Given that we've now got the Spanish McLeish in charge of us with his already proven ability to make us organised and sound defensively, what stops this side being able to get a play-off place?

We're short of a few things looking at today's game;

a) Pace

b) Creativity

c) Goals

I love Juke to bits, and he'll be important as an option as we quality and depth, but we need a top pacey striker who is good at playing on his own.

I'm not entirely sure Hogan is that player... Читать дальше...

I think we’ll be similar to a Preston team, hard to get past and not the best watch but do the right things and slug out wins that are unexpected

Absolutely chuffed to bits today. The power of football. Enjoy your weekend ????

Yep.
Look at Clayton and Sunjic today and think what he could have got out of Jude ????

Suited for me = business

Nah!! As bad as collars on football shirts

Can't believe there's not a thread on him.
Will turn out to be a fan favourite. Glides past players, comfortable in possession, good work rate and doesn't mind putting a foot in or heading it.
He's a player

Put in a hell of a shift today. Great communication with Friend and Dean. Will we sell him?

He gets some stick but you can genuinely see he wants to give his all for the blues. I thought he also had a great game today. Let’s get behind him blues!

For the second season running Thomas Frank saw his Brentford team start their campaign with defeat to a resolute Birmingham City side

Good in the Southampton match there, allowing the ref to reduce his decision from red to yellow.

It may have been said but how one sided are Sky ! They so wanted Brentford to equalise, 20 mins for Brentford 15 mins for Brentford 10 mins etc etc never once did they say Birmingham could double the lead .....one eyed tos*pot* and where did they get that panel of 3 from ....quite frankly ...shite

Decent ????

Can't remember ever being as impressed as I was today. Leko and Etheridge to add to the mix too. Final piece of the jigsaw will be a pacy forward (maybe a loan?) and a natural goalscorer (Hogan?). I was quick to criticise our lack of forwards previously, and it remains a concern, but every debutant today added to the team as a whole above last seasons levels, so credit where it's due, well done Blues.

Jeacock 8 - superb game, didnt look overawed once and made at least two stops i thought were in

Colin 7 - looks loads better now he has a competent manager telling him what to do
Dean 6 - did the basics well but should have been sent off, lucky
Friend 9 MOTM - outstanding game, we've needed this
Pedersen 4 - what the fecking hell happened second half? looked like he was playing in a red shirt

Sunjic 7 - great shift, slightly lucky to not walk
Clayton 7 - looks good... Читать дальше...

Died at kick off today 12:30. Aged 53 lifelong blues. F**k you cancer. Kro

Some weeks ago I confirmed we’d be pissing this league and people pointed and laughed. Now it’s actually happening. Fire up the bus

Worked really hard, fair play as I thought we would get a bit of a dicking.

Prieto injured, Jeacock starts, Etheridge on the bench

Need to be very clever this half.

Keep it compact but choose our moments to break.

Much more encouraging with the pace of Sanchez and Bela on the wings.

Wouldn't it be nice to get a second goal for a change instead of always worrying.

Anybody else not able to watch the game??

Okay here
