual performances we still look way too open at times.

 

B-

Really?

 

 

Very little end result

 

Often gives the ball away

 

Passes often go astray

 

Often makes the wrong decision

The 'we are staying up chant' tickled me yesterday. Good to see we still have some very witty fans amongst us, just a shame we have a shit load if booing fuckwits.

Certainly thought ream, mears, alonso and pratley had their best games for us today. Skd was very good as was chippy. Spearing was always available. Only negative for me was eagles, kept trying to do too much. However, they were poor, but can only beat what's in front of you. Leeds here we come.

 

Eagles is going through a dip in form but he has played well for most of the season so he's due a couple of bad games.

 

Somebody mentioned we need to be better at stopping crosses getting into the box. We do need to work on this but I thought it was a very good cross by Burke for their goal.

Been reading (wasn't there yesterday) that Zigic's sending off was for 2 yellows... he got a straight red on the highlights I saw

Nah jazza, look again it was a second yellow maybe camera was too slow as ref couldn't wait to get the second yellow/red card combo out. Zigic had been whinging at him all match. First yellow was presumably for unsporting behaviour as he tried to kick the ball out of Bogdans hands on a goal kick.

 

Not too much hope for Leeds, its been beaten out of me. Noticed Becchio was sub for Leeds yesterday.

Challenging the keeper like that is dangerous play and a booking.

But no one is saying he's going to win the Ballon d'or. He's doing alright, I don't see anyone saying he's a world beater.

Could have killed him. Most dangerous thing I've ever seen on a football pitch.

Birmingham were so poor you cannot make any judgements on the back of the game but we did what we had to.

 

Enjoyed us keeping the ball and knocking it about in injury time, gave the crowd a lift.

happy overall with yesterday, responded well to going a goal behind and looked comfortable once we'd scored, most comfortable performance have seen under Freedman so all credit to the players after some dross of late

 

means nowt though unless we do what we've not done all season and follow up with another win as we're still in that no mans land between the play offs and botto three - a win at Leeds and things may not look so lost going into the new year

 

I had no idea, till I read this thread, that Paul Robinson was playing for them yesterday!

That's why they're going down

Showing that he can play to the same standard on either side of the back line!

 

He was the last Brum player to leave the pitch as he acknowledged the home crowd as well as the away.

 

Brum fans on the train into Piccadilly were well content as Villa (in particular), WestBrom and Wolves all lost.

Just seen the goals

 

Their goal represents alot of what we're doing wrong; Alonso nowhere near close enough to block the cross and Mears non-attempt at jumping and heading the ball. Very, very poor

 

The Mears cross and Alonso header for our first were great though

 

They are typical "Coyle players" as above illustrates

 

Nice to see CYL looking back to his best by the sounds of it, his goal showed great pace but also confidence and calmness. Well done lad!
