I also tried to work out who all the names were, but the 2 I couldn’t be sure of on the lined paper were the one that’s top left (above Tony Rees) and the one that’s below Mark Prudhoe - any ideas?

Lol spot on, said that to my missis watching him the other day. Great talent.

—————————-Etheridge———————————
————Roberts———Dean———-Friend————
——Colin———San Jose——Sunjic———Pedersen
——————————-Sanchez————————-
———————-Hogan———-Leko———————-

You’d think Pedersen was good enough to play wing back?

I was never an avid autograph hunter but came across these 2 gems from the 80s when doing some clearing out. Some stellar names in there, particularly from the 81/2 pages, what a team that was:

Contract expires in June 2021,he turns 31 in December.

Should we try to get him in January?, an offer of around £2-3m would do it in my opinion.

I don't like him but if he was "ours" I think we'd all love him, we've been crying out for his type for almost a decade now.

Just do it Blues.

Crowley?

Two have gone out of business today.

read that report and all they are doing is rebranding under one brand rather than numerous ones.

One thing I’ve not seen mentioned amongst all of the negativity is that we had 2 key players out yesterday and Saturday. Juke and Toral both looked good in the first few matches and held up the ball well. For people saying we had no plan B last night - well surely that would have been a different story with Juke, Crowley or Toral available. Karanka said himself that he changed the formation due to the lack of a number 10. Not to mention Leko just being back from an ACL.

Hogan couldn’t hold the ball up on his own... Читать дальше...

Bottle Jobs wheres the composure gone Tom?

No issues with us being defensive, in fact I quite like it when we're defensive, cede possession but cause big problems on the break.

Under Rowett and often under Monk we were defensive, ceded possession, but regularly had 15+ shots a game. It'd be nice to become something like that.

Defeat to Norwich City at Carrow Road on Tuesday evening extended Birmingham Citys winless run to five games. Chances were at a premium for Blues and the sending off of Adam Clayton for a second bookable offence turned out to be the prelude to the only goal of the game. Yet there are reasons that Bl

Sadly, the harsh reality is that in spite of having an experienced manager and a more solid team, we still have too many players who are just not good enough to compete with the best in this division.

Passing accurately to our players. It's poor as comparisons with Norwich's players made clear. Norwich look an excellent team again but we have so few players able to pass well under pressure. Sanchez can do it, as can Friend, so can Clayton, if he is 50 yards from goal. Leko in time, hopefully... Читать дальше...

Hi all, hope you don't mind me gatecrashing your board but I was just after your opinions on Aitor Karanka now you've had a few games under him. He split the Boro fans opinions due to his style of football, with half slating him for being ultra-negative and the other half idolising him for what he achieved.
Personally I am in the anti camp as, although he settled the ship at Boro and won us promotion (only for us to absolutely stink the Premeirship out!), his style of play was extremely defensive. Читать дальше...

Mad Blue

I would take promotion with boring football.
