MATCHWATCH : Birmingham City (a)

[bcubed]

Do we really want to see penalties given for things as soft as that? Joao made a meal of it & it was rightly not given

We want them given for fouls. Joao won the ball, got kicked in the foot. Foul.

If that was the other way round, we would’ve been lamenting it being given. It was a tap...it’s a contact sport. Maybe if Joao didn’t make a meal of it it, it would’ve been given. Or more likely the ref saw it as soft as baby’s skin so let it slide

See my reply from earlier

[Ascotexgunner]

That’s us done for now we won’t finish in the playoffs

Bournmouth look like their gonna put a run together. If we can't beat times like this we ain't gonna make it.

[WoodleyRoyal]

Pauno beginning to get on my nerves with shit tactics team selections and subs. If we don’t make the playoffs I do wonder if his future might be in doubt

Joao needs to be dropped.He is offering nothing.

[CountryRoyal]

There never seems to be a plan with Pauno’s substitutions - it’s just let’s put on this player. It never seems there is actually any tactical thought to it.

He’s not at fault today imho, or at least not entirely. That starting 11 should easily be good enough to get a win against this lot - new manager bounce or not. Very disappointing and we’ve seen it too often.

[Snowflake Royal]

Exasperating as ever, how in gods name can anybody seriously consider this team capable of promotion

Spot on. This lot would potentially set a low points record of all time.

oxf*rd me you must be the life and soul of the party.

[CountryRoyal]

Joao needs to be dropped.He is offering nothing.

Joao could literally score 10 own goals and he would still not be dropped.

[Zip]

Where is the urgency? Where is the movement?

He’s now contributing minus goals. Drop him.

We're finishng 8th, Richards, Olise, and Joao are leaving this summer and we are going back to 17th. Happy St. Patrick's Day.

[bcubed]

Even the commentators are surprised by this refs decisions or non decisions

[Greatwesternline]

We still have a striker and Aluko on the bench. Im just not sure why when losing our balance is so heavily weighted towards defence.

Game after game we only start with three attacking players it does my head in.

Oh and Pauno will be fired by 2022

Man management might be ok but seems clueless in every other area.

I know Joao's been poor recently, but he's still our top scorer and scored one and created one in the last 2 games. And he always looks a bit arse, until he burys one. Plus Meite is only just back from injury and him and Puscas don't really play well together.

Why is Ejaria trying to play clever clever one twos?

He's Ejaria.

[Zip]

Assuming we lose this we will have lost more than we have won since our great run at the start of the season. That says an awful lot. We ain’t good enough.

[Royal_jimmy]

We can kiss goodbye to the playoffs

[alfie9]

Why is Ejaria trying to play clever clever one twos?

Same reason why he's stuck in this embarrassment of a club and not the Premier League
